Second Trimester

I made it.  I am past the dreaded first trimester and into the second.  I can honestly say that this time around wasn't as bad as the first two pregnancy first trimesters.  Got that? ha.  I was sick only for a short time, about 3 weeks, and still fit into my pants at 14 weeks with my third pregnancy.  I am quickly outgrowing them but oh well.  I am sticking out much more with this one but it sits high instead of low.

My hormones are settling down some.  Some being the key word.  I am much more positive about life again and things in general.  I was pretty low there for awhile.  I seem to be on the mend though!!  Praise God for that.

I look forward to this spring.  I used to think that winter was my favorite season but not anymore.  I love, LOVE, love me some spring.  Green colors come back into view, fresh herbs in my garden, fresh veggies as well, flowers bloom, my roses are gorgeous, and life just seems to take in a breath of FRESH air.  aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Tristan starts soccer soon.  He is Karate and seems to be doing extremely well.  He loves it and it is something all his own.  Aiden isn't doing it with him.  Aiden also won't be doing soccer.  He is still too young.  Julian and I are planning more get togethers with friends.  We plan on spending quality time together to strengthen our friendship, marriage, & bond.  I feel that no matter how awesome you think your relationship is, it can always be better.  I see more trips in this year.  Oh how I am looking forward to all this.

This second trimester brought back my energy as well.  I was so exhausted.  I didn't want to do anything. ANYTHING.  I stopped cooking, cleaning, running errands, working out!  You name it, I quit it.  But now I am excited to cook again, to clean again (okay, maybe not clean again but excited to have a clean house), garden again (depending on the heat and these darn mosquitos), and just be part of life again.

Life is good and I am super excited about this year and all the surprises it will bring!!
