At Twenty Nine Weeks

Little Ninja is now on its 29th week... and s/he is feeling wonderful! Kicking here and there, jolts and jabs that never fails to make me laugh. Sometimes it becomes a driving hazard, since I couldn't concentrate when something feels like tickling and pushing the wheel (yes, the tummy is close to the wheel now).

I am happy that the left hip pain which has been nagging me a few months back is actually gone! It's just that my right fingers do feel a bit swollen, like pregnancy arthritis (or whatever you may call it). It gets difficult to make a fist, open a bottle, and type using my phone.

My appetite has changed, there are times that I don't feel like eating other than just bread. I get full easily perhaps because the belly is getting bigger and there is no more space for overeating hehehe! I have to catch my breath every now and then... I couldn't carry my belly standing up for quite some time, and that goes to carrying my little Miro. Climbing up and down the stairs can be exhausting, so I have to plan what I need to bring upstairs before calling it a night.

Last check, I gained only about two pounds for a month. I thought I'd gain more than that considering all the feasting in the holidays. I will be checking in with my OB every two weeks now. Yes, I am close to the finish line and I can't wait!

On the other hand, the two boys at home are such a lovely sight to behold! They're noisy and fun! There are two messybots and chatterboxes now in the house... I don't mind it that much anymore (it helps to have Mama around, we're a tag team cleaning up after them). Oh, you should see and hear them during bath time! I enjoy it so much... they splash and giggle... they're having fun with each other... every night, after feeding them -- this has been something to look forward to...
