2nd Trimester

Today marks the first day of my 2nd trimester @ 14 weeks. My morning sickness is definitely getting better. I'm not sure if it was the new prenatal vitamins or if it was just time for me to get better. It's been over a week since I threw up and even though I'm still nauseous at times, it's definitely better than before. I can handle the nausea as long as it does not come with vomiting. I feel like I'm starting to eat more, too. I don't really have the crazy "cravings" yet, but I'm sure once I do, I will start to blow up. Speaking of blowing up, two of my coworkers are shocked at how small I still am. I can definitely notice a growing rounder belly (as I can't even button my pants to the top anymore), but they think I should be bigger by now. I disagree because most of my friends say they didn't show until the 5th month. I went to the maternity store last weekend and made my first purchases of maternity clothes (a pair of slacks, jeans and a dress). Even though I was excited to buy them, I realized it's still too early to actually wear them. They've been sitting in my closet since and I have not worn them yet. I guess we'll just have to wait till my belly pops more. Right now, the rubber band is still my best friend. I will start to take pictures of my belly starting the 16th week and I'll post them on this blog.
