Week 29
Weight gained: 9kg
Feeling: Restless
Baby stats: >15", 2.5lbs
It's so strange how the stages of pregnancies work. For me, it went like this:1. Nausea
2. Exhaustion
3. Energy
4. Hunger
5. Nesting (current state)
Yes I have caught the nesting instinct and have been scouring the web for baby stuff, cleaning the house like crazy, and just trying to organize things in prep for the labour/baby. It's no wonder why I've been feeling more tired than usual. Then again, it could just be the effects of third trimester.
I've also noticed a significant change in baby movements. The feeling in my belly has progressed in the following manner:
1. Faint fluttering of butterfly wings
2. Popcorn popping
3. Erupting of a volcano (from what I can imagine this could feel like)
4. Large, strong limb jabs
Each time Baby Wu moves, it feels like a hand or foot is being dragged against me. She's a strong little girl! I also have a feeling she has changed positions (and is constantly doing so) as I've felt these currents more on the inside and up high. At times she will also stick out her elbow (at least that's what it feels like) and you can see it on my belly surface. It's really an amazing thing! Hopefully I can snap a photo of this soon.
Ok, not much else to report this week. Only 4 weeks until Christmas... can you believe it?!

my sister (mother of 2) shared with me what others have said about the first trimester of pregnancy: "the physical exertion that your body goes through to build the placentia in that first trimester is like hiking up a hill every single day. what sucks the most about it is that you're constantly exhausted, but have nothing to show for it, so all you can do is feel grumpy and tired."
so kudos to you, babe, cuz even the thought of hiking makes me tired! cheers!
your belly still looks great!! ;)
when she comes out, i want to see her dance moves! it's obvious she's been practicing! if it's the robot dance, we'll have to put her up against babyruthless in a dance-off.
