They say that the second trimester is usually the easiest and that has rang true for me so far! I've felt really good, have been walking several times each week and I'm trying not to eat everything I see. People have asked me if I've craved weird things like many pregnant women do. I can't say that I've craved anything weird, but I can definitely tell when my body is asking for protein or calcium or something like that. I really love hamburgers these days but I"m not as crazy about shrimp as I used to be. Hopefully I'll get back on the shrimp kick once the baby's here.
I really want to go running while I'm out walking but my bladder is being sat on by this melon-sized baby that I have to pee like every 10-15 minutes while I'm walking as it is! So, all those runners out there who are able to run when they're pregnant, KUDOS to you! I really don't know how you do it especially when the dr already wants you to drink like 10 glasses of water a day. I do have a couple of restroom stops on my route just so I can continue the walk. So frustrating!
Matt and I have been discussing names for both genders. We're not sure yet what we want for a boy, but the girl name we're pretty sure about. And we really do not have a preference of either one-- there are actually reasons for both as to why we'd rather have either one. So, I think we'll be really excited either way!
Pray for us because it's going to be a long week and then once we find out I've got 2 other events that afternoon/night so I don't know how I'll be able to tell everyone until later. I wanted to have a gender reveal party but all of our family/friends are so scattered afar that it would just be me and Matt biting into a cupcake and that would defeat the whole purpose. So, now I've got to get creative in how I want to tell everyone.... :)
