I had a check up today; nothing exciting to report. My belly measured just right at 20cm and little Elsie's heart rate was in the high 140s. I gained a big 7.5lbs since the last check up, a little more than I would like but I am still right on track with 8.5lbs over all. Playing caught up I guess, since I gained little to nothing during my first trimester. Maybe some of that is muscle weight from the all the exercising I have been doing:-)
I relapsed a little with that head cold I had a few weeks back. I am feeling a bit congested again and waking up with a sore throat. I have been very exhausted the last few days and feeling the weariness of pregnancy already. My belly feels huge already, though 7.5lbs is a lot of weight to gain in 5 weeks; it is not surprising that I am feeling it. I have a long ways to go yet and I wish I wasn't feeling this negative this early. I am hoping that the trip to see my parents will help rejuvenate me a bit.
Busy day here to get ready to leave tomorrow. The girls and I fly out of Portland bright and early at 7am. That means we will be waking them up at 5am to get on the road by 5:15. I am glad to get to So Cal early in the day though. It should be a pretty relaxing day in Corona before heading up to the Smith casa on Wednesday. I can't wait to see my nieces!! We will be gone for 10 days. I may post from down south but no promises so until next time...
