A New Trimester

Started school again after about a month's break. This will be my last school trimester before Caleb arrives, and also my nearing my last trimester of pregnancy. This trimester is going to be fun (I think), as I've chosen to take Biblical Worship and Band Dynamics as my modules. Just went for the BD class yesterday and glad that there is no exams for this! Just 2 group projects with individual written reports...sounds manageable so far :) Keeping my fingers crossed that BW will also not be too heavy.

Baby Caleb is also growing well, and I'm feeling him more now although it still feels like bubbles and no distinct kicks yet...maybe I have too much fats around my stomach, that's why. I've noticed that he's more active whenever I'm eating...noticed it especially during my cruise trip. Don't feel him move so much except during meal times!

I'm getting more visibly pregnant now...and more people are starting to ask me "Are you pregnant?". But most of them think I still look quite small in my 6th month...which is totally fine with me :) I'm glad that at this stage, I still can "hide" my tummy :) Starting to feeling a little more clumsy now too...I'm starting to have difficulty bending over to wear my pants, bending over to adjust the car seat, and also changing gears when driving...although the baby bump is not too big yet, I'm already starting to feel that it's getting in the way...sometimes when I bend over, I wonder if I'm squashing poor Baby Caleb inside. Starting to feel more easily tired again these few days...and currently I'm teaching a course in church, and I feel breathless when I teach! But thank God for sustaining me.

Last 2 weeks have been nothing but blessings...a friend blessed us with a big ang pow, Hubby's colleage ius blessing us with a baby cot...we see God's providence every step of the way and we are thankful and excited at the same time.

For now, we're praying for God to continue to sustain us financially and also to bring a good domestic helper to us! Although I do wish to be a full time mummy, but for the moment it would be wiser and more economical for me to continue my part-time work arrangements and hire a helper to take care of Baby when I'm out working or studying or teaching piano, and most importantly....housework! We're also praying that God will give us grace to be good employers and help us get used to staying with another person in the house!

16 more weeks to go...hope the time quickly comes! I can't wait to meet our little boy face to face!
