As I sail into my 18th week of pregnancy, I am loving the 2nd trimester. I remember reading "What To Expect" during those first few months thinking that the constant nausea, the bloat, and the feeling that I could fall asleep anywhere anytime, would never end.
It ended.
As I type those words, I have a permagrin. I have worn that permagrin for the last couple of weeks. What a gift this 2nd trimester is. The bloat of the belly, the first feelings of the little guy moving around, and while my worry hasn't halted, there are times when I feel better than I ever have, and it is then that I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Yes, this is ridiculously cheesy & cliche, but there is no greater miracle and the fact that I get to be a part of this grand story makes my heart pitter patter.
The other great thing about the 2nd trimester...the fact that I don't have the guilt that usually comes along with ice cream:)
Imagine your dad getting up at all hours to run to the store to get me whatever I desired when I was pregnant for you!! He never complained once, all I had to tell him was the baby, (you) wanted it! I went through a lot of ice cream that summer.
