Maternity Leave Day 3

Spent the day hurling away.

='(

It feels different from the normal preggy puke.

I hope it's not H1N1 - seems like vomiting can also be a symptom of it.

Didn't manage to do much packing and baby-prep today, but i had a very nice morning with Glory. 

It was raining heavily, so we opened the window just a little - just enough to wet our faces and feel the cool wind. We told each other "cold!" as we touched the window grille, then ran off to snuggle up and warm ourselves before returning to the window. Again and again. The sweet thing about babies is that they can do the same thing a dozen times, and it'd still be fun for them. 

We watched people going off to work and school, named the colours of the umbrellas, and said "Hello! Have a nice day!" to a select few, not that they heard us. Then we snuggled up on the bed and she fell asleep again.

She's a darling, this one.

We finally found our 40 days of prayer book last night, so i spent the rest of the morning praying... haha... still haven't caught up. =)

Enjoyed.

I don't know why my view on buying clothes for Glory suddenly changed. In her first year, all she got was hand-me-downs. But recently i've been buying.

Perhaps it's coz we haven't received a fresh batch of old clothings in a while.

Perhaps it's coz she seems to like trying on new dresses.

Perhaps it's coz i like to dress her up. (She should be a model. Big eyes, small mouth, skinny arms. S.W.E.E.T)

Perhaps it's just coz i found some pretty good deals online =) =) =)

Today i ordered 2 pairs of shoes, an Old Navy dress, 2 pairs of leggings, a GAP dress and a red Little Me jumper. The total cost is less than $100! =)

I tested out the names on Glory.

She can't say Desiree.

She can't really say Celeste.

But she calls out "Meimei" beautifully. =)

The insomnia is back.

It's almost 4am and i'm not sleepy at all.

Been like that for the past few days... 

i tried putting sermons on repeat, it makes the wakeful moments more bearable, but it keeps munch up, which is bad, coz he has to work.

so now i leave the room and blog. Which doesn't work, coz it means i'd go on and on, and i dun sleep.

Ah well, at least i dun have to work. =)

Me Lil Bro will be back tomorrow later today, in 2-3 hours time. 

I wonder how notti he has been the past month and a half in OZ.

But with a girlfren in tow, he should be well looked after. i hope.

***

Read that there's a 7.9 earthquake in NZ and a tsunami warning issued for parts of OZ.

Makes me wonder if that email that's circulating about the MAJOR earthquake/tsunami on 22 April is not a hoax after all.

Received another Babycentre update today - by the end of this week, my Celeste is full-term!

Yippy-yikes!

Anytime soon, anytime soon! I'm gonna be a mother of two!

And then the breastfeeding starts again. Ouch.

Please let it be less painful the second time round.

I really hope my waterbag doesn't burst suddenly.

I really hope my waterbag doesn't burst while i'm out.

i like throwing things away. 

I think i'm gonna walk around the house looking for things to throw away. 

Preggies are allowed to do that.

It's part of our nesting instinct.

I will also start to dettol everything in the house.

That's also part of our nesting instinct.

Hamsters have that too. They throw out stuff and make a nest with clean fluffy beddings. It's just that shops generally don't sell Hamster Dettol.
