31 weeks pregnancy update, I have a big baby!

Hello there...

Been a while since I updated my blog... I'm kind of lazy to do anything now :p (I just love to nap, nap and nap... I'm heavily pregnant, that's my excuse, lol)

A little update about my pregnancy (maybe not so little, I have a lot to update).. I'm currently 31 weeks pregnant and this week I'm going to enter week 32 of my pregnancy (8 months) and I have been in my third trimester for quite a while :)

3rd trimester perks I've got so far (let's make it sound nicer)

1) Pee on myself while laughing, coughing or sneezing
2) Drop something but can't pick it up (so difficult to bend down), so just stare at it, hoping someone will come by and pick it up for me
3) TV can no longer hold my interest because I'd rather watch my whole belly move as my baby kicks and moves
4) I have to roll myself out of bed like a beached whale
5) Pee every 5 minutes literally
6) Put my hands over my belly in a crowded place (afraid of people bumping my big belly)
7) Get really good at picking things up with my toes (ahaa!)
8) Getting up off the couch includes 5 minutes of motivational thinking
9) Can't move without making some kind of noise
10) Buy more panties to keep up with the demand of changing them every time I wet myself
11) Know where every bathroom in every store is!
12) Need a seat badly where ever I go
13) Backache if I walk for more than one hour
14) Waking up 4 times a night just to do a little pee
15) Feeling so heavy and lazy to lift my legs to walk
16) Out of Breath easily and heartburn
17) Insomnia (at least twice in a week)
18) Had scariest dream ever: my teeth became all crooked :'( I woke up immediately and went to mirror, luckily they're perfectly fine :)
19) I love to watch him move for hours and never get bored. I can't help but awww-ing 100 times when ever I see the surface of my belly moving, jumping & dancing like a big ocean wave. He's real but his movement can be painful sometimes!
20) I hate prenatal exercise, I just can't move my body! but always look forward parentcraft class every Saturday
21) No belly stretch marks at all but I have a lot of scary ugly stretch marks all over my butt :(
22) I have gained 20 kg so far :( I'm a fat lady now...
23) I haven't started my baby shopping yet, gosh.. I'm panicking now!
24) My fingers feel numb all the time (that makes me lazy to update my blog)
25) Baby moves a lot and stronger.. I love him more and more!
26) Baby hiccups many times a day. What a little serial hiccuper!
27) A weird feeling to feel someone's hand, elbow, knee moving & knocking around inside my belly
28) Finally, for the first time in my life, I'm scared to be a mother! (I'm excited but it's just too overwhelming) of course, I look forward to see him, already imagining how he looks like...

Ultrasound at 31 weeks, it's the picture of baby's private part (sorry if it's too graphic). According to Dr., his testicles already dropped down. Everything looks good! Baby is measuring big, he is a real big baby.. He's measuring 2 weeks ahead (measuring at 33 weeks plus, 2.3 kg plus, wow!!) I'm quite afraid if baby is too big, I might need to go for C-Sec (hopefully won't, I want natural birth). We are expecting him to arrive in April (hopefully late April cos our nursery is not ready yet, we haven't started our baby shopping yet).. So baby, please bake a little longer there until end of April, okay?

My 8 month baby bump!

Bump from front, I'm tall and have long torso, so I don't look heavily pregnant, in fact I'm!

Oh that's gross, my belly button has popped out a little!

I'm currently using Palmer's Stretch Marks lotion twice a day and Bio Oil once in a while... I love Palmer's, it smells so good and only a little amount of lotion needed, plus it spreads over my belly evenly :) Bio Oil is not bad, but I need many drops to spread over enough! So I think it's more worth to buy Palmer's :) Result-wise, honestly I don't know! I use stretch marks lotion to moisturise my skin during pregnancy. So far, my belly has no stretch marks at all (my gynae always compliment how good my belly skin looks like) but I have a lot of reddish ugly stretch marks all over my butt, like seriously?? I do apply lotion on my butt, hips, thighs and bust (and of course belly as well) but it seems like my butt just can't be helped :'(

Another bump shot, taken before I chopped my hair short

My new short hair... Finally I had the courage to chop my hair. My mum had been telling me not to cut my hair due to some old wife tales related to hair cutting during pregnancy (Not sure why too, but she just insisted NO) Anyway, I couldn't stand it anymore.. I felt extremely over heated during pregnancy.. So I chopped it off :p I feel fresher now :)

Books I'm currently reading. Knowledge is important, right?

Until Next Time,
Netty
