Pregnancy Memories

There are many details about being pregnant that I will surely forget so I wanted to capture some of the mundane parts here.
Food does not taste good to me at all. I would say the only craving I have might be ketchup. Most things need ketchup to be appealing to me. I am hungry for plain, heavy, white food - cereal, pasta, bread and the like all seem to draw my attention. I'm afraid eating nutrition-rich food is just not interesting to me. Thank goodness for vitamins!
I'm mostly belly right now and feel a waddle coming on! I'm only approaching 26 weeks so I've got several more weeks to perfect it!
My fingers are already too swollen to wear my rings - not something that happened this early the first time around.
I'm getting many new freckles and brown spots - which promises to increase as my sun exposure does too. Hopefully their brilliance will fade after delivery.
I feel really quite strong all morning until about 3pm each day when I have to cool it. Granted, this is pretty much my natural rhythm, but it seems accentuated right now.
My first trimester was much tougher this time around, but my second is similar to how I felt with Lucas.
Like most Mom's, the movement of baby in my belly is amazing. I love feeling the thumps and rolls - a constant reminder that all is as it should be.
