MDIML-Episode 24

 

During my 8th month, I got all the big stuff outta the way, like baby  crib, baby dresser and stuff. Baby clothes will slowly be stockpiled  through time, no rush there, and now trying to decide how to arrange our  furniture.

Sleeping on my left was torture because my ribs still hurt, and coz my  left tit is slightly bigger than my right tit, the weight is mostly  there and my rib suffer the most, but I can't lie down on my right too  long either or I'll go numb, but my back hurts if I lie on my back, so  trying to get comfy is a chore.

Had my hair cut short in preparation for the confinement. I'm Chinese,  so there are a set of rules/superstition I have to follow during the  confinement (post-birth healing) month, and one of them is no  hair-washing. Something to do with prevention of getting migraines and  headaches when I'm older or something, I dunno. Personally I don't  really believe too much in that, but I'm under my in-laws' roof, so I  couldn't run away even if I wanted to.

Getting a bit of Braxton Hicks contractions now and then, though I still  can't really tell the difference between it being Braxton Hicks or just  Jr stretching. The docs confirmed that Jr is head first and a good  position to go, so no worries about breech birth or whatever.
