Everyone has told me that in the second trimester, you are supposed to be full of energy. Well, then I must be a serious exception to that rule. I'm still tired, and I'm about to be 18 weeks along! I mean, I'm not nearly as tired as I was before, but still, I feel as though I need a nap during the day. I've started to sleep better during the night this week, but still have a very difficult time getting out of bed in the morning. What's up with that?
I know everyone is different and all, but why does it have to be me? I was looking forward to getting some energy back, but I guess I'll just have to deal. I haven't gotten super hungry yet, so I'm not sure when that's supposed to kick in either. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to figure myself out, day by day.

Almost Half Way!
I'm a little over 17 weeks, and I'm super excited! In just a couple short weeks (July 11th), I will be finding out the gender of my baby!
I had my monthly appointment yesterday, and it went really well. The doctor scared the crap out of me though. She asked me if I had been feeling the baby move at all. I told her, that I haven't felt anything at all, which made me a little nervous. She said that sometimes for first time pregnancies, you don't start to feel the baby move until around 20 weeks, so I shouldn't worry. Then, when she went to find the heartbeat, she couldn't find it right away. I can't even begin to tell you how scared I was....but she finally found it. It was all the way over on the right, as opposed to the middle where it has always been before. I have never been more relieved in my life!
I've gained a total of 4 lbs, which she said was good, and I'm only just starting to show a little. Not much, I only have a very small bump, but I'm actually excited for it to get bigger!

I'm Not The Only Crazy One
I was searching around the web for pregnancy info. It's much easier to read it on the web for free, than to buy a book with the same information. Anyway, I came across a website that said you should expect weird dreams throughout pregnancy. One of the common dreams is dreaming you're giving birth to an animal. It is so reassuring to know that I'm not the only one dreaming that I'm giving birth to a cat!
So, I'm around 14 weeks now, and even though I still don't weigh anymore than I did at the beginning of my pregnancy, NOTHING FITS! I look absolutely ridiculous in my tank tops, because I'm so puffy, and none of my pants, capris, or shorts fit. They're all too snug. It would be different if I had gained weight and my stomach actually looked like a little pregnant belly, but instead I'm just completely puffed and I just look chubby. If you saw me walking down the street, you'd just think I would need to lose 10 pounds.....you definitely wouldn't think I'm pregnant.
While I don't really feel sick anymore, I still get tired midday. I told the doctor and he said it would go away within 1-2 weeks. I tell ya, I can't wait until it does. I'm so sick of getting tired and just lazing around the house. It gets boring and VERY monotonous.
In about 4-5 weeks I will know the sex of my baby. The first week of July I'm allowed to schedule my ultrasound. I'm pretty excited. Everyone in our families thinks it is a boy. I personally feel it might be a girl. I guess we'll see. It's basically a 50/50 chance. I'm pretty excited though!
