It’s kinda weird, coz the day I crossed over into the third trimester, I started feeling both Braxton-Hicks contractions AND heartburn (2 nights in a row before I wised up and started eating smaller portions). It’s like a ‘third trimester’ switch got flicked on or something… 
Anyways, now I know how a ‘false’ contraction feels like…it really is different from when baby is squirming around in my tummy. Usually, the latter just causes one side (the left more often than the right) to bunch up, whereas the former makes me feel like I had rocks for lunch.
As for the heartburn…oh…what an awful awful feeling. It feels like my dinner got stuck halfway down my esophagus and I drank a cup of acid to wash it down. Cure? Eat small portions and don’t drink too much water immediately after eating. Luckily, I’ve only experienced it twice so far…no more, please! No more!
Baby movement…her repertoire of movements now include stretching, kicks, jabs, poking, hiccuping, drumming her fingers and very likely…turning round and round in my tummy! Her hiccups are so cute…it feels like tiny little drum beats! 
Recently, she also started doing some kind of maneuver that feels very much like she’s trying to break free of her little ‘prison’…she pushes really hard against one part of my tummy, so hard that it actually hurts. The only way I can describe it is that it feels like someone is using the blunt end of a pencil and pressing and drawing it down the soft, fleshy part of your arm really hard… 
I’ve also done more baby shopping! myBBstore.com is having a sale on their baby products, and I managed to find my Tiny Love Nature’s Serenade cot mobile there! On sale too! Happy happy joy joy!
Other than the cot mobile, I also ordered the Fisher Price Newborn to Toddler Rocker - the discount was just too good to resist!
As for the muslin clothes, bibs and changing pads…I decided to buy those from Ikea. Like I said in my earlier post, figured that these will get dirty pretty fast, so I did not really want to spend too much money getting fancy-pancy ones. I also bought two plain bedsheets and some hooded towels from Aussino. Some of you may be wondering why I just bought bedsheets instead of those pretty quilt + pillow + bolster sets. Well, blankets, quilts, pillows and bolsters are actually a big no-no in a baby’s cotl…all the baby books, websites, etc. warn against using these in the cot as it contributes to SIDS. Some even warn against using bumper pads! All in all, the only things that should be in the baby cot are:
1. A good and firm mattress
2. Tight fitting bedsheets
And, as pretty as those bedding sets may be, baby won’t be able to tell the difference and if her diaper leaks, soiled sheets are still soiled sheets…
I also found some comfy cotton pajama pants from La Senza (2 for RM129) for myself, as well as a nice soft pink robe that I can use in the hospital. Those, together with my earlier order of nursing camis from Old Navy should suffice for my hospital stay, I hope!
My room in my parent’s place (I’ll be staying there during my confinement) is slowly but surely starting to fill up with all the baby stuff that I’ve been buying. I’m now searching for a comfortable armchair that I can use when I breastfeed. Preferably one with a high back and a foot rest…considering that we are advised to breastfeed at least 8 to 12 times a day at the beginning, I think it’s worth getting a good one since I’ll be spending alot of time in that chair.
Two and a half months and counting! Wheeeee!
