May 20th 14 weeks

So I am in my 2nd trimester!!! Thank goodness! Sorry I haven't been updating recently... we finally moved into our new place. We are renting a brand new apartment in a neighborhood called Sacoma. We live right across the street from a supermarket, home store, churrascaria and the metro. We are on the 16th floor and have a wonderful view of southern Sao Paulo. Although we are on the 16th floor we still have a noise problem. We are also across the street from a major highway and a bus terminal, and the windows dont seal, so we are trying to figure out what we can do! Right now we dont have cable, a fridge, oven or sofa, but we do have (a slow) internet connection. It is a small 2 bedroom apartment, with a large balcony (which we will use when the weather gets warmer...) We are excited to start our new life here.
I have been sick this last week. I got a stomach bug on Friday that must have knocked out my immune system, because by the time I recovered from that I came down with a head cold. I have been sneezing like crazy, which Leto thinks must be fun for the baby. I still have no appetite, but now i get a little weak if I dont eat once an hour. I am still waiting for the cravings, and pigging out to come. I do want to eat things, like fish and chips or Pizza Hut pizza, but then if i think about it for too long i start to become disgusted by the thought of eating it... The baby has also decided that it doesnt like grape juice. Which is not good for me, because i love grape juice, and now it limits even more what I can drink.
I am starting to get a little bigger in the belly, but my arms and legs are getting smaller. I have no idea how much I weigh (i havent weighed myself in over 10 years...). We need to buy a scale and keep track of my weight gain. One thing I am scared of is gaining too much weight, not because of vanity, but just because pregnant women dont need to gain sooooo much weight. It is easy not to over eat when I dont want to eat anything but we will see what the 2nd and 3rd trimester bring.
Lots of Love!
Kathy, Leto and Baby!
