The 2nd Trimester Ends

Here I am at 25 weeks (about 6 months along).


































The pregnancy seems to going very well. The 2nd trimester really is the best. I felt almost completely normal, except for the fact that bending over to put on socks got more and more difficult each day. Other than that, I loved the 2nd trimester. Why can’t it always be like this?


Our last checkup went well. I think the baby knew we were listening to his heartbeat. He really started to move and kick as soon as I lay down. My entire belly was jumping all over the place. I love that feeling. It almost feels like I have a really big twitch.


The other day while driving home from work, the baby was doing somersaults or something. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster or freefalling. I really got butterflies in my stomach. It was such a neat feeling.


On Sunday we celebrated Father’s Day with our Dads. I was so excited I could hardly wait to give Sam his Father’s Day gift. Now I can’t wait for our baby to wear it! He is going to be the cutest Braves fan ever!!!



















Today I completed my 27th week. So now I’ll be starting my 3rd trimester. I can’t believe how fast things are going. The baby is getting quite big (at least in comparison to where he started). At our last checkup our doctor told us he was about 2½ pounds. I’m not sure how he can even tell without seeing an ultrasound, but I trust his opinion.
