Third Trimester

Hello third trimester.
The final lap I will call it.
A lot of people are confidently telling me that I am feeling the weight of the stomach. Truth is I am not.
Some who noticed that I still cross my legs are either surprised or will tell me that it is not good because I am not allowing it to 'open' up.

Call this a little R(A) but biologically, my breasts are damn heavy, not the stomach and they resting on my upper abdomen is no fun.
Honestly, it is very frustrating because for full breast support, my bra was upgraded.
Way upgraded that I can only find my sizes in Marks & Spencer and their bras are damn expensive.

And then the uneasy feeling due to the wrapping up of the chest sometimes constricts my breathing and the husband will help unhook the bra to help me breathe.
He is getting better at that.

*lol*

There are times where I refuse to go out wearing a bra.
Put on the nipple pads and wear a tube to relax them.
But the weight really numbs the upper abdomen and I really mean numb that I will not feel my finger when I run through it.

And really in times like that I get very grumpy.
Cos ini tak kena, itu tak kena.

Again, when people confidently say,"Malam sure tak boleh tido kan?"
I just laugh and said,"I sleep better than the husband."

I adore my husband so much. Towards the end of my second trimester and into my third, I am always complaining to him about this and that.
As such, he is always on guard all the time. Even some of my movements triggered him to ask me sleepily if I am ok, gave me a hug and tells me he loves me.

How not to sleep in peace like that?

I cannot be outdoors. I must be in a mall, any strong air-conditioned place because my body heat is really unbearable.
Still the body temperature never exceeded 36.6 degrees.
Poor daddy had to put up with me to be in air-conditioned places to have family coffee and going outdoors to smoke.
Even when we sent him to the airport last night, I felt that the airport's airconditioning was spoilt.

Oh please don't mention about the carpark.
I was about to faint in the heat.

I am very grateful to my family for being super understanding with my body changes.
Temperaments are still kept quite in check.
Like I say, I am not only going to talk about the beautiful things about pregnancy. Yes there are but I think many forgot to add the ugly and umcomfortable things they experience.
Sure the big tummy is kinda cute but everything comes with a price.

My pregnancy has costed the husband a bomb with my medical fees and check ups.
That is excluding my shopping craze.

I was also told by many that being the family's first little one, whether the first niece/nephew or the first grandchild, he or she will never be yours.
Because everyone wants to throw their attention to the lil' kiddo.

For example, my Lil' Sis picked the name for Lil' Missy.
She has been going around looking at soft toys to see which one is deemed comfortable for my little girl's bantal bushyuk or nice clothings and shoes.
Same thing with mom. She has been looking at little girl's clothings and this was what she recently did.

She bought 0-3 months pairs of socks and sew laces and ribbons on them!
Awesomely cute kan!!!



Anyway, my sporadic Braxton Hicks are already kicking in. Maybe once a day or sometimes two days once.
I have a feeling that my little girl may be out sooner than the EDD.

Mummy made it to 28 weeks.
Let's target a celebration in 9 to 10 weeks!

Dearest Anak Mummy,
Remember the story mummy tells you everyday? When you feel mummy push, you need to push yourself too.
I promise you that Daddy will get hold of you, sing to you the azan and you can be in Mummy's arms full of warmth and comfort.

Yes, that is the story I 'brainwash' her everyday, hoping that my first labour will be over and done with in a short time.
No long labours please!
Ok now I am hyperventilating!!

xoxo,
