Guilty as charged, I haven't been spewing out as much as I ought to for baby no.2. Life's alot more hectic with a kid & there's juz not enough time to really sit down & pen all your thoughts.
Nonetheless I'm now on my way to work & since I've got a nice little seat on the bus this morning, I figured it'll be perfect to translate some feelings into words .. ie abt baby no.2, preps & all.
As I was changing into my workwear this morning, it suddenly dawned on me that I have yet to spend a single cent on maternity wear! & i'm hitting 32 wks in a couple of days! Granted, I had some pretty hand me downs from dear June but I'm still pretty impressed with myself for my self restraint! Cash does seem to still disappear rather quickly & beats me where it all went :p Prob to my daily doses of barcook bread, esp my new found favourite, custard milky!
We've yet to fix a name for baby no. 2. Dw's initial choice of Joshua dylan has somewhat drifted off. His favorite of the moment is Jenson, after F1's Jenson Button. I'm cool with that, just that we can't seem to decide if it should be spelt as Jensen instead. Then there's the other name.. Should it be Darius, so the initials will still be JD but then would that cause any confusion with the real McCoy? I would have gone with Taylor Jensen, afterall Taylor Lautner is sooooo charming & TJ Wu sounds hip but the meaning of Taylor totally sucks. It means... tailor... literally. So we're still trawling books & the web, hoping for some inspiration soon! Btw ask JD what name does she want to give didi, and her reply will be "House", with a big grin flashed across her face :P
Then there are baby clothes... Who on earth said there's nothing to buy for boys! I went nuts at the Fox sale recently, the little men's shirts hanging on the racks were just too cute to resist! & thanks to Eve who passed me little E's clothes..
Weight gain is limited this round & I attribute it to the 1st nasty 5 months of nausea & loss of appetite & also to the twice weekly swimming sessions that I embarked myself on. And somehow I think the old wives' tale of different tummy shapes whilst expecting a girl or boy holds true! I'm not as wide as I was with jd but I'm definitely more protruding in front & the belly button turned into an outsy very early, prob mid 5th month.
That's my quick update & next up will be my decision on which hospital to deliver at... Mt E or back to Mt Alv... Will need to decide soon, after my maternity tour of Mt E next week :)
