In case people are wondering how come it’s already past our due date and still no news from us, here’s an update. We are now officially a week overdue. I am feeling more and more uncomfortable but Chou-chou’s ignoring the eviction notices. I went in to see doctor yesterday and she sent me to the hospital for another non-stress test with the possibility of induction. However, since everything seems fine and Chou-chou seems very happy, there is no need to induce me until I’m 10-days overdue. So that means they won’t do anything until Monday. Well, at least we now have a more definite date.
I have started experiencing very mild contractions since yesterday (so mild that I didn’t even know I was having them until the nurse pointed them out to me during the non-stress test). I did have a couple more painful ones last night, but they just came and left, though I stayed up all night until 6am waiting for more to come.
Mom pointed out that my ankles are looking more and more swollen and my walk is more and more wobbly. I guess that means we’re getting so close now I should carry a towel everywhere I go in case my water breaks. We’ve stocked up the fridge one last time before Chou-chou arrives – got tons of chicken, eggs, pork bones, 莧菜, 節瓜, apples, juice, ginger…and no more 白菜 and 芥菜 for the next while.
My only fear now is being overdue, the baby’s gonna be bigger…oh the delivery…
