2nd Trimester

As I moved into my second trimester, I was feeling immensely better, just as the books said I would. This marked the end of my morning sickness and the comeback of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Of course, I still love mac & cheese, and pizza, etc., but who doesn't?!?!

I was even feeling well enough to exercise again. Although I wasn't lifting weights anymore, I was at least walking and had even started practicing prenatal Pilates, which made me feel refreshed, revived and strong.

I thought I could do it all - at work and at home. I was going to be that annoyingly perfect pregnant person who manages their same workload or more, continues exercising and doing household chores, eats well, and still has a social life, all while carrying two babies. I was completely drained but I kept seeing a light at the end of the tunnel so I kept pushing myself to just make it there. In hindsight, I was probably taking on a little too much because next came the bed rest (see "On Bed Rest at 19 Weeks").

I'm so excited about your blog! I really enjoyed reading all about how you and the babies are doing, and I espeically loved seeing the pictures again. I'm so glad we are jumping into the "blog" world together, what fun! I added you to my blog so I no longer have to update everyone about you...they will be able to check for themselves. Love you!
