And so...

A little update about my pregnancy. I'm currently 31 weeks along and this week I'm about to enter week 32 of my pregnancy (8 months). Which makes this my 3rd trimester.

 

Some of the gifts that the 3rd trimester brought along are...

1) Peeing in my pants while laughing, coughing or sneezing

2) Dropping something but not being able to pick it up. So I end up just staring at it hoping that some kind soul will come by and pick it up for me

3) Having to roll myself out of bed like a beached whale

4) Not being able to see my toes unless I lift my feet up

5) Feeling as though I have to pee every 15 minutes

6) Placing my hands over my belly in a crowded place because I'm sure EVERYONE is going to collide into me

7) Cannot move without making some kind of noise

8) Holes appearing in my underwear

9) The need to sit down after walking around for half an hour

10) Being out of breath really easily

11) A weight gain of 10 kg so far. Feeling more gigantic by the second.

12) My fingers feeling numb all the time

13) Junior's movements are getting stronger. He's no longer kicking as much, but trying really hard to punch his way out. So sometimes I have to rub my tummy to make the "lump" he created inside subside.

14) Constipation... oh my god. Not.fun.at.all

15) Swollen feet every night... sighs.

16) Pimples appearing all over my back which is making me really upset.

MUST THINK POSITIVE!! Gambatte! 加油! 加油! ( ･ㅂ･)و

 

  

 

 

This was the ultrasound that was taken last Saturday. We caught a glimpse of his little face with his left fist in front of his mouth! Can't seem to figure out who this bear looks like more...He has chubby cheeks! Like me perhaps?

Baby at 32 weeks

This week your baby weighs almost four pounds and could be up to 19 inches long.

Your baby has also probably settled into the head-down, bottoms-up position in your pelvis in prepartion for birth. That's because the fetus's head fits better at the bottom of your inverted, pear-shaped uterus. And because your baby is accumulating more fat, his or her skin is finally turning opaque (like yours), which means those see-through days are over.  Though weeks away from D-day, your baby's looking more and more like a newborn.

Upping my dosage on fruits and vegetables in aid of constipation and hoping to give him a final boost of vitamins before he's born. I want him to be all chubby and cute!!

 

Lots more to do before he arrives. We have to get his cot and drawers prepped, the confinement lady's bed up and a few other knick-knacks. We've been going shopping every weekend and we are still not done!

But, it's only 8 more weeks before I get to meet him! Can't wait! ^^
