Week 36... woah

This may not be my "usual" pose but I thought this time I'd give you a point of reference. My belly is more than twice the size of Gerwyn's head and definitely bigger than a basketball. There's only four weeks left and I'm starting to get to that "uncomfortable" stage, just walking down the street seems like the hardest workout. As terrified of labour as I am, I'm looking forward to letting go of this constantly moving bowling ball weight in my belly.

In other news, my mom and sister arrived from CT on Wednesday and its been a whirlwind of activity ever since. Friday Gerwyn spent the day with the fam while I was at work. They went for Vietnamese for lunch, shopping on Gerrard Street (old Chinatown) and then we all met up for dinner at Wah Sing for lobsta, spicy squid, soft shell crab fried rice and cantonese chow mein, all the favs. My belly was so full after I had to sleep sitting up to make sure I digested. My mom's been cooking up a storm as well, Korean ribs, bbq'd fish and mon-doo (dumplings). Seems like she's always doing something in the kitchen. (I'm not complaining!)

Today we took a little tour of the city, seems that in my mom's 35 years in Canada, she's never even been to the CN Tower or Harbourfront! So after a quick visit of Sooky's temporary condo, we walked to the tower and then the waterfront. It was beautiful out but with this belly, I barely made it to Harbourfront before feeling like I would pass out. I had to sit down and let my mom tour the rest of the boardwalk on her own. Luckily we met up with Sooky again so she could drive us home. Now we've settled down with a Korean movie courtesy of Rogers on Demand. Its called "An Eye for an Eye" and although labelled as "Korean with English subtitles", it seems to be missing the subtitles so I'm blogging instead. As of this Tuesday, I'm down to 3 weeks left before our little lady makes her big appearance. Maybe I should get started on getting my hospital bag and baby's room together...
