Symptoms continue to include a bit of fatigue (although MUCH better than the first trimester), swelling that is easily combated by staying over-hydrated, and just this past week, indigestion (full head of hair predictor?) ... oh yeah, and hormonal emotions that change in the blink or an eye (sorry to Mike for crying yesterday after getting off the phone with Ann Taylor and hearing that the charcoal maternity trousers I was trying to exchange are no longer in stock ... seriously though, those pants fit like a dream, why didn't I just sew that small hole in the inseam myself??). I've gotten to the point in the pregnancy where the new symptoms are just another sign that means my body is no longer mine ... not that I'm not enjoying every minute, just realizing that my body may never be truly mine again for a very long time ... if ever : )
We officially started on the nursery this weekend, having wainscoting and crown molding put up. Thanks to our wonderful parents and Santa we have most of our bedding set and I have a paint color picked out. We looked at cribs today (and found a winner!) and I have a dresser picked out; once we have those two pieces in-house we can finalize the rocker / glider selection ... I have one picked out, just need to make sure we have enough room in the small space. You know that I love a good project and have loved having a room to decorate from the ground up. Can't wait to share the transformation with everyone!

I was going to ask you how your shopping adventures went this weekend. We were up your way yesterday having brunch at Nada. If you haven't been, go this weekend! We love us some Nada!!
You look adorable! I love the emotional Ann Taylor story. I think I would have had the same reaction with or without extra hormones!
I LOVE Nada and go there at least once every other week for lunch or happy hour (they actually make a wonderful virgin mojito!!) and/or my boss knows I love their guac and chips and will bring it back for me if he has meetings around there. I have never been for brunch and will add it to our list of places to try - I love brunch!
And, had another meltdown this morning over clothing, again. These hormones are out of control!
You are so cute! Can't wait to see your nursery!

Isn't it great when your baby bump disguises over-eating bloat? You look great! Nice glow!
Jen, you are so cute! I cannot believe you're halfway there already! This is going by so fast!
