We are well into trimester 2 now. I feel pretty good and seem to have a bit more energy. Feeling tired does seem to be my biggest hurdle, though and I still need afternoon naps. I'm hoping in the next week or so I'll get that burst of energy I hear some women get in the second trimester.
I'm ready to get a belly. I feel like my clothes are just getting awkwardly tight and I still don't have that bump that identifies me as pregnant. Of course, I know that once it appears I'll quickly get sick of the maternity clothes, too.
The last week has been busy with finalizing everything for the sale of our house. We will be so relieved to have that monkey off our back! It closes next week and we're looking forward to only paying one mortgage and to possibly being able to afford to get a bbq--something we've sorely missed this summer.
This week we are bird sitting for a friend from school. That has been a fun and interesting experience. We like to see it as our little test for Juan to see how he handles it when something else has our attention--something fragile that we won't let him near! He's done fine and only whimpers a little when we talk to the bird in a 'Juan' voice.
We received a baby gift this week which was a treat. Some of our friends brought back the sweetest set of booties from China Town in San Francisco. They are unbelievably cute! Philip had never seen booties before and said he thought they just wore socks. We've begun collecting a few items we think we'll find useful when baby comes along. We pilfered an outside toy chest from school to put balls in on the patio. Our neighbors have started offering the toys and clothes their 4 and 5 year olds no longer need.
Tonight we're wishing Philip's mom a happy birthday before heading off to bed early again. A week from today we'll have news as to whether she can expect a granddaughter or grandson.
