As promised, a photo of one of the Produce Murals, and of course the belleh. My, how it grows.
All continues to be well. Perhaps I’ve not made it clear enough, what with all the whining I’m known to do, but the second trimester is pretty great. I feel really good, actually. I don’t feel like the belly has taken over my body quite yet, but it’s definitley out there and obvious to strangers. Yes, sleeping sucks these days, and at times my hips hurt really badly, but basically, this is a fun time to be pregnant. I have a small but adequate supply of cute maternity clothes, and really, I can’t complain.
The wee sprout is moving around at an increasing rate, which is pretty freaking trippy. I’m sort of surprised pregnant women ever get anything done. I’ve been in the middle of a pretty technically tedious project at work, and it’s really weird to be concentrating on code while a tiny person kicks your guts and your shirt moves out of the corner of your eye.
Apparently this week It can open and close Its eyes and suck on Its fingers. Awww… I guess I should also be aware of It having the hiccups this week, too, but I haven’t noticed that yet.
In other baby related news, we had our wonderful and talented artiste friend paint a mural in the baby’s room and it is so BEAUTIFUL!! I’m so in love with it. SB put together the crib, too.
Yay!
Most awesome! And this is totally the best time of preggers … when you definitely show, but you’re not just a big “belleh” quite yet. Some ache and pain, but mostly “cute preggo gal”. Enjoy it while you can. Of course, before long you’ll be “cute momma”.
Jenny, that is beautiful! I can’t WAIT to see it in person. And you look hot, honey.
Hello Gorgeous! Seriously…what a stunning prego pic! And the mural is incredible. What artistic friend of yours did that? I’m curious…I love it – so unique!
Saw Zesty in person tonight … I can vouch that she is not Photoshopping her preggo hotness
Who did that mural, super lovely!
And Miss A got to see you? So jealous!
I also found that if the shirt was long enough, I could buy some non-maternity clothes that would work. Those are esp. nice after baby arrives. If they creep up (I have a long torso, everything is too short), a maternity tank or tee underneith does the trick.
Looking great, second trimester is wonderful. If you find a cure for good sleep, please share. I slept terrible pregnant.
You are THE most lovely, glowing, and proud mommy-to-be ever!! Good for you for totally enjoying and reveling in one of the most miraculous times in a woman’s life. We are sitting here admiring you and your pregnant self and we cannot gush enough at just how amazing you are.
Woo -hoo.
xoxo
Lovely. Perfect. Lovely.
The mural is great – what a lucky baby to wake up & have that to stimulate to every morning!

chickadee: You are so nice. And thanks for the compliments! As you can see from my nxt post, I wasn’t feeling it.
Rona: Isn’t it? I’m sorry to have missed you on Saturday!
Jill: That is a Megan(Sanders)Kappler original!
Jenny: Thanks for the tips! I’m doing okay with clothes, unless it’s cute going out clothes, apparently. It’s not as if I need many of those, though. And as for sleeping, yeah. It sucks.
Amy: HI, FRIEND! You are nice! Thank you. Apparently, I need it after this weekend.
dahli: I know, right? I’ve had my eye out for more art for the walls, but nothing seems worthy!
Holy crap! I took a little time away from blogging and got behind in blog reading, and you go and get knocked up! Congratulations, the room is gorgeous, you are lovely, and I have a lot of catch-up reading to do…..
