I hit 14 weeks today and can't believe I'm starting the second trimester! In the books I'm reading they refer to the second trimester as the "honeymoon" trimester since it's when a woman feels her best since this is when energy returns and morning sickness usually subsides (not that I ever had much to deal with). This week the baby can squint, frown, grimace, pee, and grasp!
A little bump poking out!
Ray doesn't think I have much of a bump yet and asked me last night when I'm going to start REALLY showing. He said he thinks once I start to show a little more it will make it seem even more real and I tend to agree with him. I'm sure within the next couple weeks I'll need to transition to maternity clothes (I ordered some jeans and tops this weekend but they haven't arrived yet) and I'll really start to show. All I know is I definitely feel like I've gained more than the 2 lbs the scale is showing.
This week we also started researching daycares and have our first appointment on Tuesday to go check out a place just a few miles from our house. We have friends who just started sending their 3 month old little girl there and they had nothing but great things to say about it so hopefully we'll like it as much as them! I'm working to set-up visits at a few other places too since we keep hearing daycares in Northern Virginia have long waiting lists if you wait too long.
Also big news -- I ran 2 miles! I went for a run tonight with my friend Ashley (she's getting married in 16 days!) and while it's nowhere near the mileage I was putting in a few short months ago, it felt good to get out there and surprisingly I didn't feel like death when we finished! I'm hoping this starts to be a more regular occurrence and I can keep it up at least for a little while.
