Fourteen Weeks

So here we are. I've thought myself in the second trimester for a while now, but a lot of pregnancy books etc., don't consider you there until the end of the 13th week. I've never really understood that, but whatever! I'm here and you're here and all is well. I slept terribly last night - just couldn't get comfortable and felt kind of crampy. The cramps are gone today, but I feel terrible from the lack of sleep. And I'm really starting to feel "fat" the last 2 or 3 days. Clothes are uncomfortable but technically still fit, so I'm really not into maternity clothes. I just have been wearing what I have and by the end of the day I'm miserable and anxious to change into pajama pants at home. But if the fat days are any inclination, I expect to need those maternity clothes fairly soon. They are all washed and hanging in the closet so I'm ready to go when the time comes. I shouldn't need to buy many additional clothes, thank goodness. I do need a pair or two of shorts, though I'm happy to live in capris most of the time. I have a handful of nicer work clothes, and generally a lot of stuff overall so I think I'm okay there.

I haven't really been feeling you. I still truly believe I did feel you a few times back in the 12th week, but not much since. Would be nice to connect with you that way, but I know we have plenty of time for that. Anyway - stay cozy and safe in there. I'll try not to drink so much juice - I have been craving it like crazy and I imagine it's giving you quite the sugar high. Sorry about that.
