Diary of Pregnancy #7 – Grumpy!

Sharing is caring, please pass this along!

Week 32

Yep! That’s what I am – grumpy! 🙁

It seems that every little thing can and does set me off. Not very good testimony I know. Comments like :

• “You’re only 32 weeks? But you look soooo big!!!”
• “You are much bigger this time hor?”
• “Your baby must be very big.”

Irk me the most! Hellooooo! This is my 7th pregnancy you know??? What didya expect me to look like? A first time mom?!?!

Then you have someone who was shocked that I was actually pregnant! Nah! I just look so big coz I have 6 children, right???

Then there are those who like to touch my belly. Oh please! I don’t even allow my children to do that.

And there’s someone who told me that she couldn’t afford more children but is now considering hiring a live-in maid. Hmmm………..

Dh says I should wear a sign that says – “Keep off! She bites!” Or something like that whenever I hit the 3rd trimester. 🙂 A friend suggested going into hibernation til I birth. I wish!

Anyhow, to distract myself, I have been moving stuff around the house – again. This morning, I threw out the huge rocking chair and footstool I had from the now defunct Pennsylvania House. It was a hard decision but then I need space more than I need sentimentality.

So maybe 20 yrs down the road I may regret not keeping something that has been with us since Child #1 was born. But I took pictures! 🙂 No, space is getting really tight around here. I can’t afford too much sentimentality especially when it occupies lotsa space!

Living in a cluttered environment not only makes me mang zhang, but it also makes vacuuming and mopping very difficult – especially with the robots we use. Now that it is gone, the house has more open spaces to move around. Yippee!

But I have this stack of work staring at me while I am writing this and it is getting me all grumpy again. The problem with being grumpy is that I don’t have any motivation to do the things that need to be done. So the work piles up and I get grumpier! Argh! I told dh that I want to go away alone coz I know that once the baby comes, I’ll have no time for anything again. Well, at least for the 1st 6 months!

Oh! And we still haven’t decided on the baby’s name! This must be the latest we’ve been! I remember that we decided on Child #1’s name when I was 6 months pregnant in the UK while there for my sil’s wedding. And here we are at 32 weeks with no name that we have agreed on!!!

* that’s hokkien for feeling frustrated and grumpy.
