Second Trimester

This week is the official beginning of the second trimester. I've told my coworkers and my friends over the last two weeks. My parents knew about 8 weeks in. Holding out until the 20th week seems to silly now. Everyone is supportive and happy. It is a good feeling.

Grandma doesn't know yet, but Mom has volunteered to tell her. Grandma's 94 and has been open to new ideas until the last five years when she began to value routine and tradition more highly. I've got my fingers crossed that it goes smoothly.

Now I'm looking around the house and thinking about what needs to be cleaned and organized in the next 6 months. That sounds like such a long time, but the last three months flew past.
