I haven’t done a recap in the last two weeks, so I’m going to bundle them together. When people told me during the 1st trimester that things get better, you won’t even remember this time , etc etc I didn’t really believe them. I’m still waiting for that switch to turn and be in happy 2nd trimester land, but it’s definitely not as bad as it was! I have more good days than bad, so I guess what everyone said was true and now I believe them:) I was talking to girl today who told me with her first child she would some times throw up 5x a day! OMG…that would be so hard- so it made me feel bad about even complaining about some nausea and headaches!! And she went on to have 2 more kids, so I guess you do forget those rough time!!
I went to the doctor two Wednesdays ago to have my 16 week checkup. We basically chatted about how things are going, how I’ve been feeling and stuff like that. I did get a prescription for headaches cause I’m prone to migraines and those aren’t getting much better with just tylenol:( We talked a lot about workouts and training and how to understand my body and the changes I’m going through. And boy am I really starting to feel all these changes now!! It’s crazy! I get fatigued so much quicker than I used to but it’s all good. So I may get winded every time walking up to our 3rd floor apartment, but I know I have two heartbeats going now so I need to take things a little slower!
Workouts have been going pretty well! Click here for Week 16 and here for Week 17. I was able to get in 4 training sessions this last week, which was really good. I guess I do have my energy levels back and the motivation is there again.
My taste for healthy food is coming back…yeah!! I had broccoli twice last week which is huge for me cause I couldn’t stomach it the last 15 weeks or so! I even had some carrots…and I am unfortunately have never been a lover of those little orange things, but I had a few and actually liked them! I know they are good foods for your 2nd trimester, so I had to give it a shot. So maybe my food preferences are changing? I heard that happens. Do I see mushrooms and tomatoes in my future!? Umm….Not sure…but the hubby would be so happy if I did!
In two weeks from Tuesday we get to find out the sex of our little snowflake! I’m so excited, but I think it’ll be bad once we do find out cause I can’t stop shopping around for baby stuff! I bought this cute little hat the other day that looks like a basketball…LOVE IT!
Lastly, we booked ourselves a BABYMOON!! So excited! We are heading to Vegas in March! Who goes to Vegas pregnant? Looks like the Snows do! There’s plenty to do with out having to drink, so it should be fun. Looking at show options and food options! If anyone has any recommendations, I’d be happy to hear them! We are staying at Aria, which I heard is great. We LOVE the Cosmopolitan and would love to stay there again, but the rate we got at Aria (for $79/night!!) was just to sweet to pass up!
More updates to come as the weeks progress!!
