This is the 31st week of my pregnancy. :) Some updates:
BB's weight: 1.2+Kg
Mummy's weight gain: 8.5+Kg
All's well and my gynae said all her measurements are good so Praise the Lord. She has been very cooperative throughout (other than her frequents kicks and movements that can "irritates" me sometimes :P) the whole period, growing well and looking pretty (amen! hee!). Just managed to finally get bb's cabinet from ikea yesterday though delivery will be made only on Monday.
Now it's time to start washing my darling's clothes and getting ready for her arrival in 9 weeks time (if she is arrives on her exact due date in late May) :)! Excited but dunno what to expect. :P

Shopping Spree!
Had a tiring but great shopping spree on Sat and Sun. Sat was shopping for my princess and Sun was for some last min shopping for monochromatic chic style for myself (for choir :P). Also managed to meet some great college pals for lunch at spageddies and desert at coffee club (Muddy Mud Pie! yummy!) on sun. Went to the centerpoint robinsons and taka bb fair after work on Sat and shopped myself happy for bb and some maternity needs. We bought so much that the spoils filled the whole car boot. We bought so much at taka that we are presented with a free mini sports centre toy for bb...heh. I'm glad that we have gotten most stuff at pretty good prices (or at least i assume to be pretty good cos i'm too lazy to compare prices too..hee). I'm ready for bb to come anytime i guess...hee..I prefer shopping for my princess nowadays, i dun seem to get tired until i get my backache to warn me i need to rest. So many things I wanna buy for her. i'll post some of the spoils we got for her soon! (hopefully).
I thank God for my bb daughter who will be beautiful in Your sight. I thank God for my princess even though she has kept me awake most of the time last night by giving me hard continuous kicks and knocks on my tummy (i'll box her batok back when she comes out...oh..opps! hee). I thank God that I will have enuff bm to feed her when she is out because i'm determined to only give her that and no fm as long as i have supply at least for the first few monthsss. This means I will have less night rest but it's worth it. i'm starting to think how much i will miss her when i'm at work after my maternity (she will prob be barely 3 months old)! okok...thinking too far but it will be a real issue to when it comes i guess. hmmm.....

Started first session of antennatal class yesterday and listened to a nutrition talk. Apparently I guess I have been eating quite moderately and with adequate nutrients for bb! Praise God!
hee..side track, i was pretty lax about my diet all these while and always rem what gynae's advises on food from the very first meeting i had with him. I always tell my colleagues when they start asking me if I know what to aviod and what to eat throughout my pregnancy that my gynae is very ang mo pai one, so his advice is just "listen to your body and just eat according to what your body tells you to will do". That's the most simple and great advice for me although i was actually expecting him to really go in detail on what to aviod and what nots. haha..so far, that's what I have followed, first 3 months i understand is crucial for bb and my body so i make an effort to cut away from caffine, that's what I felt so i just followed and when i stepped into 2nd trimester, i took up caffine slowly and started to crave for gasy drinks but in moderation of course. :) But I felt I should aviod papayas and pineapples so i didn't take at all (don't be mistaken, if you want to eat, just go ahead cos there is no scientific prove that it will cause harm to your bb or body but everything should be in moderation and you should be fine) Now I'm in my 3rd trimester, bb is super active...kicking and kicking and turning and turning......stamping on my bladder and makes me go toilet many times. hmmp! Her papa said wait till she is out then smack her buttock! :P Oh for 3rd tri, i'm even more lax on my diet and now that I know what is good for bb, i will just have to make sure i have those food in my diet but actually those food has been what I was eating all these while, so not much changes actually..hee! I guess you really need to listen to your body and most of all just move along with God's promptings. Initally I told God I was quite lost what I should aviod and if all the things I heard are correct. I decided to just move with His promptings and so far, that proves to be the best for my bb. Really thank God that even at times when i am helpless, He provides the easiest way to protecting my bb, just listen.
After the talk we went on to the 2nd part of the session which is to do some posture exercises and teaching the hubbies how to pamper the wife by giving DAILY massages! hehe...but gh is like more interested to try out the postures exercises meant for mummies, pelvic exercises.... :
(lying down posture exercise)
me: like that correct? like that right?
gh: so easy!..i show you! (happily lying down and started doing while other hubbies just watches their wives doing it) :/
(sitting)
me: like that correct? like that right?
gh: this one slightly more difficult to do huh (imitating already) :\
(standing)
me: like that correct? like that right?
gh: so easy! I also want to do! (started doing it but discreetly) :/
hehe.....:P

Supernatural Journey
Finally able to borrow the book on Supernatural Childbirth by Jackie Mize from a choir friend. I have been looking ard for it in church bookshop and only found a miniature devotional versions and not the book. Never cross my mind to look for it online..hee..cos I do not have the habit of purchasing online but i guess i should be doing that more often buying bb stuff (clothes in particular). :P It's a GREAT book so far and i know it will stay a GREAT book till the end as well. As I was reading the book, i started to have questions for Daddy God:
- I know that as long as you stay faithful to what Your Word says, that we are lifted from the curse and fear through Jesus, we can believe for supernatural childbirth but how do I know if i can still stay faithful to the Word until i experience the first contraction and still believe it will be painless... (I know that by asking this question, u can guess my faith level..hehe)
- How do I get to the point that I can believe that a painless and fast delivery are as real in Your Word as it is when people share their painful experiences? I can somehow believe for a fast delivery and i only trust that I will have a fast delivery process and refuse to give in to not so encouraging testimonies of slow and draggy delivery process. It is as though I believe my Daddy God will be special towards my experience and it will be as I want - a fast delivery. But I seem to have a prob with believing a painless one.
Don't be mistaken, I believe God's Word is true and real. I also believe I have a special favor from my Daddy God and I'm not afraid of the day approaching because I really have no idea how I will have felt for the first time. All I am thinking now is for the day to approach quickly so I can see my bb princess :) (not trying to think of the potential nursing woes that awaits me after delivery). Just like what my choir mate told me, I will never be able to comprehend how it is like having a child after you become a mother because it will be beyond my imagination no matter how mentally prepared i am. I supposed that includes both the good and the restrictions as a mother I will have to go through. That sort of makes you feel a little uneasy at first because it seems that you will not have control over the situation but it's also telling me, hey! if you can control, then why do you need God?
I hope my Daddy God will bring me to a place where I can find complete peace of mind and knowing that he is in control and that everything will be alright not because I have learnt it the natural way, but because I have gain more in the supernatural way (ie knowing that I am redeemed from the curse and can have a peaceful mind).
I believe the journey will be blessed and He will be in control. I'm looking forward to be yet another great testimony where I can share to the world about my Daddy God and Jesus! :)
