I’m now more or less at 29 or 30 weeks depending on how you count it. We went to visit our OB this morning since Saturday mornings will be dominated by the childbirth classes for the next month. It turns out Baby Joao is in the transverse position meaning he’s lying down. His head is at my right side while his feet are at my left. Most pregnancy books will tell you to sleep always on your left side so that you don’t cut off circulation to your uterus. That is what I’m used to. Lately however, our darling baby has enjoyed walking from the inside of my stomach whenever I lay on my left side. I used to wonder how I could get simultaneous movement from the left and right side and now I know why. It’s Joao stretching!
On other news, my OB says that I need to gain a bit more weight. I asked her if it was ok to not totally avoid sugar and she said fine from time to time. I made sure Lloyd heard that so that he wouldn’t be totally strict on my diet. Dra. however said not to eat too much carbs. Protein however is good. In celebration of this piece of news I promptly told Lloyd I wanted to eat at Pepper Lunch. 
After our appointment we drove to Rockwell and had lunch at Pepper Lunch where I got to have that sinful Hitokuchi cut steak. Turns out the honey brown sauce is for the meat while the garlic soy is for the veggies. To think that the first time I ate there I was alternating the sauces on the meat trying to figure out which one I liked better 
Lloyd I think got a little umay with the same order. He however loved the shake shake salad and said whoever invented it was brilliant. After consuming my steak I was liable to agree with him on the umay factor and will probably steer away from oily food this weekend.
Lastly, we finally got a yoga mat. No more sheepish grins during our childbirth class floor exercises! Hooray! Siyempre Lloyd wanted to get the generic yellow/gray color but of course I insisted on the hot pink one. He he he. I luv it and can’t wait to try it out tomorrow.
