Second trimester observations

1. Given how much eating and snacking I do, I'm starting to wonder if I'm pregnant or a hobbit. Breakfast is cereal, second breakfast is crackers and cheese, lunch is huge, tea time is more crackers and fruit, supper is also huge and then there's dessert.

2. As for my belly, now that people know, I've gotten one poke in the tummy to see if that was the baby. Nope. The belly is all me. But I still keep rubbing it and holding it as if it was the baby, and not me. As I showered this morning, I wondered if the wee one could hear the water, like the sound of rain on rooftops.

3. My boobs are changing -- they're not bigger, but they're denser and (TMI ALERT!) my nipples are getting huge. I've never really seen them as a sexual thing, but now, I'm really starting to see them more as a milk machine. When I see footage of a dog with a litter of puppies suckling, I can't help but notice how tired the mama looks. I have a sinking feeling that's what I'm going to look like when Troggie shows up.
