Looking Back on the Second Trimester

Holy guacamole the second trimester really flew by.

In the interest of preserving the memory of weeks that seem to be slipping away, Zak and I are enjoying reflecting on photos and memories made in the last three months.

I can tell you I really wanted to enjoy the Alaska sunshine with a sweet summer child.

The cards dealt us an autumn baby, and truly I have been delighted to be moving through the second half of pregnancy in my favorite season.

In the second trimester, I've been lucky to keep up biking to work, daily walks and yoga twice a week with Jess.

Zak and I have also enjoyed longer bike rides around town on the weekends, including an amazing day when we rode 24 miles with the Hartman family along the coast. To sandwich the ride with great food on both ends of the ride made for an amazing day being pregnant.

As much as Sticky loves a bike ride and a yoga flow, staying active during pregnancy is definitely getting harder these days. We'll see how long we can keep up.

Second Trimester Symptoms

• Heartburn

• I smell really bad (I've been reassured by many that I don't but I really think I stink like a foot)

• Tingly toes
