Pregnant in Rome

It has been a while since I updated this blog. Anyway, I thought I'd write a few things about my pregnancy as a diary to monitor myself and the baby. I am already at my 28-week of pregnancy. The latest doctor appointment last Friday shows that both baby and me are doing well. We did a detailed anatomy scan last month and everything is normal in relation to the baby's heart, brain, bladder, etc. So that is a very good news!

For me, I have gained 9.5kg so far. My current weight is 73.5kg. Baby's weight is 1.1kg (so I am adding 8kg to myself) I am concerned with weight gain during pregnancy as my first pregnancy I gained a whopping 21kg and Norman was only 3.4kg. It took me 9 months to get back to my pre-pregnancy figure. Considering my age, it is also more difficult to gain back the pregnancy weight.

Overall, so far so good in terms of pregnancy. I am really excited as we will be getting a baby girl! Too excited that we already bought her first shoes. Too cute!
