I start my second trimester this week, and I can't believe it. This pregnancy is speeding by, but that's okay with me, because I am eager to get rid of things like the constant nausea and exhaustion that I've been dealing with for the entire first trimester. I was nauseous with Gabbie too, but it was nowhere near this bad. Also, with her, I at least had cravings and if I ate something I felt better. With this one, nothing sounds good and if I eat more than a few bites I start to feel worse. It should come as no surprise, then, that I just posted my first weight gain of this pregnancy, and am finally about 1 pound up from my lowest weight (and still about a pound less than when I first got pregnant). It would be surprising, though, if you saw me in person, because, well, look:
I'm huge already! There's no denying that there's something going on in there at this point! I don't think I was this big until about halfway through my pregnancy with Gabbie (for comparison's sake, here I am at 23 weeks with Gabbie). It's getting a little ridiculous.
Oh, well. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts, because this is likely the last time I'll be pregnant. As long as I can start to enjoy food and be better company soon, I'll be all set.

You look adorable!!! I noticed I gained weight a lot more quickly the second time around. And like you, the scale kept saying otherwise. But bellies don't lie! It did start to taper off later in the pregnancy, though, as I recall.
I was going to ask you how the nausea was this time around. I can't believe how well you hid this from all of us for 12 weeks, especially feeling so sick. I hope you start feeling better soon!
Holy cute pregnant lady! Hope you feel better soon, and yes, take advantage of it all - pregnancies usually go by super fast.
