life as we know it...eh?
I'm at work so this is gonna be short.
Work sucks. A few years ago, I used to enjoy working shifts. I used to hate having to wake up at the same time everyday and going through the same routine day after day, week after week, month after month. But now that the shifts here are getting suckier than ever, and my biological clock is pretty messed up, I prefer something more...routine? I can't believe I'm saying this. I need a boring, office-hours job. I don't know if it will keep me sane, though. So what? I will have more organized time to look after myself and my family. I will not need to set a different time for my alarm clock everyday. I will not have to think about ridiculous lunch and dinner times. Yes, I need an office-hours job.
Baby updates:
I am 30 weeks pregnant.
There is about 2 months more to go, although he is expected to pop out slightly earlier.
I have gestational diabetes from eating too many chocolates & ice-cream.
I have been 'banned' from eating sugars and carbo.
My tummy is big but not huge, which is why I thought Baby would be small, but I thought wrong.
Baby is too large & I may need to have a c-section if he grows much bigger by the time he decides to pop out (because mummy is small).
Baby is extremely active and moves around a lot; he sometimes kicks me so hard that I get a shock or feel soo tickled.
It's pretty amusing to see my tummy move when he does.
My placenta seems to be in a safe position now.
I saw a cute, newborn baby singlet at the baby section at Takashimaya, and I want that to be my first gift for him(or breast milk, whichever comes first).
September will be a very busy month because I will be buying all of Baby's stuff then.
I only had two bouts of depression during my pregnancy so far. TWO. I'm doing good.
And a couple of not-so-serious asthma attacks.
I have gained 15kg so far(wow) and I look plump.
I hope we can get a good 3D scan of Baby's face on the next appointment, because the last time my gynae tried to do it, we could only see the back of his cute head due to his position.
For someone with a pretty high threshold of pain, there are some pregnancy-related aches and pains that cripple me, especially the excruciating lower back, rib and feet pains.
I have taken almost 20 MCs from work, and I actually feel good about it because it shows I'm just a normal pregnant woman, not Superwoman.
I can't wear my normal shoes anymore, not just because they're high-heeled, but because I don't fit in them anymore (swollen feet).
I can't wear my rings either due to swollen hands and fingers.
Baby's name is almost confirmed, but I'm not revealing it yet.
And I am guilty of munching on M&M's chocolates right now. I can't help it, these chocs keep my ciggie cravings away. And I think Baby likes it too.
