[Moriah] Second Trimester Already?!

Yes, 'tis true. Today marks the beginning of my second trimester. I can't believe I'm already this far along. Though, I can't complain too much. Hopefully now the "morning" sickness will go away. We'll see.



I can definitely tell the baby is growing, aside from simply looking at the ultrasound pictures. I have been feeling a lot more pressure in my lower abdomen and lower back over the last few days, especially when I'm sitting upright in a chair or on the futon. I'm also starting to have trouble getting comfortable while sleeping. I'm allowed to lay on either my left or right side, but not on my back or stomach (obviously). I've been tossing and turning throughout the night, going from one side to the other, because my hips have been hurting for several weeks as well. Probably because they're expanding outward. It's going to be an interesting rest of the pregnancy.



I am also starting to show a little more, as you can see from the following picture.

I'm beginning to outgrow my usual pair of shorts. Now I'm moving on to these low-rise jean shorts (see picture) and, soon, my maternity shorts. This is certainly an interesting experience!
