I'm now moving into my 8th month of pregnancy. Based on my last checkup 2 weeks ago, everything is fine. The cord was no longer tangled around the baby's neck and this brought me a huge wave of relief! I've been worrying about it since and I'm really really glad to hear this good news. Thanks to all the prayers from close friends and family. I'm truly blessed to have them caring so much for me. Let's hope now that everything will be smooth sailing till delivery and after.
Isebelle was 1.6kg from the last checkup (28 weeks). She gained about 400g. And as for me, my weight maintained, no increase from the previous visit. Not so sure about my upcoming visit, coz I've been eating like mad. Sleeping is getting a little bit difficult now. I have to wake up several times a night just to visit the loo. And I have to shift from one side to the other side time to time as I can't sleep in one position for too long, will have backache and buttock ache. Well, it's just another nature's way of training you to stay alert and be prepared for sleepless nights once baby arrives.
I have almost everything ready for her arrival. Just lacking some essential stuffs, like cotton, 'loo yee' oil, wet tissue, napkin detergent, and etc. Will need to get a cupboard or drawers to store her clothes. I'll be having about a week off the week after next, so, it's time for some spring cleaning and preparing for the lil' one's arrival. Need to do some baby clothes washing, pram washing, clean-up the sterilizer and bath tub. I need to get a new water filter and even a kettle. Oh yes, not forgetting to pack my hospital bag. So many things to do and prepared, I'll just do it in that week off.
This weekend's mission: to get herbs for confinement with mum.
