Sympathy pregnancy...on the internet, psychologists say that this is due to husbands trying to take the pain away from their wives. It is also said that this is bonding time between, the husband, wife and the baby.
Why did I even mention sympathy pregnancy? Cos it is getting more apparent now that the husband is growing more than me. The circumference of his tummy is 3 inches larger than mine. Some friends are beginning to ask if it was him whos pregnant or me. Cos it also seems like he is the one whos craving instead of me and he was the one feeling so 'out of the weather' in my first trimester compared to me. (ps. I am craving for apple pie now!).
So yesterday the husband asked,'So in December, my weight should go away when the supposedly sympathy pregnancy is over right?' and I said,'Well, I lost 27 lbs before I got pregnant but you didn’t. I am sure I would lose my weight after I give birth, don’t know about you!'.
Theres nothing much to update about my physical factor right now besides feeling depressed of not being able to buy more clothes just cos I don’t fit into the regular clothes. Can't buy them fall boots cos I am too clumsy for them, can't even walk in the mall for too long cos I would feel lightheaded and would prefer the bed instead. Bed? Can't sleep in one position for too long as my hips and legs would hurt. And the queen sized bed is definitely too small for us and the cats now that I have been nagging for a bigger bed!
Am I whining too much already? Wait I have more...I waddle and can't walk fast but I can surely walk long distance. This means that my body is telling me to slow down. I am also due for a 'promotion' (ahemm) which needs to be done before I go for my maternity leave as I would be moved to a totally new office in the city when I come back to work. Which also means that I have to be moved to a totally new section and learn new things. We will be interviewing the lady who supposedly will be replacing me this week and I would be included in the panel interview. The boss told me that I will be fully responsible in looking for the 'perfect replacement' for him and he does not want any skill glitches when I move to another section. Actually, I know secretly he does not want me to move but he has no choice and needs me in another office to be his 'eyes and ears'. Besides the 'pregnancy brain' (absentmindedness) that I am having, I am sure learning new things at this time will be oh so dandy!
Enough of pregnancy talk, we had a good time last weekend. Besides grocery shopping and potential bed shopping, we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium to see the great white shark which is in captivity. Nothing great about it...this little guy was tiny. Yes…little…I think the sea turtle was bigger than this one! Here are some pictures. No sun by the ocean…just some fog as usual until we reached Gilroy.

Ely dear. I always come to read lately without any trace.
You are looking good dear. Big but sweet as always..:-)
nef, long time no see! memang mengah! and i am tired all the time now. thank you, insyaAllah, safe journey it will be.
MR, i feel besar!!!!!!! but i love to flash my naked perut to my daughter, she would scream and yell being so terrified hehehe. the word penat is always in my mind!
AM, thank you for visiting regardless of trace or not. sometimes theres no sweetness in me esp when i am in a crabby mood hehehe.
kak ely,
rasanya perut sy masa second pregnancy lagi besar dari akak. banyak air ketuban jer. bila nak bersalin and air dah keluar banyaknye, baru la nampak perut tu kecik, baby sy hanya 2.99kg. tapi perut sy besar benor.
anyway, akak kelihatan berseri-seri la. sungguh. ;)
Ely, you're definitely glowing!! :) And congrats on the promo!
Hope all is well at your end.
My hubby craves more than i do everytime I am pregnant. And during my 1st pregnancy, he was the one who felt dizzy...heh. And Dear Ely, you do look great!
The baby is gonna be semangat, eh?? But mommy's looking healthy, as always!
Wah, your rants all sound so familiar to me. Hey, you looks good and is that your eldest?
