baby fats

The rainy spell continues.
Yesterday the thunder was so spooky and L-O-U-D.
First time i'm spooked in this house!
JOlted me out of bed and I was trembling as I washed my face,
Certain something was behind me.

On another note, I think I felt the baby's movements.
It's so slight it feels just like a heartbeat.
Except it repeats faster, like maybe 2-3x at a go and then, stop.
I only feel it when my body is completely still.

Later is the detailed scan where I'll get to see the baby's face, hands, fingers, legs etc.
Quite thrilling.
And I'm very pregnant now.
Yesterday, i was buying nasi lemak at Tiong Bahru when the auntie asked
"Is it a boy or girl?"
Tis the FIRST time a stranger has noticed I'm pregnant, so yea, my belly is huge now.
Gone are those comments "Really? I can't tell you're pregnant!"
Sigh.
Ok la, tis the 5th month anyway.

Yesterday, i read an article about new mother Junita Simon, the supermodel.
And by her 8th month, she'd only put on 9kg.
That's bloody impossible! It really is a model's genes isn't it?
It's only my 5th month and i'd already piled on a too-generous 6kg!
Wah lau, talk about perspectives.
Shanmei said she put on 15-17kg during her first pregnancy by the time she's due.
So i'm not alone!

Anyway, this weight thing is crazy.
Why am I so obsessed?
