Best moment of the week?
Seeing our baby again during our OB appointment. The ultrasound is not as clear as the one used in the Radiology dept but we can see our baby moving and kicking. It's such a happy feeling knowing that everything is okay and that our baby is healthy. My husband asked my OB if she can determine the gender. My OB tried to check and after a while, she smiled and said that she has an idea what it is already but she prefers that we wait till the 20-week scan. We are so intrigued that it made us even more excited!

What am I looking forward to?
Discovering our baby’s gender! We have booked our 20-week detailed ultrasound.

What emotions have I experienced this week?
Full bliss! Hami is already with us.. and our latest ultrasound assured us that our baby is healthy. What more can I ask for? I am so happy and so excited for the next days to come!

Am I wearing maternity clothes?
I love wearing the “kangaroo” preggy pants that my mom bought me. It’s so comfy and has a lot of belly space for my growing baby. I also received a lot of maternity dresses from Arnel’s sister and cousin. They all look so great! I feel so loved!

Stretch marks?
None yet :)

Has my belly button popped out yet?
Not yet.

Baby movements?
I am more certain now about the flutters that I am feeling inside. My baby is getting more and more active each day!

Boy or Girl?
Let’s wait and see on my 20-week detailed scan!

Sleep?
Sleeping is so much better now.

Have I been nesting?
Not yet.
