My belly is huge. I feel heavy although my weight has not increased by much.
TheBoy is very active, kicking and making his presence felt all the time. In the past, the girls will just tap gently to inform me that they are in there. But TheBoy is difrent.
At the last check up at Week 32, his estimated size is between 2 - 2.1kg. The placenta hasn't moved up. The sonographer said it's not likely to go up but the gynae will wait for Week 34 before making any pronouncements. If it doesn't go up, a C-section will happen anytime after I hit Week 37, which is anytime after 18 August.
Hari Raya is this weekend, and as always, we are not ready. I've given away our 8-year-old living room curtains. That was in May. And I was supposed to look for some light day curtains but until today, I haven't even started looking. I really like my curtainless window. The view is beautiful. But, lessons in Housekeeping 101 says that there must be some kind of window dressing for the windows. Aiyaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh...
Most of the Raya unreadiness is related to housekeeping issues. Curtains for living room. Bring down and clean and put up curtains in other rooms. Wash and change bedsheets. Organise kids' bookshelves. (Problem: Too many books; Additional problem: More books keep on appearing in the house.) Get plastic sheet for dining table. Clean the toilets. Clean window grills and sills. (Gonna cry now.)
TheHusband has gone back to work. It was a good almost-1.5 years of him not working. And when I became pregnant, it was even better having him around. He did all the cooking and housework (except vacuuming; he claimed his feet could not feel any dust.) I went to work and then became a vegetable upon my return. With him back at work, house chores is once again divided (though not equally, given my present condition) but I do wish he was still a stay-at-home-dad cos he could settle all the housework issues!
I'm feeling excessively sleepy now.
The pregnancy has made sleep difficult and as much as I know that I should sleep, I could not. So, the sleepy bug attacks me at all odd hours. Mostly when I'm in the staff room working away. But, never in class. Strange, right? There's also some kind of queasiness going on now. I always have the urge to vomit but when I do, it's mostly phlegm and saliva.
Gonna catch forty winks now.
Tata!
