Only 167 Days Left!!!

Oh, how I love the 2nd Trimester! Morning sickness went away right before 12 weeks, a week later, I got my energy back, and now, I feel normal again, aside from the fact that I'm getting fatter. And the weird cramps. And my bottomless pit of a stomach. And my dry skin. And.... well, there are lots of other things I could add, so I'll just list them for you:

Things I love about being Pregnant:
*my boobs - I have cleavage for the 1st time in my life!!
*the fact that I'm growing another human being
*the attention, esp from Mike
*maternity jeans - soo comfy!
*the idea of having an infant in the house
*the idea that we made this little one together
*I lost the morning sickness and the exhaustion...for now
*sleeping for 10 hours a night
*shopping for mat. clothes
*shopping for baby
*ultrasounds!

Hate:
*my sciatic nerve
*the one huge cyst on my chin that I've had for a month
*that gaggy feeling I get all day
*constipation
*hemmis
*knee & shoulder pain
* peeing at night
*my complex about getting bigger
*headaches
*completely exhausted by 9:30 pm
*random cramping
*post-sex spotting
*eating because I HAVE to
*crying for no reason
*back pain

Off the topic of baby, Mike's boat pulled in 4 days early, so we get to spend 4 extra days together! YAY!! It is so strange to have him home this time. It doesn't seem real; more like a dream. I'm loving it, though!!

Here I am at 16 weeks, just starting to really get a belly:
