38 weeks

Well, went for check up yesterday, and did a scan. I put on another 0.5kg, so the total is 17kg :-(

As for Ernest, the scan shows that he's around 3kg, which means he has put on 1kg in 1 month...... Wow... I think I need to control my diet, no deep fried and less carbohydrate.

And my legs is a bit swollen :-( That's means it's near... So exciting.....

Summary so far

On me:
1) I have put one another 2 kg, that make it a total of 16.5kg :-(
2) I am becomming more and more tired... sleeping the whole day is not enough!!!!
3) It is getting warmer and warmer.... I can perspire even when standing still in the open. I need a portable air con!!!!!
4) I am a buffalo now, drinking water non-stop, but thank goodness my feet are not so obviously swollen yet (keeping my fingers cross on that)

On Ernest:
1) He's an night owl, like JY, kicking most vigorously in the evening and night. Even JY was amazed at how the whole tummy moved....
2) He likes to stretch.... more to my left, don't know why...
3) He's head on my bladder cause I can never survive half an hour without a trip to the toilet.
4) His favourite sound is people's laughter, but must be loud and long....

On the preparation:
1) Over the weekend, we have shifted all the necssity to mummy's place and all the baby's clothes to our place, now just need time for me to wash the clothes, as I have sorted them out according to months :-)
2) Gynae made a comment which JY and I found it funny, we have to visit her once every week now, if I am not due yet. Well.... perhaps it is a norm for them to say that.

That's all for now, as I am busy briefing colleagues on covering my duties while I am on 3 months maternity leave :-)

Sleepness night from now on

Well, I guess it is confirmed, haven't been sleeping well for the past 3 nights. At first I thought it is too much Caffine (tea for my case) but it is not. Just like this morning, I woke up at 3 am and couldn't sleep till 6am. Well, maybe should find out what's available on the cable to keep myself occupied :-)

And Ernest is getting very easily excitied. His kicks are more and more vigorous, literally, cause you can also see the movement from outside.

Sorting out the clothes

Well, it used to be my favourite pastime, but it is not an easy task. Finally gathered all the generous hand-downs of clothes, accessories and toys from Relatives. It is really a back-breaking task to go through all the things.

While going through the clothes, it is a reminder how disappointing that I am not having a girl. See how cute the ribbons, the colours and the cartoons are. *Sigh* But on the bright side, I won't need to spend much on hair accessories and clothings :-)

Packing my bag

Well, I am not calling it quit, but I am getting ready for Ernest's arrival :-) I am packing my bag to the Hospital :-) It is only 4 weeks left and Ernest will 'popping'.

Well, just going through my list again and again to ensure that I don't leave anything out. And well, going through my shopping list too, hopefully I have gotten everything ready for Ernest.

Very excited!!!!! It is something which no matter how much reading or classes you attend, there will always be a 'Oops! I didn't know that.'

35 weeks now :-)

Went for Gynae check-up yesterday. Well, all is well. Gynae told me that from next week (36th week) onwards, baby is considered full term, so anytime from next week till 10 Apr I will expect contraction.

I can't believe it. I mean I want Ernest to be out, but when the moment is near, it is such a mix feelings. It is just that I have a lot of things not done yet. I haven't clean up my place and the 'Baby Room'.

Oh.. a sure way to get Ernest to dance is to blast the nursery rythmes. He will jerk and move the whole night after that. Good to get him to do some exercise before he 'pops'.

One more month left

Approximately one month left.... Seems like yesterday that I was holding the toilet bowl and vomiting whole day. Time files, and I really wish to know how Ernest looks like, more like JY or me, or a mixture of both of us, or like our siblings.

So far so good, feet not swollen yet and I can still fit into my shoes :-)

Minus points (why I hope the pregnancy will end soon):
1) Leg cramps at night is keeping me awake, as I will be so conscious about it, to really have my deep slumber.
2) Frequent visit to toilet, do I need to elaborate on this?
3) Uncomfortable seating position, I will need to bring a portable pillow to sit comfortably in the bus soon.

Though got 3 minus points, but I am still enjoying my pregnancy, at least a valide excuse not to carry heavy stuff, not to do housework and not to overwork. :-)
