Oh crap! 32 weeks.

I broke the big 3-0! It still feels surreal even I am already 32 weeks. I started feeling the weight on my body and all the crappy things all came back and more.

Short of breath, stuffy nose, sore throat and stupid coughs, as well as a frequently full bladder - I pee every frigging 10 minutes. The fetal movement is also no joke. Even though it's nice to know that baby is kicking and moving fine in the belly, it's making me very uncomfortable and sometimes annoying.

Hell yeah I am complaining. I don't blame those ladies who want to induce early with this big load on the body. It's not easy.

Even though I complain, I have to say I am lucky that I don't have swollen feet, or back issue. I am still able to work out - lifting weights, cycling, and cardio sculpt, though it's not easy to do jump much. Sometimes I tell blueberry that he is a good boy because I don't have constipation, no skin issue, no heartburn, and so on, which are all his doing.

We are also catching up on setting the nursery. There are so many things we need to order, assemble, and organize. My mom is coming to "sit the month" for me so I need to get mentally prepared to get through the month when she is around to order me do things I don't particularly want to do.

TB looks like he is prepared - maybe he is born to be prepared. I think he is going to be a good dad. If I ever dropped the baby, he would the one there to catch him. hahaha.

I also just heard from my lovely neighbor that I am going to bleed a lot, and maybe for a whole week after the birth. God Damit! How come no one told me that? I looked it up - so apparently all the 40%-50% blood increase in my body now will be the amount I am losing during birth. WHAT THE HECK! Maybe on a brighter side, that's 40%-50% weight that I will lose too.

I am scared and not sure how to prepare myself.
