Third Tri - 30 weeks

How time flies ! Sorry that I have not been updating this blog. I am already into the third trimester.

It's amazing how the three trimesters bring you totally different feelings.

1st tri - really trying to get use to the fact that your body is growing and expanding plus the fatigue (fortunately no morn sickness!)

2nd tri - The moment you enter this phase, your body really picks up on energy. Sometimes, you forget that you have a little bump.

3rd tri - Energy level dips. You get tired easily and the growing bump slows you down. My feet are starting to swell, especially if you walk a lot. I feel like a whale!

Last gynae checkup was in February and baby is growing well, weighing 1.3kg! I was a little concerned about the baby movements as I think I didn't feel baby kick at least 10 times a day which according to the gynae, baby should and many mummies have been complaining that they cannot sleep at night due to active baby. I pray and hope that the baby is good. I must have been walking too much as I cannot really feel baby's movement unless I sit down and really try to be aware of the kicks.

Mummy has been busy shopping for essentials - Cot, steriliser, diapers, nappies etc! Clothes! I cannot get enough of buying his clothes ( they are so cute!) but at the same time have been trying to control myself as was advised by experienced mummies that they outgrow really fast and DO NOT overbuy!

Baby cot has been purchased. I bought the Vermont white cot for him. Initially I went to the shop at People's park and was advised supplier stopped shipment for white colour and I was super disappointed as I had been eyeing this Cot all along!

Fortunately I bumped into my cousin at Taka who asked me to check out with the bon bebe guy. Luckily they had stock! Best thing was they had promotions at the taka baby fair and I bought it at the Taka baby fair 2014! :) How lucky.

I also purchased the Philips Avent 3-in-1 steriliser set from Kiddy Palace.

We are also happy to have collected hand-me-down stroller, play pens and bouncing chair. Such well maintained items come in really handy since they outgrow it very quickly and we are trying to cut down on expenses as we need to spend on baby and house at the same time!

I was also introduced to a diaper brand, Goo.n. Already made a purchase on http://www.diapers.com.sg/ and if all is good, will continue to order from this convenient website! Their purchase is really hassle free and delivery was very quick!

Yesterday, I felt the baby hiccup and it was really cute. It is rhythmic and for quite a while. According to the gynae, the baby's head has already turned downwards which is great news.

Now Mummy and daddy are also busy preparing for house renovation and targeting to move in for confinement. Seriously hope that it can be achieved.

Mummy has also signed us up for a maternity shoot tgt with baby shoot package. I am so fat now but I hope the photos turn out nice. We should be taking the shots on 29 March. Will share the photos soon!

Otherwise, all is good. Most of the big items have already been purchased. I need to do up a wish list as friends have been asking for it. I am so blessed to have such nice friends! :)

Looking forward to meeting our little one in May but I am also anxious about the whole delivery and taking care of the baby.

Hopefully I will have time to update my thoughts!

Till the next update. :)
