So my 2nd trimester has come and gone. I should really write a post about how it had been. In fact, there are so many things I want to blog about but my energy level seems to have dipped again. This baby is getting BIG! I can tell the difference between baby belly and fat belly – obviously I started the pregnancy being fat so I already had padding there. The baby bit is hard and tight. It’s been super uncomfortable. Also, a few weeks ago, I started feeling weird buzzing and experiencing numbness in my hands. Turns out, I have pregnancy carpel tunnel. My grip has been weak and I keep dropping things. Feet and legs, also swollen. I’m trying my best not to live in comfy leggings, baggy tops, without make-up etc. One of the few frivolous things that makes me feel normal is dressing up.
Tonight we’re heading out to a potluck dinner party with a small group of Singaporeans (and some Indonesians) who live in Las Vegas. And this is what I’m wearing.
What I’m wearing today:
Dress: Black & grey half-sleeve plaid dress from GAP Maternity
Accessories: Blue & black striped Bronwyn bangle from Kate Spade; Blue acrylic chain mail necklace from eBay
Footwear: Gold bow-tie ballet flats from Old Navy
An Exercise In Trivial Pursuits 
Wow… pregnancy really does have some interesting potential side effects! Great dress though.
Pregnancy is really tough for me. The 1st trimester, I was in pain all the time and constantly being tested because they found anomalies in my blood work. So my inner elbows were always bruised from them drawing blood more than once a week. And I had the worst morning sickness that ran the last 6 months. At one point, I threw up so much that the bile scratched my throat and I was hoarse for weeks.
