I am Back!

sleepy

Yawn…sleeeeeeeppppppeeeeee.

But I am really sleepy because there were renovation going on at the 3rd class ward. Was supposed to be staying in the 2nd class ward but it was full. Anyway, Praise God for that because we only pay RM40 all in instead of RM350 if I were to stay in the 2nd class ward.

Baby Ezra and myself are doing fine. He is catching up with his sleep right now and I will join him soon after I finished writing this post.

In short, it was a super speedy delivery because I was forced to push even though I don’t have the urge to push yet; my contraction pain was very mild like period cramps only. I got a super cranky Chinese midwife this time around. And she wants everything to be done fast. I think her shift was going to be over soon that is why she is rushing everything.

Leg wide open at 10am, baby came out at 10.10am. You say fast or not??? :D

Will blog in detail once I have catch up on my sleep and figure out what is a rock tumbler for. Assignment lar. . ;)

On My Due Date

No sign of me popping yet! *sigh* :(

I went handphone shopping with hubby and son. I went grocery shopping for MIL. I nap for 2 hours in peace because my children were being “kidnapped” by my youngest sister to accompany her at home while her hubby went outstation. Please kidnap them more often can? hehehe Oh ya, during my nap, I dreamt I had 2 strong contractions. When I woke up, I was hoping it will continue but after waiting for half an hour, nothing happen. :(

I watched Smallville. I drove to my mom’s to fetch my children home and for dinner and now here am I; blogging.

In hubby’s latest post in his blog; he wrote…

“Maybe he is afraid to meet his daddy after listening to the daddy from inside the womb.” You see, when he is very active doing his kungfu kicks, the moment hubby said something to him, he won’t move a muscle! :lol:

“The voices of the sisters and brother screaming, shouting and crying does not help either.” Scared will get bullied by your sisters and brother eh? That is what siblings are for right? If not, growing up will be boring. :P

Ok Baby, please listen. Mommy is going to give you another day. If you still don’t wanna come out and Mommy have to wait for hours at the O&G Clinic for check-up on Friday, Mommy is gonna ask the midwife to smack your butt hard hard the moment you come out! :P

Pregnancy Check-up at Week 40: Bila Lagi Ni???

I gained back the weight I lost in just 6 days! I am at 60.1kg now. My appetite came back and I have been eating out a few times for the past 6 days. I guess that helps with the weight increased. Hubby kept reminding me “Hey, you need to eat. You need the energy to push.”

Baby head is wayyyyyy down but still no sign of labor. Since tomorrow is my due date, I was given a referral letter to go to the hospital by Thursday or Friday if baby still in my tummy.

So baby, please come out tomorrow. Mommy hates waiting for hours at the O&G Clinic.

I Had A Dream

I took a short nap (less than 1 hour) after watching Smallville Season 8 with hubby just now.

I had a dream that I gave birth in the hotel lobby that was crowded with people; right in front of their staircase to the first floor.

In the dream, I was searching high and low for my dear hubby and my son came running to me asking me to carry him. The moment I carried him, I felt my tummy went lower and the baby head came out! I quickly let down my son and lie down on the floor to catch my baby before he drops on the floor. I held my baby in my hand. Baby is so cute!!! :D And I felt no pain at all!!!

Then my eldest girl came and I asked her to find daddy and at the same time I screamed for help. The hotel staff came with a scissor to cut the umbilical cord but I did not allow it coz dun think it is sterilize. :P

This shows how desperate I am to give birth! :lol:

Nesting Syndrome

Hey, I do have the Nesting Syndrome!

Yesterday, with the help of my maid, we did some major dusting in my bedroom. I washed the air-cond filter which I never done before since we bought it 6 years ago! I hope there is no trace of asbestos that can cause mesothelioma cancer.

You know what, I won’t even be using my bedroom during this confinement. I just want to get it clean. Maybe I am just too bored of waiting.

It is good that God made us wait till the point where we can’t wait to get the baby out from our body. I have no more fear of child birth; the pain especially. I just want the baby out by all means! But not going to induce labor though; in His time, baby will say “Hello World”.

Thinking about Holidaying

Since I am still around and not sleepy. I took my nap at 11.30am today!

I am planning for a short family holiday before baby starts on solid; hungry only, shove him my tit-tit. :D And when he is still light to be carried in a baby sling.

The place I want to go is Genting Highland; still can’t afford to take a peep at Machu Picchu travel. After being confined at home during this hot season, a cool weather is what I would long for to release all the heat in my body.

Confinement month is never an easy month for me. The healing process, the sleepless night and the pain due to breastfeeding; before the tit-tit becomes numb. I deserve to go somewhere I like after that. :P

I pick the month of June because my son will be 3yo. The last time we went, we left him behind. This time, ALL the 6 of us will go. :D If it is God’s will, we will go on the last day of the school holiday; low season and I can get FOC rooms and hopefully free theme park tickets too.

Now, I need to go give birth first. ;)

Pregnancy Due Date

When is my actual due date?

According to…

Ultrasound at 19 weeks, my EDD (estimate due date) is 09.04.09. That is today.

Ultrasound at 30 weeks, my EDD is 17.04.09. Long way to go.

I took a look at my 2nd daughter Pink Card, her due date was on the 15th and she came out on the 9th. My eldest and my son was delivered right on their due date at 40 weeks.

Let’s see whether this baby wanna follow after his 2nd sister’s footstep. :)

Unfinished Business

I still have not pop. Baby is too comfortable in my tummy.

Now I am wondering whether I still have unfinished business.

My nose is still blocked and I am coughing a lil bit. Still not in the pinkish of health.

Apart from that, I trimmed my son’s unruly hair and hubby’s hair too.

hair

His hair is above the earlobe now. Not so straight and perfect but at least he looks neater now. :)

Brought my children to their last outing last night.

Got my hubby to trim my long hair and shaved my *ahem*. :lol:

Decided which room I will use for confinement and which room will my girls sleep.

The free range chicken is waiting to be cooked and I’ve given my mom some cash to buy food during the confinement period.

Oh ya! I still have not washed the playpen cum baby cot. Still undecided whether to place baby in there or not.

Still have not sent my car for alignment and balancing. But this one no need me to do right? Hubby can help right?

What else that I have missed out arh?

Trapped in a Box

Felt so suffocated.

The weather is damn hot.

No matter how many times I take my shower, within minutes after coming out from the bathroom, I felt sticky again.

I am having runny and blocked nose. It makes things worst. Breathing through my mouth most of the time.

Water is like oxygen to me. Drinking lots of them. Still no appetite for solid food.

Baby still in my tummy.

From previous experiences, I won’t go into labor until I am in the pinkish of health.

Drinking lots of water also still got runny nose; looks like I have to be extra patient and W.A.I.T.

Helping Baby Clean the Vernix Caseosa from His Body

You want a clean newborn when he/she pops out from your uterus? Drink young coconut water 2-3 weeks before you give birth. Water from one coconut is sufficient. This will help the whitish coating which is called Vernix Caseosa to be shed off from baby’s body.

I am not sure whether this is scientifically proven but my mom taught me this and I am sure her mom taught her this and the list goes on. All my 3 children came out clean; not 100% without the Vernix Caseosa though but cleaner compared to other newborns. How I know? Have you seen Angmoh’s newborn? Their newborn’s body is covered with thick Vernix Caseosa.

Here’s a picture of hubby cutting the young coconut for me yesterday evening.

And here is me posing with the mug of coconut water with my soon-to-be 3yo son. Can see my 9 mths old bump? :D
