6.5 Month Update!
So currently I am 6.5 months and 3 days (26 weeks and 3 days) into my wonderful pregnancy and I feel great (despite not sleeping through the night and having crazy weird dreams and nightmares)! I recently took my glucose and anemic screening tests and passed with flying colors! Baby Dragon Lily is kicking all over the place now, and she’s reached an inch or so above my belly button too! Speaking of belly button, it’s still there, hanging on like a champ! Hopefully it will last the next 2.5 months without popping out (fingers crossed!). Also, a couple days ago, I woke up in the middle of the night and had this excruciating pain all over my belly, sides, and back. It lasted for about a minute and so I emptied my bladder and tried to lay back down but every moment had such paralyzing paid that it was hard to do anything to make the myself feel better! I tried to explain this to my Dr. and she said I had my first contraction! However, contractions should be painful like THAT…so I still don’t know what happened, but I’m glad that hasn’t come back!
Other updates are that my belly measures 25cm, so I’m 1 cm low since I’m at 26 weeks right now. I have gained a total of 6 pounds, so 5 pounds since my last appointment a month ago! That’s progress! I noticed that my belly gets quite pointy, especially when I start to lay down, it’s a crazy phenomenon where I start to lay down and when I’m at the 45 degrees angle, you see a narrow point go down my belly, like an outline of the baby itself! Maybe I’ll take a video of it sometime…but maybe not because it’s quite strange to see… Overall, I’m as happy as can be and I really do look pregnant now! I love seeing my baby bump in the mirror and as it gets bigger, I get that much more happy. I can’t wait to meet you my little lily pad!!
Anyways, here’s my 6 month photo taken a couple weeks ago when I wad 24 weeks and 4 days! I wore pink since it was the week of Valentine’s day! She will always be my Valentine! I included our 1st child Luna in the photo too, she’s starting to get curious! =D
