The 2nd Trimester
We kicked off the second trimester with a virtual gender reveal on November 22, 2020. Thanks to Anna, Keeper of the Gender, we were totally surprised. I had said boy all along, but Dan was convinced it was a girl and almost had me convinced as well. Unfortunately, this trimester didn't see a huge improvement in morning sickness for quite a while. At the end of the post, you will see how inconsistent I was with bumpdate photos - this was because of the sickness. I never felt like getting dressed or doing my hair/makeup, so the bumpdates didn't always happen. It did get more manageable and I slowed down on getting sick, but it didn't really go away until after Christmas, around 18 weeks. This is when my nesting phase kicked in. I was ready to organize the whole house, get rid of things, and start getting the baby's room ready. We really didn't start working on the nursery until after the 20 week appointment and ultrasound. Again, I was afraid of doing anything too e
