Yesterday was not the day

Well.. each day goes by.. each small reaction/strange feeling in the stomach, i would mentally ask.. is this it?! But nope.. yesterday was not the day. Wonder whether today it will be? Still too early to tell. Well.. regardless, if the baby does come on her own by 30thOct, the doctor will induce. Hee.. so longest to wait is only 4 more days to the due date. I shall enjoy the free time as much as i can now.

Starting my long break...

Friday was one of those crazy days.. superbly busy. There were people suddenly realised that i am on maternity MC from Monday then straight to 2 months maternity starting Monday and hence they wanted info, documents..etc..etc. Well... help as much as I can but honestly!!! I will be on my long break.. i really don't care! ha ha.. actually it is more of the thought that i can take a break from work that really makes me very happy now. I am sure when the baby arrives i will be superbly busy, lack of sleep..etc..etc. but should be worth the effort and trouble just seeing the little baby right?

Can't wait...

False Alarm

Oh No.. i still haven't perfected my breathing!!! While i was driving home a couple of days ago, i had tummy pain. It felt like contraction and i was really worried because i was in a semi jam! Not terrible jam but not smooth driving either. All things ran through my mind: "shall i turn to the hospital now?", "Shall i call hubby to alert him?", "Oh no i haven't packed my hospital bag yet"... off all things, i forgot about my breathing! GRRR... really need to practice more and do better preparation. But anyway... when i got home lie down, the pain subsided.. so i guess it was false alarm. Told this to my aunt and she said i should not drive alone now. Unfortunately there is no choice. Ok.. there is one choice which is that i take early maternity as hubby emphasised. Poor thing, i know he is definitely very stress out and worried about me. I guess i still feel responsible for my job and my team.

I promise i will take it easy!

Journeys

These days it is quite common for me to write one post in a month. Well.. when priority changes.. this is what happened.

I suddenly feel like writing a post which suits the blog name... Journeys. Whenever there is an end to a journey, another one starts immediately. Well... i am feeling quite sentimental these days not only because of pregnancy hormones, but also the end of pregnancy journey. Which of course leads to the start of "being a mom" journey, "raising a kid" journey, "sleepless nights" journeys.. and so on. I am on my 36/37 weeks of pregnancy now. Went to see gynea for the routine check-up last Friday and he said everything is good except the baby size is too big. She is at 3.03kg (approx 7.2lb) now. Quite a heavy baby especially there are 3 to 4 more weeks to full 40week term. Hence the decision is that if she doesn't come naturally by 30th October, gynea will induce for birth. Although this is a normal procedure these days but honestly i am scared. I have always imagine for water break/bleeding and contraction then rushing to the hospital. But looks like it will probably be leisure wake up and admit myself to hospital for birth. BUT of course.. there is a possibility the baby will still decide to come naturally next week. Well.. nevertheless, it is all very exciting! 10days time there will be a screaming kicking baby!!! Whom will be pampered and adored by everyone at home. I just hope she won't be a spoiled brat when she grew up.

Last weekend was quite a frantic weekend for hubby. Because of this new development, he has to rearrange the furniture in the bedroom to accommodate the baby bed. Mom also got into the mood and start washing, sunning and drying all baby stuffs.. clean and rearrange the furniture for the room downstairs as her napping room with the baby when i go back to work. There were just a lot of action at home. The only zen person remained last weekend was TTB. Ha ha ha...

Gynea has given me 4 day MC starting Monday to prepare for birth.. then maternity starts on 30Oct. I can't wait to get a break from work.. but also anxious about the new journey.

I wonder whether we have left out anything we haven't bought or prepared for the baby arrival.
