Baby Shower - 33 weeks!

Here I am 33 weeks pregnant! Next to me is Thuy, who's 37 weeks pregnant. This is taken on May 25 - my baby shower! I had a great time. We had a small group of close friends. Alice organized the shower and had it at her house. I can't thank her enough! She's such a dear friend to me and she's like a sister to me. The shower was everything I wanted. We had great food, fun games (Bingo!), great company, and everyone's so generous! Our baby girl is already getting spoiled!

what I've been going through this week - 32 weeks

A few days ago, I discovered that I can no longer wash dishes. The belly is in the way, and my back aches. I started to walk a lot slower too. Tim & Mom always reminded me to get up slowly and walk slowly.. well, no need to remind me! I can't go faster than a turtle anyways! I am pretty big compare to my pre-pregnancy size and I know I still have a lot of growing to do :D

We have a few warm days this week. I was excited to wear dresses and sandals - at least I thought so until I found... My feet got bigger! They were actually swollen! I guess I can't complain too much, it's not too bad.. I just need new shoes :-)

I also got carpal tunnel syndrome. This is very annoying. I woke up at night one day feeling pain on my hand, and it hasn't gone away since!

Otherwise, I am feeling great! At the last doctor's appointment, the doctor said her head is down now. I hope she stays this way but then.. she's so active I wouldn't be surprised to find her in a different position next week.

31 Weeks

Wow.. I look pretty big in this picture! I think it might be the angle the picture was taken... but I am getting bigger! (btw, she's totally moving around right now. I can feel her little fingers and bum... it's so weird.)

I am getting a bit tired these days. I sleep very light... I think she moved a lot which kind of kept me up. I get up tired and I start feeling sleepy around 3pm. I also noticed that I started to waddle when I walk. I am still feeling great otherwise. Last week, I had a dream that I felt her moving her body around and moved head down. It was probably because she was moving around so much. We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so I guess we'll find out if she had indeed moved.

Sensitive but "invisible" belly - 30 Weeks

Wow! I am now 30 weeks pregnant! Only 10 more weeks to go! I am so excited!
I actually don't look very pregnant.. well, according to most people and not including my husband. I look at my baby bump and hope my baby better grow fast!

That being said, I tends to FORGET that I am bigger. When I try to squish in between a chair and a wall, I always thought "that's plenty of room, I can get through it". WELL! I got through alright, but my belly suffers! It's much more sensitive than I would imagine. >_<
