Second Trimester!!

Hooray!! I've made it to the second trimester!! That's right, 14 weeks tomorrow. I'm so relieved to be out of the first trimester -- let me tell you, it sucks. But it is getting way better. I'm not barfing any more really at all and all the other symptoms I have (tired, easily out of breath) are very manageable -- so hopefully I'll start to enjoy being pregnant.

David's parents brought us our first bit of baby furniture -- a changing table. It is very nice and I'm excited to start decorating and preparing for baby. Wow, we're 1/3 of the way there... weird. Anyhow, while Kay and Jim were here they installed some shelves in the garage -- I haven't seen them yet, but they sound useful.

As for a belly (no. 1 question), I have one some days that is totally noticable I think, but other days (like today), I can barely tell a difference (I'm in my pre-preggo jeans and they are buttoned all the way up and not tight). I think that I'm getting one though. I'm guessing that by Christmas I'll look different to the people who know me, but not to those who don't.

In other news, I'm getting excited for Christmas. We have about 1/3 of our shopping done I think, but we know what we are giving everyone... well, the few people we are giving gifts to. We've basically just decided to do Christmas letters for most people and gifts only for family -- which is nice because it's easier to draw a line. I think we might make chex mix for our offices and stuff like that, but nothing big. Every year I feel more and more like giving small gifts that are thought out. I hate going to the store buying just anything because I feel like I have to get someone a present. Anyhow, I think either this weekend or next we are going to put up our Christmas decorations which will be fun.

Work has been really busy with no end in sight so I'm not able to post as often as I'd like, but I'll do what I can. Hope everyone is happy and healthy!
