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. :-)

14 Feb : Ernest is 8th Month Now
Went to gynae check up yesterday and Ernest is 1.8kg, and the average weight for 8th Month is 2kg. So I have not overfed him :-) And his body average diameter is 84mm, which is soooooo small....
I have gained another 5kg, despite my cough, so that's a total of 11.5kg for the past 8 months. A bit off my target to cap at 12kg..... Well, but must fatten Ernest up a bit first.

Active Baby
This CNY is not fun at all... I have been since before CNY and throughout. So I couldn't run a few places at a go. Lost my voice totally and spent CNY drinking only plain water and light food. NO CHINESE GOODIES!!!!
Today went to KKH 24-hr woman's clinic as I couldn't sleep a wink due to my cough and my abdominal hurts when I cough. Poor JY, couldn't sleep too. As I am in my 3rd trimester, they refer me to the Labour Ward. There, they trace Ernest's heartbeat for 20 mins. Well, for others, it is 20-mins but for me, it is around 40 mins. They put 2 probles and strap it down so that can do the recording. According to the nurse, Ernest is very active, couldn't trace his heartbeat properly for a period of time. So in the end I got to lie down for 20 more mins, with the nurse next to me to 'run' after Ernest to get the heartbeat.
Well, at least Ernest is active and well. Not affected by my persistent cough.

Touch 'ME' Not
Ernest is very sensitive to touch.... I was lazing around in the afternoon yesterday and rested my hand on him. Guess what? He pushed back..... not once but twice...
Hmmmm.... doesn't like extra weight on him?
And guess his metabolism is taking over... I perspire every moment.... :-(
More air-con and less walking for me now.

Feelings of Guilt
I felt so guilty on Sunday night. I don't know what happened, after dinner, I just don't feel good. And I think Ernest could feel it too, for he somersult throughout the evening till I throw up everything I have eaten.
Poor poor Ernest, he kicked sooooooooo hard and frequent that I felt so guilty. I must have taken too much junk food that's why I don't feel good.
Must watch my intake of food from now on.
Must compliment JY, he cut frutis for me to eat right after I vomit. Though I couldn't eat much, his effort is much appreciated.

Bye 2007! Hello 2008
It has been a long time since I have blogged.... Just want to summarise what is Ernest's update for 2007 and what will be for the coming 2008
For 2007:
1) My waistline is expanding :-(
2) His kick is getting more and more powerful till I couldn't sleep :-(
3) Everyone is the family is excited and sort of looking forward to his birth (Me esp)
4) A lot of cleaning and clearing to make space for Ernest.
For coming 2008:
1) Hopefully it is a painless labour :-p or rather with no assistance from chemical
2) It is getting more and more diffcult to move around
3) He is more involved in my posture, if he doesn't like a position, he will kick till I shift.
4) He doesn't like heat. Will kick very hard when I am cooking.... Next time I must wear fireman suit to cook.
5) Most importantly, hope Ernest will be a healthy and happy baby :-)
