the 21st week

woohoo. 5 months in, another 4 and more to go. gained 7kg. judging by the looks of it, i still don't really look as if i did. haha. Baby Centre UK on being pregnant at 20 weeks: 'You no doubt feel the kicking and somersaulting of your growing baby'.

last two weekends ago was when Baby first started having fun experimenting with movement. gave me weird tummy sensations at times especially at night when i wanted to get some sleep. makes the realization of another human being actually growing inside you seem more of a reality than just a feeling. hehe. watched a horror flick at home with Significant Other on Saturday night, so he suggested playing Mozart for Baby in order to drown out sounds from the movie. which i did. but then Baby starting doing movie action of its own. apparently halfway through the movie iTunes hanged at some point so i guess it got agitated. or maybe it just didn't enjoy Mozart. lol. Significant Other managed to get a feel of Baby's powerful kick. haha. then on sunday i went on an unhealthy food eating spree so i guess Baby got mad at me, it started to do acrobatics in the womb -.-

for the past week those sensations have been giving me a sense of excitement, especially since two of my friends gave birth last weekend. welcome to the world Aisha Marie and Zara Lailly Wardiah! =D suddenly you just can't wait for the 9th month, never mind that you haven't prepared a single thing for the arrival of the Baby, or that you can't ever imagine yourself being the ultimate Super Mommy, or that you never stopped to think of the pain that you might have to endure during delivery (actually, those thoughts have slipped through my mind. i just chose not to dwell on it yet until the 6th month =P). oh yeah, the bad side of being further along is i'm starting to get backaches and rib cramps. sigh. i really should improve my posture.

anywayyy, last weekend i bought a pair of maternity jeans, no thanks to the super encouraging sales girl. and gawd, are they expensive. Significant Other went off to learn more of his long-lost dream (and left me behind, much to my indignation) so i decided to console myself. so me and a friend of mine went 'window-shopping' at Subang Parade. apparently she did - i failed. lol. the other thing i bought that day was a pen from Sheaffer. I remember when Parker pen used to be famous back in our primary school days (as a noun? pronoun? gwah, i suck at grammar). bought a Sheaffer as father in law's birthday present recently and had in engraved, looked superfine so thought i might want one too. haha. so now i have my very own expensive pen =P ain't it sweet?

p/s. you must be thinking at this point, i have totally lost it. i probably have. haha.
