Hello second trimester! So far, it's not any different than the first. Still have all the same stuff going on. I have been able to eat a little better but I'm still losing weight. How does that work? The one time in my life when I want to be gaining weight...I lose it. Is it just me or is "lose" a funny word? This week has been nice. I had a week long break from school before starting May term. I have one more class to take in May and then I'm done with classes for grad school. I forgot if I mentioned this last time but I found out a couple of weeks ago that I will have to take the fall semester off and do my internship in the spring. Apparently the state department doesn't like when you do split up internship. Come on! Oh well, having this baby when we have it is all part of God's perfect plan for our lives. I am so excited about starting this new chapter in our lives. We've already started converting the office into the nursery. Last weekend we moved all the furniture out and we even ordered the crib! All so very exciting. So it's about that time when I start to freak out again. My next appointment isn't until the 16th but I really wish it was closer. I know technically I'm out of the most dangerous phase but I still worry about my little one in there.
Things I've been experiencing this week:
- Headaches
- A little more energy
- Fingers and toes sometimes fall asleep
- I'm starving but nothing really sounds good still.
Facts about baby this week...
- Baby’s starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body.
- Baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb!
- Baby’s bone marrow is producing blood cells; his liver is secreting bile; his pancreas is producing insulin
