Updates!

Tomorrow marks week 25 for XXM. All the movements are getting more pronounced and J has finally managed to see the action when G's belly actually twitched from XXM's kicks and punches. So far, movements are more pronounced at night...usually when G is enjoying the 9pm drama serial...or when it's time for food.

G is now undeniably bumpy and her wardrobe is almost completely packed into boxes except for the baggy tops and elastic bottoms. Won't be long till her entire wardrobe will be replaced by nursing tops and yoga pants.

J, G and G's mum went for a short trip to Malaysia...one last holiday and visiting relatives before G gets too big to travel. When XXM is born, will have to find a suitable time to bring XXM into Malaysia and be exposed to kampung lifestyle.

Not sure if it's the weather was too hot or just the change in environment, G actually lost 200g (instead of the usual gaining 1kg) over this week. J made a careful observation that G did not have any McDonald's this week...looks like french fries, cheese burgers and hot cakes are potent weight gain stimulators...


On the other hand, the hot weather seem to have lead to perpetual dehydration that caused fluid retention in G. This might possibly have led to the development of pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel syndrome in G's left hand. The Dr have no solution as X-ray for investigation is not possible and drugs are not allowed, so there's nothing that can be done except to brace and rest the wrist and hope for the best...

And baby shopping has begun! J is beginning to see how much this little thing is going to cost him. Luckily for J, G is not the kind who goes gaga over cutsie baby clothes which she must buy...so far it has been "aww...so cute!!!" and then back it goes onto the clothes rack. Nonetheless, a trip to the Baby Expo and Ikea burnt a little hole in J's pocket which he cannot ignore...another month or so and it will be an even bigger hole when the bulkier items need to be bought...

For now, XXM has its own little storage shelf on wheels! For now, all 3 drawers are rather empty...only the 2nd drawer is half-filled with bb clothes...G must say that it takes alot of determination to not buy more. All the little pieces of tops, bottoms and onesies are so adorable! Even G's mum caved to buying more despite repeatedly warning G not to over-buy as these clothes will only last about 3 months or less

Guess it won't be long when all 3 drawers will be filled with stuff (and J will be groaning from all the money spent...)
