Preggo Diaries: The Final Trimester

This is it! I'm officially full term and our baby boy is coming out anytime! I feel like I've been pregnant for 3 years I don't remember the last time I successfully reached my toes! Haha!

This last trimester is definitely the most difficult one for me. I had to adjust to my gaining weight and new center of gravity. Most of the time I'd need assistance in changing positions in bed, getting up in the morning and during long walks. Back pains and body strains are constant. This must be how old people feel. I think I'd need more kids to assist me when I'm older! Some changes in my body have also become very noticeable - darker underarms, bigger boobs and wider hips. The wide hips I'd like to retain after childbirth please. The rest I can do away. 😛 Also since we're already at the waiting stage, my Braxton Hicks contractions have become more frequent and stronger. And there's more discharge now more than ever! 

As of writing time, I am 2cm dilated and not a sign of real contractions and no breaking of the water bag yet. The baby daddy has been constantly telling the baby to come out for almost two weeks now. So far, the only response we got is a little wiggle inside the tummy. Baby boy has got a mind of his own and we only need to abide by his own timing hehe. Not complaining though. More waiting time means more sleeping time for mommy.

Aahhh! The circus of emotions I am feeling right now. I'm very very scared and anxious but at the same time so excited. I can't wait to be finally holding my son in my arms. Anytime now Julian Jose! Mommy and daddy are so excited! 

Top 10 Things Pregnant Ttye Say

As you can see, I am already very very pregnant. The closer I am to the due date, the more complaints I have been spewing every so often. However, I think my family and friends have adapted themselves to most of my whining, especially my boyfriend. (God, my boyfriend has seen and heard it all!) 

Here are the top10 things I say on the regular basis since this pregnancy has taken over my entire life:

10. I need sleep.

Since the day I found out we were pregnant, I don't think I've ever had any straight 8 hour sleep. Now that I'm on my last trimester, it just keeps getting harder and harder due to all the discomforts kicking in. Pretty sure it's going to get worse in the next few weeks or months. 

9. This dress doesn't fit me anymore.

Fashion emergencyyyy! I have less and less outfits that fit me! Huhu. I've not really been shopping for maternity clothes since I have lots of dresses and loose-fitting shirts anyway, but it's good to have more choices every now and then right? 

8. I can't wait to wear jeans again! 

I miss wearing jeans! And I feel envious every time I see ladies sporting them tight-fitting denims! I can't wait to wear one!

7. I need dessert. 

Pregnancy has totally changed my diet game. I wasn't really into anything sweets pre pregnancy but now that my hormones have betrayed me, I find myself craving for anything sugary after every meal.

6. Can I have a little (cake, or ice cream)?
Since the baby daddy has strictly monitored my eating habits, he has commissioned himself to approve and mostly disapprove anything I put into my mouth! For some unhealthy food, I still need to ask permission. And if my cute antics don't help, I usually just give up and cry myself to sleep.
