Hi all,
Well, since I'm trying to make this a diary too, I wanted to report on what's happening with my body right now.
Well, on my trip to Santa Clara and San Francisco, I did pretty good. The little bean is becoming quite the kicker! It is fun to feel, but a little strange too. He'll usually have a bout of activity for a day or so, then a day or two of quiet, then back and active again. Even the quiet days I feel the little movements...and, I think the other night I felt him have the hiccups! It was regular light motion that wasn't like a kick...too cute.
The other side of pregnancy is the physical aspect. When I was away, I forgot to bring my spray-on Palmar's cocoa butter oil. With that and using hotel soap that dries you out, my belly felt so stretched! When I took a shower this am, I used it again and feel so much better. I also had a hot dog yesterday and I think the salt is making me swell as I now have cankles! (Calf Ankles!) I'll go and elevate them soon when I'm done posting!
Other than that, I am feeling pretty darn good and feel lucky so far. I am actually enjoying the pregnancy much more than in the 1st trimester and have some good energy. I was worried I was going to not like being pregnant, but for now, it's kind of fun. (I know, I know...just wait until the 3rd trimester...well, I'll just enjoy this while I can!)
I got a ton of clothes from my good friend in SF, a stroller, a bumbo, a vibration seat, sheets and bumpers, a doorway bouncy seat, boppy pillow, infant tub, changing pad, and a restaurant travel seat. Some other friends are giving us a crib, high-chair and other items, so we're doing pretty good so far! I think I might get my SF friend's breast pump too, and I know it's a nice one. I know those can be super expensive, so I'm so happy about that!
Okay, I was going to make this short, but it's become a novel! Love to everyone and hope you're all doing great. Now to go prop my ankles up!
xoxo Yo!
My journey through life...whether it be trying to conceive, adoption, changing careers, or playing with my kitties....

Sorry about the cankles. But hooray for all the great stuff you got from your friend. The breast pump... if you can manage to swing that one from your friend will be most excellent. Yea, they are expensive. I am using my SIL's, so I didn't have to buy one. Glad you're having a great pg now. And don't worry, the third trimester is great too... except for the last month. So you've got a few great months ahead.
