Five great things about the second trimester

- No more nausea. It makes bus-riding, eating, and just getting up in the morning easier. And since your hunger has amped up, it’s nice to have different snack choices — and not be tormented by food aversions.
- Body acceptance. You actually look pregnant, instead of just bloated — and that’s a very good thing. You also realize that you’re small compared to how big you’ll be in the third trimster — so you really try to enjoy it!
- More comfy clothing. You no longer try to squeeze into clothes that are too small. You accept the fact that you are definitely — without a doubt — bigger, and embrace maternity clothes for their delicious stretchy comfort.
- Your energy returns. Spending the first trimester on the couch was fine and all, but it’s depressing to stare at piles of dirty dishes and laundry — and not be able to do anything about them. The return of your get-up-and-go is a great feeling.
- Nesting is awesome. I must say, our place has never looked better. My obsessive cleaning/organizing/throwing-out sprees have been so helpful. And looking at the finished products — pristine closets, labeled storage bins — is like taking one big shot of happy.
