Best moment of the week?
Seeing our baby again and hearing the heartbeat. We are so happy that the heartbeat increased to 133 bpm. My doctor also said that everything is normal and our baby is healthy. Our baby can also be seen clearly in the ultrasound now. It happens to be our anniversary (as a couple) as well. Since we are still trying to be careful, we just went to a nearby Japanese restaurant. I was craving for their sushi since last week!

What am I looking forward to?
Our next appointment after 2 weeks! I am also looking forward to bringing back my appetite so I could enjoy eating the food that I want.

What emotions have I experienced this week?
Mostly happy and relieved that our baby is doing great!

Am I wearing maternity clothes?
Not yet.. just the usual. But I started using tights since my jeans can’t be zipped up anymore. I also can’t wear my body-fit clothes anymore since my belly has started to bulge.

Stretch marks?
None yet :)

Has my belly button popped out yet?
Not yet.

Baby movements?
None yet, I think it’s still too early for me to feel it.

Boy or Girl?
To be confirmed soon.

Sleep?
Yes, I usually have 2 naps (in the morning and in the afternoon). But then I sleep around 12mn at night and I wake up once or twice to pee. I also observed that my sleep at night is not straight.. I usually wake up in the middle of the night and find it hard to fall to sleep again. So I recharge and try to recover my lost sleep during my 2 naps.

Have I been nesting?
Not yet. Will probably start on the 7th month.
