Love the Bundle

Welp, it’s Friday. Hallelujah! I’m so very happy about this. The week has been relatively calm for me, with several days of having to wake up early, but somehow I was able to get the sleep I needed. I think sleep has a lot to do with my moods. If I’m not feeling emotionally stable, I can’t sleep. That makes sense, I suppose. This month has been a bit stressful for me, given everything going on around me and with my body and stuff. It’s hard to get used to a rapidly growing body, I gotta tell ya. I love every minute of it. Bean treats me well for the most part (though her kicks are getting rather strong and they surprise me sometimes with their strength). I’m getting a little wobbly and lopsided when I walk though. People are giggling. Hehe. Can’t blame them. I look really funny, being a thin little Asian girl with this basketball in front of me. Jenbug says I don’t look pregnant from the back. Must be a strange sight to see from other people’s perspective.

This weekend is pretty filled up too. I’m going to try to get my chores done tonight so I don’t have to worry about it tomorrow. Maybe just leave laundry and vacuuming for the weekend. We have our prenatal class tomorrow — all day event. One stop shop, so to speak. I’m looking forward to it, though I’m kind of nervous about it too. The whole labor thing doesn’t sound too appealing to me, so I’m just trying to prepare myself for every possibility.

Gotta get ready for work now. I take this little bundle of Bean joy everywhere I go. I love her so much.

Hey, about the ‘labour thing’, I had my little bundle a week ago - a little girl we have called Molly, and she was 7lb exactly - and had a gas and air natural birth. I can tell you right now, the pains are something that you cannot describe or imagine, but the moment that baby is laid on your tummy, the pain is but a distant memory.
Good luck with the class.
