Life at 25 weeks pregnant with baby number 2.

It’s only when I look at photos of myself, that I realise just  how pregnant I look now— & so I should when I’m almost at my third trimester! It’s all well and friends telling me how much he is growing, but you don’t quite see it when you’re looking down at your belly everyday! He’s getting big now though, isn’t he? I love having a big bump to show off. I’m quite surprised just how bulbous I am, to be honest! I usually put weight on my arms and love-handles, so I was convinced I would generally be quite round throughout pregnancy, so it’s great that I don’t look like an enormous lump! There’s still time yet though— I’m starting to get hungry so quickly. It’s hard to fight the urge to “eat for two”!

He’s moving / kicking / elbowing / punching me daily now and doesn’t shy away from his dad trying to feel him now either! He seems to love it when I lay down, although luckily he’s not quite strong enough to disturb my sleep just yet. It’s his opportunity to play and use my womb as an adventure playground. I finally managed to capture him on video last night, making my belly ripple around. It’s so bizarre to see and feel, especially when I put my hands on my tummy and feel his head / bum when he rolls over! I can’t wait to be able to define what body part it is that I’m feeling.
My backache is really starting to kick in now, probably not helped by our spring mattress! But a hot watter bottle always comes to my rescue:)

As for Amaira, shes doing good, getting active and like everybody else waiting for her liile baby brother to pop out soon...just hope all goes well..mumma will be coming to help me with the new born and I intend to keep her with me for at least 6 months..at every stage of my life, mum makes me realise how dependent Im on her for everything...love her loads...
