The 2nd Trimester

I am loving life right now!! Maybe I am one of those glowing pregnant women after all. My nausea is completely gone and I've gotten a lot of my energy back!! I finally feel like myself again. I've heard that I go back to feeling like crap in the 3rd trimester, but I'm trying not to think about that right now and just revel in the moment!! For now, I physically feel great and am in great spirits most days! I have a wonderful supportive husband who takes care of me, spoils me and tells me how much he loves me each and every day!! I feel like this pregnancy is just bringing us closer and closer together and I couldn't be more happy right now!

Our planning and preparation for the baby is in full swing and we are quickly chipping away at our "to do" list. I finally have the spare bedroom completely cleaned out other than the furniture. No more junk stuffed in every available hidden space in that room anymore, yay!! It feels really good to clean out, consolidate and get rid of crap!! Justin has done a lot of work in the computer room, which will be the NEW spare bedroom when we are finished with it. He patched all of the holes and fixed some of the existing wall blemishes. He repainted the room and installed new baseboard and door trim. The only thing left to do is the drop ceiling and connect the new ceiling light/fan that we purchased.

I'm pretty much at a standstill now until we can out the sex and YES, of course we are finding out!! Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm crazy and need to plan and prepare for EVERYTHING. I need to know, will it be monster trucks or bows?!?! So we are anxiously awaiting our appointment on July 3rd, when the sex will finally be revealed!! That will officially be my half way point in the pregnancy. I will be a few days over 20 weeks by then! Justin is hoping for a boy...of course and I am hoping for a girl. Place your bets before it's too late! :-)
