Holy moly I feel like time is flying! How is it that I am almost already to my third trimester?! I'm at 27 weeks and 3 days and in less than three months our baby will be here. CRAZY and so exciting! So how was it baking in the second trimester?
24 weeks on the left and 27 weeks on the right....as you can see, the belly is growing at a rapid rate now!
Not bad! Sure, I get sore a lot faster and bending over to get to my flour and sugar can be hard on the back (which is why I try to remember to tell myself to squat, not bend-I usually remember AFTER my back is already aching), but overall it has been great. I have been having some crazy busy weekends this past month....so every time I get through one of them I can't believe I was able to do it. Despite the soreness and being tired, I feel like growing this little baby has given me temporary super human powers. Last weekend I was able to take on almost 1700 cupcakes, 400 cookies and 5 cakes! I may still be catching up on sleep from this...but that's besides the point!
The beginning of the second trimester was great for energy, but now that I'm entering the third I'm definitely feel my eyes getting heavy a lot quicker and my body telling me to sit down after what seems like only a few hours. Even though I've been taking on a lot of orders, I know I will have to cut back in a month or two... and then things will get to the "order at your own risk stage." By this I mean I will be telling everyone when I get closer to my due date and warning people that while I will certainly fill your order, there is always the chance that it may not get completed if I by chance go into labor. So in other words...order at your own risk.
So consider yourself warned! Please, please, please make an effort to place orders with as much notice as possible. I'm terrible at saying no, but at this point I have to make myself say no because it's not always possible time wise or physically to add last minute things..
Fun facts:
-The first time my husband got to feel the baby move was on his birthday when I was 20 weeks along....talk about a great birthday present! He has since been kicked several times...including in the face when he tried putting his ear on my belly...baby doesn't like having things resting on him-that means no using my belly as arm rest for me..unless I want to get hit!
-Latest "craving": this one has been around for awhile now and hasn't really gone away....peanut butter and jelly. I wouldn't say it's a craving as in "gotta have it"....I just eat it a lot...and I use natural raspberry preserves which make it extra yummy!
-I've become clumsy. Tipping things over and dropping things is getting old mighty fast!
- We are putting finishing touches on the nursery and I go in there a lot just to use the rocking chair and read :)
Thanks for another week of orders and for making last week's open day such a success!
