Second Trimester BITCHES!

I'm 13 weeks.

Still feeling tired and though the insomnia is better, it's not gone completely. The nausea is gone, which is good. My tastebuds seem to be evening out, though I still don't particularly want/enjoy savory foods. I'm just glad that the sweet foods that I do want are primarily healthy for me. Lots of fruit, yogurt, English Muffins with jam, pancakes, cream cheese... things that I don't normally care all that much for.

My weight continues to hold steady at around 150. I told the ultrasound tech yesterday that this was the best weight loss plan ever. I weigh about the same as I did when I got pregnant, but the weight has shifted away from my legs and ass to my stomach and breasts. I'm hoping that post-baby it melts away as baby weight leaving me at a much more normal 120 or so. We'll see.

In addition to my food tastes changing, my tastes in books and television seems to have changed a little as well. I've never liked nature programs, but yesterday I spent $60 on BBC's "Planet Earth"... and I'm loving it. Same thing with books, I've never been much of a non-fiction reader, but I just seem to be devouring non-fiction books on all different sources. These are good changes as they make my reading/television watching more useful and educational but I do wonder how much of this change in tastes relates to the pregnancy, if at all.

Had my first ultrasound that looked like anything yesterday.

I almost cried when I saw the profile. I can't explain exactly what I'm feeling... it's not necessarily ownership... the only way I can put it is that it's weird that there's another person-like creature in there.
