12 Weeks

I am officially in the second trimester! The past two weeks have been far better than the several previous weeks. The first trimester was definitely not as rough as Cayle's first trimester but this one wasn't super fun either. I was nauseous a lot, tired a lot, and gave up my running/exercise regiment. :( However, I am feeling much better and slowly getting my energy back. I plan to ease back into walking/running and hopefully be able to do what I can for as long as I can during the pregnancy. 
I definitely eat...a lot. I craved fruit a lot with my first pregnancy. This time I have been craving waffles, sweets, and just food. Not any food though. A lot of foods I normally like turn my stomach. But I have still been able to eat a variety of fruits and veggies...which is good!
It has been challenging taking care of a toddler and being pregnant with no energy. There were some days where I would lay on the couch and dread getting up to do anything. But of course I had to. I am so glad those days are dwindling and I can be more active with Cayle. 
We should be finding out the gender of the baby in a few weeks. I can't wait!! We have some names picked out for a boy or girl. I can't wait to know what this baby will be called!
So glad to be in the second trimester and looking forward to having my energy back!
That is all for now!
