We have hit that magical milestone where I am supposed to get bursts of energy and feeling sick becomes a faint memory... unfortunately, as I write this I am lounged out on the couch trying to keep my dinner down and battling the worst heartburn I've ever had. But a girl can dream! The important thing is Baby Ramm now has most of his/her major organs and is going to use the rest of the time to make everything bigger! Including Mommy.
I offer as proof:
The baby bump that proudly pops through all clothes, not just the form-fitting ones. I even received my first unsolicited belly touch. (For the record, I am first and foremost a Vandal and a Coug only by marriage.)
To commemorate this milestone I have some Second Trimester Resolutions:
1. Find the will to scrape myself off the couch and take Toast for nice, crisp, late fall walks. And while we are on the subject, you know that expensive gym membership I pay for every month? Get my money's worth.
2. Be more sociable!
3. Go grocery shopping regularly. I'm sure Erik will like this one considering he often hears things like "Honey, will you run to Fred Meyer and get me some more Go Gurt?"
4. Make an effort to keep the apartment clean.
5. Actually, scratch number 4. When else will I be able to get away with this?
6. On my days off, spend less time running errands and more time cuddling with Erik. It will never be just the two of us again!
So, here's to you Second Trimester! I can tell that we are going to be friends.
I love your goals! You are sure right about numbers 4 and 6! 6 will eventually return, however- get as much in as you can now!! (Speaking from experience)
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable with your baby bump and daddy surely looks happy! What a great family!
