People were right when they reassured me that pregnancy would get easier. The first trimester was pretty brutal but part way into the second it started to get better. Around 17 weeks I started feeling pretty good (anti-depressants have been an important part of that too). I have my appetite back, I can enjoy my food again, and that makes a big difference to my mood. I don\u2019t feel sick anymore. I\u2019m still tired a lot and sleeping a great deal but I have the time to do that and I give myself a pass because growing a human is hard work.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m beginning to get a belly which mostly delights me. I like looking pregnant at last. I can feel him moving and it\u2019s the strangest sensation I\u2019ve ever had. It\u2019s all fluttery like butterflies in your stomach.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so hard to wait to hold him in my arms but he\u2019s got about four and half more months of cooking to do!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
