Pregnancy: 2nd Trimester

"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Psalm 139:14

First Off:

#1 I'm NOT pregnant. LOL

#2 I loved being pregnant!

#3 I personally know over ten-fifteen pregnant women. No joke!
***This post is for you!***

#4 If you are not pregnant, share this with a friend who is. :)

Second Trimester (Overview):

It begins at 14 weeks and ends at 27 weeks. Around 20 weeks, you'll get the detailed ultrasound of the baby. This is when you can find out the gender. We didn't do that for our first two, but did it for the third! :D Symptoms that typically go away are: being nauseated and needing to go the bathroom all the time! Best part: You can breathe and relax during this trimester. :D

Helpful Tips:

Enjoy this trimester: why? First, you are probably no longer feel miserable from the nausea. Second you get to share the good news! :D 

You also get to show off that cute baby belly! YEAH! Pregnant mommas are so adorable. :) Find some cute maternity outfits and enjoy being a momma-to-be. :) 

It is a great time to do a registry, have a baby shower, to go shopping and set up a nursery. Pick a theme. Personally, I'd be careful not to have a super girlie or boyish one. (We have a jungle theme for our girls)

Drink lots of water and eating healthy. Take relaxing bubble baths, using Epsom salts with essential oils. Read books about delivery and about motherhood. Pray for your baby, for yourself, and for your relationship with hubby. :D

Another reason to enjoy this trimester is that you could have the baby early. I had my third one at 30 weeks!! So enjoy this season of being pregnant. It's a special time bonding time with your child. :)

How to Pray:

Pray for wisdom on how to eat and continued strength for momma. Pray for baby's health. That is the most important thing! Pray for dad. He will need discernment on being a dad and a provider. Pray preparing for labor/delivery and being new parents. Pray for siblings to adjust well to the newborn.

My love to you:

Hope this helps you as you journey through the pregnancy! To all my pregnant ladies, I'm praying for you and your little one! LOVE you! :)
