Im just about midway to the birth of my baby. I feel nervous and excited like the first time. I wish I could share my feelings at this halfway point with other moms who are just beginning their pregnancy. Its a mixed emotions of having another baby-- the delivery, holding and cuddling his/her fragile body into your arms, meeting of our eyes and bringing me into his/her innocent looks and cry. I just feel excited!
Im thinking of effective form of exercise during this pregnancy. I had swimming two days ago but I felt abdominal cramps afterward but I've heard that swimming is best for pregnant women. I'll try though to have a short walk as walking is safer I guess at this very moment. For a couple of days, I also had difficulty in breathing, sometimes I feel out of breath, that is probably because my growing baby is causing my internal organs to press against my lungs. When it happens, I lay down the bed or couch and slow down a bit until I catch my breath.
My baby now is probably 5 to 6.4 inches, and his/her movements is also big enough for me to be able to tell whether he/she's awake or asleep. Based on my experience, after a meal or snack, he/she'll jitter and flutter hard for few times like those who are awakened to eat after slumber. When the movements are most frequent, I'll call hubby or my daughter to touch my belly and feel how it moves. Its really fun to watch as they wait and anticipate to feel the baby's movement.
i can just imagine how excited denyse is with the coming of her li'l sis or bro. just a few more months, magiging "ate" na sya. =)
ReplyDeleteHi Irene! Yup Denyse is very excited with the coming of the baby. She can't wait she said. I bet she'll be a good sister to her bro or sis. She's really a nice kid and I can't wait to see them play together and how'd she reacts when the baby arrives. Im so excited! :) ~mela
