Where's the kaboom?





J and I are moving to his aunt's house in Quezon City tomorrow. It'll be more convenient for us to stay there because it's only a few minutes away from St. Luke's where I'm giving birth.

I'm pretty huge now...166lbs! Yikes! My weight gain is adequate, though, and I was relieved to know that aside from my more or less 7-pound baby (yes, she could already be that heavy), there are other things making me huge:

  • Breasts = 0.9 lbs

  • Maternal Blood = 4.0 lbs

  • Placenta = 1.4 lbs

  • Amniotic Fluid = 1.8 lbs

  • Uterus = 2.0 lbs

  • Interstitial Fluid = 2.7 lbs

  • Maternal Tissue Stores = 5.5 lbs


  • I don't know about the breast part, though. I bought some maternity bras last weekend and I'm only one size bigger. Hmmm...oh well, better than still being flat. Hehe.

    All this waiting is killing me! I'm nesting like crazy (meaning I've been preparing the baby's thing and cleaning the room and whatnot) and I can't wait to see her.
