A Third of the Way
Husband is not a carrier of any Jewish genetic disease/disorder. And the latest doctor's appointment was fine. I gained 2 lbs and the baby's heartbeat was right where it was supposed to be.
Today is my coming out party at work. I am wearing a full-on maternity shirt with maternity pants, though you would not be truly able to tell if I only had on the pants. It's the shirt that balloons out in front that gives it away. I'm also going to talk to HR today since it's open enrollment time and I want to make sure that I can add money to my flex-spending account AFTER the baby is born, for daycare, or find out if I have to figure that out now.
I have been sleeping really well the past couple of days, or at least really hard when I do finally fall asleep, though certain positions are getting more uncomfortable. But I'm feeling that 2nd trimester sense of well-being that I've heard about. When I'm not dealing with sinus headaches, that is.
I get full really quickly when I eat, but I have been eating. Not too too much, though, which is good. I am hoping that my weight gain will be minimal. Not dangerously so, of course, but I don't want to gain 50 lbs. Guess that all happens towards the end anyway so there is not much I can do about it. Remain active and eat moderately.
The only thing that worries me is I get a dull pain to the right of my belly button. That was always the place that I felt something... that was where I thought the seed first implanted. It's kind of weird, but I don't like being aware of one part of my body and analyzing every ache and pain. I start thinking of terrible things, but then I have to remind myself that two days ago, the baby seemed fine. We'll find out the gender on December 10th!!!! That I cannot wait for!!!
