Coming to 8 months of being pregnant. Frankly, I cannot wait for the day for the little one to pop out of me. Eventhough I do not exactly look heavily pregnant, I sure feel VERY pregnant.

Before getting my buns in the oven, I had lost close to 12kg of excess baggage thanks to the first pregnancy and first 3 years of complacency in the early stages of marriage. Losing all that weight was liberating in every aspect. Of course it was not easy.. took me close to a year of watching what I eat and walking home from work every alternate days.

So far for this pregnancy, I gained about 8kg. I am waddling and shuffling around like some limping penguin. I wonder how I survived with the 12kg of fat in me previously! I havent given birth yet but all I could think and read about is how to lose the weight post pregnancy. Am I obsessed or what?! But coming from a plus-sized family, I am constantly reminded of being overweight when I see my parents and siblings. I love them but I dont want to look like them!

The 'writer' was telling me that women in their 30's should start being vain and taking care of themselves. I so agree. This is also the stage where the husband's eyes will start to rove (or like the FIL said 'Roving Eye Syndrome') So, its either you marry an old man and become his young hottie wife OR you marry someone your age and as you grow older, take good damn care of yourself, look good and hot all the time so that your husband's eyes will not rove around.

Personally, I would prefer stabbing his eyes with a fork ala Kassim Selamat.
