Let the honeymoon begin

The second trimester is commonly known as the honeymoon phase.  I am not 13+5 weeks.  Officially in my second trimester and I will admit the symptoms are decreasing.  Some are almost basically gone.  My all day sickness has been reduced to nothing or slight queasiness.  I have my energy back and feel more like my self.  My skin is even clearing up.  I am still constipated, but it is not as severe.  My breast are still sore but again not as severe. 

My stomach is growing.  But really I just feel fat.  I gained 8 pounds in the first trimester.  5 pounds is the recommended max.  So I don't feel so bad sense it is only 3 pounds over. Plus  I attribute that to basically only being able to eat carbs and not having the energy to workout.  I have sense got back to healthier eating choices and working out.

I am shopping for transition clothes.  So basically that includes maxi dresses, long shirts, cardigans, and yoga pants.  Overall I am feeling pretty good and starting to enjoy pregnancy.  Plus my worrying has all but decreased.  I mean I still have moments.  But they are much less.  I attribute this 100% to me just letting go and having faith in God.
