Week 16

Here I am at 16 weeks! (You can click the pictures to see them larger, if you so desire.) I wanted to start taking pictures of Matt every couple weeks as well. I thought it would be hilarious, but it turns out he does not share my killer sense of humor.

We’ve bid the first trimester good bye and have been happily inhabiting the second trimester for a few weeks now. So far, a vast improvement! I was starting to feel better during week 13, but then I came down with a nasty flu at week 14 that set me back for several days. Once I finally got over that, I began being treated to long stretches of feeling almost…normal? Can that be? And normal is blissful right now.

I still get pretty sleepy around 8:30 p.m., but overall I have much more energy and zest for life. I can now contemplate a future with babies in it with excitement rather than a sense of “why did we think this was a good idea, again?” I have finally discovered that I do have the capacity to coo over frickin‘ adorable onesies (when I was sick, all I could do was dread how much work it would be to wash them). And today I went shopping for some maternity clothes with my mom (thanks for your help, Mom, in all its varieties!) and am ready to embrace my soon-to-be gigantic self.

We’re starting to pack up the house in anticipation of our move. It’s daunting, so I prefer to avoid thinking about it. As far as I’m concerned, we’re just putting all our stuff into boxes as part of our new cardboard-based organization system.
