My Favorite Time of Pregnancy

I am currently 25 weeks and 1 day pregnant. Just 104 days to go. GAH. I think this is actually my favorite time of pregnancy - the bump is big enough that there's no mistaking that I'm pregnant but it's not yet too heavy, and the baby is kicking well enough that you can feel it with your hand over the stomach but it does not hurt. Just reveling in this feeling right now, my yayas are leaving in a couple of days without any replacement yet. So help me God.

Dear Baby No. 2

Hi, baby. Right off the bat, this is an apology. I'm sorry I do not have a nice nickname for you yet. We used to call your older brother "balong" because we really wanted a boy. I should come up with one soon.

I'm sorry also that I'm not as OC as when I was first pregnant. I then kept a baby journal with Instax photos. While we still took weekly photos of my bump, I was not as diligent in documenting my pregnancy. So I really took the time this long week-end to update my baby journal. It's just that I am so tired in this pregnancy, it's not your fault though. Mommy is OLD.

Yesterday was supposed to be our check-up but the OB was suddenly on leave. I was pissed off that her secretary did not even text me. Or it was my fault that I did not check beforehand.

I hope you never ever think that I love you any less. I just had a lot more time and more energy during my first pregnancy. I don't know how it can be done but I will love you and Manong P equally.

Second Trimester

Today is the start of the second trimester and I'm looking forward to less nausea and more energy. Of course, I still threw up a bit of my breakfast today. Groan. I also wore a dress to work but it still looks like I just had a big meal haha. Excited to sport a bump and take advantage of preggy privileges, muwahaha!
