I am getting heavy…does that sound familiar yet? Besides the husband saying so, I surely am feeling heavier. Can't climb up the stairs as fast as I could now….mengah! Some days I feel light but some days like today, I feel heavy!
I have gained 10 lbs so far. Not too bad for someone whos 4 mths preggy. I know this is just the beginning. The husband's co workers wife is 4.5 mths preggy with their first child does not even have her belly as big as mine. But hey, that’s her first baby, her tummy muscles are still strong and firm unlike me, jiggly wiggly and the baby has tonnes of room to grow after the other 2! But I told the husband I am happy that my tummy is big, who cares if I am bigger than someone who's 5 mths preggy, I am preggy and that’s all that matters yeah?
I had to sleep bottomless last night. #1, it was hot! #2, no pajama pants could fit me! The only ones I have that can still fit me, is in the laundry basket. It’s a size M which I bought from Victoria's Secret. Others, nope, can't fit no more. Tried the husband's boxers, nope, not stretchable enough for my movement. The butt still fits but the tummy wouldn’t! So there, bottomless, such liberation like what Nazrah says hehehe.
My appetite is bottomless too, but I only eat 3 meals a day with very little snacks. The thing is, when I start eating, I don’t stop. I think I can complete a 3-4 course lunch with no help needed! And then that’s when after it I would hunt for fruits or sour gummy worms. The baby will start doing somersaults 30 mins after food. Jabbing, jumping, kicking, boxing, whatever it can do it say thank you to me hehehe.
Sleeping is my favorite pastime as we all know. I can take 3 hour naps without feeling guilty. And then still sleep at 8pm. The only problem I have is stuffy nose. Theory says that pregnant women tend to get rhinitis, swollen mucus membrane when they're pregnant which means that there is mucus forming 'down there' too which they say is good? Well, I am having difficulty breathing every night and that’s good? I can't take Sudafed as it is not encouraged to be dependent on drugs when you're pregnant, Saline nose drops don’t work, so the ultimate solution now is nasal strips, which sometimes don’t work if you don’t place them properly on your nose to open up your air passage.
Oh and I tend to realize that my nails, hair and hair (ahemm) grow faster than usual. Thanks to the multiple hormones. So my razor has been busy every morning just so that I could wear my sleeveless tops and dresses to fight the hot weather. Please don’t even think of looking hard at my eyebrows…way too bushy…not going to the salon till next week, before Singapore trip.
20 more minutes to lunchtime. I need my lunch time brisk walk (not that 'brisk' now but still a walk lah) and I need to smell the air outside. Tummy rumbling…still don’t know what to eat.

Hi Ely,
Dropping by for the first time. Cool blog:) Shall drop by again soon.
Oh, BTW, noticed that our blogs' design is similar. But mind is on friendster. Thinking of moving it to blogspot so that it'll be easier for people to comment, still trying to figure out how to do that without changing the design and layout though, hehe...
hehheh akak,
one solution : tidoq pakai kain batik atau kain pelikat... lega lapang and airy(berangin lagi) hehehehehe
interesting that 1na mentions the sarong. memang sejuk babe. and it fits most sizes n will definitely be roomy enuff to the final stretch of ur pregnancy. now, how do we tie that batik sarong again please?
eleh baru besar tu dah ekshen eh...tunggula 3 bulan lagi twin...hehe. baru lu tau besar tu macamana...
anyway, love the spirit, love the spunk even when the nose is cranky eh.
MG, yes i do can u believe it? thats the last thing i was thinking about!
mammal, actually, tidur naked lagi liberating!
hazia, welcome to my blog! yes we do seem to have similar template. do come here more often ok!
BTB, hoi, apedah! hehehe
1na, yes i tried that. but it was too hot and when i ikat the sarong, i felt that the sarong was constricting my tummy, so i took it out!
twin, yup, i keep asking that myself...3 more mths, triple the trouble!
I can imagine the heavy part. Your story is so cute lah!!! I had difficulty to move at 7 month onward. Too heavy to carry.:-)
