Pregnancy - Weeks 26,27,28,29

Here is the updated pregnancy weight gain graph. This was last seen about 2 months ago and since then the line has progressively gone upwards. To date my total gain is 9kgs. It fluctuates between 9-10kgs but so far I have not hit the 10kg mark yet. We have another 2.5 months or 10 weeks left to go before the little one pops out to say hi to the world. In this 2.5 months, baby is expected to triple in weight so by calculating that, I expect to put on another 3kgs. That would make the total gain 12-13kgs. * GASP *

I feel like a walking beach ball - not filled with air but something heavy like lead or cement. I kind of feel like one of those life sized air filled figurines that have big bottoms filled with heavy lead at the base of them that prevents the doll from toppling over after being punched... You would punch as hard as you could but the darn thing would just keep bouncing back. I somewhat feel like that doll. Not that I bounce back after being punched but the fact that most of my weight is now focused a little below my center I feel a little wobbly, waddly and quite uncoordinated.

I can't remember what the doll is called... punching doll? In Hokkien I think its called the 'Pu Tau Wang' I think? Or is that in Mandarin?

So we have 10 more weeks to go before baby is released from the holding cell :) Only a mere 70 days to 'peekaboo!'. I'm getting anxious and the thought of birth pains is starting to make me nervous.
