Journey with You

I took another belly photo last weekend and I compared it with the photo 3 weeks ago. The shape of my belly was about the same but it stuck out more this time. I am so happy. My baby is growing bigger and stronger everyday!!!

I’ve been wearing light weight long sleeve maternity clothes. I look pregnant in some and not in others. I guess some of them are baggier, so they can grow with me, thus makes it harder for people to tell whether I am pregnant or just fat. Anyway, I love how I look in those clothes!!

I am still quite irritable these days. I am still having sore hips while sleeping and I’ve just noticed the past few days that I started needing to go to the bathroom frequently during the night. Sometimes I also have bad backaches. I just don’t sleep as well as before.

Baby is very active and I can feel his kicks getting stronger. I can sometimes feel his kicks close to my bladder. I love feeling him moving!!!

Last Saturday I had my first uncomfortable contraction and it happened during our BD. It lasted for about half hour afterward and it stopped. It’s kind of scary. I should be careful with too intense of O. -_- That evening, I felt another Braxton Hicks contraction while we were on the way home from FIL’s. It’s not painful this time but I could feel it.

My next prenatal checkup is on Monday. Looking forward to hearing my baby boy’s heartbeat again. I am also hoping the doctor will measure my fundal height and let me know how big my baby is. People say doctors usually do this after 20 weeks. I am also going to have another u/s done for my cyst. Praying for a blessing on this too.
