It’s pretty hard to wrap my head around the fact that I am at the halfway point of my pregnancy. I remember reading that positive pregnancy test and how slow the first trimester crept by. Ever since then, I feel like I blinked and here I am: 20 weeks. Half way until I meet my very special someone that will change my life forever.

Although I’m feeling largely like myself again, I get frequent reminders that I am building another human being throughout the day. I still think I have the energy levels that I used to and I’m often grinded to a halt by sheer exhaustion (or just embarrassing panting spells) or have a hard time standing up (due to some killer tailbone pain). But my absolute favorite reminder is the little flutters, kicks and tumbles I feel in my growing belly. Luna is an active little girl and she often does gymnastics when I’m sitting down working or relaxing. It’s such an amazing experience and so unbelievable at times.

My hormones are definitely reeling and I feel like I’m suffering from Bipolar Disorder daily – often cycling through moods quickly, which can be pretty tough on some days. I try to remind myself that it is part of the process and not really something I should take to heart, but sometimes, my feelings are easily hurt and so is my morale. I try to keep things that make me very happy at the forefront of my life as much as possible, such as party planning for our baby shower or Geek Girl Brunch Miami, or blogging away. This helps combat my sometimes overwhelming icky feelings.

I’m looking forward to the next half of this journey, can’t wait for what it has in store for me, and am excited I get to share it all with all of you lovely people!
