Becoming Mombie — Week 33
Sunday, November 19, 2017
Becoming Mombie is my weekly documentation of the third trimester of my pregnancy
with my DS (dear son) + a few life updates.
It was an agonizing work week because of lousy internet connections, but I'm managing. I shouldn't be stressed so baby won't be affected by the negative emotions.
I'm just excited that we reached 33 weeks and it's just weeks before this little bunny comes out!
🏬 Quick Update of the Week
❝ TL;DR: Went to have Aria (our car) checked and was supposed to buy more baby things, but we can't find something that I like. Lol. ❞
We went to Alabang to have our car checked. Maintenance.
And I was planning to complete my D-Day Checklist and some of the baby essentials (upcoming blog post about this) that we're still missing: breast pumps, more baby blankets, baby bag, booties, baby-friendly detergent, and more.
However, I got soooo tired last Saturday that we only managed to buy baby blankets, booties, and some minor things like baby wipes and bottle cleaner.
We still have many things to buy! 😭 I think I'm going to have to order online again. Lol. It's just more convenient!

How's baby?
Baby responds to my voice and his happy nursery rhymes song. He wouldn't move if it's instrumental music, though.
He's always occupying the left part of my tummy that it hurts a bit because it feels like he's digging a hole and is going to fall off my side. When that happens, I'd switch to the right.
Also, I'm kind of frustrated because I can't tell which body part of my baby is protruding. I only have a hunch, but I'm not 100% sure. How can the other moms know?!

Baby's Milestones at Week 32
According to the Ovia app:
- Babyyyyy's sense of sight continues to develop
- Weighs 2-2.25 kg this week
- They can now detect light, and his pupils dilate and constrict
- His bones continue to get harder
- Lungs are producing surfactants (fatty substance that coats the inside of the lungs)
- Body is prepping for delivery!
- Vernix caseosa (slippery coating on skin) is thick but begins to fall off
- Have REM sleep cycles and is prolly dreaming about daddy and me ❤️
How's mommy?
The work week came so fast, but it was a pretty tiring one because of my ISP!!!
I get ZERO upload speed for like 4 days this week. Download speed is okay, though. It would start at around noon until around 9pm. Now, I don't know if it's my router or my ISP that's the problem. Ugh.
I hate it. I would ask for support, but they would solve it and then the same thing would go back again after an hour. I hate it, I can't work.
But they have a promo, we're going to upgrade 😉 and I'm going to demand first that they solve my uploading problems. We decided to upgrade because the speed got faster and the price got lower.

Also, I had some sort of lower abdominal cramps this Saturday, but I was relieved it went away. I don't want to go to the hospital for some early labor falsies again.
Also, I am itching all over—my boobs, my tummy, my upper thighs. My stretch marks are going crazy! 😵 I think I'm never going to stop them at this point. I recently switched from Bio Oil to Palmer's Tummy Butter, hoping the stretch marks won't spread further.
According to Ovia:
Also, I got 2 planners for 2018! First time in 3 years to let go of the Starbucks one. Because coffee.
What I got are the Keepsake planner from GetFiled for work stuff and a Muji planner for my baby (and personal stuff) journal. 😊

According to Ovia:
- Nipples are getting darker so baby (who still doesn't have perfect eyesight) will know where to aim when he's out! Never knew the science behind this nipple darkening 'til Ovia
- May experience confusion and blurry vision due to skyrocketing hormone levels (I was always complaining my degrading eyesight to the hubby!)
- Increased sex drive
💫 Did you know that sex helps induce and speed up labor? (Okayyyy, noted! Hahaha!)

How's daddy?
He also got tired of shopping around. Lol. But he's the sweetest. Would drop me off the mall and let me sit and eat a donut, while he goes back and forth the mall and the car service center.
That's all for Becoming Mombie this week!
Next week, mom is coming to stay for a couple of months. The house ain't ready for her yet. Hahaha! And hubby and I are buying something huge this week, I'm so excited. I really need it for work. Lol.
