Second Trimester: September 24 - December 31, 2006

As soon as the second trimester hit, Mom didn't feel sick anymore. Plus, I decided that it was OK for her to eat meat again! And eat she did... I was so hungry most all of the time. Mom started to get a big belly, which actually made her happy, since she didn't look "just chunky" anymore. At 18 weeks, Mom started feeling me kick, which she seemed pretty excited about. Dad couldn't feel me until a few weeks later, but once he did, he said that I felt like a water balloon. We still kept going to our doctor's appointments, but Mom didn't get an ultrasound this trimester like most moms do. Since Mom and Dad didn't want to find out if I am a girl or a boy, the doctor said there was no need for a 20 week ultrasound.
