OMG. We’re at our third trimester with 8-ish weeks to go! I can’t wait to finally see Milktea but she still has a lot of fat to gain so I’ll let her punch and kick it out in my tummy for now.
Last weekend, we were in Baguio City to spend time with my family. We also took the time to have an extended celebration of our 2nd Wedding Anniversary with a Babymoon and Maternity Photoshoot!
My husband is awesome. I actually just had pine trees and simple maternity outfits in mind when I suggested the shoot. Yet he turned it into something really magical. Art direction, photography, and photo edits were all done by him. I only looked for my costumes, did my make up, and posed according to his direction. 😀 Here are our best shots:
Look how big my tummy is! Look how big I am! But it touches me how my husband never fails to tell me how beautiful I still am (“Di mo lang alam,” he says).
Who knows when I’ll get my old body back (i.e. my body when we got married) but the shoot was a great way to embrace these bigger curves and to anticipate the birth of our beloved daughter.
So we’re now at our 32nd week, a few days shy of our 8th month of pregnancy! In terms of symptoms, here’s what I’ve been experiencing so far: shortness of breath, heartburn, swollen feet, backache, leg ache, leg cramps, burping, flatulence, acne – in short, so many body pains! I’m grateful because my husband gives me almost nightly massages to help relieve the new aches that magically turn up by the following afternoon.
My next post will probably cover some of my pregnancy game-changers. Not exactly pregnancy must-haves but items that did make a huge difference for me during this pregnancy.
Until then! Love, love, love!
