Week 38 & 4 days
This week’s update is late, mainly because I wanted to capture the gynae’s visit and updates here as well, which happened yesterday. Well, well.. Almost at the end! I could feel it physically, literally. The usual swim session on Sunday didn’t happen last weekend. The boy refused to let me go as I was suffering from pelvic pain (feels like the bone is mis-aligned) and I could hardly raise my left leg at all. Walking is a pain with every single step and I cannot put any pressure without feeling the pain.. So instead of waddling like most preggie women do, I waddle with a limp. It’s quite a sight…

The babies goes for a wash..
In anticipation of the arrival of Jerry, all the babies get a wash too! Last wednesday, when the sun was good, my mum started on the deed. I’m quite amused at how my mum hangs them out to dry.. But guess who gets left out and is happily sleeping on the bed? Haha! This greeted me when i got home.. I thought it was left out on purpose but my mum insisted that she took everything to the wash.. Oh well, till the next wash. All my toys are clean and smelling really nice but der hates the detergent smell and prefers his smelly babies. Heh. Posted via LiveJournal app…

Feeling vulnerable.
This whole pregnancy shit really throws me off sometimes., I didn’t feel like I am in control, especially of my body. I can’t help but feel vulnerable at times. Like how I cannot control my sleeping pattern, I keep having interrupted sleep ad waking up in the middle of the night. Can’t control my stomach on when it decides to keep the food I take or make me throw up just moments after.. This morning is a typical example. I woke, tried to sleep and can’t.. Felt hungry so had a small bowl of kokocrunch, and just moments later when I lie down to rest and possibly nap before I…

Bok bok bok.. It’s goes!
A visual representation of jerry’s heartbeat on the CTG machine! It was a long wait and an uncomfortable 20 mins as I didn’t quite dare to move. There were times where Jerry moved about and the heartbeat rate changes, other times, I find myself unconsciously holding my breath (ain’t sure why!).. And I do get real nervous when his heartbeat increases. =) At times, it goes up to 150 which freaks me out a little. Well, at the end of it all.. I’m just glad that he’s fine! How the machine looks like, just for the record. Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone.

thoughts on the pregnancy journey..
i am staring at the screen for like the looooongest time, and i have no clue how to pen down the thoughts i had in my head. i feel like a bad mother-to-be today. i went to see the gynae today and its seems that jerry is a little too small than he is supposed to be at week 37. the gynae sounded a little concerned, but he was telling me that it may be a good thing because it means it’s easier to give birth since its a smaller baby. i’m not sure if he was just trying to encourage me and assuring me that everything will be fine.…

Late night snack for the baby
As if the 4am insomnia for the last 2 months isn’t a good enough torture, I gave been waiting up feeling really hungry these days. Feels like I’m back in my first trimester when I had to munch biscuits in the dark (for fear of waking hubby)! So these couple of days, I have been surviving on this! Koko krunch! I’m on my 2nd box in just a couple of days.. Good thing that the fridge is well stocked of milk by the hubby! Now that my baby is satisfied, I can go back to sleep!

Packed!
Hospital bag, all packed! I actually packed it 2 weeks back and was adding stuff in it every other day…the bag just got bigger by the day and I had to switch to the biggest longchamp bag that I own.. Today, it’s all done! All ready to grab and run.. Except that I actually won’t be running. Not when I’m in pain I think, IF I’m in pain. Am really not sure what to expect.. Meanwhile, I’m reminding the hubby to dump in my gadgets on the actual day! Netbook + charger, camera + charger, my phone charger and a book! Guess you can tell where my priorities are! Posted…

Hello week 37!
Time flies! The countdown ticker is now at 3 weeks! The app says that the baby is estimated to be about 3kg! The last time I saw my gynae (3 weeks back), the baby is only 1.8kg! It sure didn’t feel like he has grown so heavy! I really can’t wait for the next gynae visit. There are times where I feel like just making an appointment and some excuse to see him and view Jerry through the ultrasound (not much chances left too) but it’s a tad silly and I really don’t need to see him. His time should be better left to other mothers who are genunienly in…

Presents for Jerry from auntie Jen!
I think all babies are lucky beings. They are always being gifted with presents before they are out! Mum here ain’t so lucky because my dear Jen went Xiamen and I didn’t get a present! Jerry has not 1 but 2 presents from her! Unfair! Mr bunny here is totally baby friendly, no eyes, buttons or small parts. I haven’t thought of a name for him yet. Currently, he’s occupying Jerry’s bed! And he got another onesie too! It says suitors in q! I’m quite sure daddy will agree with that tagline cos he thinks Jerry is sure to take after his traits! More clothes for my boy.. The wardrobe…

The last big purchase for Jerry!
Been meaning to blog this down but I seemed to be really tired these days. I guess all that sleepless nights (waking in the wee hours of 4am everyday) is taking a toil on me as the weeks and months passes, especially since work has been equally draining and I had to force myself to concentrate in order to meet those deadlines. Am also stressing out about my long overdue claims (I’m so not diligent in that matter) and stuff like packing up my desk, and starting to work on my handover.. Feels a little deja vu because this was exactly what happened last year when I was prepping for…
