Once again, thanks everyone for the warm wishes, be it through tagging, tweeting, plurking, sms-ing, Facebook and etc =D
And of course special thanks to all friends who visited me in Thomson Medical! Mad appreciated! ^^
Felt really touched!
I'm feeling better now, stitches not as painful as before. Baby Reverie is doing great too!
Birth & labor post have to wait because I couldn't sit on a chair YET (can is can lah but I try to avoid it as much as possible =X). Sitting down and getting up a chair makes my stitches wound hurt (I'm standing bloggin' now, LOL!)
For pictures of Reviie, view my Facebook as I've updated only 2, but friends who've visited me have tagged me pictures they've taken of Reviie =D
Here's one of them!
My lil' sweetie honey pie xD Eyes half open thou =X Abit blurry coz don't wanna hurt her eyes with flash.
Looking very much forward to holding her in my arms. Very excited and afraid. Pain, pain and more pain stuff ._.
Took one last picture of my tummy. Not sure if I will miss my big tummy because it has been quite an inconvinience carrying it around. Like can't walk through squeezy places and etc, LOL!
Blahhhh ~~~
Wishlist for tomorrow
- Quick labor
- Reviie to arrive smoothly
- Reviie to be healthy :D
- She will definitely be cute and pretteh in our eyes :D
- Get it over and done with so I can discharge from hospital quickly!
I will be updating my initial labor progress through plurks or tweets if I can manage it. So if you are curious/kepo/concern, please follow me =X
Bought this pink musical bunny quite some time ago from MotherCare. Love playing it to Reviie whenever I'm free after her BabyPlus session & she always responds quite well to it =D
Went for 36th week checkup today with much anticipation coz I've been feeling "wierd" for the past 1 - 2 weeks.
Mainly because I have a little bloody discharge on last Saturday and keep feeling that my "that place" is splitting open -.-!
So I'm like thinking, "maybe I'm dilated." As I'm working as a childcare teacher, I move, carry kiddos, walk more than normal pregnant office ladies who practically have their butts stucked at their rotating chairs. People say the more you walk/move/whatever, you will dilate easier compared to those who did not.
So yeah, during my last checkup 3 weeks ago, the nurse told me to come in before 10am if I wanna come in the morning. I love morning checkups lah, so I decided to reach a minute before 9am even thou' my appointment time is at 5pm =X LOL!
And you know what?! I forget that the clinic 10am then open! I'm early for an hour! LOL! Laogong so LL =X So we when for breakfast at McDonald's and Laogong continue to revise for his marketing exam that's in the afternoon.
When it's my turn, told Dr. Ang about my bloody discharge on Sat and keep feeling that place splitting =X And he say he shall check for dilation later as the bloody discharge is false alarm because if it's real, I'm carrying my baby right now, so true =X LOL!
Checked through ultrasound and Reviie is 2.3kg right now =D Gained 400g since last checkup, Dr. Ang says her weight range is perfect because when she's out, she will be around 2.6kg ~ And as usual until cannot be usual, that tigeress still refuses to faceup for 3D ultrasound scannings -.-
Dr. Ang then asked his nurse in to help him in checking for my dilation, the nurse then bring Laogong's hand to me and give him a smile. I believe that's because she knows that I will scream in pain and grab Laogong's hand tightly or something -.- LOL!
But lucky me, I've read on forums that when checking for dilation, RELAX! If not will be friggin' pain! Some ppl say freaking pain, some say slight discomfort, some say not much feelings.
So I told myself to be relax and it turn out painless and discomfort-less! Kuakuakua xD And when Dr. Ang check he goes "Oh dear, you are going to deliver very soon"
. . . . . .
. . . . . .
. . . . . .
Laogong & I jitao stun there -.-!
I'm 2 - 3cm dilated already!
He says that I'm safe to go into labor anytime now =D He was checking with his pregnancy chart of timings & I asked the magical question.
"Is it possible to deliver on the 17th or 26th? My mum chose the dates for me"
He checked his calender and he says okay! I shall visit him again on the 17th of Feb for final checkup, if everything is okay, I should be delivering Reviie on that very day!
But he also mentioned that it's very hard to say, I might even go into labor earlier than the 17th. Blahhh -_-!
So now, Reverie dearie, even if you do not want your birthday to fall on the 17th of Feb, please tahan another 4 more days, on or after 14th of Feb ~ When the year of tiger is here!
So so so happy! Can't wait to see our little girl soon! =D
I simply love love love my maternity leave (so far) and I've scrabbed and wiped and mopped our entire room. Smell so refreshing and nice!
I got this hugeee burning desire to clean up our room at the very start of my maternity leave. But because of the stupid hemorrhoidds that's being a royal pain up in my ass, I keep delaying my room cleaning process until one day, despite the pain, I DID IT!
I have totally no idea what's with this burning desire to clean up the room until I read this in the forums the very next day after I've cleaned up everything ;
A nesting instinct is when pregnant women feel an uncontrollable urge to clean their house and everything around them. Females in the animal kingdom exhibit the same behaviour just before their offspring arrive. You may want to clean everything you see, or throw out anything old and grubby, or you may retreat into familiar company and the comfort of your own home. The nesting instinct can appear around the fifth month, but if you are close to being 40 weeks pregnant, it may indicate the onset of labour.
So zhun loh! So I got this nesting instinct thing lah! And read the last line! "... but if you are close to being 40 weeks pregnant, it may indicate the ONSET OF LABOR"
Wah! Does it mean I'm gonna go into labor soon? =X Reviie please tahan 2 weeks later after Chinese New Year thank you very much -_-!
And guess what?! I've completed all my purchases for the maternity & baby checklist! Kuakuakua, so proud of myself =X
Anyway went shopping for new year's clothing with my family and Laogong last sunday at TPY hub. Not that I need any CNY clothings lah, now I can only fit into maternity clothings but I'm gonna deliver soon. Might as well not buy, waste!
Saw the musical crib mobile I've always wanted for Reviie! & my Laopeh pay for it! Kuakuakua =X
Winnie the pooh & friends are sort of my favorite cartoon characters. Love Baby Eeyore since dunno when and have 2 jumbo pushies of him, 1 jumbo pushie of piglet, 1 normal size baby pooh & recently gotten a mini pushie of tigger for Reviie (Coz she'll be born in the year of tiger =X)
Tigers are significant towards our relationship because Laogong is a tiger and during the time we just get together, instead of saying "I love you" to each other, we shyly say "wo laohu ni" LOL! Mad lame I know =X And now our girl is gonna be a tigeress too ~~~~~
Love this musical mobile as the rotating speed isn't very fast, which will most likely make Reviie headache if it does =X The music are cutee! 3 different kinds of music for sleeping & playing time =D
Initially wanted to buy it at Causeway Point when we first saw it coz it comes with a free Marie stroller toy, when back after I've gotten my pay and the one with free Marie toy is gone! So angry & disappointed loh!
But at TPY hub's kiddy palace, there is still free Marie stroller toy! I love love love Marie lah! She's like the only cat I love because she's so "bimboticaly" chio in pink =X LOL!
Hang it on Reviie's Juicy stroller already =X When you pull the Marie, the hands will go up and down shaking, mad cute! LOL!
Decided to remove the stroller's reversible pink velour padding coz very easy dirty! Later cannot wash away I heartpain ah ._. Coz I doubt can buy the padding alone o.O
Weeeeeeeeeee, Callie & Fang love pink!
I wonder if Reviie will like pink next time? Or find pink absolutely revolting coz she've seen too much of it since birth? LOL!
Hard to say eh =X
Lalalas, shall prepare to go Paragon now! Wanna checkout mothercare store for this organic liquid form powder. Read from Sherlyn's blog about talc causing overian cancer and it scares the fish out of me and I immediately dump the 2 huge bottles of powder I've gotten for Reviie =X Then when to do more research, some ppl say powder form not good as they cause breathing difficulties -_-
Zzzz, so lehcheh lah. So I when to mothercare at CWP & ask about this liquid powder and they show me liquid talc -_-! Almost fainted on the spot. Lucky this supplier guy who happens to be there told me that other mothercare store carry this brand call "baby buds" or something that is the liquid form of powder and is organic blah blah blah without any talc. Gonna check it out later =D
Always see mummies taking pictures of their tummy but I'm friggin' lazy + no time to post it! Working what, now maternity leave liao sibeh free =X LOL
And yes, my tummy is free of stretchmarks for now, genetic I guess, my laobu also no stretchmarks even thou she's like 45 kg only. Heard some mummies says theirs pop out at week 36 -_-? But my butt is full of them. Whatever, no one will be looking at my butt also, LOL!
Not sure if it seems big or small in the picture for a 34 weeks preggy lady but my kid's parents are always commenting about how small my tummy is for a 8 & 1/2 months ._. Not only them, sometimes random people who ask hw preggy I'm too!
Then they will go "Wah very small hor your tummy" -_-! Then I'm like "But Dr. say my baby weight just nice/okay leh" =X LOL!
So long as Reviie is growing fine and gaining weight alright, I doubt my tummy size makes a difference lah, blahhhh ~~
