I’ve been resisting long enough, and in celebration of my entré into second trimesterhood (14 weeks on Monday!) I treated halfpence to his or her first clothing purchase. I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for a cute kids sale on Gilt and finally decided on some cute pairs of shoes and a cozy hat by Elephantito. They arrived in the mail yesterday and they are so cute and teeny tiny!
I’ve still been feeling tired and run-down, not to mention ridiculously forgetful. Friends, blog readers, even my parents, are lucky if they see any responses to emails. I am definitely getting a lot of “WTF where are you” notes dropping into my inbox.
Thankfully, this seems to be turning around. I’m still tired and forgetful, but I am feeling the draw of that second trimester heaven I keep hearing about. I’m having fantasies of shooting out of bed at 6am, remembering to pay my bills on time and keeping promises/plans.
Yesterday morning I fainted on light rail on my way to catch my train to work. I’ve never fainted before, so it certainly scared me, and it was a horrible feeling. I had taken my prenatal in the morning as I had forgotten it the night before. Big mistake on an empty stomach! Apparently the medium shrimp-sized halfpence is hungry. I have only gained a few pounds, but I have been eating a lot! I feel like I am developing a gut, not a tummy.
By next week, it seems that it will be peeing in my uterus. Lovely.

That is going to be one ridiculously well dressed halfpence
ohmigod, those teeny tiny shoes! So cute! Were your purchases gender neutral? And I can’t believe you fainted! How Victorian of you!
I know, right, bring me the smelling salts.
Yes, the look a bit masculine but I figure they will work for either sex!
Oh no! I’m so sorry you fainted, and on the train of all places! I’m a fainter (there’s absolutely nothing wrong with me – I just faint a lot), and it’s terrifying every time it happens. So no more skipping breakfast for you!
i’m going to give you the same lashing i got from my midwife after taking my prenatal (and 4 other pills) on an empty stomach and then hacking up stomach acid for 18 hours straight – IF YOU HAVE TIME TO TAKE THE PILL YOU HAVE TIME FOR A PIECE OF CHEESE, GLASS OF MILK, A HANDFUL OF NUTS, A SLICE OF BREAD, SOMETHING! ANYTHING!!
fainting must suck. the closest i’ve ever come was during panic attacks when i *thought* i was going to faint. alfalfa caplets might help if you find you’re a bit anemic.
Take care of yourself – when I was pregnant with the girls I kept snacks in all of my handbags, desk, etc. For emergencies! The baby shoes are so cute, I saw the new Fall collection while I was in NYC at the shows. So cute. You should check out Lili Gaufrette if you like Elephantito. So cute.
I’m so sorry that you fainted – that really is a scary feeling :( Those tiny little mocassins are a hoot!
