2/3 down, 1/3 to go: 2nd Trimester Recap


September 3, 2012

Seems like just yesterday I was posting a recap of the first trimester, now here we are again, wrapping up the second trimester and beginning the last portion of the pregnancy!  Everything I had read was true; the second trimester was MUCH better than the first.  No nausea, my appetite stabilized, and most importantly, my emotions and energy returned to a much more normal level.  Especially these past few weeks, I have felt so amazingly, both physically and emotionally.  I am hoping that this lasts, as I begin this final trimester.  I have been most astonished by how significantly my body has changed, and how Madelyn has grown over these past 13 weeks.  I cannot believe that in only 3 months we will be meeting our baby girl!  I can hardly wait!
Here is a little summary of the major moments of the 2nd trimester:

2nd Trimester recap:
  • June 14th- found out we're expecting a little girl, Madelyn Elise
  • June 16th- bought Madelyn's first piece of furniture for her nursery, her vintage dresser
  • June 23rd- thought I might be feeling Madelyn move
  • June 28th- felt Madelyn move for certain
  • July 4th-David felt Madelyn move for the first time
  • July 13th- received tons of hand-me-down goodies (and a few new goodies) from Nanna
  • July 17th- half-way through pregnancy
  • July 25th- revealed Madelyn's nursery
  • August 4th-received sundress for Madelyn from our friends
  • August 9th/12th- received more goodies from Nanna and Nana
  • August 22nd-received glider for Madelyn's nursery from Nanna, Pawpaw, Aunt Jennifer, Marissa Grace, and Nana
  • August 28th- received invitation for Madelyn's shower from Gigi

Some things I am anticipating the most for the last trimester:

  • Madelyn's shower
  • Finishing purchasing all of Madelyn's stuff
  • Finally meeting our precious daughter
