The second trimester has arrived in full force! Know how we can tell? Because, as of about 7 pm on Monday afternoon, Beth's energy is back. It's actually pretty incredible; the transition from completely worn out and napping multiple times per day to bouncing off the walls took about 15 minutes.
This has basically been the way of things for the entire pregnancy so far -- during the first few weeks, the cravings would shift instantly. Wednesday: jalapeno-stuffed olives and the most viciously vinegary potato chips I could get my hands on. Thursday: that's ridiculous, there must be SOUP! It was the same with the (fantastically brief) morning sickness. Everything was totally normal, then we went to see Star Trek, and suddenly Beth was nauseous for the next 2 weeks. (Normally, I would chalk that up to poor scriptwriting, but the movie was really good!)
So here we are in the middle months. In less than two months, we'll know if we'll be acquiring a sprout or a sproutina. Shortly thereafter, they say, s/he can start discerning voices (although, as mentioned earlier, we're already having some chats). Indeed, strange things are afoot at the Circle K.
