A little update on my pregnancy.

Been a while since I updated my blog... I'm kind of lazy to do anything now

 (I just love to nap, nap and nap... I'm heavily pregnant, that's my excuse, lol)

 I'm now just about 35 weeks pregnant and I’m feeling so much bigger right now. The journey has been a miracle to me. Although there are lots of unhappiness and nightmares too. When you're pregnant and fatigue is a way of life, it can be down right cruel to be plagued with insomnia. Dealing with restless nights of frequent pee breaks and tossing and turning and leg cramps really been giving me serious insomnia. But beside that I've been really lucky throughout my pregnancy to not have not even 1 day of morning sickness but I did suffer from dizziness and serious headache almost every morning for the first few months. Touch wood but I don't have any stretch marks , Thank god.

 I have however gained more weight than I thought I would have gained in my entire pregnancy *sighs. I did start underweight because I don't have much appetite to eat and I truly believe my body NEEDED food especially more meat. I don't understand why people say you will eat allot during pregnancy and you will have lots of craving. But for me, as I sees food , I feel like vomiting and this ended up myself with Low hemoglobin count. Doctor did prescribe me saferon supplement to deal with the prob and my baby has had no issues. So I started to force myself to eat more. I tend to eat lots of sweet food such as cakes and dessert. I still don't have much appetite for meat or rice but until today I've already gain 13kg. I believe the extra weight is a good sign for the baby. Cant imagine how much effort I got to put after my pregnancy to get back my usual weight.

My goal is to deliver naturally and I'd like to try to go without an epidural like my mother did. Although I'm really scared to deal with pain (nightmare!) , but I think this is the best for the baby. I also plan to breastfeed as long as I could. Cant believe time passes so fast ,in about a week or two I'm going to pack my hospital bag and get it all ready. For safety purpose , pack earlier is better.

Okay that's all for the update , I don't wanna write grandma story here. Guess for those who are not pregnant will get bored of it. Hope my viewers wont reduce due to this :)

Pregnancy photo shoot is a MUST for me of course not purposely pay high $$$ and go for a studio shoot, I just wanna keep those picture and make it as album for myself. It would be a great memory for us in the next 10years → 20years → 30years. Although being fat while pregnancy isn't pretty but there's a glow in my tummy. Everyone used to say no matter how fat , or how ugly you turn in during pregnancy , there is a glow in you which not everyone will have. So why not? Before my shoot I searched the internet for maternity pictures that I would want to use as inspiration. Some of the pictures out there are just so cheesy. To me, the pictures of woman holding their boobs with their hands, or their husbands holding their boobs from behind were just NOT for me.So here I wanted to share some of my maternity pictures with you and hope that you will get inspired for your next maternity shoot.

Managed to find a friendly & kind photographer that willing to shoot for us for free.

He said he seldom shoot maternity so he would wanna try but guess what?

 I love the outcome so much! Really THANK YOU SO MUCH !

 Love this picture , you'd show so much love towards my belly , Daddy to-be soon!

Read this last week and I feel its really worth to SHARE!

A little boy asked his mother "Why are you crying？
一個男孩問他的媽媽：你為甚麼要哭呢？

"Because I'm a woman," she told him.
媽媽說：因為我是女人啊。

"I don't understand," he said.
男孩說：我不懂。

His mum just hugged him and said, "And you never will"
他媽媽抱起他說：你永遠不會懂得。

Later the little boy asked his father,
"Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
後來小男孩就問他爸爸：媽媽為甚麼毫無理由的哭呢？

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
所有女人都這樣。他爸爸回答。

The little boy grew up and became a man,still wondering why women cry.
小男孩長成了一個男人，但仍舊不懂女人為甚麼哭泣。

Finally he put in a call to God; and when God got on the phone,
he asked, "God, why do women cry so! Easily?"
最後，他打電話給上帝；當上帝拿起電話時，他問道：上帝，女人為甚麼那麼容易哭泣呢？』

God said: "When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world;yet, gentle enough to give comfort"
上帝回答說：
『當我創造女人時，讓她很特別。我使她的肩膀能挑起整個世界的重擔；並且，又柔情似水。

"I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children"
我讓她的內心很堅強，能夠承受分娩的痛苦和忍受自己孩子多次的拒絕。

"I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up,and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining "
我賦予她耐心，使她在別人放棄的時候繼續堅持，
並且無怨無悔的照顧自己的家人，渡過疾病和疲勞。

"I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances,even when her child has hurt her very badly"
我賦予她在任何情況下，都會愛孩子的感情，即使她的孩子傷害了她。

"I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart"
我賦予她包容她丈夫過錯的堅強和用他的勒骨塑成她來保護他的心。

"I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife,but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly"
我賦予她智慧，讓她知道一個好丈夫是絕不會傷害他的妻子的，但有時我也會考驗她支持自己丈夫的決心和堅強。

"And finally, I gave her a tear to shed.
This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
最後，我讓她可以流淚。只要她願意。這是她所獨有的。

"You see: The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair."!
你看，女人的漂亮不是因為她穿的衣服、她保持的體型或者她梳頭的方式。

"The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes,because that is the doorway to her heart * the place where love resides."
女人的漂亮，必須從她的眼睛中去看，
因為那是她心靈的窗戶和愛居住的地方。


Every Woman is Beautiful.
每一個女人都漂亮
