have developed a painful patch of stretched skin on the top left side of my belly that's making me wake up in the middle of the night without fail when i sleep on my left, feeling a sharp pain. the weird thing is that there is no visible redness on my skin ... now that baby is making my tummy bigger, i am getting very diligent with slathering on the moisturiser and l'occitane body oil that my mum got me. supple stretchy skin will keep the stretch marks away!! 6 more weeks to find out if the oil does its work. also, with a watermelon belly, bending down / bending over (even to pick up a dropped pen or put on my shoes) is now quite a challenge. thankfully the guys at work have been helping me when i clumsily drop stuff on the floor.
baby is really moving around much more frequently now ... at work i always have to pat baby to calm her down during meetings .... it's nice to have company though. :)
we are slowly but surely getting through the baby shopping list! going to get a hand me down carseat which will save us quite a bit, and steriliser/bottles are all bought. now the remaining big ticket items would be the baby carrier and possibly a stroller, but we haven't decided if we need the latter yet.
also waiting to put up the framed posters in baby's room .... bought the carrie chau posters way back in 2008 in HK, so am really pleased to finally put them to use.
