Pregnancy Journal: Weeks 29 - 32

i'm getting both nervous and excited about delivery. All that information i've been reading online and hearing from friends - about the difficulties of breastfeeding, lack of sleep, a 24hr crying baby, makes it almost seem like the 9 months of pregnancy is the easiest part of the parenthood journey.

But nonetheless, at 31weeks, it's getting more difficult to breathe, especially when lying down to get some sleep, walking can sometimes be a pain (literally) and I have officially stopped going to the gym and off the elliptical stepper simply because i'm getting too heavy. Swimming is all I can afford to do now - though it sometimes seem to exacerbate my spinal discomfort. Whenever i have to walk for more than a block, i always make sure i have an umbrella with me, which double functions as a walking stick because sometimes, I would have a very sharp pain going up my tailbone. And I never know when the pain is going to hit.

Adrianna, I can feel you kicking and stretching on both sides of my tummy now. I guess it's getting crowded in there, innit? I secretly pray that you would be aligned the right way down in time for delivery so mummy wouldn't have to go through a c-section. Simply because it sounds too scary.

Mummy is thinking of getting you some newborn photography so that you can have something to ooh and aah about when you're older. :)
