the discomfort continues

heartburn o' heartburn, please go away... you are making me so very sick...

another pregnancy by-product has made an appearance --tummy rashes... very the uncomfortable... so yeah, i've started slathering on the moisturisers.

yesterday, i almost blacked out while waiting in queue at jaya jusco supermarket. so scary ok... i felt some cramping, then suddenly it felt like blood was rushing up to my ears. everything around became a bit distant and i was in a state of panic cos the husband was nowhere to be seen and i desperately wanted to sit down. luckily (or in the husband's own words: "like an angel"), he appeared to save me. hehehe... so without shame i just went to an empty cashier counter and sat on a chair for a couple of minutes. this age thing ah... really troublesome. i didnt have all this with ethan, you know, when i was younger.

another unpleasant thing is that ethan has become super-duper cranky and temper-full. aiyo... cannot tahan man. so irritating even tho i love him to bits. according to my mil and to my maid, it's because he senses that i'm pregnant and wants my attention. probably. altho he's never been one to look for my attention (maybe cos im always available) but more of the father's attention. so, i'm trying to be patient with him.

other than that, the pregnancy is going ok. i thought i felt some kicks but i'm only 3 months so maybe it's just my imagination. however, i think i read somewhere that women usually feel the kicks earlier in their subsequent pregnancies. not sure if it can be as early as 3 months tho.

so now, we're more forthcoming in our news to the rest of the world since we've reached the end of the 1st trimester. praying that the 2nd trimester will be good too.
