I made it to the 2nd trimester! My morning sickness hasn’t gone away yet though. I had trouble getting my Zofran RX filled at the pharmacy this week, so I went about 1. 5 days without it (Tues-Wed.) I figured I would get the RX filled, but see if I could go without it. But, suprise surprise… the m/s is not gone yet! I was generally fine on Tuesday, but I was hugging the toilet from the minute I rolled out of bed yesterday morning up until early afternoon when I picked up the RX. Today I feel much better, thank God!

Last weekend, Hal took me to the mall and I bought my first pair of maternity jeans! I also got a couple of these belly bands (that look like tube tops) to wear over the waist of your pants. They should help a little more wear out of my regular jeans (so you can unbutton them and nobody knows!) and help secure the maternity jeans which are a little to big right now. They also cover up the ever-attractive elastic!

Lately I’ve had a couple of fearful moments… usually when I’m drifting off to sleep at night. I’ll wake up in a panic, and I’m thinking “Oh my gosh, we’re having a BABY! Can we do this? Can we handle it? Will I be able to handle the labor?” Then I calm down and go right back to sleep. In the morning I remember it and it seems kind of silly, but at the moment it happens I do feel petrified!! Speaking of, I haven’t had any “baby dreams” yet (weird dreams, but no baby dreams.) Hal has had a couple… Most recently, he dreamt that we had a baby girl! I asked him if he saw the baby in the dream, but he didn’t.

We had a cold front blow in last night, so it feels wonderful out. I have the windows open; I love this time of year!

1 day till my 4-month check-up, 2 days till Hal’s Birthday, 13 days till Halloween, 17 days till our NY trip and 36 days till Thanksgiving! Lots to look forward to!

I will have Hal take a new belly shot of my in the next few days and post it!
