Time is going by so fast that I remember just the other day I was 5 weeks pregnant. I'm so amazed that its already 16 weeks. I felt baby move last night it was so amazing. Thankfully I got some tissue salts to help with the swollen feet and the water retention. Tonight at the gym i'm thinking of going for a swim before heading out to celebrate the beginning of a new year.
In a few hours it will be 2008, then in five months time little Kassan will be here. We can't wait. Friday, Jan 4th I will be going for another scan.

Hello Belly!!
I have gotten so big, maternity clothes are so handy right now. I had to laugh when a long time friend of mine asked me if I am 6 months pregnant and I'm only 4 months, that is how big I'm carrying. But its getting easier, seeing as I am at the gym with a personal trainer to stay fit, along with swimming in the evening. Unfortunately I am going to have to buy a maternity bathing suit as my normal one is getting to tight. The guys in my office have really taken to me being pregnant and keep scolding me when I get worked up LOL.
Roshan was so sweet this morning, talking to my belly. Every morning he kisses me good bye but not forgetting to kiss my belly as well. I'm having problems with my breasts itching, thankfully I found out that its normal. I haven't gained any weight though, but seem to be loosing weight, the belly is getting bigger though along with my swollen ankles.

Tired...sore!!!
I am so tired today then again I was up at 05:30am this morning preparing salads for the xmas lunch, which I was going to take through to my mom's place later in the day. LIke every year there was so much food on display and as usual not everything was eaten. For the first time today I saw how swollen my feet had gone, I had removed my shoes and when I tried putting them on again to leave, they couldn't fit. Then again I'm told this is all part of being pregnant.
I'm working night shift right now and I am exhausted. Unfortunately as I am the only professional in my field who is on duty tonight I am unable to go home. All I know is that I am going to sleep the rest of the next day.

15 weeks and the vacation is over I managed to get a workout at the gym today. It felt great, I was able to do some training on some of the machinery as swimming and walking every night was becoming boring.
Today I finished all of the christmas shopping thankfully now I don't have to go out like the rest of the crazy people to rush buy gifts. Luckily everything fit into my budget so I didn't over spend. I managed to buy essentials along with everything else. I am so angry as I had typed out the whole page previously. Oh well, I guess this one will be more exciting to read LOL.
Tomorrow I am back at work so the vacation's over. Back to the grind stone. Roshan bought me some gorgeous maternity clothes yesterday, a beautiful blue blouse and ballerina pants(they are very popular I'm told). The store we found had some really gorgeous goodies, and I know I will be shopping there later on during my pregnancy.
It was really hot today, 30 degrees out, and I was suffering in the heat. Its alot cooler right now, and I am amazed that I managed to get a tan in such a short space of time. Thankfully I read an article in one of the baby books that I need to apply sun tan lotion before I leave in the morning especially for the heat here in Cape Town.
