While you’re there, see if you can get it out, too!

That’s what I told doctor when she examined me down there today. She said she could feel the head and baby’s in the ideal position and we just have to wait.
I know many first babies are late, rarely do babies born on due date, and “practice” contractions are not real contractions. But…it’s getting to the [...]


and so we thought…

that we were gonna have a Canada-Day baby. I started having lower abs contractions on Monday night, but the contractions went away as I downed a couple glasses of water. Then on Tuesday morning, my back started to contract. So I stayed home the entire day, waiting for things to happen, y’know, contractions, water breaking…
But [...]


15 to go (getting very uncomfortable)

15 more days left untill due date and it’s getting more and more uncomfortable to walk, sleep, sit…My body and mind is tired but my legs are restless and my bladder always feel full and I am always hungry. The kicks and shoves are becoming stronger, especially the nudges on my pelvic area. I have [...]


All Packed

So I finally got our bags all packed. We’re now in wk-36, which means it can happen anytime in the next 4 weeks. Now, I just have to wait for the parcel Mom sent us from Hong Kong…more goodies for baby!
Just 4 more hours of work on Monday morning and I’ll be done working for [...]


5 more weeks…

We’re now 35-weeks pregnant and only 5 more weeks to go. The hospital tour is scheduled for next Thursday, which means I have to find that pre-registration form ASAP!
My nesting hasn’t kicked in yet, as I still don’t feel like cleaning and scrubbing, though the house DOES desperately need major cleaning. I’ll see how I [...]


Forgot what it feels like

Two more days till week 32 and I’ve already forgotten what not-pregnant feels like. Baby’s been doing a lot of jumping jacks the past few nights, kicking me both up and down.
8 more weeks to go…


Food for thought

Mother’s Day dinner last night at Mom’s was one of the least enjoyable dinner I’ve had since becoming pregnant. Let me see, first off, lamb – I can’t eat lamb. Then prawns, shrimps and crabs – I can only eat a little bit. Hard rice – my stomach’s already being squished and shoved to one [...]


No Baby Shower

So I’ve decided we will not be having a baby shower and I’ve said many times to my family that I don’t want one. I don’t care if people are upset that there’s not going to be another “function” for them to attend or show their “family ties”. All I care about is, I don’t [...]


Happy Mother’s Day

A friend at work just wished me an early Happy Mother’s Day. It does feel weird having people wish me a Happy Mother’s Day, but I guess I’ll just have to get used to it soon.
We’re now in our 31st week. Single-digit count-down! My body’s feeling more and more tired lately, with headaches, stuffy nose, [...]


Third Trimester, baby!

We’re now officially in the third trimester! We’ll have our little baby in our arms in less than 12 weeks (that’s if s/he’s born right on week 40). I can’t believe it’s been 28 weeks already. It certainly does seem I’ve been pregnant for years.
Dad passed away last Thursday night…
