2nd Trimester – Done!

Again I say, where is the time going. Summer is going by in a flash and my second trimester went along without a hitch.  THANK GOD!  Glucose test – check!  Iron test – check! So here we are already in the last trimester, plump (up 16 lbs!) and healthy.  The belly has doubled in size, feet swelling is becoming a big giant reality (pun intended), and healthy eating has been slowly replaced by some serious “I only a couple more months left to eat whatever I want” cravings.  Its a real shame In-N-Out is on my way home every.single.day!

Aside from pregnancy health, the last couple months saw busy days of nursery prep – see my inspiration here –  and European Babymoon bliss….more on that fun stuff later!

Have you told family and friends: Yes!

Miss Anything? Eating salami and prosciutto 

Movement: YES, tons!  Sometimes it feels like he’s gonna jump out of my belly.

Food cravings: Carbs!  white rice in particular.  So weird!

Have you started to show yet:  Definitely!
