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.
