Second trimester

I read an article this week about the beauties of the second trimester!! I think the author was out to get me! Reason #1 the second trimester is amazing according to her is no nausea!! If we are speaking in person about my nausea I smile and laugh about the fact that I still throw up at least 2-3 times a day! I really find no humor in this concept and think
Really nasty thoughts when people tell me they haven't thrown up once their whole pregnancy!! Reason # 2 according to her is beautiful skin! Maybe my body missed this memo because I have so many zits on my face I think I hit puberty again! #3 the return of energy! I guess she's counting barely being able to get out of bed as energy return! I'm still tired at 10:30am even if I got out of bed at 9!! And #4 apparently most people don't have to pee as much during these weeks! I have decided that their babies have decided to move up their abdomen a little and not use their bladders as a punching bag! Mine on the otherhand thinks my bladder is the perfect play thing! Now that I've complained for ten minutes I heard an analogy this week that works for me most days! This pregnancy for me is feeling like a price of chocolate cake that is not very good! It's hard and burnt but regardless it's still chocolate cake and always delicious! Thats how I feel this pregnancy has been so hard for me! My body feels like it's been taken over by aliens but in the end I'm still pregnant and that's amazing regardless of my circumstances!! I am thrilled to be carrying another baby! I just wish I could get some relief!
On good news though I had an ultrasound on Monday and baby looks good! Apparently my spotting is nothing! I am having some pretty intense pain that I'm going to talk to the dr about on august 8 but I think it's just round ligament pain! Other than that I am eager to know if it's a boy or girl and at this Monday ultrasound he/she wouldn't open it's legs! And my nausea has calmed a little and I have a new aid to help! Peppermint oil has saved my life!!
