I trusted Ricardo to take a few pics of me yesterday on my 16th week. Thankfully he was successful and they turned out really good. My belly is 39 inches around right now but thankfully that's the only place it is...well, that and in the chest. EEK! So, to recap, in the last 16 weeks, my waist has grown over 10 inches. WOW! The second trimester is a lot easier on the body in my opinion. I'm not hungry like I was at first and I'm able to eat normally aside from a few extra calories here and there and I feel great so my 5 day a week exercise routine is back in full force. I'm even able to mow the yard in record time. Yesterday Mel and I played Frisbee in the afternoon so needless to say I'm staying as active as possible. Admittedly, my patience and tolerance levels are getting less and less. They weren't that great before but now they're over the top short. I told Ricardo yesterday that he was warned well in advance that this could be a very bad side effect!!! hehe
