my cousin just gave birth to a National Day baby girl. =) think both of us had similar Expected Due Dates, so her baby is probably a little premature by a couple of weeks. hope both of them are healthy & well! wonder if her baby will get a gold merlion or something as momento...?

and im into the 35th week now. time for some coconuts.

FYI: having coconuts few weeks before delivery is believed to aid in a smooth delivery & the baby in arriving "clean", without the white stuff or blood all over.

for the past 7+ months, i had been lucky cos my pregnancy had been smooth. no major symptoms that made me feel really terrible. 

but since a couple of weeks ago, the symptoms seem to hit me like combo, all in one shot. my feet swell and my wrist hurt due to the water retention, my mood go on a roller-coaster ride every other day, my back is breaking and i feel like an elephant. sleeping gets uncomfortable cos of Baby Tan squashing my organs. when i finally manage to fall asleep, i start having nightmares/weird dreams. =( 

 

i think the nervousness is getting to me and affecting my sleep. got to distract myself with other thoughts!
