Sandra Lemonon proudly showed off her 35-week baby bump as she prepares to welcome her first child with basketball player Sol Mercado.
The former Miss Universe Philippines delegate gushed over the excitement of giving birth while showing herself in an aqua-blue two-piece attire on her Instagram page yesterday, May 11.
“35 weeks [and] little to [five] weeks to go before we can hold our miracle in our arms. It is crazy how time flies by so fast, I can vividly remember our first ultrasound when we were only [six weeks and six] days,” she said.
Lemonon then expressed gratefulness for a healthy pregnancy so far, as well as the “amazing support system” she has.
“Treasuring these last weeks as I am feeling baby Z drop [or grow and] getting ready to be born,” she added.
Lemonon and Mercado confirmed they are in a relationship in September last year, after months of speculations from fans. The couple announced they are engaged and expecting their first child last March.
Lemonon was one of the candidates who vied for the Miss Universe Philippines crown in 2020. She represented Taguig City and finished in the competition’s top 16. She also competed in Binibining Pilipinas 2018 and Miss World Philippines 2016.
Meanwhile, Mercado last played in the Philippine Basketball Association for the NorthPort Batang Pier back in 2019. He was previously engaged to actress Denise Laurel. /ra
