Second Trimester: Weeks 17 and 18

Sheesh... this has been a very busy week. It was my first week back to work and it literally exhausted me, so please pardon the tardiness of this post. I can't believe I'm almost halfway through my pregnancy! At this point, I have outgrown most of my clothes (bras included- yay!!!!) with the exception of tank tops, maxi skirts and a few dresses. So next month will be all about finding cute maternity pieces. Baby boy has been moving around quite often, from body rolls to pokes to balling up in a knot and often laying on things that make mommy uncomfortable. Today makes 19 weeks & 4 days but here are my symptoms from weeks 17 and 18...

* indigestion... this was the absolute WORST and hit hard during week 18

* frequent urination... this little boy loves to lay low and would constantly be on my bladder

* emotional... these doggone hormones, I swear! I found myself crying over situations that normally wouldn't bother me. Sheesh!

* stuffy nose

* swollen feet... this only happened once (so far) but I noticed it after being on my feet for about 10 min. I was totally channeling Fred Flintstone (not cute)!

* sore boobs... yes, this is still a symptom but I assume it's because I am still growing (again, yay!!!! lol). It's not major pain like during the first trimester but they are definitely still sore to lay on or when people hug me (ouch).

Please be patient with me as I transition back to work... I have literally been worn out every evening when I get home. But I will get back on schedule ASAP. =)
