Sometimes time seems to fly lately. I haven't updated for 2 weeks but at the same time i'm now beginning to get anxious for this pregnancy to be over. Yes, i know, i'm not even half-way through yet, even so.
The anti-nausea meds i initially was prescribed have been working better and i was prescribed a different brand that works better, letting me eat daily. Yay! I am still down 15 lbs and maintaining that nicely which i'm happy about. You know the second trimester "boost of energy" and symptom relief everyone talks about? Lies all lies! Okay, so i do have less nausea, however the exhaustion has tripled if that is even possible. if i'm able to, i sleep the day away. So irresponsible, i know. But i only let myself do that if my homework and anything else i need to do is done. i am just so tired all the time.
Something else that is fairly new is that whenever i eat something (or drink also), my mouth gets terribly dry. So as has been typical this entire pregnancy so far, i'm drinking loads of water. Oh, and the headaches! How could i almost forget? i've had more migraines than i care to think about, and a bad headache nearly every single day. My doctor said i must be dehydrated, however, if you've read the above sentences, you know that i could not possibly be. So i don't know. Lots of round ligament stretching and baby movement at night. i often feel him/her just swim around, not necessarily only kicking. Oh, and the boob growth? I'm up to 2 cup sizes larger already. Sigh. Milk glands are kicking in and they're starting to feel alive again. i found some great support-sports bras that i've been living in. i don't need that sort of discomfort in addition for several more months at least.

Also: i never really have any specific cravings when i'm pregnant. Maybe one or two once during the entire 9 months. The first one i had here was Gulab Jamun - an Indian dessert. Then, once i had it, i have never wanted it again.
Yesterday i bought about 9 chocolate bars of various types. I'm not a 'sweets' person due to my obsession with skin quality and weight of course, but now it seems like my body is craving them.....

I can attest to the tiredness, but I have to give you Kudos, you still get the homework done and are there for the boys as well. I never realized pregnancy was so rough, I really appreciate what women go through now, and I love how hard yuo work to keep all the bases covered. You are such a mom, I just hope that I can show yu how much you and your efforts mean to me.
I really wish this had a spell checker.. you? yu? Man I need to proofread...
