Let the countdown begin!

Today is Sunday...

Due date on Thursday...

That means 5 days to go...

Woke up to pee... now couldn't go back to sleep!

Thinking what to pack in the hospital bag.

All I can think of is ...

For mummy :

Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Facial wash
Face towel
Hand wash
2 pair of pants
2 pair of tops
Underwear
Maternity pads
A book


For baby :

Diapers
Mittens and booties
A blanket
A hat for her head
Some face towels
(Should I take milk bottles too???)


Will pack by today.

Tomorrow some people will come to do the laminate flooring for the baby room. Air-conditioner is already up since last Friday. MIL will come on Wednesday night. Hubby will fetch her from Seremban.

(There is an irritating mosquito trying to suck my blood now. So far, he already bit me twice on the leg already!)

Connection problem

Hai... just when i want to write things down, my computer connection has to go kaput! Don't know what is wrong. Very slow. Cannot access internet. Always hang.

So, using my sister's computer at her house.

Well, one more week before delivery. Still doing all the usual daily routine. Shopping, sending Ryan to school, cleaning the house etc. Stopped working already. Get breathless easily. Rather bored at home. Nothing to do. No cooking too. Only cook Ryan and my lunch in the afternoon.

So afraid I forgot to do something. Everything is prepared but still messy.

OK off to One Utama now...

Counting the days...

Hai... another scorching hot day!

Hubby will be coming back late and I will be alone with the boy till late at night. Gets rather lonely sometimes.

My tummy is huge now. Everything I wear is so tight. It is getting really near to the due date now. I am actually half excited and half nervous. I guess I am 85% prepared already. Only thing is to fix the air-cond in the baby room and downstairs. Clothes and essential needs I think pretty much got everything already. Just bought the baby mobile from Tesco today ( saw in Babyland at RM39.90 ) but it was priced at RM35.00. So faster got it. And I got some baby clothes ( Anakku) brand for RM5.00 a top. It is nice to hunt for bargains!!! Feel very rewarding!

I also got some clothes for my confinement already. Some big baggy comfortable tops and bottoms to wear for the entire month that I will be house bound. Also at a bargain at Brands Outlet!! I am going out to the shopping malls at least twice a week now... enjoying my freedom as much as possible and to get as many things prepared!

It is getting harder to walk now. I really look like a penguin waddling away. My ankles are swollen now. At least this time, my ankles only got swollen during the last month of pregnancy. With Ryan, I remember they got swollen pretty early. Sleeping also is getting more and more 'san-foo'!

At the moment, I am cherishing all the moments that we can have mother-father-son time with Ryan. Coz once baby comes out, I don't think we even have time to sit around with the boy and listen to all his stories and guide him with his activities! But I hope hubby and I can learn to divide our time between baby and Ryan... so that the boy will still feel loved and not neglected!

One more month...

Wow.. i cannot believe how time can just fly by like that. You would think that 9 months is a long damn time... but it surely is surreal that it feels like a bat of an eyelid.

I guess the last trimester of pregnancy is 'memang' like that... coz with all the preparation, anxiety and planning...that will take alot of time. Every night now I go to bed thinking about my plans and what I have to do. Think only... but nothing seems to be materialising.

By next month same date, if baby is obedient, she will come out on the due date. I am planning to ask doc to induce her by 4th July. But I think it is a Saturday.

I definitely feel heavier now. Walk also look like a penguin. The only thing difficult is when I get up from a sitting or lying position. Somehow hurts at the groin area. Normal I guess. Other than that, I can still spend the half a day shopping at One U and not feel tired after that.
At this moment, still haven't decided on a name of baby. Chinese name totally still clueless. That is hubby's responsibility. I want a simple name and yet not too common. The names that I like somehow either it doesn't match with the surname or someone I know already has it.

We started catering today. Got tired of planning what to cook and the hassle of buying groceries here and there. One day I will drive to Tesco or Carrefour to get the chicken, and the next day will drive to the market to get vegetables. If I want organic, have to go to Jusco (cheaper).
Three adults rate is RM400 per month. Today's portion was rather small and disappointing. Will see how it goes tomorrow. I just hope they didn't mistaken that I paid for 2 people instead of 3!

Still so many things not done yet! Air-cond, water heater, bouncing chair, to sun the mattress, get my breast pump and steriliser back from my sister...i know everything will be left to the last minute. As usual!


Ps: My sisters treated me to Delicious today at One U. Second time there. Food tasty but rather pricey. Iris got me a baby monitor from HK... nice. So cheap RM120! And I have my first pair of Crocs shoes.
