The baby's about 3 kgs! I've 4 more weeks to go and I'm getting really anxious. Sometimes I wonder if the baby will come out soon but then I also wonder if I'm prepared. It's really mind-boggling. At times I feel like I'm ready and at times... not. All I do know now is that I get exhausted easily and I'm always perspiring!!! I've been taking lots of fish in these last trimester, read somewhere that the baby's brain development will need it. No harm trying :)

Got to go back to preparing my project.. not much time left to finish it!!!!

Haven't been blogging for quite a while! Been soooo busy at work and double at home with my school projects to complete and tests to study for!! I had quite a scare on Sunday, my right foot swelled to double its normal size ! I hadn't realised it until I was putting on my shoe to go to mass. I thought something was wrong for a moment, a quick scramble to the phone allayed my fears, "It's just water retention!" said my more experienced friends. "You're lucky you didn't get it till now!" quipped another.... ok, ok, I got the picture. Still I was kinda scared, but 2 days later, it went down... thank God for that. I wasn't in the mood to go shopping for sandals that I'd wear just for a month or even less!!

The baby is due in 5 week's time, that is if the little fella's co-operative. I just can't wait! It's just that all these extra weights that I'm carrying is really very taxing on my back. Sleeping is quite a challenge too! I cannot seem to find the right position to get comfortable and when I finally do, the little one will either be kicking or pushing his feet hard at my ribcage which causes me wake up with a start! Sigh! I'm looking more and more like a panda with my black eyes and all.

I'm really hoping the baby will come out soon...
