34 weeks and counting
the kicks hurt sometimes too
Current Mood:
Esctatic & 
Sickly
Being eight months pregnant is starting to become a bit painful. My back aches, my feet ache, my legs cramp, my heartburn burns… it’s never-ending! But then I pass by my kitchen and catch a glimpse of the ultrasound pictures and the pain goes away.
Sleeping at night has become harder and walking like a penguin has become funnier. 
I have less than 6 weeks to go and I hope the delivery goes smoothly. The pregnancy has gone so smoothly! I had very little morning sickness. In fact, there was only one day where I was sick the entire day and it was due to motion sickness and a bad breakfast. Cravings were minimal too and have calmed down. Everyday in the summer I wanted sliced cucumbers with lime, salt and chili powder… yumm! :yummy:
Bubu and I signed up for those childbirth education classes and those are coming up next month. Last week I went to the hospital because I had some spotting but it turns out everything was fine. It was funny when my mom came to pick me up and I handed her the camera as a “just in case” and she said, “oh honey, if it was time you wouldn’t even remember your shoes!” I guess I have to pack a suitcase soon no? In all the movies, the pregnant woman says, “it’s time” and the hubby picks up some suitcase and runs out the door.
What to pack in the suitcase? Extra clothes for mom and baby I would guess. I’m still going to keep wearing the maternity jeans and tops, they are ever-so comfortable! I recently ordered a maternity support belt to help hold up my tummy and purchased more flat but supportive shoes. Seriously, I think I need a support belt for my JLo butt™ too!
