Hurrah for 2nd Trimester Bliss!

Now, THIS is the time tha I believe mothers choose to remember as their "wonderful pregnancy bliss." Nausea is all but gone, energy is back, and most important, appetite is back. I truly believe that most mothers forget (whether a sub-conscious or conscious decision remains to be seen) about the crappiness that is the first coupla months of pregnancy. This blog however, will not let me do that. Although, I doubt that two crappy months will prevent me from wanting more children, hehe. At least next time, I'll be prepared and KNOW that it won't last for my entire lifetime like it felt just a month ago.

I really like being pregnant. Hehe. I can't wait for my tummy to get bigger. I have a bump, and I know I've gained enough weight to force me out of my last large pair of jeans. I'm now wearing only jogging pants and my one maternity skirt for Sunday mass. I don't think I'm eating more at each meal but I am snacking at least three times a day now. I eat breakfast at home before work, then around 8:30 when I usually have a prep, I'll have a yogurt, mini bagel, or fruit. At 11am when my students are having their snacks, I'll usually have a cereal and milk (curiously, I eat them separately, I have no idea why - I just have no urge to eat a proper cereal with milk. Hmm.) I'll eat lunch at 1:30 and then snack again when I get home at 3:30. That last snack is usually more varied. Sometimes I'll have an ice cream sandwich. Sometimes its a fruit (peach or apples usually) with cottage cheese. Or (which lately I haven't) toasted chocolate rugalech with a cold glass of milk.

Ok, gotta go. More mindless pregnancy thoughts (that may be completely irrevalent to you at this moment, but will be useful to you in the future, I'm sure) to come.

Coz I know: I read these blogs religiously now:

Dooce
Superhero
Mighty Girl

(all normal women who happen to have children, hehe, i.e., not some wanna-be perfect moms, which is what I believe I will be - imperfect, i mean.)
