25 weeks along today! I feel great. The heartburn is still easy and I have no food issues what so ever. I am working 5 days a week right now because I have no reason not too. So of course I hear "This has been easy on you so far". Hmm. The first trimester was spent bleeding and puking and no energy. I vowed never to do this again! But of course, thats in the past (and a reminder in blog form) and trimester 2 could not have been any easier for me. Of course my doctor told me it all goes down hill from now. Luckily it was the doc I love and would give anything for her to be in the hospital with me. I also get told I am not showing much. Well, I wasnt and Im really still not very much for 6 months. You can almost tell in my work uniform now and in clothes I look like I ate an extra big mac on break everyday for a few years. I have 2 tight skin bands that leave indents in my belly so its not round looking. But I have gained 21lbs now! And measuring on track so its all good. Im just not putting the eliptical in the basement for a while cause Im going to need to use that. I saw baby again this week so they could get kidney measurments and spine. I was told all my results are perfect and no news from my fetal echo so that was perfect too. After doing IVF, I was scared something would be be too good to be true. I dont care how baby comes out and what it took and what I got, but I would feel so bad if I forced this to happen only to have a baby who has a harder than average life. There could still be issues of course but at least so far things appear to be going easy.
Baby sits low very often and has the hiccups on a regular basis. Good for my ribs so far, not so good for the bladder. I love when baby is being lazy and all matt has to do is put his hand on my belly and baby just has to say hi :) Ahhh life is good. I got used to thinking this was never going to happen and now its here and real and amazing.
