Second Trimester, Finally

For the past couple days, I have felt less nauseated and had a bit more energy. I have been waiting for this! My belly has been growing a bit every day but it really popped out yesterday. My friend Emily has been taking pictures of my growing belly and as soon as she sends the ones she took at 9 weeks, I will post them here. We're taking 14 week photos this week. I don't have many from my first pregnancy, and none from the birth/first few days with me in them. We're not going to let that happen again!
A few nights ago, I felt the baby moving around. When I poke my tummy, the baby moves away. Since the baby is still low, my big belly isn't in the way when I lay down, so it's easy to feel the baby. I could feel the baby again last night. I hope that we can continue to spend a little time poking at each other each night after Aiden falls asleep. Speaking of which, it is that time again.
