April updates of my lil sweet pea

 I actually missed the 2 week scans and the 2 week visits to the doctor as now I had to wait a month before I get to listen to baby boy's heartbeat, and a month before getting to see his development inside my tummy.


April is about to end. Daddy and Mommy just had their 5th wedding anniversary. Our last "just the two of us" anniversary. :) And the lil pea is on his 27th week (more or less) and my tummy's getting very big that people would think I was about to give birth. Yes it was that big, and yes I got so big, and my nose got bigger (and harder.lol). And my face was full of acne!!! :( Doc said my weight gain and acne were brought about my meds.  I couldn't wait to get off them, but of course I was willing to take them longer if it meant baby will be safer.


I also had some days when my tummy would harden. I assumed they were Braxton Hicks contractions or those that they call rehearsal/practice contractions that a mommy feels before real labor.


Our 8th scan. April 28, 2017. You seemed smaller, as at the time of our scan you were 2 days short of your 27th week, but your average ultrasonic age was just 26 weeks and 2 days and your estimated date of delivery changed to early August. But your heart was beating strongly, at 150 bpm. Listening to your heartbeat always, always gives me a high.


We have noticed that everytime we have scans, the little boy always covers his face or part of it. heheh. Today was not an exception. hehe.


The scan also showed that you were in a breech position but was told not to worry coz you still had a lot of time to do somersaults and move to the position best for a normal delivery. My contractions were also detected in the scan.

When I had my prenatal checkup a few days later, the OB actually felt my contractions and gave me meds that would ease them as it was quite early for me to be feeling them.

But other than that, everything avout the pregamcy was a-ok. Next chexk up would be in 2 weeks.

I am also excited as TM friends amd HS frienda have arranged for separate baby showers for me and the lil bub. :)
