c-o-c-o-n-u-t

34 weeks
weight ~ 67.8kg

mummy and Baby took our very 1st young coconut yesterday, having lugged 3 back from Giant on sat.

it took quite some effort to identify and confirm which is the right type of coconut suitable for mummy to consume as most of the coconuts in the supermarket are removed of their green outer shell. However mummy was pleased to find them as it is in the supermarket thus explaining why lugging 3 big and heavy coconuts back.

why coconut? it was believed that Baby will be delivered much 'cleaner' without much vernix while some other beliefs include easier/smoother delivery etc (any other beliefs you might have been told?). Taking those beliefs with a pinch of salt, mummy's main purpose of consuming the coconut is to relieve the heatiness that is building within her for some cooling effect.

daddy did a considerably good job in trying to 'chop' an opening in the coconut. hw skillful it must be for those hawkers who are able to chop such a beautiful opening!

it was indeed refreshing and nice, mummy enjoy every bits of it including abit of flesh although she's not supposed to have it as it's known to be heaty.

on a side note, Baby is hyperactive today with lots of vigorous movements which cause mummy quite alot of pain near the ribcage. at one point the pain feel like that of a bruise otherwise squeezy and knotting.

clumsy mummy nearly trip again when she kicked into the kerb behind her car. luckily she managed to gain her balance and prevent hitting her tummy too, phews!
