Man...I thought the second trimester was supposed to be the time to get caught up in your sleep!!!! Last week was BRUTAL!!! Anyway, I'm getting back to feeling like my normal self again after the weekend.
Pregnancy hormones are interesting...especially when you're tired. As if PMS didn't make me feel crazy enough...now my emotions are all over the place sometimes!!! I'm finally starting to develop the official baby belly now and really feel pregnant. However, this past week for the first time I looked in the mirror and wondered if I looked pregnant or just "fat". Some of those old feelings I had dealt with when I was overweight came flooding back. I suddenly became very aware and self-conscious with my physical appearance. It actually seems silly now because I'm at a point where I really am feeling comfortable with my body and I'm proud of my baby belly. Weight issues and body image will probably always be something that I will have to struggle with at times, but I honestly now feel that food will not control my life.
I cannot believe that I am already over halfway through this pregnancy! The baby is moving at times. I'm feeling little bubble-like movements, or what I would call "abdominal palpitations" from our little baby inside me. It's so amazing. I feel these movements and it makes me giggle... just falling more in love with this little baby growing inside...a real live baby. I truly believe that I am so blessed by God to be experiencing all of this.
