Finally we are down to single digits! 8 more weeks to go – God willing!
Feeling even bigger and heavier than ever and definitely warmer too! Showering every 2 hrs is not uncommon here. And so is turning on the air con!
This last stretch is always very trying for me. Focusing on what needs to be done becomes very difficult. I have no mood for anything except thinking of birthing the little one! And my temper gets shorter and shorter too! 🙁
So I try to distract myself with things like – updating my blog 🙂 Or moving furniture here and there. And doing up a schedule of things I need to get done before the baby arrives.
I had actually done up a list some time in December! But I realised that I had better tweak it again coz the original list had me doing lots of stuff till the 40th week.
Now I am not saying I am going to birth early but to work till the very last day of the EDD is just not wise for me. I had better try to conserve my energy from the 38th week onwards.
I remember being very tired just before I birthed Baby #5 as we were actually preparing to move to another apartment. So although the birth was easy and quick, I still felt tired. I do not wish to repeat that.
So I had to re-do my schedule to make sure that the manual work would be completed by Week 38 and I would get to rest somewhat before I birth.
Here’s praying that the next 8 weeks will zoom past!
