Hello! I know I haven't written in a while. I've been too busy being pregnant. Not a really good excuse. :) Anyways, I am currently in my 28 gestation week. Just the beginning of the third trimester. So far, I'm feeling good. Baby bump is getting bigger and rounder. I was worried for a bit at the beginning of second trimester because I wasn't really showing at 20 + weeks, but oh boy, there's no complaining now. I do get a bit of heartburns every now and then but only when I had something spicy prior to it. So, I had to cut down on spicy food. There was a period of time where I got leg cramps a couple of nights in a week but it's been a while now since I had it. What else? Oh, one thing that I tried to avoid but to no avail are stretch marks. They made their debut sometime towards the end of my second trimester. I don't know what to feel about them. I definitely don't welcomed them with open arms but I wasn't devastated. In a way, I sort of expected them because so far, I have yet to escape from any expected symptoms for pregnancy i.e. nausea, leg cramps, breakouts, skin rashes (Perioral dermatitis) etc. So, when it appeared, I was like oh well, I just have to deal with it and hopefully from what I read, the stretch marks would lighten post pregnancy.
In terms of preparing for the baby's stuff, my friends from church threw me a baby shower two weeks ago. I'm just so blessed to have these really loving and supportive friends who showered me or should I say, Baby Tse with so many wonderful gifts. We received all kinds of stuff i.e. clothes, diapers, books, baby bath tubs, diaper bin, bibs, medical kit and more. So, yeah, we're just really thankful. We also got a baby cot which is attached to our bed for convenience. We did our research and read the pros and cons about having the baby sleep in our bedroom as opposed to sleeping in his own crib in another room and we decided to do the former. I'm sure different parents have different preference. But we'll see how this works for us. Oli just set up the shelves that comes with drawers and changing pad in the nursery and as I am typing this out, I'm doing my rounds of laundry for the baby clothes. I think they have a name for this. Nesting period? Where parents-to-be are in full swing mode preparing for the coming of the baby. So, yes, we are pretty excited.
So, that's it for now. Write soon. Maybe.
