We spent new year's day with Grandma and Grandpa Banh and your Auntie Mandy taking family photos at Eden Gardens and at our nearby park - it was a lot of fun though I think Daddy was tired of all the posing, he's obviously not used to it like the Banh family are! haha. I'd like to make it a family tradition to take family photos every Chinese new year, it will be a lovely way to document the years. I also got to use my new SLR camera and tripod, can't wait to use it more when you arrive!
Oh we also took some underwater maternity photos! It was a pretty funny effort, let's say it's very hard to pose underwater. I looked like a puffer fish trying to hold my breath! Your Auntie Mandy and Uncle Trevor were very patient taking photo after photo. Daddy was the props person and did a good job - when he wasn't laughing in the background.
Our weekly Dr appointment was ok, though I found out you've disengaged, which I was really disappointed about because you've been engaged since month 7 and suddenly you decide to move up my belly! Dr Morris said it's quite normal and nothing to be concerned about though it does mean you will be staying put in my belly for a little while longer. As of last Tuesday, you were 2.9kg so they are estimating your weight to be 3.5kg at 40 weeks, let's see how accurate they are!
Here are some family and maternity pics from yesterday:

| 38 week belly! |
How far along? Week 38. You're the size of a pumpkin.
Measurements: 70.7kg- gained back the 2kg I lost last week - and swelling back up again with the heat.
Symptoms: I just noticed the funniest thing tonight while I was writing this post - my belly button has popped out! It's sooo weird! haha. My back is still really sore and only feels better when I sit on the exercise ball. I don't know whether it's the anxiety since we're getting closer to your due date, or maybe you're getting bigger and squeezing my bladder but I've been waking up the last few nights to go to the bathroom rather than sleeping through. It's not too bad though since I'm not working and can sleep in.
Obsessively researching: Househunting and interior decorating. Daddy and I saw a house we liked on the weekend, let's see what happens..!
