Yummie Mummie

Week 25

I had my doc's appointment yesterday and everything seems to be progressing well! To our surprise the doc did a scan and we got to see Chhotuu kicking around...and i could feel it at the same time as well this time around :o) Apparently the more active the baby is the better. So eventhough the movements 24-7 are not THAT thrilling anymore, i'm still glad to have them! Bee Pee-shee peee all good...belly growing round and round...have my blood sugar test in 3 weeks to check for gestational diabetes.

I've always been big on food but these days i'm either eating, planning what to eat or dreaming of eating...so i hope the golu-molu belly @ the moment is coz of a golu-molu baby inside and not just coz of all the yummie food i've been eating! I've put on a little over 3 Kilos in the last month and it sure looks more than that!
Saw a cute little baby gurl in a red n white frilly bummy frock with her mum in the park today at lunch time....can't wait to have my little one and go for long walks :o) Sweetheart whether you're a Girl or Boy...Mattu masi has decided that you'll have to wear a frock anyways!

Chhotuu Singh now lives in a BIG BUMP

Week 24

23 February 2009

The Sixth month has crept in and the “fluttering” has ceased and full-on “kicking” has started! I don’t know what Chhotuu Singh is doing in the little space inside but surely there is a lot of gymnastics going on in there! And yes, Chhotuu Singh is our current fav nickname for lil pea…and in no way does it indicate surety of the baby being a Singh and not a Kaur. I just think Chhotuu Singh is cuter than Chhotee Kaur :o)
It’s like our daily showtime routine…the movements are so pronounced now that you can see my belly move in all possible directions with all the nudging and the kicking inside…leave alone feeling it you can SEE it now. And it makes things even more exciting!
But strangely for the past few days I’ve been feeling a little low and anxious and hummmmm…just really bored with everything! Preggy hormones I blame. So this weekend I thought I’ll do a lot of reading and relaxing…started with my bible for these 9 moths – “What to expect when you’re expecting” and there it was on the beginning of the Sixth month page – “a feeling of being bored with your pregnancy” and “feeling anxious about the future”. Thanks God! And I was thinking I was being very unmotherly..hah!!
My Bump is getting bumpier with each passing day as our dear little baby is growing big cheeks…or so I hope. I get friends and colleagues rubbing my belly and talking about how I’m feeling, what I’m planning etc etc. I guess it’s hard for everyone not to mention the bump while having a conversation with me since my bump is so out there now!
Sleeping isn’t much of an issue yet but turning is…so I find myself sleeping in the same position all night at times. The occasional leg cramps are not pleasant early in the mornings…when I wake up screaming with pain and hubby dear –half asleep- starts to rub the wrong leg…lol…
And as far as cravings go...hummmmm…feels more like Prev is ahead of me in that department. Just yesterday he had a sudden craving for some Gelato right before dinner time…and ofcourse! Like a good wifey I took him out for some. After all we’re both pregnant and in this together...aren’t we?
