it probably doesn’t look much different in the photo, but in real life, the belly does expand. it’s wider and fuller. the baby’s movement is so visible that sometimes i feel embarrassed to walk around with tight clothings.
another thing that is different from the previous weeks are my swollen left foot. i heard it’s normal for pregnant women to have their feet and hands swollen. but it seems that my left side swells much larger than my right side. i have this puffy left foot that doesn’t fit into my sandals anymore, while the right side looks pretty close to normal. at the beginning, it freaked me out. but then ari and i found out that we can wrap it with hot towel to ease the swelling. so, it’s all good now.
i keep gaining weight ever since i get to the third trimester. and the lately, it goes on a steep curve… it’s kinda scary. hopefully, the weight gain will stop — or at least slow down — soon.
i’ve been taking photo every four week ever since i was 4-week pregnant. if it’s on the mark, the baby’s birth is on the 40th week. so, if she doesn’t come out early, i may have another photo to show on the 40th week… i wonder if it gets any bigger than this… maybe it will if i keep gaining weight like this.

so the feet are better now? good.
wahh dah gedee yaaa..dikit lagi ya..:)
Swelling is common. Try sleeping with your feet up, put 1-2 pillows under it. Take time to soak your feet in warm water. Get those wooden rollers from Bodyshop, those help with circulating blood when your feet swells up.
By the looks of your belly, I think it’s gonna be a boy.
My gosh, has it been 36 weeks already ??! It felt like really recent only when you announced that you are pregnant. lol
hi bulat 😀 ternyata perutmu buuesaaar sekali ya …
What a cute belly! How time has flown… only 4 weeks to go. Are you excited? Nervous?
Good luck with these last few weeks… can’t wait to “meet” you new little one.
i can’t believe it’s almost time! i wish you the best in everything during the delivery!! looking forward to seeing her first photos! 🙂
waaahhh… maju depan blakang ya.. 🙂 but it’s normal… kaki bengkak juga normal… nahan beban 2 orang gitu looh 🙂
and this week kita jadi ketemuan kan ya? 😉
well, the swelling foot is not much better, but at least the doctor said that it’s not anything dangerous 🙂
iyaaaa 🙂
thansk for the tips!
by the way, all the tales about how to predict the baby’s gender seems to fail on me. the belly’s shape, stuff that i eat, which way i face when i sleep all points that supposedly i have a boy. but the ultrasound scan said i have a girl, and ever since the 5-6 weeks, the doctor still says that it’s a girl 😛
i know, right? it’s almost there… 😀
kata mama waktu dateng: “eh, perut kamu ga terlalu gede ya?” … trus, ga lama kemudian dia liat tampak sampingnya: “eh, dari samping gede deng”.
jadi perutku gepeng, chil… hihihi
we can’t wait either! 😀 although, yeah, we’ve been both excited and nervous at the same time… it’s really hard to predict what’s going to happen after the baby’s born, even though many friends and family have shared their stories with us.
koda seems to be nervous and excited, too 😛
thank you, winnie! i can’t believe it either, it feels so unreal!
oh iya, hari rabu ya?
