I went out for a walk and to shop for baby stuff and all , yet experienced severe leg cramps. Did I finish what I planned?

The mind is willing yet the flesh is weak. I don't know who started these famous lines yet one thing I am sure of, this was so me the past these. Currently in the 20th week of pregnancy and as I shared in my previous blogs I am feeling better. The morning sickness was almost gone, however as my tummy grew bigger, having a visible baby bump, leg cramps started.

This is me now as photo was taken this morning.

I badly needed new sets of dresses as what I've been using no longer fit or looks like what I am wearing. Tight fitted or become shorter, above my knee. So last Sunday, I decided to go out and visit the nearest mall to purchase some stuff. Thinking it was also good to start walking again as exercise since I successfully passed the 1st trimester.

First that caught my attention was at the event center. A giant statue of a dragon was placed at the center of the event area since Chinese New year is coming.

I was supposed to step forward to have a closer view of the dragon as I am soon to have a #dragonbaby yet it was open to the public. If you noticed the above photo printed on the arc says 50th painting exhibit.

Thus, there was no time indicated. I was interested in checking out those paintings not to purchase though 🤣. To wait that long wasn't my intention as that means standing there for too long. At the current body condition, I couldn't endure it.

However, here are a few photos from the exhibit.

Next, I walked upstairs, using the escalator of course to check the Watson's health expo. Might there are some for sale that I needed.

To enter, you need to sign in at the registration's area.

Then you will receive a passport. Just visit the booth of merchant partners, have it signed. After what? You are eligible for their Raffle.

The only booth that I stopped and catch my attention was at Health patrol, to have Anemia screening. There are times, I couldn't get a good sleep so I was slightly worried. Good thing was as per discussion with the Doctor my Hemoglobin are okay even though I am expecting.

While checking other booths I was approach by a promo girl, Hey Ma'am, free samples. I was about to get what she was trying to give me but after checking I laughed. Oh goodness! I don't need condoms 😁. Yet the guy beside me accepted it and even asked for more. Well yeah, good luck boy!

There are still a lot of them but I felt tired so I decided to go down to the 3rd floor department store. Perhaps, I will be checking some maternity dresses.

But this crib was so cute! Simple and the craftsmanship was solid! However, upon checking the price, it was so expensive! More than $268! Whew!

What about these cute bow ties for a baby girl? Then pair it with a colorful dress? I was closed off buying it yet I have a strong urge it would be a BOY! So maybe next time.

Maybe it's better to check dresses and underwear as I badly needed some! I stepped forward but was surprised by a severe pain that started on my feet. It goes up to my thighs!😫The pain was unexpected and I needed to hold into something in order to hold my balance. The mall was air-conditioned but I could feel the sweat start to form on my forehead.

AHHH, it seems I badly needed to go home! When the pain subsided I looked for a chair and sat to have a rest. Guess I had to reschedule my shopping plan or else I might have ended up fainting.

But my tummy was rumbling and my mind was shouting for Ramen 😆! So imagine a pregnant lady walking alone limping going at the ground floor. Believe me, I was close enough to stop and sit on the floor. It was that hard!

After walking that seemed forever, I finally reached my destination. So the day ended with a bowl of Ramen,

So it was like going out for a walk just to have this delicious bowl! Nevertheless I felt better and even walk straight going home after eating 😁.

Hello fellow Hivers! I wasn't able to write an entry for #Wednesdaywalk hosted by @tattoodjay and #makemesmile by @elizacheng last week but now I am back!
