23 weeks!
As I was baking a blueberry pie tonight I realized something.. I've baked seven.. yes.. SEVEN pies in my second trimester.. four strawberry and three blueberry. Only one of the pies was made with the intention of sharing with group of people. The other six were for me and whoever else wanted to eat it with me. Which happens to be Lee (I have heard NO complaints by the way), and my mom was in town for one of the blueberry pies. I try to make it a little healthier by cutting the sugar down and eating it with a blob of greek yogurt instead of whipped cream. Does that make it better? We'll just say, 'yes' :)
A few things have become more difficult in the past week or so. One of these things is shaving my legs. If you see furry patches.. cut me some slack.. I can't bend over very well anymore and can't really see much anyway. Oh well. Along the same lines. I can't clean my hair out of the drain in the shower very easily anymore. Maybe that's why God makes it so that pregnant ladies hair doesn't shed as much. He knew we wouldn't be able to clean the shower drain. Either that or Lee's been doing it. He's pretty good like that.
Also getting more difficult.. sleeping on my side. I'm a non-pregnant stomach/side sleeper so the transition to strictly side wasn't difficult.. however.. my left hip has been really sore lately! I googled ways to make it easier to sleep with sore hip muscles and came up with stack another pillow under my leg to keep it parallel with the mattress and kick my yoga up a notch. I also borrowed a hypnobabies CD from Nine Months and Beyond (where we're taking our class) called, 'Peaceful Sleep Now for Expectant Mothers'. The past few nights sleep have been AMAZING and I even slept until 9:15 this morning! That hasn't happened in a while. I've been so uncomfortable lately I get up every few hours and for good by 7:00 just to give my hip muscles a break.
A few silly complaints aside, everything has still been going really well. I'm healthy.. Gabriel's healthy.. Lee's healthy. We're all happy and even had an impromptu dance break during lunch today with Bob Marley 'Three Little Birds' on the radio. Which leads me to today's quote, "Don't worry about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright" well yes it is, Bob, yes it is :)

Ah, the second trimester. I have to say that I really enjoyed that one. Reading about yours makes me a miss it...a little bit. Ha.
Wish I lived closer so that I could sample some of your pies. (-;
Love you!

Mmm, send some of those pies to Tejas, okay? :)
Oh yes, side sleeping with a pillow. It all started when I was pregnant and now I can't sleep with one pillow anymore...even though my pregnancy days were YEARS ago.
You are getting your daily fruit allowance through the pies no doubt. I like the way you think!
