WEEK 35 DAY 5
I'm officially in my 9th month of pregnancy, and counting down to just 31 days from my EDD. :))
So far, aside from the detailed scan we did in my 20th week, we haven't been able to confirm the size of our baby. Estimated size of the baby should be approximately 2.5kg. Little stretch marks are evident on both sides of my tummy and underneath my breasts now and the creams don't seem to help much. For the baby, he has changed his sleeping patterns and has converted to a night baby. He wakes up when I'm going to bed and has series of hiccups throughout the day. A little weird getting little spasms in my tummy all day long but it apparently is a good sign of development.
We did our preggy photoshoot with the Studio Loft in my 34th week and to me, it was a day of liberation. The husband had to convince me on the semi-nude shots (daddys are not allowed for the nude shots) but the pictures turned out fine thankfully. Honestly, it sure felt weird having to bare a naked body infront of the photographer.
And to date, we have installed the car seat, half packed the hospital bag, made arrangements for a new maid and am getting panicky, realizing there are much more to do. I went on a washing craze one day and washed/ironed all the baby's clothes, towels and hankies. Next up, the bedding sheets, pillows and bolsters. And, we haven't fixed the changing station, the stroller, the cot and most importantly, I haven't planned my maternity leave. Oh no.
