I cannot complain about this pregnancy. I've had it pretty easy and I am very grateful. My fear early on was that I would feel tired and not great all summer and feel like I wasn't a fun mom to the boys and that we didn't get to enjoy the warm weather. But I've felt really good overall. I definitely had some fatigue, especially by nap time and the end of the day. I could hardly stay awake to watch TV past 9:30. Scratch that. I didn't stay awake to watch TV past 9:30. But I never had any food aversions or nausea thank goodness. I have craved sweets like they're going out of style. I have to be conscious about making sure I'm getting some fruit in most days.
These days my fatigue is much better and my energy levels are pretty normal. Zumba doesn't seem to take quite the toll it did early on either. I'm hoping to make it as long as I can. I want to keep toned arms as long as possible. :)
I just set our first (and probably only) sonogram date yesterday and it will be 9/9, which was Grandpa Carl's birthday. I've started thinking more and more that it's a girl. I have to remind myself that we still don't know and I really don't have a good reason for thinking that. But Blaine is with me. Every time I ask the boys if they think they will have a baby brother or sister, Pierce always says "buh" and Blaine always says "seesta". So we've decided Blaine and I are Team Seesta and Pierce and BJ are Team Buh.
I definitely have a small bump, but it's not always very obvious depending on what I wear. I'm getting past the chubby gut phase though. I realized today how much I will miss these "small days" so I should enjoy them now!
