9th Month Update

So I'm in my 9th month now.  Counting down to the day when baby is born.  So far I've gained 30.5 pounds, as of the last doctor's visit.  Now my visits are once a week.  During the last visit, doctor checked me for the strep B virus/bacteria, so the next visit onwards probably would be checking for baby's growth, heartbeat, dilation, etc.

I don't really do much lately.  I found a new website and is kind of addicted to it.  I've decided to cloth diaper my baby, instead of using disposable diapers.  So I searched around and found this website/forum for families who cloth diapers their kids.  Very very informative, and also very addictive.  It's quite fun reading about other people's experience and their advice for first-timers.  You can also buy used diaper items from the moms online, so it's a good option other than ebay.  In this day and age, especially with the economy being so bad, being able to save money is quite important.

I still do yoga 3 times a week, though I'm taking it easier now.  Taking 3 different type of classes as well: anusara, vinayasa and pre-natal.  Some of the poses are getting harder due to the increasing size of my belly.  But other than that, I'm fine.  I don't walk as much either, since it's probably not too safe for me to out walking alone.  So I'm home most of the time.  My sense of taste and smell is still dulled, but that's ok.  I make myself eat every 2 hours, or let baby tell me to eat :D  Still have to watch what and how much I eat since I can't tell whether I'm full or not until it's too late..haih...

Most of baby's stuff have been bought and prepped for his arrival.  The carseat is bought, crib bought and set up, and we just bought the crib sheets today.  I just need to wash them and set it up on the bed.  Now I just need to figure out what kind of arrangement I want to set up for the baby's clothes and diapers for easy access and stuff.

Other than that, everything is ready and all I can do now is wait...
