Second Trimester!!

Today marks the start of my second trimester. Haha, and tomorrow marks my last day at work. Apparently I have Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (or just SPD for short) which basically means my pelvic bones have already separated in preparation for birth, something which doesn't usually happen until about your 9th month. It causes an enormous amount of pain and puts a lot of pressure on your entire pelvis. I can't sit or stand for more than 30 minutes without being in a lot of pain. Sitting 8 1/2 hours a day at work isn't an option, and even part time work is heavily restricted.

I'm also gonna be moving out of the apartment at the end of the month because the two flights of stairs are too much to handle. Basically, it already feels like I have 30 pounds of weight on my uterus and like I've been riding a horse for the past week straight. I can barely move, sit, or stand and my back clicks every time I take a step.

So.. ehh.. much sooner than I expected, but I'll be living with my mom by the start of April. Can't say I'm thrilled about it, but at the same time it'll be nice having someone there to help do the things I can't right now.

Sean's still working on getting his visa, but it looks like it'll be early-mid April before he's here. It also means he'll miss the 20 week dr. appointment and ultrasound. Kind of disappointing, but at the same time I'm pretty intent on not learning the sex of the baby, so it's way less exciting if he does have to miss it.

Haha man 2nd trimester. That's crazy.. This is supposed to be the good part now. My morning sickness should completely fade in a few more weeks. I'll have an appetite again and cravings. I should start to feel the baby kick anytime from about 16-20 weeks. Just.. ahhhh. All the exciting stuff starts to happen now. Man I can't wait. It feels more "real" every day.

It's stupid but like.. I have the urge to watch A Baby Story and cartoons and all????? Like.. I can't get enough baby stuff. Crazy to think in 6 months I'll be holding my child. Wow.
