Pregnancy Log: week 23 and 24

There’s more waking up in sleeping time for the past weeks. Sleeping on either sides and back is like so difficult. There were times I couldn’t sleep during the night at all.  Afternoon nap is so important to me nowadays. Makes me dislike ‘unwanted’ visitors who like to come in the noon! (feeling grumpy)

Baby movements are getting stronger with big bulges, which I experienced pain at my ribs once. My weight has been steady for the past 2 weeks. Except for the constipation problem. Never felt so constipated before, not even during my first pregnancy. I have started to eat more fruits and veggies to ensure I clear my bowels everyday.

I still want the food I can’t havet, like those sweets and pastries but in moderation.

BB name was 90% confirmed. And we have started to buy a few baby items.

Lunch of the day

Back to cooking again…

Fish has come back into my daily meal. (after so many months of morning sickness and omitting fish).  For now, it’s like having cod fish everyday.  I like my fried cod fish, doufu with celery with brown rice porridge. Simple and yummy.  :)

Mama, I love You

Someone asked me is that how I do it everyday.

No, I’m not a supermom. In fact, I think I am far from it. To me, Parenting never comes easy to every mommies, whether being a SAHM or FTWM.

“Mama, you’re always my best friend…”

I have never loved anything more. Being her mama is by far the most amazing and rewarding job in my life.

This year is special, as I have an added birthday wish…for bb.

Received many well wishes from friends but didn’t hear from my mum and bro. As usual, my birthday are forgotten by them. So today I celebrated my birthday hb, zann and bb (in my womb).

We didn’t go anywhere special just nearby to have a lunch outside together. Told hb I hate crowded place especially now that I am pregnant.

Pregnancy log: week 22

Last Mon was a big day. My mum and nanny were right, it’s a boy!
Some said my tummy round, some said sharp.  Old folk’s belief, sharp means boy and round means girl. My intuition was wrong because I thought I will be having a girl.
Nevertheless, girl or boy, we are still equally happy. Except Zann who is abit disappointed because she is hoping for a mei mei (sister) to play with.

This week, I can feel baby move more and more especially evening time. My belly is growing big. Now I am on a diet,  with less sugar and less carbo to prevent gestational diabetes. It’s a pain cos that means cutting down my fav ice cream and sweets. Doc said I have put on weight too fast. So well, need to control abit, for baby’s sake.

food cravedFood which I have been craving, but not allowed to eat at the moment. :(

wholemeal

I was advised by the Doc to take more wholemeal instead.

For now, I will have to watch my blood sugar level. So stressed of thinking what to eat everyday and whether I am eating fine. I haven’t had ice cream for three weeks and I miss that.
