The last round i tried to write, i fell asleep on my labtop. I hate to admit it but i'm getting more limited in many ways, getting really tired really easily. I miss my 2nd tri!
Hmm...Let's see if i can manage a post today.
I just marked tonnes of composition exam scripts cos school composition exam was on Wed (3 Oct) and I just don't have the energy to do anything else. Ended up surfing the net for a while..
Okie, so what have i been busy with? Work! What else? All teachers out there will know that the window just before examinations is the peak - we'll be busy clearing our markings in prep of our kids' revision.
That aside, I've been staring lots at my stomach lately. Not that i'm obsessed with myself. Trust me, i don't think any pregnant woman will feel very attractive at this point of time - a darken and bulging tummy that has a little bellybutton sticking out like a sore thumb, fats accumuating every where and swollen feet cos water retention. I lost count of the number of times i've asked Mart if i was fat! =p
Hmm, did i mention swollen feet? Yes, sadly but surely, my feet have begun to swell! The very week i hit 7th month preggy, my feet grew miraculously and i could no longer fit into those pretty baby doll shoes. Felt real clumsy cos i simply couldnt feel the ground! And yes, i did kick a few more dustbins in the office. =(
Okie, back to where i was. Why have i been staring at my belly? I have been trying to spot a little mould of Baby's feet or elbow or even hands but nah...haven had the chance to. Nonetheless, it has been an amusing experience. My belly moved involuntarily each time Baby moved. I love watching my tummy do the "Kallang Wave". Don't know what Baby has been doing but i literally see a hump move across my belly. The feeling? Ticklish! =D =D
Other than the Kallang Wave, it has been a great experience communicating with Baby. Place one hand on my belly and Baby responses by giving a little kick or push at exactly where i've placed my hand! =D Any karate kicks? Nope. Guess girls are more gentle. =D
Gee, those of you who grew up with me would know that i was very active and tom-boyish when i was a kid but i really hope that my baby won't take after me in this aspect. I pray that she'll have a gentle and sweet spirit. =) And oh, Baby's movements became more prominent! I've become really sensitive to her little turns and hiccups. She must have grown a lot! I look forward to our next meeting. That'll be on next thursday, 13 Oct. =)
And oh, many around me said i'm really BIG. I feel likewise and i feel really heavy. Just a few days ago, i dreamt that Baby came out at Week 35! My! Scary! =O
On a serious note, I have the hunch that Baby will come out earlier, say at Week 37 or 38 and that'll be NEXT MONTH! Reality is setting in and the very words "next month" seem really scaaarrryyy... I look forward to meeting Baby but honestly, I am apprehensive, the change is drawing nearer!
Hmm...do all mums-to-be feel this way?

it's really exciting! My boy came at week 37! Scary but FINALLY! good to see him and every of the past 9 months were forgotten there and then!!
Wow, everyone's little one seems to be arriving at either Week 37 or Week 38. I'd better prep myself for the BIG change mentally. If's it's going to be Week 38 as well for me, then Baby is going to arrive at the week beginning 20 Nov! Oh my!!!
