Week 2 | 52 Week Self Portrait Project | Documenting Pregnancy with Baby Floyd

I’m almost feeling back to normal this week!

Almost.

  • My sleeping is restful.

  • I’m not sleeping as long as I was.

  • I wake up with my alarm and feel rested.

  • I’m not peeing 5 times a night.

  • I can finish more than 2 hours of physical work without feeling like I’m gonna pass out.

  • My cravings are subsiding.

  • I’m not wanting to eat the souls of all but like 5 people.

  • I’m not crying as easily.

  • I haven’t gagged in awhile.

  • I have a desire/drive to do things.


I almost feel like my pre-pregnant self.

Except that I can’t fit into my normal clothes.

And I did get awfully teary yesterday when Trey poked his head around the corner. His face was just so beautiful in that moment that it made me kinda cry.

And there’s a tiny human being inside of me that I can feel moving around constantly.

So while I’m feeling normal and sometimes forget that I’m pregnant, things are definitely *not* normal.


This all could just be a short term thing. In two days, I could be back to psycho, or some other symptom of growing a human.

But for now, it feels like I’m actually getting that 2nd Trimester easiness.
I’m gonna enjoy this time and get as much shit done as I can while I have the energy!
