By Doze is Stuffed Ub

I'm just over 16 weeks now, and my nose is feeling the brunt of it now! Who knew that pregnancy causes you to become congested? Apparently all the additional blood coursing through my system is putting pressure on my nasal passages, which causes me to stuff up and sneeze a lot.

Mmm...food

Food finally tastes really, really good again. :o) Everything on the menu sounds amazing, and I am alway happy to eat. It's amazing how dramatically your attitudes toward food change so rapidly during the first few months! I've been good, though, and I'm not "eating for two". Everything I've read says I only need an additional 300 calories per day from this point forward, which is basically a tall glass of milk. Though yesterday I had an Oreo milkshake instead. ;o) In other exciting news, we got our first baby presents today. We got an infant snuggli that allows you to "wear" baby on your front. I pulled it out of the box when I got home and kept trying to imagine an actual little person in it. It sort of feels like having Christmas Eve about six months before Christmas morning!

Officially in the 2nd Trimester

We've made it to the 2nd trimester, and I'm feeling pretty good. :o) I'm starting to show a teeny bit, and a couple of people have actually asked me if I'm pregnant. My new favorite thing in the world is the Bella Band, because my normal pants are anything but comfortable anymore & I'm no where near fitting into maternity pants. I'm a 'tweener!
