Yes ah! Tonight is my appointment with my gynae. After 5 long weeks! Was supposed to meet her last week but my appointment got postponed for some reason.

I miss baby! Hopefully today she won't have her back facing the front again cos she did that the last appointment and we couldn't get a good picture of her.

Tonight, you put on a good show for Abah and me to see, ok baby? Suck your thumb ke... Pout your lips ke... Do the jiggy like you did during our 12th week visit ... Oh sorry, not much space to do that anymore.

We're at our 34th week now, and truthfully, I feel like I am really quite done with it. Being pregnant is such a wonderful thing that I'm hating myself for wanting to complain so much about it, cos really, I shouldn't have so much to complain actually. My baby is growing fine, my health is fine, and I can eat almost anything without throwing up, Alhamdulillah. What more can I ask for??

I thank God that my whole pregnancy has been so smooth sailing as compared to some others who are/were going through it together with me.

But although I do thank God that I'm still strong enough to still be able to go to work, I hate it that I feel as if I had to literally drag myself to work everyday.

I hate it that I have thoughts about having something go wrong (God Forbids!) so that the doc can grant me bedrest and I don't have to come to work anymore.

I hate it that I have thoughts about baby arriving prematurely so that I can just get it over and done with and we can finally see her!

Sai and Far had their baby at 36 weeks (Yes Far just gave birth last week!! That's me with baby Sofya Eridani at the hospital. Raffles hospital, like hotel room like that, best ah~!) 

Anyway, as I was saying, they gave birth at 36 weeks. So technically, thats 2 weeks more for me. But they say, 1st child, if no complications, can go right up to 40 weeks or even more.

My my... how am I to endure??! I'm almost in Shut Down mode in school. But with the whole Stellar thing going on with P1 this year, theres so many things to do! My class is really going to miss out on the whole programme when I go on leave. Don't know if the relief teacher is going to carry it out just like the rest. But actually, thats not my top concern right now. Haha.. oops.. :X

So with this whole roundabout entry, all I wanted to write about is... I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER!

P.S. Oh yah, no prizes for guessing what gender I'm expecting. If the doc is wrong all these while, it's really going to be quite a joke cos almost everything is so pink and flowery. Oh God, please let the doc be right! Hehe..

Yes.. yes.. I'm one of those women who is expecting a 2007 baby~

YaY!!

Am at 30 weeks... and counting...

Alhamdulillah, everything is going along great so far. Morning sickness ended the moment 2nd trimester kicked in. Hubby got a share of some pregnancy blues. Just look at his tired face. Hihi..

Work is quite a challenge esp. now that I'm teaching P1. Can't really get them to do things for me (i.e. climb chairs). So there was this one time I hanged CNY decorations in my class and I had to climb the window ledges myself. Got a very very big scolding from my colleagues! Haha.. I'm blessed to have such wonderful colleagues. I can say that they really look out for me. Thats probably the reason why asking for transfer is no option for me even though it means having to go through 3 different expressways just to get to work!

Hubby has been the best. I feel most guilty when I have to wake him up in the middle of the night, rudely I might add. "Dear!!!!! Leg cramp! Leg cramp!!!!!" For which he will immediately get up and help me sooth the cramp and amazingly, he instinctively know which leg it is!! Each and every time! Wow. I love you many many lah my dear!! You'll make a great birth partner later on I'm sure. Even though you say you'll probably sleep through my contractions.

Oh and my hobby now is to scare myself with other people's birth stories. Almost every mother I know have been bugged by me to tell their birth stories. With many variations, only one fact is clear and universal... it will HURT. Knowing my threshold for pain is somewhat low, its really making me nervous. But if so many women can do it, so can I. Right??? InsyaAllah. Pray for me.

Before...

...so carefree, jambu and slim..

After...

...very busy busy till so difficult to meet up, still jambu, but a little bit more rounded now.

Far is abt 33 weeks along, me at 29 wks in this picture, Sai just gave birth to a very very cute boy in Dec (he was supposed to be a Jan 07 baby!) and Aida joining the ranks of married women next year!! Good luck to us all!
