I am now 8 months into my pregnancy. So far so good, but I tire very easily. Everyday when I reach home after work, I wouldn't hesitate to rest on the bed after my bath. Waaah.. I could really feel my body melting into the mattress! I notice that I feel a lot more exhausted now as compared to my first pregnancy when I had Greg. Perhaps it's due to my age or maybe because I have to keep an eye on Greg at home. Of course, it could also be a combination of both. Often I feel guilty that I have not been able to engage in much play with Greg simply because I was too tired. He's also kind enough to let me rest on bed and would look for his daddy/ our helper to play with him. I must say Greg has been pretty considerate..
I do have bad backaches, and I feel as heavy as a buffalo. Sometimes when I walk, I feel I am so clumsy. How I wish the baby is out soon, but I am also concerned about whether I could cope with the two boys at home. Sigh. I guess I just have to take one step at a time and deal with the situation as it comes. How nice if Pa and Ma are still around. At least I know I have someone whom I can rely on if I really need their help.. *sob sob* Now I have to do everything from A-Z all by myself.. it's going to be tough but I suppose no matter what, I have to go through it.
Many people has commented that my tummy is huge. Maybe it is. That's why the physical strain on me is so significant. Interestingly, yesterday one of my patients (who's a teacher and has been seeing me every fortnightly to sort out some of her issues) told me that she was shocked to only know I was pregnant about two weeks ago and I am already so advanced into my pregnancy now. She commented that my tummy was too small and reminded me to eat more. Hmm... I wonder if her judgement is accurate because she's the only one who thinks my tummy is small. Anyway, about an hour after her appointment with me, I found her pacing about in front of my clinic room door. She bought soyabean milk for me and asked me to drink so that my tummy and baby can get bigger!!!??? Hmmm.... how strange. Anyway, I didn't accept the drink (usually I do not accept gifts/ things from patients). She asked me why, and I gave her the reason (and a very silly one! Ha!) that my gynaecologist has advised me to have only a cup of soyabean milk one day and I have already drank one cup in the morning. I know it's a nonsensical excuse I have cooked up, but well at least she accepted it and went off drinking the soyabean milk herself. Heehee.

Yesterday, I was curious about the way people judge the size of my tummy, so I decided to take a picture of it and look at it myself. Hmmm... what do you think? ... Well, so long as my gynaecologist never flash any red light/ flag, I guess I should ok..

Hello, have you started drinking coconut juice? you know the old always say it helps to clear "jollis" (yellowish skin) away for your new born child :P
But I am not sure when is the right time to start taking the drink so maybe you can check with the experienced mothers :-)
