My half-way pregnancy journey update

Hello

So I am currently 23 weeks@6 months pregnant

How fast time flies isn't it?

I don't even feel the time

It just moving on

Speaking of moving, my baby move a lot these days

Like A LOT

Sometimes when I talked to him, he'll kick me from inside

Seems like he understands what's going on out here

The first time I felt his move from outside of my belly, I burst into tears

And also laughing at the same time haha

It was a very strange feeling for the first time

But now, every moment ina day I would be talking to him and waiting for him to respond to me

But, it's a different situation for my husband though

He still can't feel our baby when he puts his hand on my belly

It seems like the baby doesn't want to move at all once daddy comes closer

Hahahahaah poor guy

On the other side, I've been having mild cramping and back pain constantly these days

Sometimes it hurt so bad that make me cry alone in the middle of the night

I don't wake my husband up normally when I suffer at night because I don't want to disturb him from his sleep

He has to go to work early in the morning

I would rather embrace the pain and just go to bed

My doctor said I should get a pregnancy belt that will support my back and my growing belly

Because my belly is growing so fast now

I can't hide it anymore

It's very obvious now

I also need to wear maternity pants

I cannot fit into my regular jeans anymore

But it's okay

It's all worth it for you my little angle

I seriously can't wait to hold him close to my chest

My husband one time said "baby, just come out already! I cant wait to see you!"

And I was like "oh relax mister, I'm not gonna have preterm labor, I want him to be full-term okay"

Anyway, one horrible thing happened to me last week

It was Thursday (September 19,2019)

I was about to leave my house to go to school

I was a little rushing because my uber driver already arrived

But, suddenly, I tripped in front of my doorstep

and "boom!!!" I fell

It hurt my knees but I'm glad at least I didn't land on my belly

I land with my hand and my knees then lastly my hip

I was thinking to cancel my uber and just stay at home but he's already here

So, I just decide to go and talk to my advisor and come back

I was feeling fine the whole day

Suddenly the day after, I was sitting at my office and I start feeling intense cramping

I called my doctors office

Told them that I fell yesterday

And they were like "You have to come in today!"

And then we went into the OB Triage

They checked me in

The doctor did a very thorough check on me

She didn't even let me walk

I have to lie down the moment they ask me to change into the hospital gown

They push me on the same bed to go to the ultrasound room 

It was kind of funny because people were looking at me

That's my first time being rushed in a hospital bed like that

Alhamdulillah doctor checked my cervix and it was closed

Nothing to worry

She just mentioned that next time if I ever fall or involve in any accident, please come in immediately to the hospital

I learn my lesson now :)

Welcoming Fall!!! Our favorite season of the year xoxo

Tonight we're leaving for a trip

The doctor told me that it's fine for me to fly

So we are so excited about the trip this week!

I'll update about the trip in my next post :)
