A Hint of Jet-Lag

Its official, am having a so-called jet-lag for the last 2 days at work. Its not your normal jet-lag caused by the differences in timezone, but more of the differences in space - bedroom space vs office space.

I took Monday and Tuesday off this week, so that gives me 4 days off from work including weekend. My leave was dedicated solely to "baby shopping", as I realized that my tummy is getting bigger and biggger each and every single day, the baby shopping has to be done ASAP! At the 7th months of my pregnancy, I felt that it's becoming harder to move freely as I felt my back spine is not very cooperative and my stomach is getting heavier, hence the leave! Now or never!

Why Monday? Because weekend was full of families, teenagers and shopaholics - and I dont want to deal with this, oh well I know on Monday there's still gonna be people around the shopping centre but it's not going to be as much as what it was like during weekend. So I went to ITC M2 on Monday and just bought everything that I could get my hands on from the Baby Shopping List.

All these little things on the store makes me crazy and confuse, they have soooo many choices and all of them are cute! Even those little milk bottles come in different shape and sizes with lots of cutie prints on them. But Mom insisted that I bought the one without prints, because she said the quality of the material is not as good as the plain one. Oh that is so not cool! I was actually eyeing on the classic pooh one ... anyway I dont really think the baby would realize the difference yet, it's solely my personal satisfaction! But I did get the strollers in Burberry's checkered look-a-like pattern (which I dearly love!). I also bought this really cute bouncy chair as well, but the one I bought doesn't come with the toys but its in the same color.

The next day I went for a 3d Ultrasound and it's really amazing how I can see the baby's face very very clearly! The baby was holding her head (it's a she btw!) and rubbing her forehead during the entire procedure. But the amniotic fluid does make the pictures abit blurry and sometimes it scares me if I don't remember that she's still is covered with fluid because it makes her face looks wavy and not smooth. I was also able to see her attached to the cord, it's really amazing! The baby is now weight at about 1.6 kg whereas now I am 12 kg from my initial weight. So the question is where did the rest of the 10 kilos went to? Ok I know there's still that couple of grams of amniotic fluid, cord, etc ... but I dont think it actually weighted more than 3 right? Maybe I should eat less, because even now I feel that the stomach is really pressing my diaphgram (or whatever it is down there) that sometimes it hurts really bad after I ate. I should maybe eat in less quantity but more frequently.

After the ultrasound, I went to PIM II and meet my Mom and Aunt there and bought several other baby stuff. Am particularly happy on my buying of Sesame Street print baby bedding, because I remember vividly that I love love love Sesame Street when I was a baby. Cookie Monster was the character I love the most, so I check for his existence on the bedding items before I bought it, and yeap he's there ... so off I go to the cashier. Ok maybe its a little bit odd, he was after all the monster character on the series, but I think his blue color is the reason why I loved him the most. I still kept my Cookie Monster doll at home and will soon put it on the baby's room.

Now, it's Thursday sitting on my office desk experiencing jet-lag from the 2 days leave. I feel very sleepy and drowsy throughout yesterday and today! But my Inbox keeps popping up with it's new mail message notification and that for me means work!
