2nd Trimester

Best time. I feel great with my new body, I love it. So round, so cute. Thought is getting harder to keep with my previous everyday going. But still this little girl and I have plenty of energy to do many things together.

At 21 weeks, she could fit in the palm on my hand, amazing right? Her digestive system started working already and she’s swallowing amniotic liquid. Her brain is working constantly, generating nerve centers; so she’s more sensible to everything around her, what I do, my voice… She has defined sleeping phases, of around 20 mins each. Her eyelids are developed, but she won’t open her eyes till week 28.

At 23 weeks, she moves more and more – she still has the room for it. Sometimes I think I can feel her, but it’s so short I’m not sure. It must be her, what else?

Today 24 weeks, she sleeps around 20 hours a day – sleeping beauty. She hears me; now her little ears are completely formed. I love singing for her, hope she likes it. And she’s around 600g.

I’m very tired lately. I know I should take more care of myself; hard with all that is going on.

But I will do, for both of us sweetie. I Promise.
