2nd Trimester:

Typically, people love the second trimester, but for some reason this is the time I get intense migraines, and I personally think it’s coming down from the hormones from the injections and my body adjusting. The subchorionic hematoma absorbed and we were so happy to receive that good news. We knew this baby was a fighter from the beginning. The headaches went away about halfway through second trimester. I found myself eating a ton from a wide range of different things, I would say there was no set craving throughout, but intense cravings each day for something different.  This baby loved to eat. I did a lot during second trimester once I was cleared of restrictions: I took my son to a lot of places over the summer to keep him busy as we love to do fun activities together. I stayed as active as I could during this time. Melissa and I spent a lot of time together, especially since the second trimester was during the summer months. We took my son on a trip to Mystic Connecticut on the 4th of July, which was such a fun time together. We went to the aquarium, shopping, swimming, and a nice dinner on the water, which my son loved as they had live music that evening. My son enjoys spending time with Melissa and loves when she comes over. She has never missed a birthday party, always includes him in plans, and truly loves and cares for him. We couldn’t wait to add her baby boy into the mix of plans and trips. During second trimester she told me his name would be Ryan. Each month was spent more excited about the next month to come.
