I am now 6.5 months pregnant (or 26 weeks) and am feeling great physically.  In the midst of my second trimester, I don’t feel nauseated as much and I’m actually sleeping fairly comfortably.  The belly does pose a few obstacles, however.  Who knew tying your shoes would be such a hassle?  I’ve resorted to sandals and slip-ons as often as I can.  And I think I’m starting to waddle.  Ahhhh!  I told myself I wouldn’t do it and it’s already happening!  I just think it’s one of those things that just comes with being pregnant.  I must admit that the hardest part of being pregnant is not being able to do all those active things I claim to do when I’m not pregnant–play sports, rock climb, etc.  It’s funny how much you want to do things when you can’t and how often I don’t when I can.  I mean, I would do anything if I could just sprint a mile…and I hate to run!  But with all these little frustrations comes the peace of feeling our little boy kick inside me.  I know this pregnancy is what I am supposed to be doing and I can put aside all my selfish desires for a few more months (or maybe forever?).
