Second Trimester Here I .Come!!

I am three days into my second trimester and very happy to be here. However, that doesn't mean I don't still question the fact that I'm actually pregnant multiple times a day. The days go by so slowly.

In terms of recent developments:
  • I'm still feeling like crap much of the time, but that's ok. I'm shoving less junk food into my mouth but still too much.
  • My pants are getting quite tight. I can't quite get up the nerve to go shopping for maternity clothes but I'll get there. I can see my "bump" and had my husband take a picture, but I don't think it really shows in the photo :(
  • My boobs are enormous! I knew that my 34C was too small so I went in today to get fitted for a new size. And, what was it? 34 DDD ....triple D's. holy crap!
  • We've shared our news with a bunch of friends and co-workers. It's been really amazing to finally be out in the open. It was especially touching to tell my friends who know about our struggles over the last 4 years. There were friends that screamed with excitement, friends that shed tears of joy, friends that got goosebumps, etc. It's all sort of surreal and unbelievable.
I've been thinking a lot about writing a post on my lingering frustrations with the uncertainty surrounding our IF. While we are now in a great place, there are still so many unanswered questions. So, hopefully I'll come up with something coherent before too long.

Finally, my heart aches for a few fellow bloggers who recently had miscarriages, and others that have been getting unwanted news during cycles, etc. I just want everyone to escape the hell of IF and loss...it's all so unfair.

  1. It's so interesting how if I just read ur post then I'm apt to be jealous and slightly bitter about your pregnancy and all the cool things about it. But then when I read your journey and all the years, pain, tears, ivfs and iuis you've gone through, my goodness, you're my hero!! You survived this Uber hard battle and won and now all I wish for you is to enjoy every day and every moment of this "victory". :) and some day I can share that sweet taste of success with you (hopefully soon?)

  9. I've been trying to conceive for over 2.5 years and it's sooooo shattering to hear that a friend or co-worker is pregnant (lump in throat, shallow breathing, panic - mini heart attack, basically), but when I hear that someone who has been struggling to conceive is, I'm super, truly happy - congratulations.
