It's official... I'm in the second trimester. I've been here for a few hours now and have yet to experience the "energy burst" everyone keeps telling me about... but, I also have yet to get out of bed.
I am determined to get back to working out regularly. While I never called in sick or took a day off during my first trimester, I did have some significant fatigue at the end of the day. Most often, this lack of energy meant I sacrificed a trip to the gym. I do NOT want to go into the "biggest cardio-vascular event of my life" (to quote the irrepressibly stupid, Gisele Bundchen about birth) without some preparation. We went to the Y yesterday (I rearranged my work schedule so that I got off a little early and went before my level of energy plummeted through the ground). I felt so good after the workout. However, I did not get anything done for work that I planned later in the evening.
I've also slept through the night for the past 2 nights. I am hoping that trend continues. I wake up before my alarm still, but I'm fine with that as long as I get 6.5 hours or so in a row.
I am now going to get out of bed. I am going to eat breakfast, do some documentation, and think positively about the day. I am going to wait for the energy burst to descend on me like tongues of fire at Pentecost. And, I am going to hope that this trimester at least makes me look pregnant, instead of just fat.
These are my great expectations for my second trimester.
In the mean time, I will draw energy from the spiritual goodness that is the "Across the Universe" soundtrack... if it helps with workouts, I figure it helps with gestation....
