Hello 2nd trimester!

I have to say, it feels wonderful to be entering the second trimester. Here is what's going on this week. I find it slightly amusing that I had a nectarine as part of my breakfast this morning right after I looked at this. Anyways, it was delicious. :) I am really looking forward to some of my favorite fruits coming into season very soon. I know this must be hard to imagine in Winnipeg where the snow is still falling and blowing but the crocus' and tulips are out now and the air has warmth to it, albeit with some misty rain to accompany it. Hey, you can't have everything. The possibilities for rainbows is high this time of year as the rain starts to let up in quantity and most days it's rainy for only a portion of the day.

My Dad is coming to visit in just over a week. I'm really excited about that. I can't wait to show him our awesome city. I'm also looking forward to the days off. I work a full week this week and then Monday and Tuesday of next week and then he arrives Tuesday night. He's just in time for the cherry blossom lined street to burst open. I can already see the pink hue and if it stays warm this week I imagine they'll be lovely once he's here. It will be a welcome change for him, I'm sure.

Our midwife appointment is on Tuesday morning. I'm so excited to hear the heartbeat. I  hope everything will go as smoothly as I hope. We never got a call back once I gave those seven viles of blood, so hopefully everything came back normal.

I'm starting to feel less tired so I think I can probably go back to the gym very soon. I have been SO tired but this weekend hasn't been as bad. I have a feeling I won't be doing the 50 minutes of cardio any more. If it turns out that I'm only able to do about half an hour then I'll probably skip going to the Y and just hit up the gym down the street where Matt and his family can work out. It's for med students. It's just closer and more convenient. If I'm only working out for half an hour, it's not worth it to bus down to the Y. More travel time than work out.

Anyways, I'm going to head out. I need to buy another body pillow since Festivus stole mine. I'm allowing it because it means she doesn't try to sleep on the pillow where my head is anymore, hehe.
