We had an appointment with the midwife/nurse the other day and she measured my uterus and listened to Ludvig’s heartbeat. Everything was normal and she wasn’t at all concerned with my small belly. I also weighed myself and realized I have gained 6 kg. Guess Ludvig weighs 1 kg and then there’s the fluid in the womb. And then there’s my butt…. I have been so focused on my small belly I didn’t realize how much my butt had grown… I tried on some of my swim suits since we had plan on going on a sunny vacation next week (not happening) and realized I look like seal. There goes my plan on showing off an awesome pregnancy bod with the big round belly.
I do feel good now and only thing I could complain about is the pain in my lower back. But that’s to be expected when my own gravity point switches. I feel him many times a day and we play little games when I give him a little tap and he kicks back. I sleep from about 23 to 9 every night and I love our little morning ritual where I do a little status report on how he is and where he is. It’s amazing how tuned in to the body you become when you’re pregnant. Linus thought it was amazing to listen to his heartbeat at the nurse, but to me it’s much more real when I feel and also see him turn around in there!
PS: I hope you realize I’m just being sarcastic regarding the weight and that I really don’t care!
