Update: Week 31

According to the husband, I'm only at week 30. But let's not ruin it and let me enjoy the fact that I'm almost there...

Baby’s Size

According to the app, baby is now the size of a romaine lettuce! 

Total weight gain

Last time I checked, Ive gained 9kgs! 

Maternity clothes

Loose clothings are the best. I dont know how Kim did the bodycon look while preggers but light, kaftan-ish materials work best for me. 

Stretch marks

None so far, alhamdulillah and Ive got Burt's Bee's Mama Bee Belly Butter to thank!

Sleep

Has been a challenge due to the fact that sleeping sideways makes my belly feel like its hanging off my torso and my shoulders have been killing me. I tend to be very strict with my night routine (no lights except for bedside lamp, no playing with phone, read/watch sleepy aka boring things only, save the good netflix for tomorrow) and this helps at times. Im starting to use the pregnancy body pillow again and wow, it works now more than ever!

Longing for

3-in-1 coffee, sushi and exercise. But to be honest I've been quite naughty and had the occasional salmon once or twice...

Movement

Baby is moving less now but I suppose its because there is less space in the belly as he is getting bigger. Although whenever there is movement, it is more painful and can be quite of a shock especially when I'm walking. Imagine walking around the mall and suddenly feeling like someone's poking a chopstick from your uterus! Yep, thats how it feels like. The baby has also been hiccuping a lot! It feels like tiny little throbbing heartbeats which can be the cutest thing.

Cravings

Healthy stuff, somehow! No more sambal for me please. Bring in the sandwiches and salads! Oily food makes me feel yechh. Oh and my craving for dessert is back too. I'm back to eating candies and chocolates but it would leave this taste in my mouth which isnt very pleasant. I find that brushing my teeth with Lush's charcoal tablets have been helping me loads with this!

Symptoms

Everything under webmd! Lol. But the most recent (AND NEW) ones: sciatica (pinched nerve under my butt), TMJ (popping jaw), excessive sweating, shoulder AND back pain, tightness of skin around the waist area, breakouts on forehead, puffy hands and feet and most obviously, the DOUBLE CHIN. But honestly, I find it quite cute. Is it weird that I find my symptoms adorable? Its like, aww, Im having zits now! And its all for you, little one! Love shape emoticon.

Belly button in or out?

Hmm its like, not concave anymore but its also not exactly poking out. It's just flat. And super soft like jelly. Husband would touch it and freak out, just for fun. 

Wedding rings on or off?

Lol off the first month i think?

Happy or moody?

Anxious for the due date. Moody only when I'm too bored from not doing anything or in pain!

Looking forward to

- the next check-up- our weekly birthing classes- seeing the little one!!
