Second Trimester!
We are now officially on our second trimester! We are 14 weeks today.
I swear that the size of my tummy looks like it's at least two-three weeks ahead but oh well. :)
I am feeling a lot more normal now and I definitely have more energy. I really feel though that I am allergic to changes in weather. It's been super rainy and so I have also been sneezing a lot but I have no colds (thankfully!) I think the appetite has definitely tapered off. I no longer feel as though I have to stuff myself at breakfast and I think I can now eat a normal-sized lunch or dinner. I know I can definitely still cut some portions out so will try to do this slowly. I have to remind myself that I never liked being overly full because it makes my stomach harder to manage. I am still eating my carbs but definitely no more sweets. I've realised that the bad taste in my mouth comes back really strong when I eat something sweet and I get acid attacks when I drink anything carbonated. I still really, really like sour-sweet sour drinks! So I like all the lemonades (John Lemon and Auntie Anne's are favorites) and have recently taken to dalandan drinks - but only if they are shakes or slushies :) Still building up my water intake but I am now definitely drinking more than in the beginning.
I still fit into almost all my clothes, yay! Been using a belly band and a belly belt to help extend the life of my bottoms. I tried looking for my favorite Topshop maternity jeans that I've had since being pregnant with Tala but now I can't find them!! :( I love them because the garters are at the side rather than those extendable bands over your tummy (I think they're too hot). I was able to find a pair in Mango online and they're getting delivered today so hopefully they're ok *cross fingers*
Looking forward to this month's doctor's appointment on Monday :)
