they say the 2nd trimester is pure bliss. well, if it is, i welcome you 2nd trimester with open arms!!
i know its been quite some time since i last posted. let's just say, the cold that i caught turned into a very long month of coughs, sleepless nights, congestion, and the joy of always peeing at the most inconvenient times!! but i am finally gaining my energy back along with a very intense appetite! (please hide your sweets from me btw, i am always craving cookies and candy and cake and chocolate and more cookies!!).
today we had our monthly visit to the doctor. did we mention that we love our doctor. he is quick and straight to the point but is very open to questions and always answers them with a laugh or a joke. he takes away the nervousness that i tend to get when i walk into a doctors office. we got to hear the baby's heartbeat again today and it was just as delightful as the first time we heard it. it's just this overwhelming feeling to know that there is a life growing inside of you. we also learned that i have gained 1.5 pounds since our last visit. i swear the scale is broken though cause i feel like i've gained 10 pounds! haha.
this past weekend was truly a test of being pregnant. 20 girls made their way to vegas for my best friend rebecca's bachelorette party. we stayed at the swanky planet hollywood westgate towers in a very large suite. with my enhanced senses, all the martinis and sweet drinks surrounding me smelled so good!! my girlfriends were super sweet though, making me virgin shots to cheers with and a virgin bloody mary sunday morning was super tasty. i made it through the weekend with 2 nights of heels (thanks mom for those folding flats, those things fit perfectly in my clutch!!!), a short hour basking in the pool with my growing belly, a 1am trip to get gelato, and dancing the night away. it was definitely a weekend to remember!!
the countdown to november 1 is getting closer. we hope to find out what we are finding out that day at our ultrasound appt. with halloween almost here means that christmas is just around the corner and i can't wait!! (it is getting harder though to pass the candy aisle at target cause all those huge bags of candy just want to jump into my cart!!). stay tuned. i promise to attempt to blog everyweek.
xoxo,
genevieve
