The belly is really getting out there more than the usual "I had a big dinner" vibe it had before. I'm starting to think that by the end of the second trimester I'll earn my very own gravitational field.
Every morning we feel like the belly is slightly bigger and more extended. Right now it looks more like an arrow than a rounded belly, but I think it’s because I’m quite short, so the womb doesn’t have a lot of vertical room to grow to so it kind of “pushing out”. I’m not used to it, and sometimes I feel like I need to keep a hand under it to “support it” (obviously, I don’t need it. Yet).
I think I’ll need to make an appointment with the dentist soon, with all the throwing up that happened last moth. In addition to it, it’s STILL really hard on me to drink normal water, so I keep adding lemon to it. It might be good for my body, but It even more acidity on my teeth.
I’ll wait a little bit longer, though, since I’m still dealing with the weaker nausea and occasional throwing up. It’s really getting better, but dentists do shove things into your mouth and I’ll be really embarrassed to throw up on a dentist’s hands.
Other than that, having lots of odd and vivid dreams (most amazing one by far was me telling my late grandmothers about the pregnancy). I feel like sometimes I “see” my future child, but I’m never too sure if she is actually mine or not (I still don’t know the baby’s sex yet, but in the dreams she was a girl twice). She always feels like she is connected to other characters in the dream, and is mostly there as some kind of an ambassador to let me know what’s going on.
I hope next week I’ll have an update regarding traveling to Israel, because I really want to see my family already, and especially my mother. Thank you all for your kind words on my last post! I’m very excited :)
