WEEK 27 PREGNANCY UPDATES

I am in 27 weeks now and things are getting harder. Only 13 weeks until the due date. We are getting closer and I couldn’t be more excited to see our little baby girl in December. I guess it’s time to get ready the nursery. We still have to pick the baby’s crib and buy dresser/changing table. So many things needed still but little by little.

27 WEEKS OF PREGNANCY UPDATE

September 22- 29

I have been sick this week and went sick leave for two days. My flu went bad and I just cannot go anywhere, so I needed to stay home and rest. Also, my legs are getting bigger and the varicose veins are painful. I get leg cramps sometimes at night when I am sleeping so I try to be careful with my feet and legs.

I still try my best to survive at work. I said not to go on sick leave but the last few days have been hard. I really need to stay home and rest. Feeling very sick and weak. However, I would like to work as much as I can until my maternity leave starts in November. It’s still a few weeks to go, but I know time goes by quickly so I really just have to be patient and wait. For now, we have to get things ready. Need to pick up the crib, buy dresser, bathtub, swing, etc. But first we see what we get from the baby shower and then we buy more things what we need.

HOW I FEEL AND PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS

EATING SWEETS

I’m starting to have a sweet tooth. I like to eat some sweets sometimes like cakes or cupcakes. But not always. But I guess it’s the beginning of rapid weight gain? I hope not. I am still trying to eat healthy though.

BABY STRONG KICKS

I must admit that those strong kicks feel amazing but also feels uncomfortable. I can see my belly moves when the baby moves. When Meu or Yanna hold my belly to feel the kicks, the baby stops moving. I know, it’s unfair, right? She’s getting naughty haha. I think the baby wants that mama can only feel her.

TIRED ALL THE TIME

The belly is getting bigger and heavier. I don’t have back pain but legs and feet are painful. I get tired and honestly, I am always tired. This is the stage when a pregnant woman wants to sit or lie down all the time. However, I am trying to keep moving otherwise I will be more tired if I don’t. At least, I get tired and productive. I want to keep moving and being active. I don’t want to be fat and gain too much weight.

Anyway, tomorrow we enter the third trimester. We are so close! Thank you for my daughter for being so patient taking mama’s weekly bump photos. She’s already being a supportive big sister, and I love her so much!
