It’s now week 26. You are 800g and very active.
Your small nose looks like mine. Daddy has a sharp nose… let’s see how your features develop from here. You are very active, my darling. You nudge, push, kick and you like to lepak your legs up against the left wall of my womb or under my left ribcage. Sometimes (more times now…) I can feel your weight going all the way down on top of my bladder/uterus/vagina. The weight shift is SOOOO heavy and makes me go toilet (even more) often than usual!
You are such a cutie pie, my dear girl. My heart bursts with emotions every time I see you doing your kung fu, yoga, stretches etc. Catching you unaware is one of the best things I’ll do till I see you in the flesh. It took me a few months to ease up on the anxiety. A loss is still a loss, no matter how long.
Both your hands were up. We saw you pulling your hand in to suck your thumb 🙂
I’m now a whopping 70 kg from my fluctuating normal weight of 58-62kg. I’m heavy-boned and (used to) have high metabolism. After birth, I must endeavor to go down to 55kg. I’m sure you’ll help me by latching and taking away the excess weight 😉
My legs are really tired and aching. Daddy bought me Fitflops and Skechers slippers. Very pain you know and I walk home from Khatib mrt EVERY DAY! Which I’m grateful for as it helps strengthen my legs and gives the exercise I need.
You respond to my taps on my tummy. As I’m writing this, you are literally kicking up a storm inside! I’m v v v happy that you are so active, my darling. Words cannot justify how happy we are to know all is well with you.
I love you.
Little one, this is for you.
