It started out a not-so-good day.

Was walking at a quickened pace to the bus stop in the morning, and tripped and fell pretty hard!! Bleeding knees (now I officially own ripped jeans) and palms, and a slightly bruised bottom lip, but thank god, the bump didn't get into contact with anything, as I landed on all fours. It's still so scary though! What if i had fallen completely flat on my tum? Knock on wood. She's in an amniotic sac and is protected and all, but still.

Been so so clumsy and butter-fingered lately. It's apparently a thing, just like pregnancy brain. Caused by the growing baby throwing the mom off balance, due to shifting of centre of gravity, a hormone called relaxin getting released to relax her joints and stuff backfire by making it difficult to grasp things sometimes, and of course, sheer exhaustion! I also get 3-second bouts of complete giddiness where i feel like I'm going to black out. Just 3 seconds max and I'm back to normal! And it always happens while I'm seated down, thank god.

It's comical sometimes, tho. At times I drop my keys 3 times in a row before managing to hold on to them and open the damned door!

I'll still miss being pregnant, though. It might just be my only time...who knows.

Just felt a kick. It's like a secret only you and I share. :)

Beer smells good these days :( So does whiskey. Maybe baby likes alcohol? Obviously I'm not giving in!

I wish I'd start showing a lot more already, just so that kind ppl would offer me their seats in the train. The tum rarely gets glanced at (guess it's cos lotsa ladies have naturally big tummies) and when someone does notice it, they stare, probably unsure if I'm pregnant or just need to workout more. Obviously, they wouldn't wanna offer me a seat and insult me if I was just fat haha. But god, standing in the train makes the back and legs go sore! How women of yesteryears produced like 13 kids in one lifetime, I will never know, nor understand.

Scan on Monday showed girly parts on baby :D But, doctor said he can only confirm next month, in case there's a teeny penis that's still growing. We saw 2 obvious lines tho.

My little Lara. :)

Moooo I've started lactating!!

Just a tiny bit of clear liquid and only on one side, but this is exciting as hell! Probably the excitement will stop when it first shows on my clothes when I am out. Definitely time to stock up on bra pads. My already enlargened boobs might now start hitting people by accident.

Today, I am wearing a stretchy tank top. Something this tight for the first time in 3 months. I look less like I had lots of big lunches and a lot more like a baby is due in some months. Feels good, seeing that the little fluff ball is growing bigger and bigger like a good little boy/girl!

See you in 5 months, baby!!
