31 weeks & 5 days along

Oook, so much for wanting to record every minor detail. Im almost 8 months pregnant now with another 2 months to go.

Dr. Liew's been very unhappy with my weight gain for the past 3 months, so i've been trying to go on a diet which involves cutting down on all the snacking i do at work. On Wednesday i began the diet in earnest, eating 2 slices of whole wheat bread & milo for breakie at around 7.50am, and then at around 10.30am i had a whole mango, then a malay lunch at 1pm. I was starving by the time it came to lunch time and wiped up one whole plate of rice & lauk. In the afternoon, around 4pm i had an orange inspite of my stomach which seemed to have created a lot of angin. That night i had a pretty big dinner with my brother.

The good news is that the next day (yesterday), i was totally fine with a big breakie, no snack, lunch and still wasnt inclined to snack, though i gave in to some M&Ms. Im going to watch n see how today goes. Have a pear to snack on should hunger strike, but today have an appreciation lunch to attend, and i'll be well fed then.

The baby's been moving a lot, and due to her size, the movements are more violent in nature, with my whole tummy contorting in waves. It's amazing to watch and sometimes it literally takes my breath away. She's most active in the morning, the evening and around 12 midnight. At night when she's not happy bout me sleeping on my side she'll kick n kick until i change positions. I wonder what goes on in there, and how does she feel?

There's 8 weeks to go and my poor little one is still without a name! Hubs & i have only agreed on names that are culturally not suitable for the baby...goes to show that we both didnt grow up in Malaysia long enough to feel at ease with most local names.

Dear baby, i hope your mum & dad will come up with a fab name that would suit you to a tee.
