I love the 2nd trimester! The blah's, nausea, fatigue, and even vomiting seem like such a distant memory. I have hit my SUPER energy phase during the perfect season: Christmas! I had the tree and house decorated, shopping done, gifts wrapped, and candy made by December 1oth! Can you believe it?
The baby bump is definitely showing... I got my first cautiously asked "are you pregnant?" last week. It's good to know that I look pregnant and not just a little bit fat! Luckily, the baby bump is isolated to my belly right now. No water retention or swelling (yet). :) I do have lots of heartburn! I've never had heartburn and at first I thought I was getting strep throat! I love TUMS! Any suggestions on how to handle heartburn are very, very welcome!
Last weekend Jay finished painting the nursery and he did such a good job. I decided that I wanted to have horizontal stripes and it was a beast! It took us about 6 hours to tape the room off, but it was well worth it. I'll post pics later!

Cade has horizontal stripes, too! But we found it so frustrating that he actually just has a horizontal stripe accent wall:) Taping that is a pain!
Yahoo! I am so glad you are on here now! Another blogging buddy to add to my list. I am so happy for you guys and everything you are about to experience! Boys are so fun too! I know you all are glad to have another in the family so they will be best friends! By the way the horizontal stripes look fantastic! I like Kelly wanted them too, but we settled on one because Brad WOULDNT do any more! As for the heartburn, sorry no remedies that I know of except LOTS OF TUMS day and night! Your baby must have hair if Connor is any example of that. I had never experience this either until pregnancy. It stinks!! By the way I hear you look great! Take care and get your rest NOW!

I had really bad heartburn too. The tums never helped me, so I had to resort to a Pepcid AC everyday, my doctor said it was fine...so you might want to try that! I feel for you, that is so miserable!
Eli's nursery is sooooo cute. I love the colors you are using. We can't wait to meet him.
Lots of love
