I am 35 weeks++ now, and very excited to meet our baby boy. We’ll actually be meeting him earlier than expected since I needed to have an elective CS procedure very soon! While, I really enjoyed being pregnant, this pregnancy is definitely not easy (not that I have something to compare it with! Hehe). My morning sickness is really really bad during the 1st trimester. I feel like my lower back is splitting into two. Driving to work is dragging. I have nausea in the afternoon and throughout the night. I can’t get enough sleep. And even just the thought of egg, macaroni soup and smell of cooking rice makes me throw up. I can hardly eat, and I lost a few pounds. Not to mention, going through it with then 8cm fibroid growing in my uterus with our baby (which was only seen in my first ultrasound when I was 5 weeks pregnant). I am worried for our baby a lot. I cry all the time. Thinking about lot of things. And yes, maybe the hormones is making me feel worse than it actually is.
2nd trimester I say is quite a breeze. I felt relieved that we made it to 13 weeks. I know we are safer now. My nausea is gone just like that. I am slowly gaining weight and started to eat (everything) Hehe. It’s quite an unforgettable experience hearing baby’s heartbeat and feeling his little flutters for the first time. Pregnancy is really an overwhelming experience. We also found out that we are having a baby boy – when 99% of the time, people we know would guess it’s a girl. We will name him, Primo Luciano. Actually Di named our baby boy from his grandfather’s names. When we had a glimpse of Primo’s face at my 27th week ultrasound, I really felt like bursting into tears. He looks just like Di. His nose, lips, the shape of his face. It’s surreal. I can’t explain the happiness seeing our baby. Primo is like a little version of his father. Two people I love most who looks almost the same. I imagine myself staring at his face for hours. I can’t wait to see our baby!
