Our 36 weeks
Friday, October 17, 2008Time goes by....so quickly!
I am now in my 36wks, bbtara will be popping out anytime after this week!
It is getting exciting, we are anticipating the labour signals very very soon....
So, let me recap what has been happening for the past few mths:
it looks like life for both livingstone and me in general is still pretty much similar,
usual eat out meals, usual home dinners and usual gatherings with family and friends. I still enjoy cooking, baking and making our own meals at home. I count my blessings that life is kind to me (and us), with not much trouble during my pregnancy....
So, what is different?
1) My weight! - I have gained 10.8kg for the past 36 wks. My tummy is bigger, and I have stretched marks under my tummy alrd =( ....
2) bbTara has grown to 3.1kg on my last gynae visit.....gynae say she shld be huge when she pops...
3) The nursery at home is furnished and ready for bbTara's arrival =)
4) I wake up every 1-2 hrs in between my night sleep to pee
5) I can only sleep sideway for the entire night
6) I walk slower becos bbTara is heavy now (sometimes holding my tummy as i strolled)
7) My feet begins to swell
8) I have leg cramps twice so far (in the nite)
9) I am washing another person's clothes now (other then livingstone's)
Ok, let's stop here, 9 points are enuf. =)
Now that the nursery is furnished, both livingstone and I will go to the room everynight, sit by the bed, and ask the air, 'bbTara, do u like ur room?'....haha...as if she will respond???
it is an anticipation...for a new life that we have created. We do silly things together hoping that bbTara will join us in the fun when she pops....
As for me, my anxiety for the labour signals (or rather, pains) is getting stronger each day. It shld be time for me to countdown now, with our regular visits to the gynae now (like once every wk), I am imagining my gynae telling me, 'this is it, i hv to induce you today, let's get u admitted now!' Gosh! how imaginative I have became....
Livingstone on the other hand was telling me last nite that he is going to feel so helpless in the delivery suite when he see me in pain... While I worry that he will be bored while waiting for me to dilate.... haha...
Till I visit the gynae again next Monday.....
