People confused me for Gwyneth in Shallow Hal hahaha! Just kidding. I weigh 64 kilos/141 lbs and my waistline is now 40 inches. At night, I've been tossing and turning in bed 6-8 times on an average, changing my sleep position. Moving my bump from one side to another, like moving a watermelon with no hands! Regarding comfortable sleeping position on late pregnancy, I have attached here an excerpt I got from Baby Center.
One of the privileges of being pregnant is getting offered a seat on a bus or in an MRT when all seats are taken. I guess my tummy sticks out big time or is it just my forehead with a "Pregnant lady on board" sign hahaha! Well, I'm not used to getting this kind gesture during my pregnancy not until I hit the third trimester. My tummy was less noticeable during my second trimester since I only got a small bump, they may have confused me for a lady with lack of exercise ;p
As of now, I'm taking quite a number of tablets/capsules per day (OBmin, folic acid, DHA, calcium, and the two tablets for hemoglobin and vitamin C). The DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), an omega-3 essential fatty acid, is for brain development. How I wish I got a doze of it when I was still on my mom's tummy hahaha!
The ever dependable flip flop is my best friend nowadays. It's my feet's constant companion specially when me and Dennis go out of the house. What a relief for my sore feet! Good thing I don't have edema ("manas").
On food, my recent indulgence include cheesecake, ice cream, halo-halo, pearl shakes, coconut juice, anything sweet and cold. I just hope this doesn't make the baby too fat. Bad mommy! Too sad the chinese lady from Rochor food house tells us I can't take my chin-chow drink anymore 'coz it's not good for pregnant woman. Waaah! ='(
As for our little sweetie, Baby Alex is on the move! It's fun to see her little parts pushing
against my tummy. Dennis and I are guessing if it's her knee, foot or elbow. Sometimes there are little lumps that wiggle.. I guess it's the toes or fingers. We get to play with her when she moves and says "Huli ka! What's this baby?". Sometimes she hits my ribs, ouch! No, it's not painful hehehe, it's more of uncomfortable. But it's ok, as long as I know that she's perfectly doing fine. She's now accumulating more fat which explains my drastic change in weight week by week.
We were a bit concerned with baby Alex last time 
because she's still on a breech position, then the doctor is talking about cesarean delivery just in case she doesn't rotate. Gulp! I was scared because the last time I had an operation, I fainted while cleaning the stitches and that was only an inch long, what more with cesarean operation. Our doctor advised us to talk to our baby and plead for her to rotate, which we did every single day. Then last Saturday, we had another check-up, the doctor confirmed she's in the right position, head down yey! Very good baby! My due date is on December 26 but this time, Doc said, we are to expect the baby's delivery starting on December 12. That's less than a month now, Mommy and Daddy can't wait to hold our little princess in our arms!
