hahaha love this phrase from the website i was reading..

A full body pregnancy pillow is not a luxury… it is a must have accessory, one that will help you sleep, relax, may help reduce edema and help support your neck, back, legs, belly and any other body part you want before, during and after pregnancy.

10 Reasons why you'll want to breastfeed:

1. It's simple and quick (no bottles, measuring or mixing!).
2. It protects your baby from diseases, viruses, stomach pain, and infections, and lowers their risk of allergies and asthma.
3. Your milk contains oxytocin - the "love hormone", which helps you and your baby bond with one another.
4. It also contains over 400 vitamins, minerals, fats, and proteins NOT present in any formula out there.
5. Breastfed babies have higher IQs. (The longer you breastfeed, the higher the IQ of the child.)
6. It's custom-tailored specifically to your child's nutrition and immunity needs.
7. It protects your baby against SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).
8. It burns about 500 extra calories a day for YOU. Breastfeeding = quicker postpartum weight loss!
9. It contains special brain-promoting proteins and fats not found in any formula out there.
10. It's 100% free (well, pumps and nursing bras aren't, but they're still cheaper than a year's worth of formula).

Baby update!

Your Baby in Week 28 of Pregnancy

Your baby is settling into the proper position for birth, with his head facing downward (toward your body's nearest exit!). Your little work in progress is now about 2.5 pounds and almost 16 inches long. He's busy adding new skills such as blinking to an already impressive repertoire of tricks like coughing, sucking, hiccuping, and taking practice breaths. Your baby's sleep now includes the REM (rapid eye movement) phase — and that means he could be dreaming already (what do you suppose he's dreaming about?).

.

Your Body in Week 28 of Pregnancy

While it's good news that your baby is settling into the right position for childbirth (since you're now entering the third trimester), the potentially painful news is his head — plus the weight of your uterus — may now be sitting on your sciatic nerve, which runs through the lower part of your back, buttocks, and legs. This common condition (called sciatica) can cause sharp, shooting pain and/or tingling or numbness, starting in your rear end and radiating down the backs of your legs. The best thing to do for sciatica (and the rest of your week 28 aches and woes)? Take it easy — and hope your baby changes position sooner rather than later.

Belly update! (i know there a few who are dying to know how it looks like now)

This was how i look at 21 weeks....

NOW FOR THE 26 weeks update: *drum roll*

I DIDN'T REALISE IT GREW SOOO MUCH

NEW SYMPTOM!!

MY SKIN LOOKS RED. yea i just checked...I AM NOT KIDDIN...ITS RED!!!.. okay...So, i just did my laundry, waiting for it to be washed in the washing machine (unlike some ppl who buy washing machine but still ask the maid to use hand). 40 mins to go! And i just cleaned my room, updated Makayla's time-line wall...which is mostly the huge updates bi-weekly of Makayla including her movements, her growth...my growth and pregnancy symptoms. SO, this weeks symptoms:
 I have been sleeping 12 hours a day....roughly 7pm i would be asleep and i would wake up around 6am-7am and i would laze around and make breakfast and start my day. Mostly practicing piano, planning the baby's stuff...fruitful...and when i am done with those, i watch labor and birth videos..so i know wad is upcoming...read up on pregnancy..and of course talk to Makayla and God, since Makayla's given to me by God, I will help her talk to God 1st and when she comes, she can 'self service' and talk to HIM thru Jesus. ANYWAY....Gonna get a playpen from mothercare..its around 100 odd dollars. Can be used till the baby is 4 or 5. worth it. Makayla's having hicucps in me again..hahaha. practicing too much breathing. Or maybe i sneezed tooo hard just now and shocked her...LOL...sorry makaykay......back to the topic! So, i'll be going to malaysia maybe end of the month to get some baby supplies..CHEAP CHEAP one.....baby wash..baby tub...wad else...oh..DIAPERS..DAMN cheap over there...*yawns* DID i mention i've got 4 pillows?? LOL. Trust me..there is no such thing as TOO MANY PILLOWS when u are pregnant. loving it! Maybe that's why i have been sleeping SO MUCH..which is good cause I've got a low lying placenta...which will lead to bleeding in later part of pregnancy...or even risk having a c section which i DO NOT WANT. But, most probably, the placenta will shift up during the last 1-2 months...hopefully i will get a vaginal delivery....stitches DOWN THERE is better den A LOT OF STITCHES BETWEEN MUSCLES AND WADEVER NOTS. >.< Great, I'm hungry. zzzzzzzz time for food!
