I'm not doing so well at keeping up am I?

What can I say, it's been an uneventful pregnancy, and I'm busy w/ the girls, so not alot of time to sit around contemplating baby LOL.

Our 2nd midwife appointment is Monday, I'm anxious to hear the heartbeat, have the girls hear the heartbeat, and find out exactly where my uterus is located at the moment LOL. I keep feeling twinges that MIGHT be baby movement, but some of them I KNOW are too high (so just stuff shifting around to make room for the uterus I guess?) and others, I'm just not sure, cuz I'm not sure how high my uterus currently is.

I suppose I ought to take a belly picture here sometime soon. Though really I don't think I look pregnant (just fat LOL) unless I pull my clothes tighter around my belly . . .

My energy levels are much higher than they were in the first trimester. I still get tired if I try to go ALL day w/o sitting down to rest, but I can do a good bit in a day w/o any trouble. Good thing, since my to do list for our upcoming trip is rather ummm . . .LONG still LOL. DH is taking the girls to his mom's on Sunday so I'm hoping to get alot done while they're gone.

My appetite has also really picked up. No idea how much weight I've gained (our scale needs a new battery), will find that out on Monday too. But I'm definitely eating more & feeling hungry more often. Which is a good thing, I don't like that, early in pregnancy, I have so little appetite, I know the baby needs nutrients, but I also believe it's important to "listen to my body" and it's telling me not to eat much . . . so I'm happier now that my brain AND my body are telling me I need to eat plenty of healthy foods LOL.
