30 wks + 5 days

My uterus had inflated to the size of a watermelon, housing an energetic infant, half a pound of placental goo and a thick umbilical cord. I can't even fit into one of my maternity pants now! I guess I will have to drop by the maternity shop like Maternity Exchange to grab a couple of pants and blouses.

Our lil one has been growing well. She was 1.6kg on her last Saturday checkup. By today, I bet she would have gained a bit as I've been feeding myself with good food. The gynae had also mentioned about the EDD to be on the 13th October 2005. That's like 2 months from now. Time really flies!

I had a nasty leg cramp yester'nite. But since this wasn't the first time, I managed to clear it within minutes myself by slowly lifting my leg up and putting it back down again. I realised that the cramps happened when I stretched my legs too sudden. And it only happened with my left leg.

We had also been buying stuffs for the baby. Not much but the essential ones like bottles, steriliser, cotton buds. Of course, there are still many things we have yet to buy like her nappy rash cream, diapers, etc but that will happen when it's September.

I have also made a couple of choices to have a natural birth for the lil one and as soon as she's born, I'm going to breastfeed her. :)

As I'm typing this, I'm letting her listen to some songs. She wriggled initially and more movements were felt at certain parts of some songs. hehe.
