embracing the unknown



I know everything will change once the baby arrives, I might worry over every little thing, plan for something that can't be planned for and just lose myself in all baby matters.. I just hope that after 3 months (of living under a rock), I'll still be up to date with the world and remain a relatively calm and collected human being..






Looking back at our photo shoot done at 36 weeks, it seemed like our pregnancy journey went by in a blur. In many ways I guess I could say that the past 9 months was pretty smooth although there were definite aches, pains and battle wounds here n' there. I was really lucky that I got away with morning sickness, just a bit of nauseousness whenever I ate cold oranges in the morning. I was able to squeeze in alot of prenatal yoga although I started cutting down after having inner thigh pain around 25 weeks. I thought I had symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) and went to see a physio a couple of times but then I learned that it was pretty common and that I should probably just get on with the program. :P And despite slathering loads of stretch mark oils and creams, the dreaded stretch marks still came in the final 2 weeks. I had a feeling I couldn't escape from my genes :T  So 40 inches and 2 cup sizes later, a small baby has almost finished baking. Excited and yet super calm at the same time because we have no idea what to expect..just that it's going to be super challenging and rewarding at the same time. :')
