spryng- Still having gastrointestinal distress. It's gotten better overall, but this is really dragging out. Called OB and the nurse said that a stomach bug is going around and to expect it to take a while to fully clear up. So, on the positive side, maybe I'm not lactose intolerant. On the negative side, it's been over a week. Fuuuuck.
- I am 19 weeks and next week I'll be 20 weeks and halfway and it's kind of blowing my mind. The fatigue and nausea tapered off by 14/15 weeks so I've been feeling pretty normal - save for this intestinal thing. Major things I've noticed in the second trimester, so far:
a) My anxiety has kicked back up, but still not as high as normal. But I am noticing that I'm worrying a lot more and being much more sensitive about other's emotions. This has been bad at work because my coworker/friend has had chronic high stress and freakouts and it's started freaking me out, too.
b) I feel like I popped around 17/18 weeks, so that if you know me, you would be able to tell I was pregnant. But now either the growth has stopped or I'm just used to having a bit of a belly because I've stopped noticing it as much. I imagine that will change in the coming months.
c) Our anatomy scan is still 2 weeks away and it's killing me. Even though I know it's possible we might not find out the sex then, I still just wanna know. And not even for any good reason - I just want to settle on a name and start calling Lady Jr by that.
d) The next few months are going to be hyper busy and I have stopped wishing for time to go faster because holy fuck. Also because I feel so much more normal now, not really wanting to hurry up towards the suckage that can be the third trimester.
- Writing is coming along much better these days, I'm just terrible at time management. I need to put aside time in the mornings and evenings but a) work starts at 7am now and it's hard to find the time beforehand, and b) this illness is kicking my butt and I am 100% done and exhausted when I get home.
- No news is no news on the agent front, still. Which puts more pressure on me to write something new, asap. Or get around to rewriting TIC like she would like me to. Uuuuugh. I'm going to work on finishing this new thing first, which is kind of an experiment anyway. Yay YA?
- Aaand that's about it. I'll do a DITL again soon I swear. <3

Date: 2016-05-20 03:39 am (UTC)I felt the same way about the scan. I just wanted it done so we could pick a freaking name. I mean, I'm all for not pushing gender roles, but still, you just, can't pick a name until you get the results from the scan?
I just wanted it settled.
We had a name picked out within about 2 weeks for both boys of confirming they were boys.
