Third Trimester

Today marks week 30.

J commented that sometimes it feels like G has been pregnant for so long, yet it also feel so fast cos XXM is coming very soon!

G cannot agree more. While it feels like G's been pregnant for ages, the impending arrival of XXM is causing some serious freaking out for both J and G.

But what will come, will come...and the best way to deal with freaking out is to get the control back. So, J and G went baby shopping over the weekend...and finally, on this 3rd (and hopefully final) visit to Expo, they bought the sarong frame and a baby cot (that comes with the cutest bedding set!). Over the next couple of weekends, time to start buying the other stuff...

On a more serious note, G hasn't been feeling too well the past week. Shortness of breath, heart , palpitations and giddiness plagued her daily...and finally, she put in a call to NUH Women's Clinic and got an appointment to see her OBGYN. Diagnosis: anemia. The drop in Hb is from 13.1 to 10.9, and although 10.9 isn't a very low value, it seems to be significant enough to cause the symptoms. Dr prescribed another supplement with higher iron content, and G is supposed to stay at home and rest for the week. Hopefully, with the rest and change in supplement, G will start feeling better soon.

XXM is definitely growing and getting more active. The bump is seem to get bigger everyday, which has caused poor sleep for both J and G...and G is still trying to capture a video of XXM doing the moves. 2 more weeks to the scan...J and G are both looking forward to it!

And so, the countdown begins as the number of weeks left dwindle to a single digit...
