Random Thoughts

I'm grabbing Peachy's formatting on how she gives an update on her pregnancy.

The Little Princess - She is getting active everyday! She kicks even at the wee hours of the morning. When I try to put music on my tummy she kicks it like she doesn't want it. LOL! Based on my checkup last Thursday, my OB said that her weight is just right on the 24th week. Not too big, not too small either. And guess what my OB told me? Her heartbeat is like a baby boy's! Hmmmm...

My Food and Weight - I gained around 4-5 lbs from last month. Just right. My OB was happy to know that too. She said that I can gain around 1-2 lbs/week. I know I've been eating a LOT last month and we've been from one party to another. So this month and the next couple of months I will watch my diet and blood sugar. I will be eating only half rice each meal but will load myself with veggies and fruits. I will try to avoid JUNK foods too! So goodluck to me. :D Oh, I had decaf and light cafe mocha from Figaro last night and boy, I felt like my cravings were now over (I hope!). I miss coffee so much but will try to avoid it (even decaf) for the next three months.

How do I look now!? - I look awful. Pimples (and I mean, really BIG pimples) are like everywhere on my face. I've never experienced this when I was pregnant with Alex. I didn't need an acne scar treatment right after I gave birth. My hair has been oily too, that's why you would always catch me with a damp hair! Aarrrgh.
My weight may be lighter than when I was 24th week before but boy, I feel bigger now and my legs are HUUUGE. And I could feel the baby's weight already unlike before that I only felt the baby's weight on my 9th month.

How is Ate Alex coping up? - Well, sometimes she acknowledges a baby inside my tummy and sometimes she would laugh at it and would say, "Haha, big tummy, Mama!". We are teaching her to share her toys and stuff starting now so she wouldn't have a hard time when the baby comes. When I try to carry her she would say, "Heavy, heavy, I'm heavy, Mama!". How sweet right? Although she looks for her Dada and Yaya now more than me. :( I guess will just have to spend more and more time with her just before the baby comes.

On this pregnancy I can feel that time flies so fast. I couldn't believe that I'm on my 6th month already (except for my bulging tummy and humongous legs of course!). I guess 3 months is just around the corner. I better prepare the baby stuff and her room so I won't cram when the big day comes! :)
