@ 23 weeks

I am 5 months and 3 weeks pregnant. 6 months next week. Which means 3 more months to go. It’s getting closer and I am getting scared. :s

Nothing much since last update, but I have a picture of my tummy taken last week.

Tummy is definitely getting bigger and my navel, I think will soon start to stick out. It is now halfway out and it looks really weird. Baby’s punches and kicks are harder and he seems to be up all day, moving from one side to another. Loving it!

Husband and I still have not decided on baby’s name yet. I do not have any names in mind at the moment and I prefer to wait and look at baby first before deciding what name is suitable for him. A friends suggested that we shortlist a few and choose only when we’ve met him. We tried to sit and think of names with pen and paper ready, but we always end up making stupid jokes and wanting to name our baby some ridiculous names. I give up! Not going to put too much pressure on that. I am sure we will get to it when the time comes.

Shopping – Oh my oh my! I went crazy online earlier today looking at all the baby clothes I can buy for my baby! I seriously and desperately want to shop for him, but timing is not right . I found cowboy and fedora hats for 0-3 months and can already imagine my baby wearing hats at such a small age! How cute! I placed all the items I want in cart but I i did not check out of course. Lol the husband would probably kill me if he knows how much I am intending to spend on baby’s clothes ALONE. We have yet to buy the other necessary items like milk bottles, stroller and car seat. We have to do it soon though, since it is the Great Singapore Sale now.

I have been thinking about us moving out of 121 and moving to 216 in January 2011. Baby will be 3 months old by then, but the thought of staying at home, just me and baby scares me. For his first 3 months, my mum will still be with us so at least I know that if I have questions, my mum will be there to guide me. So once we’ve moved, I will be on my own. How do I shower during the day? I dont think I can leave my sleeping baby and take a shower. What if he wakes up and I can’t hear him? Oy goodness, I am being such a freak. I forced the husband to take at least a week leave after we  moved just so that I can adjust  to the new home and taking care of our baby all bymyself in our new home. I can’t imagine how it would be like. I feel so adult. Haha

Weight – I have gained a total of 9kg so far but I dont feel THAT heavy. I wonder how BIG I will get at 9 months. I hope I wont get too fat because then I will look like a giant. And how am I supposed to lose all the weight after giving birth? I heard so many frightening stories from my girlfriends who have given birth and none of them are nice. Lol. Good luck to me, I guess.

OH! Recently, husband and I have been watching kids whenever we are out. We will watch their behaviour and honestly, we are so so afraid that our baby will turn out to be loud and shrieky and cranky and will throw tantrum all the time. We saw kids like that and how their parents would beat and scream at them in public to make them stop crying immediately because they are embarassed that everyone’s looking. Please, I hope and pray that I won’t be like that. Insyallah.

Anyway, I want to publish this blog soon, for everyone to read. After I’ve sort the Nuffnang issue, I will and I shall! Going to surf and find out the price for the domain now. BYE!
