It is so refreshing to be in the second trimester! I love everything that it brings. You aren't so big that you're uncomfortable yet and you usually can get some pretty decent sleep.
Despite Mara waking up a lot in the night I've been sleeping great. It is a little difficult to get comfortable but not horrible yet. I can already feel my abs weakening which I hate. I really have no excuses for the lack of exercise. I still find myself on my back a lot while sleeping. It's strange because it's a position I normally hate but has been the most comfortable for me as of late. I need to break the habit as I am getting to big for it to be safe.
I got to feel the first sweet flutters this week. It's a bit earlier than what I felt with Mara (I think) but I believe that's normal for the second one. Maybe I don't have an anterior placenta again and that's why I am feeling things sooner. After the first flutter I began noticing them more and more. Last night I got some serious (for this stage) true kicks. It was such a sweet moment as I was laying in bed cuddling with Mara.
The belly is still growing at a rapid rate. I hope at this point I just look pregnant and not chubby. I hate that stage in between. I'm looking forward to our flight out at the end of this week and thankful that I am feeling good for it!
For comparison 15 weeks with Mara!
