Sleepyhead...

Well, i'm into my 34 weeks of pregnancy this week - 6 more weeks to D-Day. I somehow have a feeling that Bebe may arrive earlier than the EDD of 10 Sep... but hopefully not too early coz i really want to stretch my leave to only return to work after the 2nd week of March (so that i can avoid the annual Budget debate which will be high-stress and high-blur since i am out of the action for quite a long while).

With my belly getting heavier, i'm also feeling lazier and becoming a sleepyhead. i went to bed at about 10.30pm last night and woke up at 6.30am this morning (8hrs of sleep, with only 1 toilet break in between) but still woke up feeling sleepy! Just put me on a bed and i'll happily doze off... well, i hope Bebe 'inherits' some of the sleepyhead phenomenon from me especially during the night! Then we can save on eye-gels, concealers etc for panda eyes! haha!

I also experienced the Braxton Hicks contractions late last week. It started off with cramp-like pulls albeit at irregular intervals which made me a bit worried. But having read the pregnancy bible (ie, What to expect when you are expecting), i was quite sure they were Braxton Hicks contractions. Of course, when i told Chee Meng about it, he was like "go check with Dr Chew". I didn't really want to do that coz i'll be seeing Dr Chew tomorrow anyway and i can check with him then. And due to the irregularity of the pullings, i am not too worried. Of course, being a member of the Internet generation, i did my due diligence of googling about Braxton Hicks contractions. So when many sites indicated that the contractions could be due to dehydration and being in the same position for too long, i prompted gulped water and walked around a bit. Don't think it helped though.. so i decided not to be too worried about it and just take it as it came. Luckily, the pulling didn't continue till the weekend and i was able to do my usual weekend shopping.

I also had the ambitious plan of taking photographs of Bebe's furniture and uploading it here. But of course, i was too preoccupied with sleep to do anything. I shall attempt to do it next weekend but again, i'm not too hopeful as my aunt will be visiting (primarily to see my bump) and i envisage the weekends will be spent shopping in town and of course, indulging in my mahjong game! But i shall try...
