As Maya has just had her first otonan (sort of Balinese birthday) I thought it would be a good time to have a recap over the experience of being pregnant and raising a baby in a Balinese family and in Bali in general. I couldn’t find much information when I was pregnant, so hopefully this [...]
Posting from hospital in my fetching green gown. Just came in this morning for my 39 week checkup and apparently I am already at 3cm dilated despite not feeling any contractions! Sooo they won’t let me leave. Komang is also in hospital after her waters broke last night so it looks like it’s going to [...]
33(left) and 34(right) week picture because i missed last weeks update. as you can see there’s not much difference (actually, am i shrinking?) and my photos are getting increasingly worse quality :p So measurements indicate that ‘little’ miss is currently weighing in at 3.1kg or 6.8lbs. Now seriously, i know i’m bigger than i was [...]
Conversation between me and Made the other day: Made – your stomach is really big! Me – yeah I know, there’s a baby in there Made – No I mean it’s REALLY big. It looks like it’s going to fall off Me – …. I don’t think I look *that* huge but there you go. [...]
Tick tick tick tick… I swear I’ll wake up tomorrow and be at 40 weeks already. and I still have so much to doooo! arghhh. Well successful shopping trip yesterday at least – got seatbelts fitted in the car and managed to find a car seat for 550rp (all the ones i’d seen before were [...]
10 weeks or so to go. meep. 30 weeks has always sounded so close to the end for me. Not so much difference in this weeks picture, in fact if anything I think i look smaller than last week but i think it depends on what position she’s in. Speaking of which, naughty baby has [...]
Welcome to the 3rd trimester. Or as my weekly emails like to tell me I am ‘well into the 3rd trimester. yay. 11 weeks to go…. yargh…. I feel so unprepared. I still can’t get into my head that there’s an actual person in there. Anyway, looking even huger. Little miss was weighing 1.5kg at [...]
I am feeling huge this week ( i look much bigger than i do in the photo, i seem to be expanding more every day). and tired. Seems like my second trimester energy is well and truly finished and I am back to falling asleep at 9pm and taking 3 hour naps during the day. [...]
So I missed out week 25 because Komang borrowed my camera but nothing really new to report anyway. Time just seems to be going faster and faster, it is really quite scary… I think I have grown quite a bit in the last couple of weeks. Little miss’s kicks are certainly getting stronger and sometimes [...]
Ok so here’s this week’s hideous picture. At my checkup yesterday discovered that I have put on a shocking 9kg in total since my first appointment which would explain why I feel like a blob. Little Miss is still a girl (thankfully because I’ve bought rather a lot of pink things) and weighs a tiny [...]
