29 Aug 2007 Almost There – Last 2 weeks
 |  Category: Pregnancy  | 2 Comments

I don’t like to complain but it’s getting so heavy and sore because of the big body with baby :-( . I’m getting really tired of being pregnant by now. I was having hard time just walking around the house doing house work and even by picking up my phone. Like every pregnant woman, I guess during the last three weeks it’s the toughest! Yup, I’m ready to push  the baby out of my body. I guess God makes the last few weeks tough for a reason! I had a doctor’s visit yesterday. I’m dilated 2 cm and have “bloody showing” – don’t worry it’s normal when you’re full-term, it’s just the thinning of the cervix and mucus plug is coming out. Not long to go, almost there!

23 Aug 2007 A Luxurious Day

My sweet husband bought me a gift certificate at the local spa. I had a wonderful time getting a hands and feet massage yesterday. I feel like a million dollar wife/mom getting such a luxury treatment. I would recommend anyone who have a tired day and get pamper at the spa. An hour seems fly by so fast. After getting the massage, I was still feeling lazy. I didn’t cook dinner the night and we decided to eat out. Hahah… definitely a dream comes through for a housewife – well, not that I’ve so many stuff to do! Thanks my husband for being there for me and always being sweet to me. You’re the best!

22 Aug 2007 Count Down I
 |  Category: Pregnancy  | One Comment

I’m already dilated to 1cm++, cervix is thinning and baby is in the good position – head down. Doctor also said that baby can come out anytime now. Now I just can’t decide if I want him out or stay in. Any how, I’m glad that baby is  in the good position for the vaginal birth! I thought the doctor was gonna perform an ultrasound to check whether the baby is head down, but to my surprise, he only needed to insert the finger to the cervix to touch the crown of the baby’s head. Well, not to gross you up with detailed info, but just in case if you’re going through the prenatal check up.

The 37th week is considered an important milestone for pregnancy because the baby it’s now full term. Like Andy said, can be anytime soon. Well.. I still haven’t packed my stuff and baby’s, my last minutes shopping. I yet to come out with my list… I guess I couldn’t procrastinate anymore else will be too late!

 

I hope I don’t scare you off with my big tummy :-)

10 Aug 2007 35th Week of Pregnancy

I have not been updating the blog, and a few people emailed me about my well-being. So, I decided that I need to write to update my situation. I’m still undergo “diet program”, hahh… it’s what I would call it (can’t believe that I need to be on diet while I’m still pregnant) because I have to watch out the carb intake for every meal and monitor my blood sugar. I think so far so good. In the last doctor’s visit, the doctor was impressed that I only put on 1 pound after a month. He was proud of me… needless to say in the previous visits, I put on about 6-7 pounds every month which is too much!! I can see my fingers are full of little holes as a result of lancets poking. Sometimes it hurts, but when I think of the labor pain that I’ll need to endure, well.. it’s not a big deal anymore. Baby Nathan it’s doing well. In the next two weeks, we’ll see whether he has positioned himself to be ready for labor. I’m so excited about it at the same time nervous as the time approaching. One thing it’s that I can’t wait to meet my boy face to face, on the other hand, the first time going through labor, wonder how it’s the process like and so many ???. Well, I’ll know soon.. I guess just like everyone has gone through the labor, it’s painful yet it’s worth to see the previous little one when you hold him/her in your arms.
