at 20 weeks pregnant this week, i’m starting to feel the burn! lol <\/p>\n
not that it’s been a hard or difficult pregnancy, but things like shortness of breathe, braxton hicks, rib cage expanding and other stretching happenings – have started earlier than it did with Jasper (or so I can recall). everything is going well though, so i won’t complain \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n
baby girl moves ALOT. always in the morning when i wake up, always at night when i’m about to fall asleep. she seems to move when i’m lying down, lol. sometimes i can see her outline shape sticking out of me, i swear – it’s either her little head or her bottom poking outwards \ud83d\ude42 Regan hasn’t felt her kick yet, but i think she’ll come around soon. <\/p>\n
another thing (and i hate to be comparing first pregnancies with second pregnancies!), is that this time around my hormones are going CRAZY. the other night, i woke up at midnight (yes i was asleep already LOL) and had a major panic attack. i stayed up for a few hours while it passed, but the next day i just didn’t feel right. i feel totally ok now, but wow it was scary. i was never like this with Jasper – no migraines, no panic attacks, no lingering moodiness. i suppose baby girl needs some lady-hormones installed so my body is producing more this time \ud83d\ude1b <\/p>\n
i am excited to be half way already! one on hand, i cannot wait to meet this little girl, i remember how lovely those first few hours were with Jasper alone in our room. how content i was to finally look into my baby’s eyes finally. <\/p>\n
on the other hand, i feel very blessed to experience pregnancy again so soon and without any issues. i’m savouring each day and every pang i feel because i’d rather be feeling it, than not at all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
