33 weeeks pregnancy

My estimated date of delivery is drawing nearer, 20th september. My third trimester is one of the most tiresome, yet joyous times of my life as a woman. My initial weight was 53kg before preggy... as at today, my weight is 58.5kg. As compared to other ppl, i gained very little weight. But luckily the gynae ensured me that my girl's weight is ok, just right.

I begin to really feel that the baby is about to become part of my life. I hope Paris is pretty much fully developed by this point, and is only gaining size and weight to become strong and healthy. I read from books that the brain does more development during this stage, and the lungs also begin to practice for taking that first breath. I guess bcoz the baby runs out of room, movement is felt more strongly, and more frequently. Often, i feel alot of movement esp at nite.

As Paris grows day by day i feel more pressure on my bladder, and on my legs and pelvis as well. I also experience back pain as baby and abdomen grow.... This discomfort can become tiresome, i wish that the baby would come out already. haha... I tried my best to get plenty of rest and don’t stay on my feet for long periods of time.

This month, zhenyu will be very busy, as he got many duties to perform. He is giving me the car, so that i could drive Princeton to and fro to school. I woke up 6.30am everyday, had breakfast with zhenyu, then drive him to camp. Afterwhich, will come back and drive tian tian to school. Alternate days, will also drive my mum to the market and to my grandma's place.

When i was 18, my mum encouraged me to go and get a car license. She kept reminding me that, whether u r a male or a famale, whether u want to have a car or not. Just go and get it. It will be useful one day. She was right, and i'm glad i can drive :)
