Week 9

 Le babeh is still a bebeh lol.

Week 9 they say the baby is an inch long a size of a grape or cherry, developing hands and feet, lost its tail already and looking more and more like a human. 

Week 9th could be the most challenging so far. More sensitive smell especially to stinky smells, I tend to vomit whenever I think of a bad smell or smell something off. Mentos to the rescue. So been chewing mentos every now and then to counter this. Plain water also tasted differently. It's like I'm looking for a certain taste but I don't know what (of course). 

Week 9th on 7/21/2021 got a cramping feeling above my stomach. it comes and goes every after 2 minutes and went on from like 12nn to 2pm until I went to sleep with the hopes that the slight pain would go away. It did, after I took a nap, thank God! 

Week 9th, I am also getting more hungry every few hours. As I read about it, the advise is to eat small meals every few hours and keep a cracker closeby.

So far though, all I've been doing was take a nap after work lol (after 130 pm or after lunch around 230 pm) until 430 or 5pm. Should be stretching more to make sure my back remains okay. After my first prenatal, which should be on July 27th, as soon as I learn more about the baby's state, I would be more comfortable doing more exercises. For now, just being extra careful since I don't have any report on the baby yet.

On the side note, Camilla is way okay with the baby now. She makes sure I rest as well and that I am okay. When I feel like vomitting she would give me a mentos. 

Camilla has also started her ballet class last Saturday. It was a nice experience and I am glad she enjoyed and still wants to go to her next class. We need to teach her how to potty on her own and change or remove her clothes on her own. 

Camilla has been reading her books, too! I am sooooo proud of this girl. We should practice more her writing and number skills. Lastly, we don't use diaper at night anymore! So many BIG WINS for this girl!
