It has been quite a while since I hung out with my good friends Cristeen and Imelda. The exhaustion has taken over my life. I actually spend eight hours sleeping every night these days which basically leaves me with no social life. But it's okay. Most of my friends are adjusting to motherhood right now so I'm pretty sure they don't have time for me either.

We celebrated Cristeen's birthday in advance by having lunch at Cafe Tu Tu Tango. I'm happy to say that I was able to eat the Fried Calamari and Cheese Pizza with no marinara! I'm so excited. I think I'm getting a lot better. I will experiment on some regular food soon. I think I'm going to start walking and swimming to get some exercise because I think I'll finally be eating for two :-)

I had fun talking about the uncertainties and worries that comes with being pregnant. It was funny to hear some of their experiences and I realized that Tam and I still have so many decisions to make regarding the day of delivery and of course, the months following it. 

Even though I'm Catholic, I'm a bit superstitious. I've always said that I'll fix up the nursery during my maternity leave because I don't want to fix up the room until I'm sure the baby is safely delivered. I was warned that I will not have any time then. Tam and I talked about it and we will spend November changing the flooring in our house and then painting the baby's room. 

They also advised us to talk to the baby once in awhile so Tam and I tried that. It's silly really because I think we're just actually talking to each other but referring to each other as mommy and daddy while making it look like we're talking to my belly. I'm sure we'll get the hang of it soon enough.

I want to come up with a project that I can make for the baby but I don't want to take up too much time doing it. Hmmm ... I was thinking of making a quilt but I think that might be too hard for me :-) Knowing myself, I won't stop until I get it right and that could take months ... maybe years!

The name? Well, even though we know the gender of the baby, we will remain cautious and think of another name just in case the ultrasound is wrong. We have a friend who thought they were having a boy up until two days before the delivery.
