22 Weeks

Well, I'm definitely hoping to enjoy the last 2 weeks of my second trimester. The first trimester I was pretty much nauseous the whole time and so far the entire second trimester has been one nasty sinus infection/cold after another. A couple of weeks ago I came down with the flu (not the puking kind) and that really knocked me out for over a week. So...for the last 6 days, I have been feeling really good (keeping my fingers crossed!) I had back pain for about a week, but that too has subsided and I'm just enjoying all movement I've been feeling...I think I've got another active little boy growing inside me. Brian felt him kick for the first time yesterday and that was a cool moment. This little guy is sitting up much higher than I remember with Sam and I feel like my internal organs are now lodged under my ribcage. It makes sitting kind of uncomfortable and hard to breath at times, but overall things are going well right now. I even went outside and raked yesterday! The weather was beautiful and I was so anxious to get outside and do something. I looked like a total girl trying to rake...I pride myself on being able to do some serious yard work/landscaping on a normal basis, but yesterday I was just putsing (?) along barely moving the rake. It was just so wonderful to be outside!
