Lucky 13

I have reached the level of boredom. I have come to point where I have nothing else to do and nowhere else to go.

Anyway, I am on my 13th week of pregnancy, 13 weeks and 3 days, to be exact. Now I am hungrier than I've ever been in my entire life. I eat and eat and eat. Thankfully, my weight had come to a standstill after gaining 3 kilos my first week here. I guess it was understandable since I haven't been eating back in the Philippines due to the dreaded first trimester symptoms, nausea and vomiting. I still have them occasionally. And I just keep on burping all day. And night. And oh, the heartburn. I heard it's gonna get worse as my pregnancy progresses.. Oh dear God. Help me. I don't like eating before going to sleep but it's the only way for me to stop the gurgling and the painful bouts of heartburn.
It pains me to get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night because I am currently experiencing urinary frequency. Supposedly, this symptom appears during the first trimester. But hey, better late than never, right?
And yes, linea negra appeared right on schedule. Mine's a bit faint yet. Not that visible but clear enough to see the dark line across my tummy. I know, I just know that the next worst thing is for the horrible stretch marks to appear. Yes, scratching the tummy does that but even if you don't scratch, stretchmarks still appear. haaaay. I'm still not showing yet.. Beer belly still.
There are days when I am oozing with energy. And then some days, I wish day was not invented so that I could just stay in bed forever.
We've picked out names for our baby already. We decided, well, I decided on the boy's name. But if it's a girl, I haven't decided on a second name just yet. But soon.

Yesterday, I went to the mall and walk around and watched a movie. But before all that, I looked for baby stuff. There are a lot of nice baby things that I wish I could buy now. But, I really have to control the urge since I still don't know it's gender. Haaaaay. I wish everything would go on sale so that I could buy heaps of stuff for my little bugger. But I have yet to know if it's a girl or boy.

Another thing, on our way home, just a few blocks away, we almost got into a car crash. It was the scariest 5 seconds of my life. It all happened so fast and I'm just thankful that the brakes work. Only the two cars hit each other and we were spared. There was only one thing on my mind, keep my baby safe.

oh well. life.
