the second trimester rules
Last night, a guy friend of mine asked me if I’d experienced any of the stereotypical emotional changes that come with pregnancy, and I had to say yes. The second trimester, for me, has been everything the books said it would be. I feel fabulous and beautiful, and I often wake up happy and stay that way all day. It is quite lovely, although at times I wonder if all of my snark has left the building. Maybe it’ll be back in the third tri with a vengeance—who knows.
I passed the glucose tolerance test—score! Still have to do another one in a couple of months, but what a relief to know that so far, and knock wood, PCOS hasn’t reared its ugly head to affect this pregnancy in the ways that it could.
Next week, a friend of ours is going to go with us to The Store With The Symbol That Looks Like You Shoot Arrows At It (TSWTSTLLYSAAI—so much easier to type than just the word with a period stuck in it!) to help us register. She rocks, and it’ll be so nice to have her well-researched input to help us wade through the many aisles of baby related paraphernalia. Despite the research I have done, I still have no idea what to ask for, much less what some of that stuff even is. Hopefully our little shopping trip will clear some things up.
The bao is wiggling around in there as I type. I think she is waving hi to everyone reading. (Now the remaining little sliver of my snarky self is emerging, urging me to delete that last sentence lest it makes everyone vomit. Too bad, snarky self! See you in a month and a half.)
Hi Bao! (waving). I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. Have fun at TSWTSTLLYSAAI. And puhleez make sure to not loose snarky, although I'm sure a break is exciting. Snarky keeps us all real (or maybe this is just something I tell myself to justify my own). Anyway, great to hear things are going well!
Yay for the second trimester, that's really great to hear it's going well. The shopping/registering trip sounds like fun too, it's great to have friends like that around to help you out and bounce ideas around with. I'm sure if you're anything like me, the snarkless time is enlightening but when it returns it will be back with a vengeance lol love it!
Hooray for a great second trimester! And the dancing bao
I'm happy to hear that you're feeling fine and dandy, and I hope you have fun making the registry at TSWTSTLLYSAAI. My mother and mother in law are getting on our cases about registering. I was thinking of registering at TSWTSTLLYSAAI too, and maybe sneaking in a few not-quite-baby-items-but-related-to-the-insanity-of life-with-two-newborns. (i.e. – a slow cooker since I will no longer have time to cook.) Maybe that's going a little too far.
Go for it, I say! It never hurts to ask…
Hooray for second trimesters! I'll be curious to know what you liked best at That Store. And aw, wiggly bao.
