you can't keep a good girl down

Haven't been blogging for a while. Been on a sort of break, I guess. Nothing much has been happening in my life and my days are mundane and restful. There's a kind of peace to be had in mundane-ness after all.

I turned 27 yesterday. Whoo-hoo! It should have been a grand event, but birthdays are no longer fun. Too many candles on the cake now. I'm now firmly in the realm of the late twentysomethings.

Yesterday also happened to be one of the worst days of my pregnancy. I've been sick for a few days now, and being sick during pregnancy is no joke - you don't get to take the medications that make you feel better. So I suffered through a horrid runny nose, bad coughing, a sore throat that hurt every time I yawned (which is often), clammy hands and feet, nausea and loss of appetite, and to top it off, mysterious abdominal twinges which appeared and disappeared at whim.

I'm getting more antsy, I suppose. I'm at 32 weeks now, and theoretically, the baby will be full-term in just another 5 weeks. I feel like I should get something done to commemorate this period. Some mothers-to-be pay money to get their photos taken professionally in a studio, and for a while, I toyed with that idea, but then, the rest of me is so round (not just my tummy) I know I won't like looking at those photos.

Hunny brought me to BlooiE's for dinner the day before. It was to celebrate him passing his basic theory test. I'm so proud of him! It was fun eating at BlooiE's. Very pub-like place, without the unhealthy smoke and all. There was a pool table and I really wanted to play, but the thought of attracting too much attention stopped me. After all, you can't bend at the waist very well when your tummy's so round.. Ah well, just two more months, I keep reminding myself.

I'm lying on the bed typing out this post at the moment. My laptop is resting on my tummy and baby's having a fun time bouncing it up and down with her kicks. She's a strong one, she is. I really can't wait to see her. I wonder who she'll look like.
