The second trimester

My second trimester seems to have given me much more energy. My first trimester I was dead to the world once 8pm hit. Now I have the opposite problem, I have trouble sleeping. The increased blood flow is making my heart pump faster and I have too much energy to sleep. I actually liked it when I was really tired at night because I have never gotten such a great nights sleep as I did then. It was a really good feeling to go to bed THAT tired. I figure since I am one of those people who has to get a FULL 8 hours of sleep so I am not cranky (just ask Eric), this is my bodies way of preparing me early for what is to come. I think I needed an earlier kick in the butt, instead of waiting till my third trimester to not sleep. Seriously, its not bad because even though I am awake at night sometimes I just think about Carson and I am just so darn happy!!!!

It is really cold and rainy today and Eric and I are headed to the beach later just for a couple nights and it looks like it might be rainy there too, but at least it's the beach! Time to go get ready and pack a few things. Have a great weekend!

I had so much energy my second trimester... I was happy and giddy and hyper all of the time pretty much... so happy you are into your 2nd trimester, that means you are that much closer to meeting Carson! :)
