6 Months - 24 weeks

I am officially in my 24 weeks on my pregnancy. I just start my 6 months period yesterday and 3 more months to go. Weather is helping a lot now that it's not cold anymore. My back pains are not bothering me as much as it did when it was cold.


This month continues to be a period of rapid growth. At 24 weeks, your baby can suck his thumb and you may feel baby hiccup. He will have patterns of sleep and activity which you will come to know. His skin has lost its translucent appearance, but he still has not laid down any stores of fat and is therefore quite thin.
Your baby's skin is wrinkled and red. It is covered with lanugo (fine, soft hair) and vernix (a substance consisting of oil, sloughed skin cells and lanugo). Real hair and toenails are beginning to grow.

Your baby's brain is developing rapidly. Fatty sheaths which transmit electrical impulses along nerves are forming. Meconium, your baby's first stool, is developing. A special type of fat (brown fat) that keeps your baby warm at birth is forming.

Baby girls will develop eggs in their ovaries during this month. The baby's bones are becoming solid. Your baby is almost fully formed and looks like a miniature human. However, because the lungs are not well developed and the baby is still very small, a baby cannot usually live outside the uterus at this stage without highly specialized care.

Unplanned Shopping

My old friend and I decided to meet yesterday for lunch and then go to the mall. She is 32 weeks pregnant too and wanted to see me since I am 23 weeks pregnant and we haven't seen each other in almost a year now. We ate at the Chinese buffet and then headed to Burlington coat factory. When we got there we started shopping around for ourselves and I didn't really intend on getting stuff for my little angel but I can't resist when I saw them. They are really cute and I can't stop but look through and ended up buying even my husband said don't buy anything for the baby yet since his sister and mom will have a baby shower for me and we'll just going to shop after. What can I do I was just excited and I wanted to buy stuff for my baby even though it wasn't much but it satisfied my feeling.

Never get tired

Last night I was bugging my husband to hook up a VHS player so I can see the sonogram video again. He was like you want it now??? I said yea. He was hesitant but can he do? I know how to melt his heart by asking very nice, so hook me up a VHS(we asked the sonogram technician why used a VHS why not just used a DVD or something, but she said it's more convenient for her and for parents since most wants to do it more than 1, by using a VHS she can just add the next one to the last one which makes sense). I am very excited as usual I have been wanting to see my baby again even after we came out of the office, I have been looking at her pictures every hour or so. What can I do I can't wait to see my little angel especially that she reminds me every minute because she's been kicking trying to tell me that she's there. My husband watch our baby last night and again today I watched it again and want to watch it again but I am afraid that if I keep rewinding it, it will ruin the tape so I hold on to myself and I have to wait until we get a copy of it and put it in DVD or copy it to my computer, it's so much easier.

So excited to see you baby

Today was an important day of me and my husband's life because, today we saw our little angel through the power of technology called sonogram. I have been ecstatic just hearing my little angel's heartbeat and I can't wait to see my baby. We decided to know if it's a boy or girl to kinda prepare and for the baby shower too. My baby was awake when we are doing the sonogram and it was kicking like a pro inside. We knew that our little angel is a GIRL. She was very active throughout the entire process kicking and stretching. When we finally almost over she was yawning which we caught in on tape since we decided to have a video of the whole time and of course print outs of our baby girl.

22 Weeks

I had my regular prenatal visit Thursday and everything seems to be okay. My baby seems to doing fine and all test came back regular. I am very happy to hear the heart beat of my little angel and knowing that she is doing great inside made my whole day. I have been feeling my angel lately and very happy every time i feel the kicks and moves and squirm. It just made me feel comfortable and worry-free.

Fascinated

I was just browsing around the Internet last night and I saw the news (well it is news to me since I never heard it and maybe I am pretty late with it) with Jenna Jameson that she is having a twin this coming April. I looked her up and found her myspace.com website and saw this really cool and cute picture that I want to share.

Enjoying my pregnancy

Yup that is true. I am enjoying every minute of it. I know I am gaining weight dramatically but to hell with it, it's for my little angel who is kicking every everyday. I am so amazed how life is being created inside me and to be able to feel it every single day is just priceless. I tried to count every kick and squirm and moves my baby is doing everyday. I am so blessed that God granted me this opportunity to feel this way and I just can't wait to see and hug my little angel.

I made this blog entry because my baby is literally kicking right now and I am so excited to feel it.
