19th weeks and happy birthday to me!

Baby is the size of mango!

According to many websites, i should be feeling the baby movements this week.

But sadly, i did not feel any movements..

Maybe because i do not know how it feels like

or because of my layers of fats..

Still waiting patiently for the baby girl to give me some moves...

Nothing much happens to the pregnancy

except of my dying self confidence..

I was expecting some pregnancy glow

but all i feel is like a fat and ugly penguin

with horrible dry and white hair..

Sigh, it is so hard to feel the confidence

whenever i stared into the mirror and see a haggard woman..

I guess im those women who dont look great during pregnancy

and need work hard after delivery to get back in shape.

For now, im still avoiding the weighing scale

but know that im probably putting too much weigh again.

Anyway, a photo for the week:

It is also the week of my birthday!

Since husband is having a crazy period of work

and me, being a lazy fat penguin,

we didnt plan for any trip as per previous years.

And because of my current status and size,

the usual gifts of clothings/accessories do not apply/interest me.

Which i think is wonderful to save move 

since the best birthday gift is in my tummy!

On my actual birthday, i made a simple korean bbq at home

and we ended with a simple cake.

Apart from a body shop beauty set,

Husband got me what i requested as gift:

 A craftoholic cape: good for winter to stay cozy and as breastfeeding cover

maternity overall: i think its still acceptable for pregnant women

For my birthday weekend,

husband bought me to a chinese steamboat

that was soooo good..

Is crazy how the pregnancy made me love spicy stuff

and the spicy sichuan soup base was good,

i ended up sweating so much due to the soup and 

generally because of the baby radiator in me.

The price was reasonable for the buffet spread

and it was really popular (almost all asians) that we need a reservations.

I guess we will return again for my steamboat craving..

Nothing much happening for my 34th birthday

and the only wish is for us and baby to be healthy!
