I always appreciate the love and views when it comes to you reading my blogs, so thank you! I noticed I get more views on my writings involving my pregnancy journey thus far, so each time I come back from the doctors I'll be blogging! Today I am 19 weeks 1 day which is equivalent to 5 months! According to Google, if you're not familiar with the weeks in a pregnancy, pregnancy lasts up to 40 weeks, a little over 9 months. They don't track your pregnancy by month but by weeks.
This morning I had a doctor's appointment to check on my little one and she's doing amazing! She weighs almost a pound already, its crazy to think! Everything else looks amazing as well! Every time the doctor sees me, he always applauds how well I've been doing in taking care of myself and my little one. I am so blessed to be healthy as for my little angel as well!
By now you can clearly see I don't have a flat tummy anymore nor does it look so bloated! I laugh because it looks like a mixture of bump and beer belly lol. I used to be so self-conscious when I first started to show because I am carrying so low! Babys' head is resting just above my uterus and her feet are right where my belly button is! The doctor said that's amazing for when I give birth, but that won't be for another 4 and a half months! I'm hoping soon, my little low bump will start to round out or as they say "pop." I was disappointed for a while because I really didn't start showing until last week.
I follow a few pregnancy groups on Facebook and I see all these other mom-to-be with their beautiful rounded bellies, and here I am with a low belly that just looks like a huge muffin top lol! I had to learn though not to compare myself to anyone because we're all different! Some women show sooner than others, others round faster and that's perfectly okay! I had to keep reassuring myself soon I will have that rounded firm belly, but to love the process that I'm in now and not to wish it away.
Now that I'm further along, I have felt my little one move a lot! At night when Pablo's asleep, I'll talk to my baby and ask her to move for me! I try and talk to her as much as I can, mostly talking with my mind lol, but every time I think of her or ask her for a little kick, she never disappoints! Pablo has felt her kick a few times too and he's super excited, I am so grateful for the 2 of them and how we are going to be a little family in just a few months!
I try not to waste my days by thinking of my due date but, sometimes I catch myself dreaming of how she's going to look like when she comes out, how I will feed her and play with her, and never take my eyes off of her. I already love her so much, I make sure to tell her every day! I've heard great benefits if you talk to your baby inside the womb so I try and make it a habit! I ask Pablo every morning to talk to her too because apparently at the stage that I am in, she can pick up sound and, she will recognize the voices she heard from when she was in the womb when she's finally here!
I am just so blessed and thank god every day for this miracle! I never expected my wish to become a mom would happen so soon but I always say, its God's timing not ours. I can't thank my partner enough for how much he has supported me since we first started off in this journey together till now. We have grown so much individually and as a couple and forever I am grateful for someone who is not afraid of change, and has helped me in tremendous ways!
Like I said in my last post in regards to relationships, Relationships Are Key, who you have in your corner is so important. Those people will either help you grow or stunt it. Choose people who choose you and, who are willing to work on themselves in order to become more successful, happier, whatever it is.
Thank you all who have continued to read my blogs and have wished me well. You are loved, you are divine, and you are blessed! I will continue to periodically blog about my pregnancy journey as I get further along.
