BACKACHES!! BACKPAINS!! aaarghhh......!!! That's my complain these days. Guess my back's really tired with all that arching and weight it's carrying. I can feel pain in my hips too and I just realised that it could be because of the shift in pelvic bones to get my body 'ready' for the baby's passage. Another of God's miracles!
Irony in pregnancy - To reduce water retention in your body - drink more water!!
You'd think that the body will retain water if it has too much of it!

Lunch! Just had my fill of over-cooked cabbage, tough-chicken and some oily porkchops!! Can't believe that I actually ate that stuff! But haven't got much of a choice since I got someone to buy my lunch for me. Next time I'll get a vegetarian to do it, hopefully something more healthy! I was feeling tired and my backaches are getting more and more frequent now. Almost everyday, every hour, .. maybe the chair in the office is not ergonomically designed - that's my guess. Apart from the frequent backaches and the exploding-tummy feelings that I get now and then, I really enjoyed my second trimester!
I'll be going into the third trimester soon and don't really know how that will be. Heard a lot of horror stories about it, more backaches for one, more heartburns, more pains when walking coz of the baby's shifting weight towards the pelvic bone.
Sleeping is pretty tough these days... well actually trying to find the comfortable position is the tough part! Apart from that, sleeping comes pretty naturally coz I'm so tired by day end.

These past few days have been but a blurr to me, had so much work to do that I'm practically having nightmares about work!! Even in my train journeys home I plan what to do for the next day. Everything has been put into my lap now. All projects seem to be "URGENT" and since I've only 2 months more to go before I deliver, all projects have to be completed before then no matter how late they handed them over to me!! Ridiculous.
I got this from a wonderful friend today. To be identified as a beautiful woman is really wonderful, it helped cheer me up a bit ....
Beautiful Woman
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen within her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole.
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years-only grows!

I got this in the email this morning and I thought I'd share it with whoever that reads my blog... It's something we all should be aware of so read on...
LIFE AS A JUGGLER
In a university commencement address several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one's other commitments:
"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit ¡V and you're keeping all of these in the air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
How?
o Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each
of us is special.
o Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
o Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
o Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
o Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
o Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.
o Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
o Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
o Don't run through life so fast that you forget Not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
o Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
o Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
o Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

I am feeling kind of troubled ... Someone has asked me for 'advise' and I don't think I am qualified enough to give it, someone much older.. .. How do I advise anyone when I, myself am still grappling with the similar situation? All I could do was share my life experience.. which isn't very much when compared to the person who was seeking it! Life is so complicated and I am just making sense of it or at least I thought I was making some sense out of what's happening but everytime I think I've settled a little, the dust flies again!
Why is it so difficult? Why do I feel so sad for this person? How can I help? These questions keep coming back to me again and again and I hope and pray that with God's help that what I have shared so far will be interpreted correctly by the person seeking it! That maybe some of what I have written will appear to make some sense... I hope and pray it does.
