Ever since my baby bump became noticeable...I've encountered many aunties/ salesgirl in the dept store who like to talk to me and 'speculate' about the gender and birth timing of my baby..based on the shape of my bump...

Yesterday I was at the foodcourt waiting for my order and two aunties from the stall next door asked me if I am expecting a baby girl, cos they felt that my features and body shape did not change alot...I laughed and said 'No, I am expecting a boy'..but at the back of my mind i was thinking, 'wait a minute, have you seen me before? how come you all know that I did not change much?'? hahaha...It was pretty funny....and our conversation went on for 5 minutes until my food order was ready....

Then today, while buying pancake, the auntie asked if I am expecting a set of twins!!!! And I laughingly told her 'No, my tummy is big cos I am due in a month's time'..and they went on to ask about the gender of my bb, etc..etc....and they were so happy for me that my first bb is a bb boy, dunno why Aunties always have the notion that Hubbies (in general) will be very happy if the first bb is a boy...(I'll always tell them that my hubby prefers a bb girl!!) and the 'interview' went on for another 3 minutes....

And for the past two weeks, I've got well-meaning aunties on the streets speculating that I am going to give birth soon cos my tummy is lying really low now...and that got me really nervous...haha...

Seems that when you are preggie and walking on the streets, you became the object of 'speculations' for aunties....hehe...

I was 'admiring' my baby bump in the mirror the other night and to my horror of horrors...i spy a few 'faint lines' at the bottom of my tummy peering back at me!!!!!

As I am one month away from my due date, I did not expect to discover stretch marks at this stage of my pregnancy...but alas...I could not escape the fate of almost all preggies..the much dreaded STRETCHMARKS...

I immediately text dear and told him: "I gloated too early, I just saw stretchmarks on my tummy!!!!!!".....

Last weekend, I asked the godsisters to show me their stretchmarks and I was pretty surprised that the marks are still pretty prominent even though they have given birth more then 10 years ago....

Hmm, I am not really affected by it, just a tad 'surprised' to see them popped out so late into my pregnancy....

Anyway, I've already pre-warned dear about the saggy bits and stretchmarks 'to come'....

Motherhood does comes with a price, don't they? hehe....
