Over the past two weeks things have definitely improved. I feel SO much better. I wouldn't say I feel the same as I did before I was pregnant, but I'm sure that won't happen until a few months after the baby arrives :). I'm generally not nauseous anymore, though every once in awhile, if it's been too long since I've eaten, I'll start to feel yucky. And unfortunately, because of the months when I was sick and had to eat all the time, I'm positive my stomach has grown so I feel like I'm hungrier more often than normal.I think I mentioned last time that I've already gained 10 pounds. I haven't gained anymore in the past two weeks which is a good thing :). I have also committed to exercising 6 days a week, an hour each day. So far I'm five out of six days, and the one day I didn't get my hour in, I was able to do half hour but that day was just crazy busy with volunteering at school and babysitting and getting food ready for a talent show that evening for our ward. I didn't even get to my exercise until all the kids were in bed, probably around 9pm. It is so much harder for me to exercise at night than in the morning; at night my body is exhausted, and when I'm pregnant, that just intensifies and for some reason my knee started bothering me a little too; but I'm sure it was because my body was tired from all the 'going' that day because it was fine again in the morning.
Other news in pregnancy is that I've recently taken out my maternity clothes and put away some of my clothes that are already too small. I'm still swimming in probably half of my maternity clothes, but there are quite a few pieces I can wear now and my normal, not pregnant shirts are just too short now to cover my growing belly. Overall I feel really good, I have my energy back, I'm drinking green smoothies regularly and not taking medications so I have less stomach pains because my body is not holding stuff(aka constipated), I'm able to do all I was before including staying on top of cleaning and cooking which we're all happy about. I can't wait until next month when we can find out the gender and start to feel baby kicking!
