Week 34 Pregnancy: Rib Pain During Pregnancy

I fell sick the weekend after I cleaned up two rooms in the house for an entire week. 

I was down with flu and cough, not to mention being SUPER DUPER exhausted. 

All I wanted to do was sit back on the sofa and just do nothing.

Unfortunately, our little tot fell sick too so in addition to looking after myself, I needed to make sure she's being looked after too. 

Another thing I noticed was that I had a sharp pain on my right rib, exactly just below my right breast. 

If I were to slouch, it'd get more intense.

I wondered if all the hard labor the week before had caused the pain. 

Sleeping is getting more uncomfortable now. 

Back pain is getting more severe, coupled with the rib pain. 

So I looked it up to make sure it was nothing serious. 

I found this article:

Rib Pain During Pregnancy

It states that it is perfectly normal for pregnant women to experience this in the third trimester and it'll ease towards the end of term. 

I've got to admit, it isn't pleasant at all. 

When I apply pressure on my rib, it feels as if I had injured myself. 

When I lay down to sleep, I can feel the pain. 

I hope it goes off soon. :(

My appetite had also dwindled. 

I easily feel full and only consume rice once daily. 

I'd rather have 2 slices of bread or biscuits accompanied with a drink of milo + oats. 

For me, it is a complete meal. 

At times I'd feel slight nausea, though I won't vomit and it brings me back to my first trimester. 

I sure do hope I don't end up feeling like how I felt in my first trimester!!!

It's no fun, no fun at all. :(

Alhamdulillah, baby is more active now and it is more profound with the baby's movements ie moving tummy, kicks, hiccups, etc. :)

Week 33 Pregnancy: Nesting

Yes, I've officially started nesting 3 days ago. 

I emptied an entire storeroom in the house to turn the room into a fully functional room which hubby and I could use. 

Despite the room being so small, the amount of stuff in there left me wondering ... how on earth could such a small-sized room fit all THESE stuff?

Luckily, our little toddler helped me carry stuff around or throw the trash or help organize empty boxes, anything within her capacity. 

It helped a lot!

The cleaning and organizing didn't stop there. 

I then sorted out the guest room so that we could fit in our toddler's new bed and fill up the wardrobe with her clothes. 

Her wardrobe which is in our room have been stocked up with the baby's stuff. 

Her toddler bed in our room will be transformed back into a baby cot. 

We'll also fit in her diaper changing table for the new baby. 

It took me 3 days. 

The whole 3 days to sort out things. 

It has been super duper tiring! 

Last night when hubby and our tot were doing the finishing touches to her room, I just couldn't muster any energy to do anything. 

I plonked myself down on the sofa, feet up and just stared at my phone screen. 

Not long after, our tot came to sit with me and we both watched the TV. 

She slept off within 15 minutes or so in my arms. 

Hubby carried her into her room. 

I went into the room not long after as I was just too exhausted, even to watch the TV!

I must admit, the first night not having our tot next to me, I missed her. 

Like really miss seeing her sleep next to me and kissing her whenever I can and just watch her sleep. 

I woke up a few times in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and made an excursion into her room. 

I checked to make sure she hadn't fallen off the bed, checked the room temperature, checked that her night light wasn't too bright, drew the curtains and made sure she slept in a comfortable position. 

Today, there are still a few more things which needs to be done. 

Sigh. 

Feels like there are just too many things in too many places in the house. :(

I'd probably sit down for awhile before I resume my cleaning and organizing urge. 

By then, maybe ... just maybe I'd have that burst of energy which I had 3 days ago.
