Tempting fate ....

Ahh yes, 38 weeks pregnant .. and I HAVE to walk around the zoo ... lol .. it's the holidays, man ... I need to bring my girls out .. went to the new Kidszworld ... awesome !! They had an enjoyable time with their old time friends .. John and Anna .. :) Claudia has known them since we were all in the States together ..

at home ...

Ah yes, and after this photo, I had such a tough time getting up off the floor ... lol :)

I had some spotting today ... methinks I won't make it to the 3rd of the Dec - my edd - oh dear. I haven't done A LOT of stuff ... I have yet to buy my Maxi Cosi Infant car seat .. (darn) ... and have my eyebrows trimmed ... (yes I am vain, I don't want pictures of me and bebe with my ugly un-trimmed eyebrows)

The spotting (brown) is usually a sign of impending labour ... I read that it can happen within the next 2 weeks so .. who knows - I may still make it to the 3rd of Dec after all.

Damn it ... there goes my plan to bring my girls to the zoo on Monday (Stanley asked me if I wanted to have my baby at the zoo) and IKEA Tampines on Tuesday ...

I'll keep u guys updated :)

37 weeks ...

Hubby says I shouldn't be posting a pic of my tummy online ... it's not porn .. it's not even exciting looking ... just a huge tummy ... lol.

Luckily I'm er, plump, to begin with .. so no stretch marks :) wooo hooo .. that's the ONLY advantage to being er, plump ..

sigh ...

I'm waiting ... I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow .. I love being pregnant but I'm also anxious to see my baby :) I was just thinking of doing a maternity shoot ... when hubby suddenly asks me in the car yesterday ... "Do we want to go for Baby No. 5?" ...

hahahahahaha!

At the time, it wasn't funny cos I just have this week and probably the nezt to make up my mind and book the package to do the shoot before I pop.

My response was ... "WHHHHHHHHAAAT?!!!!!" --- and then I went .. "But I want to book a maternity photo shoot .. Can u pls decide and let me know so I can call them up to book ASAP?"

I thought we had decided already on the baby bit ... obviously I thought wrong ..

It's not that I absolutely don't want another baby ... I really would love to have more kids .. but time doesn't seem to be on my side .. I'll be 35 right after Christmas this year .. if we go for another baby, I'll probably give birth when I'm 37 ...

Yes, yes it's not that old .. but I always envisioned myself to be free and easy at that age .. not running after a little one ..

Anyway, we still have time to THINK ABOUT IT. lol :)

My gynae says I don't have to do the ligation procedure right after I give birth .. I can always come back to her in a year or 2 when we decide for sure ... while that sounds like a good plan, the slight flaw with that plan is if I get pregnant FIRST ...

Oh well.

Then we'll really have to buy a mini-bus ...

SO cute !!!

I had lunch with a friend at United Square yesterday ... and then of course, we walked around the kiddy shops looking at clothing .. I saw this at Gingersnaps and fell in love with it immediatedly !! It's meant for my new girl .. I bought it in size "6 months" ...

I was pleasantly surprised to learn from the sales lady that Gingersnaps is from the Phillipines ... they have some really lovely, lovely and sometimes quirky stuff .. and the material is so suitable for the weather here ... it's soooo soft and comfy .. :)

36th week appt ...

and my gynae claims my baby is still ok sized at this point .. 3 kg .. and that it's unlikely she'll hit 3.9kg in the next 4 weeks ...

huh. I hope she's right ... baby seems bigger and longer than Emily in my tummy .. I can feel her every movement .. and guess what? For the first time in all my pregnancies, I have heartburn ... well, not all the time .. but a good part of the day ... it's not too bad .. I can still ignore it and eat .. but I'm just amazed that I even have it ..

I usually have none of the stuff that plague pregnant women (besides the 1st trimester nausea which I've had the misfortune of having for all my pregnancies) ... so this time it's slightly different - with my heartburn - ... and baby feels really bigger in my tummy which btw is also bigger .. I've only gained about 5 kg so far ... in total ... so thank goodness for that .. but she seems to be taking up a hell of a lot of space in my ever expanding tummy ... my tummy still can expand some more .. since I am on the large side .. so no stretch marks for me .. but I can feel her all the way up near my ribcage right down to my pelvis ..

I'm still hoping to high heaven that she'll be 3.4kg at birth ... lol :)

Me and my pink girls

Here we are .. we spent the afternoon at Sentosa with Daddy and took a round trip cable car ride .. :) the girls LOVED it and my maid was initally terrified cos we got the glass bottomed cabin.
