waddle waddle waddle

i'm running - or should i say, waddling - out of steam.

it's getting a little difficult to breath at times, and getting sufficient sleep is becoming a huge problem as i've to wake up 3-4 times in the night to empty my bladder.

*sigh*

and chinese new year is creeping up ever-so-quickly too. shops are blasting CNY songs already and it seemed like only yesterday when we were done with our christmas shopping frenzy and year-end parties. (well, at least for most people since the only function i attended was the hub's company's annual dinner.)

the strain on my pelvic muscles is unbearable, and i still have 3 more months to go. sometimes i feel as if the baby's pushing her way out already, even though the time is definitely not right!!!

can't remember my previous pregnancies being so physically challenging. i am absolutely sure it's the age factor. just last night i was wondering how i managed to deliver to xian and wen without using epidural...and whether i should *stupidly* do without it a 3rd time.

at this stage, it's too early to tell whether i'll be lucky enough to go through a natural birth process or if i've to opt for a c-section (i hate to go under the knife!). will have to wait and see.

meantime, i'll continue to waddle my way around.
