Excluding the last few weeks, my second trimester has been pretty great physically which was a shock and surprise because I didn't feel that in my first pregnancy. I felt really good for most of it!

Every year on Valentine's Day I buy myself a little something and gift something small to my girlfriends. This year I'm sending a few friends things I saw online that reminded me of them just to say I love you and miss you. One friend is getting this cheeky little ribbon, another got this pair of socks (not pictured), and I sent a pretty mug (also not pictured) to one more.
