Past two weeks have been madness. We moved to our new home! Amidst the moving, the settling in, going to work and trying to get used to a new foreign place - life has been pretty hectic.
We took a 5 day long weekend over Anzac day, and even by spending everyday unpacking and tidying - the house is still not in place!
Oh we also managed to squeeze in a one-night trip to Cbr to vote. Yes - my first and last ever vote for the home country. What an experience.
-------------------------------------------
How far along? 31 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: + 15kgs. (haven't weighed myself in a while - but i have a feeling I've grown a bit)
Stretch marks? Not yet! Still applying lots of Clarins oil at night and the occasional cream in the day/after shower. I think it helps. I feel stretched though
Symptoms: My ribs hurt! Especially after a meal. I think the stomach pushes the uterus towards my ribs. Either that or baby likes to sit there. My back hurts from standing too long - which i did a lot when we were tidying and unpacking. I even did some heavy lifting during the few days we went crazy at ikea. Stupid move. I was alright - but in a hindsight, what a stupid thing to do. Constipation is back too - which is a pain. Anyway - i'm still glowing, the hair is still healthy (even better after the haircut!)
Sleep: Still the best sleep of my life. I've never looked forward to going to bed everyday. This is even with the 2-3 trips I make to the toilet in the middle of my sleep! Although I am beginning to get the odd night or two where I feel restless.
Best moment these 2 weeks: Nesting in full bloom. Been furnishing the place and dreaming of how else we can "do it up". This is so much fun! If only we have more money....
Have you told family and friends: Yes. I've also uploaded pictures on fb, though not "publishing" to the wider audience. My tummy has popped too - so it is pretty obvious I'm about to become a mummy.
Miss Anything? i miss alcohol. Work has been crazy and stressful - was totally hanging for a Gin and Tonic to take the edge off......
Movement: Felt baby's feet the other day - that's crazy! Baby doesn't kick as much but definitely moves a fair bit and is super strong too! Oh had 3 slices of cake the other day and that set baby off on a 20-second non0stop kick. Whoops!
Food cravings: None. I dread eating - the rib pain after is not worth the discomfort.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not sure about the smell of meat being cooked anymore. Our kitchen still hasn't been set up so we hardly have been cooking. Though some strong curry smell from work made me a little sick the other day.
Have you started to show yet: Yes! I have a big tummy and it's getting in everyone's way. I'm a bit cheeky that way - using it to bump Twitchy around.
Baby is a: GIRL!
Belly Button in or out? Still In. Getting shallower. I have a feeling it will pop soon.
Wedding rings on or off? On. Doesn't look like my finger are going to swell.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Highly stressed at the moment. Work is still busy and is taking a toll on me. I'm also finding that I'd rather stay home (in our new home) than work....Today I've advised work that I'm taking off a week earlier for my maternity leave. So my last day is the 7th of June! Between now and then, if things get too hard I might just get the OBGYN to give me MC to stay home.
Looking forward to: ......and Baby shower/house warming party in 3 weeks and my birthday in 2 weeks. Wow. and to continue fixing up the place and finally buying baby stuff!
