Hooray! I'm human!
I don't know if it's the change in diet or just the 2nd trimester magic finally kicking in, but I've been feeling a lot better the last few days. Oh, man, it's such a relief! It's like a fog has cleared. I still have a lot less energy than a non-pregnant person and I get headaches when I'm tired and nauseous if I don't eat often enough, but--it's hard to explain, but I feel like a person again. It's great. Now I feel like I can start to enjoy being pregnant and getting ready for the baby.
My regular pants have gotten to tight and yesterday I got a great pair of maternity pants from a consignment shop. They have a wide elastic waist band (I'm still not ready for the big ugly elastic panel ones) but they're totally cute and just look like regular pants. I need to pack up all the stuff that doesn't fit anymore to make room for a few more pairs and so that I don't have to spend the next year rummaging through drawers of clothes that don't fit.
Today my dad helped me plant my shade plants on the north side of the house. Hostas, epimideums, and saxifraga (see today's userpic). The saxifraga are just finishing blooming.
