this is it!

with the days getting nearer,
i have more difficulties moving around with my big tummy.
braxton hicks contractions are getting more frequent.
my legs are getting tired maybe due to my excess weight.
been going to the toilet often.
more stretchmarks appear.
i get tired easily.
my appetite has been really good.
that after i eat,
i will get sleepy.
this last few days are really getting uncomfortable.

looking on the bright side,
insya'Allah
i will have her for 2 weeks or so in my womb.
we hit the 37 weeks (which is considered as full term) last friday.
so now it is a waiting game as she is able to come out anytime.

i've been having some pains and read up on labour articles for assurance.
lower back, abdomen, pelvic pain.
for once i've forgotten how menstrual cramps felt like.
it is quite scary in this stage because i might interpret the pain differently.

people has been giving me advice to walk a lot as it might help with the delivery.
but for this stage now,
my legs especially my soles and thighs feel as if they can collapse anytime.
on top of that,
my back will ache if i walk too much now.

i have to sacrifice meetings and events for the past few months to rest.
my energy levels is never full,
normally 25% left.

for my baby's preparation,
we have shifted some stuff in my room to make space for her.
=)
over the weekend,
my husband and i went shopping to get more of her things.
we bought mattress to fit into my old baby cot, bedding set, diaper bag, breast pump, bottles and others.
can say that we are ready for her arrival.

still on the topic of preparation,
finally! i have packed my hospital bag!
searched through several pregnancy websites on what items to pack.

i have to give credit to my husband.
i feel guilty that i have been really moody lately, getting irritated easily but he has been really calm to console and put me to ease.
thank you honey.

relatives have been asking me "are you scared for labour?"
actually,
i am trying not to worry about it now.
maybe when the time comes,
i will get frighten by the pain.
one thing that will reassure me is that:
"if He brings me to it, He will brings through it"
insya'Allah.

sweetheart,
soon you will get to see mama and papa!
=D
every day papa and mama talk about you, talk to you.
mama and papa are thankful for you.
do mama a favor can?
can you come out easily and fast?
hehe!
love you baby!
