What to report..mmmm

Baby's progressing fine with his kicks getting more frequent, vigorous and stronger. If I put my water bottle against my tummy when he kicks, the bottle will move. I try to put hubby's hands on my tummy when baby kicks. Give him a feel of what I'm going through. Hubby's saying that he has my energy...if that's the case, we're really in for it.

Back's starting to ache a bit more. Have to be careful when I turn on my side while on the bed. Getting heavier means easier to pull muscle in the belly. I think I pulled some muscle on my right side and had the chiropractor look at it. He gave me some exercises to do to re-train the muscle back to its correct position but need hubby to help. Still going to yoga though somewhat getting lazy now. But cannot get lazy..must exercise. However, might need to start looking into pre-natal yoga classes. I'll still do my regular yoga (if I can) but I want to see what the pre-natal will offer me that will help during the labour and delivery.

Appetite's much better now. Can eat more, though in smaller quantities. I probably eat about every 2 hours or so, but I don't eat all that much. The growing baby is compressing my stomach, so less food can go in. But at least I'm eating, which is good news.

Starting to get sleepier again, however don't feel like taking afternoon naps yet. I think it has something to do with me waking up at night just to change sides. Like I said earlier, have to be extra careful when turning since I might pull a muscle.

My OB has me going to a 3 hours glucose test again. Hopefully I'll pass it again. It's such a pain, getting poked by needles 4 times in a span of 3 hours. Sucks. I'm crossing my fingers that this will be the last of any bloodwork I have to do for the pregnancy.

Shopping-wise, still haven't bought everything yet. At least we've narrowed down what we need and where to get it. Now it's just when to get it. The budget for last month was totally busted so now we're trying to spread out our purchases over the next few months. It's pretty close to holiday seasons, so perhaps there'll be some sales around for us to look into. But have to keep an eye out for it.

Lastly, my mom and youngest sis is confirmed coming in December, so I'm really looking forward to it. Can't wait to have a taste of mom's cooking :D Plus all the nice goodies I'm asking my sis to get for me from KL. Not asking for much, just biscuits from Jacob's and St. Michaels and some Kit-Kat. Will be taking them around NYC and the surrounding areas before they head off to Vermont. One highlight is going to catch Jay Chou's concert at Mohegan Sun, a Connecticut casino. I'm going with my sis to the 2am show..hahaha..crazy, huh? In my 3rd trimester and I'm going to a concert. But before you freak out, I did ask my OB and she said that there's no harm in going. So looking forward to it. My very first concert :D
