Week 29-32

My belly has grown bigger now and I'm starting to get uncomfortable from the weight & the pressure of my belly. Lately I'm suffering from heartburn almost on daily basis. Some days it makes me so sick I feel like I'm having a morning sickness.
My back is also hurting and I don't know how to get rid of the pain. It is frustrating because we're moving units at the moment and it seems that I can't do much. I feel that I'm useless although I think I've been quite helpful with packing and organising most of the stuff. Of course, it is affecting me too at work that I get tired easily seems like I can't get things done fast enough. My doctor said the maternity support belt for back & abdomen might help. So I went and I did find one shop in Kensington which has it, unfortunately I will have to wait until next week as they need to have it delivered from Melbourne.

We had another ultrasound scan. My bub is weighing 2.2 kg (4.85 lb) and very healthy according to the measurements, heartbeats & blood flows... No pictures this time, I don't know why maybe the bub's too big for them to be able to get the whole profile. We did have it recorded in DVD. It's amazing these days how you can show your children their pictures when they still inside their mommy's tummies... I think it's very exciting...

Week 25-28


We had a really good time at Sunshine Coast, it was warm & lovely although some days were really hot but I didn't mind at all. I haven't had a break for a long time & been so worried by chicken pox scare, a week off seemed bliss to me. I felt very tired every now and then during our vacation, but a good night sleep fix me right the next morning...

We stopped at Brisbane on the way home to check on baby stuff, thought it'd be cheaper than Sydney. Unfortunately we didn't have time to browse around so we decided we'd leave the shopping spree until we're back in Sydney. However, we couldn't resist to buy a packet of sporty Adidas booties & a hat. They're so cute & stylish, we chose blue for colour thinking if we bought the pink ones then if our baby's a boy it'd be a bit tricky!
When we're back from holiday we went for a day shopping just to get some basic needs such us baby body suits, stretch suits, socks & bibs. We also bought some flannette baby's wraps & a blanket. We bought a pram too. This is all so exciting!!!

My baby's really growing although some people say my bump is considerably small compare to others. It doesn't really worry me as I'm only small. I can't really imagine carrying a huge bump, poor my spine & legs!
My baby is very active. Every time the baby awakes I feel like there's a boxing match inside my tummy with all the kicking, rolling & punching...
