Can you believe that I'm 23 weeks pregnant? Well it's hard to think otherwise with this photo! I'm really enjoying the "Babymoon" and for those who are wondering what the heck that is, that's pregnancy lingo for the 2nd trimester. It's supposedly the trimester that's the most pleasant and from my own personal experience, it's certainly nicer than the 1st trimester. I finally caved in and brought some proper maternity shirts. Craig politely pointed out that some of my usual tops just weren't cutting the mustard. Good ole Target came to the rescue but I'm also doing some online shopping. I've never shopped online for clothes before so I'm desperately crossing fingers & toes, hoping I got the right sizes!
Craig can feel the baby kick now which really makes me smile. I love that I can share the baby's movements with someone else and when Sharlene, my sister, visited on the weekend, she got to feel a few good kicks too. Lots of people have asked me whether the baby's a boy or a girl but I've got no answer, as Craig and I have decided to wait and find out. However, I'm beginning to suspect a boy and so does Craig, cause the baby is a bit bigger than it should be for its gestational age. Hopefully it's that and not gestational diabetes as this can also cause large babies. I'll be having a blood test of gestational diabetes when I'm 28 weeks so we'll wait and see.
Otherwise, I've been eating well and while I've not had any unusual cravings, I am enjoying my sweet tooth every now and then. I had coconut jelly at Yum Cha today which I haven't had in yonkers! It was delicious. Oh and egg tarts too! Gotta love all those asian desserts.
That's about it for now. I hope you're all well & happy and for those of you in Australia, not getting too wet with the spell of rain!
Yours truly,
Demi & Craigus.
