20 Weeks!

How far along?: 20 Weeks

*Maternity clothes?: Like all the time, am running out of fitting ones though and I hate the “tents” that now only seem to only fit.

*Sleep?: Awkward. I use 4 pillows and turn every 3 hours…

*Best moment this week? Knowing am half-way there, and finding a cheap store to buy good quality baby stuff.

*Movement?: small small ones. Strange that I am not feeling them as much as last month…or it is coz am so busy I seem to never settle down lest am going to bed.

*Food cravings?: I hate everything.

*Labor signs?: Nope.

*Belly button in or out?: half innie-half outie

*What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach, exercising and sleeping late.

*What I’m looking forward to: knowing my birth plan and shopping for baby.

*Feelings this week: fatigue- I want to stay home all day and do nothing. After my first shopping, I now feel mummyish…

18 weeks

The little man has become amazingly mobile, passing the hours yawning, hiccupping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. Well, littlest is also becoming not so little and now weighs about 150g, a little more than the size of a sweet potato.

This little man has been moving kinda a lot lately, and this for some reason, sends me to the porcelain seat a little more often than usual (remember its already unusual at this stage) yet...

…..and the cleavage, my word! My boobs are on fire. They itch like crazy and are as turgid as water balloon. I cannot ever dare wear a push-up bra. Am all the way up to a cup E from DD!!

Am somewhat not too stressed about people touching my belly. I touch it a lot myself and mama was telling me yesterday that I over touch it… well when the lil’ man is kicking… I feel things, things.

Aunt Lucy had Leon exactly 19 day ago and he is such an angel. Hope you will be buddies, online buddies at least (wink)

IT'S A BOY!!!!

My oh my... i cannot contain myself. I am having a boy. I have like a gazillion names swinging in my head and am still teary eyed from the 3D pictures i have plastered on my desk.

Oh God is gracious and faithful!

16 Weeks Baby!

Oh glorious…. I could not wait to get here and we are here baby…and you have wasted no time in showing your excitement too… what with all the fluttters and nudging these days.

You are about the size of an Avocado and I now need to watch what i say because tiny bones forming in your ears thus you can now pick up my voice….i am so gonna sing for you…woooohoooo…. Your eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are also forming.

Today I am scheduled for a 3D ultra sound and I could easily check the gender…but I am not sure… I do not want false information.. so I might wait till next month… unless you are a boy which will make it easier to see…ohhhhh… unbelievable!
But oh have I gotten big…eish. My love for beans is growing each day, but interestingly though I am discovering new local dish delicacies I had ignored, like Malewa (Bamboo shoots), Byenda (cow intestines) and Ntula (whats the English name for those things? Hehehe).

Gotta run, my appointment is in 30 mins… laterz
