the night owL
current mood >>
i find that the highlight of my days since i've been completely off from work has been my sleep.. and the worst habit that i have developed is sleeping during the day and staying somewhat awake during the night until almost day time..
honestly though, i think it has been convenient for me to stay awake during the night and asleep during the day since my husband works night shifts.. i sleep along with and beside him during the day and i wake up just as he wakes up - i think that's convenient.. and besides, i actually dont feel like sleeping when he's not beside me... and i cant really have anything done in the room when he's asleep.. gotta stay quiet, so yeah! and besides that, i think my baby is mostly awake too during the night - so that's sorta prepares me for motherhood when he comes out i guess, hehehe! oh well! :: Thursday, September 27, 2007 :: babyshower
I dont remember anymore how I ended up co-ordinating for my own baby-shower... as far as I know there were supposedly 2 surprised baby-showers for me - one from Gie and the other one is from Ate Alice.. But they are obviously not surprises anymore.. I wish everything just stayed as a suprise coz now im stuck trying to find the right day for everyone to do it... Oct 6 would have been the most ideal day but 2 of Mon's friends are celebrating their birthdays on that day... *sigh* Can i just go to sleep and wake up like as if I dont know anything about it??
*mhan!* I cant believe that what appears to be something simple feels so stressful for me.. I cannot believe that I am somewhat stressing myself over this whole baby-shower that I wasnt even supposed to know! Oh well, the main important thing is I hope that the baby doesnt come out before the shower! :: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 :: Ready but not quite...   I finally got the energy to wash all baby monski's clothes, hats, mittens, socks, shoes, and blankets today... I didnt realize that it was going to be so much work since I decided to make an inventory as well of the type of clothes that I got.. It was fun though.. I have a big luggage full of his clothes!  I also decided to buy some diapers, baby wipes, a diaper rash lotion and a bottle of baby wash/shampoo.. Im going to put them all together along with some baby clothes in my ready-to-go bag just incase I pop any time soon.. It's better to be prepared - atleast in that aspect.. Im excited but but I dont think Im ready quite yet.. Im still working on preparing myself emotionally and physically.. I am terrified knowing that I will be in pain and that's the most important thing that I wanna prepare myself for.. at this point in time, I think it makes it a lot worst being a nurse coz I know exactly what Im going to go thru and up until know I still cant quite imagine myself being a patient.. I remember how I didnt wanna watch a mother in labor during my nursing school years coz I was terrified just watching - haha! how much more being in that position.. I mean, i know it could be an easy experience, but what are my chances?? I guess Im just gonna have to pray really hard that I dont spend a lot of hours in labor.. *sigh* :: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 :: Is he coming?
From what others see, apparently it looks like I have "lightened".. All the while I just wanted to believe that the baby is just moving a lot and that his movements that feel like he's just right above my cervix is nothing.. But now, it's starting to kick in to me that I can go into labor anytime now - not to mention that I will be on my 36th week by this weekend.. Im a lot more conscious with what I feel and where I feel it... I worry about the pains of labor since I have very little pain tolerance but I dont think it's gonna scare me until I actually feel them..
Right now, Im a lot more worried about getting things ready... I hope we can get this whole moving to North York done as soon as possible so I can set up the room and feel a little bit more relaxed and prepared. I hope we can get this whole baby-shower thing done before the baby comes out. I havent bought any things yet for the baby - well, some important things like car seat and crib coz everybody keeps telling me not to buy - so hopefully someone will give me these things on the baby-shower! But I have tons of baby clothes - 2 luggages! so that Im not worried about.. And oh, I have to prepare my hospital bag - that's very important since I can pop any time.. I need to pack some diapers, pads, baby clothes and my clothes.. I should do this later when I wake up.. I should ask Mon to drive me to Shopper's Drugmart tomorrow for some baby diapers.. (it scares me to drive by myself lately....) *yawns* finally Im sleepy! Been waiting for it to come for awhile.... :: Monday, September 24, 2007 :: nonsense
Im exhausted...
I wanna sleep but just the thought of it gives me the uncomfy feeling already.. If I could sleep while sitting up, I probably would. It's just been hard to get a comfy position when sleeping since the baby is getting bigger and moving a lot more.. Most of the time, I feel his feet moving just below my right rib cage, probably around my liver area and that's the most uncomfortable spot so far.. he always has been on my right side, i guess he's comfy there.. *sigh* I know it wont be long.... I wanted to do some new layout.. I tried but I realized that Im just not up for it.. Im not in the mood.. Good thing I got started atleast on the laundry.. Too many things in my mind... I gotta finish this whole packing thing soon.. I think I just better just hit the bed regardless... Zzzzz.......! :: Sunday, September 23, 2007 :: drugged
my body clock is completely off these days... i've been trying to sleep since midnight but I couldnt, and I thought I was already sleepy! Im trying not to take any Atarax tonight. I must say that although I sleep well when I take it before bed, it always puts me to sleep for loooong hours, like 10-12hours! and I can still get some short naps after! It just makes me feel so sleepy almost all the time! and with that, I cant get anything done in the house! It seems like Im gonna have no choice but to take it tonight coz I just cant seem to fall asleep. I tried but with my baby moving a lot in my tummy and my itchy skin I cant seem to get a comfy position.. and my mind is just wide awake!!
im just waiting till my download is finished and then Im hitting the bed.. I should be able to sleep soon becoz I just popped in an Atarax. Im hoping to get a lot of things done tomorrow - I need to finish my gift-registry for the baby shower in October (how exciting!)... I also need to finish atleast 80% of our packing tomorrow so I can just chillax. We're leaving mon's house here in Woodbridge and moving to their other house in North York instead early in October.. I think it's a great idea - I mean I hope everything turns out ok.. We'll be a lot closer to most amenities and therefore I dont have to drive a lot.. download completed! Im hitting the bed! :: Friday, September 21, 2007 :: keeping it simple
I wasnt that surprise to find out that my old website: http://www.queenz.4t.com is gone for good.. I havent really been maintaining it well and havent been quite compliant with the server so I decided to just keep it simple and stick with blogspot.com.. therefore, this, my new webbie! ^_^ Good thing is that my previous posts are still available.. I just needed to do some re-touching with the layout and put my personal touch in it... I havent done a layout for ages, I've completely forgotten my htmls hehehe! But, Im glad that I was able to come up with even just a simple one like this...
:: Thursday, September 13, 2007 :: i popped the PUPPP Finally! Im officially off from work... well, it just came a little bit earlier than i had plan.. My official Mat Leave from work starts on Oct. 5 but I've been off sick from work since Aug. 29.. nice?! not really... Unfortunately, just when I thought everything was going good with this pregnancy - no nausea or vomiting, back-aches every now and then - i was hit by PUPPP... Never in my wildest dream did i imagine that such a thing existed until I actually got them.. If you dont know what Im talking about, I wish you never had to know what it is... I was miserable for 2 weeks with it and that was the time when I had the "flares".. Unfortunately, this PUPPP thing is not gonna go away until I give birth but atleast the worst is over.. The "flare" period is somewhat done but I still get this insane-itch every now and then.. thank God for anti-histamines that i have to take every 6hours until my baby comes out - I think I'd go nuts without them! and thank God that my OB has decided to put me off from work a lot earlier than I planned.. I dont think I can go back to work drugged with anti-histamines and itching here and there... and so, I've just been staying at home sleeping for the most part.. I mean, what can i expect anyways right?! I'd rather sleep than eat, harharhar! I've been trying to watch what I eat lately... My OB said that my tummy measures a little bit bigger than the average so I should watch what I eat.. I dont wanna be pushing a 10-pounder baby in the end.. I think that's very very traumatizing if not deadly, atleast for me! If that was the case, I'd be more than willing to have a C-section.. Anyways, Im getting closer and Im getting really excited... He's a lot more active these days..   Sometimes he moves non-stop in a day! I can see my tummy moving when he moves! |
