It has gone massive!

When I was walking around the mall, I always feel envious of pregnant ladies. As they look so proud and I feel as though they were glowing carrying their little one in the belly.

Now that I myself is in their position, I too, feel proud as I walk around rubbing my belly.

At the first few months, it feels so surreal that I'm pregnant. Like, "Am I really pregnant? I don't see the bulging tummy yet...". Or rather it's not as big I thought I would look like. "Am I just bloated?" A lot of questions played in my mind.

Took this picture in the office toilet as it's the only place so far that I can see my belly

At 15 weeks, my tummy was still small. (Well, glad to say my figure was still okay). As usual, I went for antenatal appointments and baby has been healthy. All signs were good, no massive sickness except for occasional flu and coughs but the baby is alright.

Every month I just look forward for my check up at private hospital. Though I did went to government clinic so that I can get a more thorough check up, free. (I'll probably post another update about this next time regarding KKIA)

The lift light were fixed and it was super bright! Can't help but took a bumpfie

As the caption says. My bump is starting to look more obvious now, though it's still not as big as I could imagine myself walking awkwardly to support the weight. But I could no longer fit my usual jeans! I was on my maternity jeans in this one. In addition to this, I've bought myself more maternity clothes. Pants especially. I think I can still fit into my loose shirts at this point. But I just grabbed one or two more XL sized tshirts for the comfort at home. Baby has already started kicking at this stage. First to notice the movement when I'm about 18 weeks.

Hmm, seems like I've only been wearing the same top when I took my bumpfie. LOL. coincidentally.

On 26th weeks, the bump looks much bigger. And I too, gained weight.I think I have gained more than 5 KG so far. (OH EMM GEE).  My arms, thighs, belly of course have all gone bigger. Can't really tell from my face. Maybe slightly chubbier? But it still look normal to me. Not a drastic change.

Ugghh.. My hair is now on obvious 2 colours due to growing. I havent dye my hair ever since my wedding last year. The original hair colour has grown out and every time I look at the mirror I feel like I wanna chop off the whole brown hair part. That will be super short. It wouldn't go well with my fine hair. I NEED THICKER HAIR. I've always wanted a boy cut. Tried once to have bob cut, I just look rounder and hair looks thinner. Meh.

Same top again. LOL

This picture really shows that I've gained weight. Head and body looks totally off now. As if I just got a picture of the body and paste my head over it. This time around baby's movement has become so massive and frequent! Active baby I suppose. That's a good thing, right? Sometimes, baby responded when I massage my belly. It's a really nice feeling. I'm not much of a talker, at times I really don't know what to say to the baby. But communication is important!

And, I've been dealing with acne so far. Not sure if it's the pregnancy hormone. But I suspect it's my lactose intolerance. Been drinking maternity milk since I'm pregnant. Also, just lately discovered from reading an article that lactose intolerance may cause acne and bloatness. Which I have so far. Well, the acne part was before I was pregnant and I've been drinking a lot of milk every morning before work at my in-law's place. Probably diet and environment plays a role too? Many factors have change since I move in. Never knew what's the real cause.

So that's my progress so far throughout my second trimester. Hello third and final semester. Can't wait to see our little baby!
