Today officially puts me past that scary and wretched part of pregnancy, where everything is a possible miscarriage and where you feel like everyone knows your little secret (or at least thinks that you're getting really fat)! Well, I happily say goodbye to those 3 months. I want to have something to show for those months and I want to be able to not HAVE to take a nap. I am ready to be over all the morning sickness that no one ever tells you lasts ALL day. I'm ready, oh yes, I am ready. Happy second trimester! I need a cupcake!
Today I went through my closet to pack away all those snug-fitting clothes someplace way out of my sight. (What I've been doing is just throwing the stuff that doesn't fit way back into the abyss that is my closet. You can see how that wouldn't be a good idea for long...) It's been discouraging getting dressed for work in the morning lately. Nothing fits right. I am somewhere in that area of not-quite-maternity clothes but not fitting into my regular stuff either. So what I did today was pull out all of my former pants that I worked so hard to shrink out of last summer. I have to say, pulling them out again was a bit depressing, but at least this time I have a reason to be wearing them.
But speaking of maternity clothes, I went to lunch with my friend Ann who lives in the city. I went home with a really cute maternity sweater and some great "Mimi" maternity pants (not to mention tons of great advice and support!!!). And on Friday, I got this awesome present from my buddy Emily. It's a maternity t-shirt that has leaves all over it and it says "Coming This Fall." How funny! And Saturday we got a package from our friends Chris and Rachel that had a cigar for Tim, so cute slippers for me, and some baby nail clippers for Jellybean! (And how appropriate, too! Rachel has a nail clippers collection and we've given her tons of nail clippers from touristy destinations... how funny that she sent us a pair!)So basically, it's been a hard trimester to get through, but my friends and family have been so amazingly incredible and so supportive, from phone calls and thoughtful gifts to prayers and shared glee. I am so thankful that you are all part of Jellybean's world! Here's to a healthy (and way more fun) second trimester!
