14 Weeks - Second Trimester!

Good Morning-
We've made it officially into the second trimester - the so-called honeymoon phase of the pregnancy. Things are going well. Nausea has abated, but I still can only eat what sounds good, and that isn't much. Last week it was cottage cheese of all things. And being someone who is usually starving for dinner, now I'm more of a lunch person and a few bites at dinner is all I can stomach. Whatever, I'm not exactly wasting away :) Insomnia is creeping in. Approximately every other night I wake up at 2am and that's it, I'm up. Great for when I'm doing night shift, but it's becoming a real drag the rest of the time. Hopefully this will abate as well.

On a less complaining note, I found a midwife. Linds and Jen - good salesmanship! Learned that they keep a couple midwives locked away at the Kaiser San Jose that is actually closer to our house than the one I work at. Also, working in the OB dept at my Kaiser, Santa Clara, I just see way too many things that make me nervous and have heard nothing but good things about this other Kaiser's dept. So, I have my first appointment with Roseanna on Sept 23rd. At K-San Jose, midwives manage all the normal labors and have a very active roll in coaching you through the whole process. Perfect!

Heading off to the gym to try and stay as active as possible. Still hitting the ball about once a week - as that's all my schedule permits, but my work life looks much better in September.
Will post again next week. Lots of love-
SJ
