Sleepless once again
I'm almost hitting week 33 and the sleepless and night waking has been haunting me for days... I guess it's the body's way of adjusting (or preparing!) me to the night feeds that will be upon me before I know it. School holidays is almost over (2 out of 6 weeks left) and before I know it, the school runs and routine will begin again. I've been keeping busy, "entertaining" the kids by taking them out to do the things they enjoy before the challenges of the school year begin. I've also been able to do quite a fair bit of spring cleaning and throwing out things that I don't really need (or want) anymore.
The festive season is also around the corner and I will have plenty to do on that front too. From the office party and family dinners... I guess the next 2 weeks will be here and gone like a flash (as with 2018)... it's a surreal feeling - with the little one extremely active and acrobatic... since I remember missing this feeling (being kicked from the inside) and knowing for sure this will be our last one.
All the additional tests that I've had to do because of the "age" factor have come out negative... which is extremely good news. After all, I definitely do not concur with the DR classifying me as a "high-risk pregnancy" since I totally have no health issues and the additional tests only served to cause me more jitters. Anyhow, at (almost) week 33 and 4kg heavier, I am sure I will be relieved once little one is birthed.
The question that I am thinking about the most recently - to engage a jamu postnatal massage therapist or should I go the TCM way this time? Knowing that I will definitely not have another one means that I had better heed all the old wives tales and carry out the confinement practises to "heal" my body postpartum. Hopefully, I will be able to lose way more weight than I gain throughout this pregnancy.
