Mummy update

This is the most recent picture of me and my growing tummy at 29 weeks plus 2 days (how time flies). Extremely recent since I just took this picture 5 minutes ago. Like I said, I cannot depend on husband dearest to take any pictures of me. He is probably da LOUSIEST man to depend on when it comes to taking pictures. Even when it is to document the journey of his BEAUTIFUL (or so he claims) wife through this gestation period of our firstborn. Haiyoh...so irritating when I have to remind him all the time to take picture. This means that all my pictures are posed so no candid shots which are so much more fun. But then again, the man is not Singaporean. I should be more understanding. I'll try ok? I'll trrrryyyy....

Oh gosh, I'm getting to be humongous! No wonder tossing in bed is difficult!

I've also decided to start documenting the development of my swollen feet. I think I have been lucky since my feet have only just begun to swell. I've seen some women who sadly for them begin swelling WAAAY too early. My heart goes out to those ladies. Ugh! I hate the swelling and the fluid retention.

Not so bad right? But I can tell that my toes look a little bloated. And this is just the beginning!!

Apart from the fact that it does not look attractive in any way at all, it can also be very very uncomfortable and sometimes hurt. My fingers I suspect are very slowly but sneakily swelling because they hurt like hell especially in the mornings. I can hardly grip anything so i have a tendency of dropping the toothpaste tube and the bar of soap numerous times in the morning (luckily I'm not in prison) which is HIGHLY annoying seeing how bending over is getting to be more and more of a challenge these days. Even tossing and turning in bed is getting to be a challenge. Ugh! Everything is more of a challenge now. This baby better appreciate mummy and all she had to go through for 9 months. Haa.....
