Mountain Climbing

One pregnancy symptom that I thought that my body was skipping was fatigue. So many people complain of extreme fatigue during their first trimester. I didn't have that and was very grateful. But, the fatigue has set in since I've begun the second trimester. I usually have trouble sleeping but I've been sleeping 12-14 hours some nights (except for the bathroom breaks) and still feel like I'm dragging. One pregnancy book states, "In some ways, your pregnant body is working harder even when you're resting than a non pregnant body is when mountain-climbing..."

I'm really starting to show now and have several requests for "preggo pics". I'm still pondering this one. I admit pregnant women seem really cute with their bellies, but that was only when it wasn't MY belly! I feel like a big fat cow and don't really care to show the world. It is exciting to see tangible proof that I do have a baby in my belly though. We were going to take pictures every week, but only did that once in the beginning of the pregnancy. I just haven't really felt like documenting the fat, you know? I do promise to consider though!
