Yes, it's official...I'm announcing on the Interwebs that I am pregnant to the world! I'm pregnant! I have not posted a single peep on Facebook about my pregnancy, and have been reluctant to do so. I was looking on my FB profile the other day and realized I still had a link to my blogger site that I start years ago. So, I figured this would be a perfect spot to secretly, not so secretly post my adventures in pregnancy and mama-hood. Yay!
Today, I am 17 weeks & 1 day (2nd Trimester) along. I am feeling well, and I only had a few episodes of morning sickness this week. Insomnia has kicked in a bit... I wake up every night at 3am like clockwork, and usually settle back to sleep an hour later. That is after several trips to the bathroom, water, a snack, and pillow rearrangement. Pillows have taken over my bed, and I am trying to train myself to be a side sleeper, which I am not. I am a stomach sleeper, which is not happening now obviously. I sleep pretty comfortably on my back, but soon I will really need to limit that as my baby belly grows and puts pressure on my vena cava artery. I think Nik and I need a bigger bed!
I promise to post a picture soon of my growing belly...and yes, it's growing! Thank goodness I have a closet full of A-line dresses and stretchy yoga pants!
PS. I am due July 7th.
