Week 22: Thursday, June 10, 2010

Weight: 138 pounds
Symptoms: the extreme fatigue is back (at least for today), cravings, all-over back pain
Mood: exhausted, happy
Reading: Baby 411

My disposition has improved a bit over the past few days. I no longer feel blue like I did last week. The baby has been making his presence known more than ever before (he's been highly active), so that probably has a lot to do with my lifted spirits.

As much as I am enjoying the second trimester, I sometimes wish I could fast-forward to October, when I can finally hold my son in my arms. Other times, though, I want to bask in this fabulous second-trimester glow for as long as possible--Joey loves the way I look, and honestly, so do I. But time will continue to move quickly, and autumn will be here before we know it. And then we'll be parents.
