Update  
I'm beat. But I find that no matter how messed up my sleeping schedule is my body still manages to get up every 2-4 hours. Sometimes it's because I've been disturbed (phone ringing, Jun coming home from work, noise from outside, etc.), sometimes it's my bladder, but most of the time I'm just hungry.

My current sleep pattern is going to bed at 10am (yes! 10 AM) and I wake up around 2pm to eat. I bum around for about an hour or so and then I go back to sleep until 10pm. So I am awake ALL NIGHT and asleep ALL DAY. But mind you, between those 12 hours I get up about 2 or 3 times due to disturbance or to eat.

In a way I take this as baby's way of letting me know what my sleeping pattern will be like once he/she is out. So is there even a point in trying to fix my bad sleeping habit? I don't know.

Yesterday I went in for my monthly doctor's check-up and to get some blood work done. Baby is growing normally, heart rate is as usual, 140. My doctor was super busy yesterday so as soon as she was finished with me she left the room not realizing that I wasn't capable of getting up from the bed by myself. She runs back in to the room a minute later apologizing like crazy, "I am so sorry! I totally forgot that you're like a turtle on its back..." Lol. That made me laugh because it was exactly how I felt. I was flat on my back with nothing to hang on to, and the bed was so narrow so I couldn't exactly support myself in order to get up. I thought I was going to have roll myself off of the bed and pray that somehow I would land safely. Haha.

Hey, count down begins next week! Starting then I only have 10 more weeks to go! I can't believe in just a few more weeks I'm going to be a mother of two! Wow. I'm now more laid back about the idea of having two kids. Just a few months ago I was really worried about how I was going to divide my time between baby and Chei. But I think everything will be fine. Chei's always re-assuring me that she will help me out every step of the way. I know, can you picture my soon to be 5 year old rubbing my belly and telling me that she'll help with the diaper changing, feeding, bathing, playing, etc.? She even asked me if I could teach her how to operate the washing machine so that mommy doesn't have to do it because I'll be too busy with the baby. Lol. She sure does know how make mommy melt. She'll be one awesome big sister.

Anyway, this is for mama [info]dakine023...my best shots ;-)



Boy was that Nikon ever heavy! My little sister took my point & shoot camera so I'm stuck with this massive dslr for now.



And here's moi, workin' it in the bathroom. Every time someone calls me fat (like my sisters who love to make fun of me) I tell them, "Screw you. You're just jealous cuz I've got cuuuurves!" Lol

Oh and Jun called me pretty yesterday when I took these. It felt so nice knowing that he still thinks I'm attractive despite the "curves". I was so cheesed.

can i have chei? she is such an adorable, mature and caring daughter. i totally let out a loud "aaaawwww" when i read how she offered to change diapers and asked you how to operate the washing machine. soooo cute! you are one lucky mama!
AJC[info]applewonders on March 12th, 2009 09:03 am (UTC)
i know! like i said, i honestly don't know how i got so lucky with her. she's truly a God-send.
Adeline[info]pinkmiracle on March 12th, 2009 08:40 am (UTC)
you look so glowy and pretty. i love your hair length =)

but wow.. that is some sleep pattern you have. how do you get to spend time with chei since you're sleeping all day?

and i lol-ed about the turtle on its back part. haha. that's really cute!

ohhh and chei is too cute.=D

have you read www.karencheng.com.au ? it's kinda a mummy blog too!
AJC[info]applewonders on March 12th, 2009 09:08 am (UTC)
im letting my hair grow out again...i miss my long hair =(

she's part of the reason why my sleeping is messed up. because within the 12 hours im asleep she'll wake me up probably 2 or 3 times. so i don't actually sleep for 12 hours straight. i feel bad and all letting her play by herself when im asleep, but i get so exhausted just by trying to entertain her. she's pretty good at keeping herself occupied...thank goodness.
OhSams[info]ohsams on March 12th, 2009 10:49 am (UTC)

yay pikchas! work it mama! You're still so cute and glowy! I looked like a beached whale. The belly looks high to me, so doesn't that mean boy ;)?!

I can't believe that Chei is going to be 5. *gasp* But like I should talk N is going to be 4 this year. Not to burst your bubble and here's hoping that my J is just a little punk, but he was the best little boy up until his sister was added to the family... and then the terror in him was unleashed. OY!

Enjoy all the sleep and rest you can! 10 weeks will go by faaaaaast!

Okay, and I can't stop laughing about this...

"you're like a turtle on its back" ^^hee.

Is there anything in particular (food) that you are craving?

Well take care and keep us updated on the progress of your pregnancy!!
AJC[info]applewonders on March 14th, 2009 07:53 pm (UTC)
