STRESSED!

Work is mounting and deadlines looming. Really feel like giving up. Regretted not leaving this job when I first discovered I was pregnant. Dread the kind of consequences this stressful period will have on my baby. But it's no turning back. Can't leave now, much as I want to. The Lord help me...

Responding to Sound

I noticed baby responds to my voice. He'd move when I talk. That's when I become very conscious of the TV programmes I watch and the surrounding sounds I come into contact with. One thing I've done since he was 3 months in my tummy was to play classical music whenever we drive. Heard that calms the foetus and is good for his development.

However, I do hope baby isn't affected by the heated arguments and raising of voices at meetings in the office. Unhealthy... Won't know if these have profound effect on him or not.

Humpty Dumpty

I had a fall. Went on my knees and got pulled forward by baby and finally ended up on my face! Owwww! That was painful! Thank God baby was supported by my knees and so didn't hit the ground.

We survived. And I finally know what it means to fall flat on my face.

Wormy Movements

Not just can I feel baby's movements, now we could see as well! Looks like sand worms crawling underneath my tummy's surface. It's bizarre and exciting.
