Week 26

I am approaching the end of the 2nd trimester and my pregnancy honeymoon (if the books are to be believed). The last three months have been really good = not feeling sick and wanting to throw up (although that did happen a few times), more energy and pretty much normal movement. However, in the last week or so I have noticed a few changes. My belly is definately bigger and noticable. That means I get more people asking how it's going, when I am due, etc. As well as a few "You're pregnant!" reactions, as at the party last Friday. It also means that getting vertical in the mornings requires a bit more effort and I can get out of breath tying my shoes. No stretch marks yet, but it definately feels like the skin is being constantly stretched. I find giving myself belly massages seems to help (hence the picture). It will be interesting to see what happens in the next few months.
