Week 23

I don't have a fancy name for this week's post, but we're sailing smoothly along the second trimester. Physically, I would say I'm doing pretty great. The back aches are still not fun and if anything getting worse but I'm adjusting and for the most part I'm feeling wonderful. I have the energy to go and do unlike the first trimester, which is refreshing. I'm definitely eating for two now. I feel like I am constantly hungry. A fact that is starting to reflect in my appearance. I am sporting a small basketball these days.

Emotionally, well that's another story. My hormones are up and down like a giant roller coaster. Some days are great, some days are not great. Traffic can send me into tears. Commercials can send me into tears. Some days I'm beyond happy, other days I'm beyond depressed. I never know what I'm going to get in the morning.

The peanut is definitely moving more and her kicks and taps are getting stronger. The other day her kick was so strong it made me double over. Perhaps there is a soccer player in the making... although, I know nothing of soccer so maybe a really agile dancer.

All in all, we're doing great. Welcome Week 23!
