Currently at the middle of my 36th week pregnancy... my belly already dropped big time and my groins are killing me when I walk. I am very thankful that Peanut is very active...and when I say very...really very active to the point that it feels like my whole tummy is bruised all over inside. She even discovered the space on my right ribs where she now stretches her limbs at will.
I am still working at my site office which put almost every office mates of mine (especially in my department!) on their toes. I guess they are really scared that I will have the baby on site... I am not that mean to put them all in alert but since there is only 45 days of maternity allowed in UAE, I just want to push it till the last moment because I wanted to spend time with my newborn.
Tentatively, we are looking somewhere in January 16 to February 4 but my OBGYN feels it might come earlier. Anyhow, its like a "coming soon" movie we are all waiting for. It was kinda hard going up the stairs of my site office (unluckily we were housed on the first floor office!) but I deem it to be a good exercise to avoid swelling of ankles and keeps my body moving. Although the only con was to get down to use the toilet but the rest was a pro....since I can do sunbathing in the morning in our balcony...trying to get enough Vitamin D while I can.
This pregnancy is very difficult but my baby girl is quite strong...and I presume that she will be one tough little cookie like me. He father is very excited since it will be 2 to 3 weeks before she makes her debut to the world. We are mostly prepare for her too...her clothes, travel systems, bath accessories and my spanking brand new breast pumps, her crib and bed sets all ready to be set up by her nanny. For now, me and hubby are trying to spend as much time as we can dating since we are quite positive that with an incoming baby, we'll be lucky to get a grocery time bonding. Thus, in a few weeks... the tranquil moments will be filled with laughter and tears from our very own minion.
