Beanie @ 38+ Weeks & Gathering

Hi Angeline, I'm still around! I think Beanie is too comfy inside me to come out yet and probably he is such a good boy to let mommy enjoy eating yummy food.. Hahaha.... Went for my checkup this morning and what a way to start Valentine's day!

Happy Valentine's Day to All!

L has been telling her friends and their mommies that I will be delivering on V day. No wonder I have mommies coming up to tell me "All the best" & "Wishing you a smooth delivery" yesterday. Hehehe... She said that coz she remembered last week checkup, doc mentioned that Beanie may be a V day baby. Sorry to disappoint you Sweetie... Your didi decided that he doesn't want to be a V day baby. I think it is better, imagine next time when he grows up, he will be torn between celebrating his bday with us and his girlfriend. Hahaha... Z, on the other hand, believes that didi will be out only on the 24th Feb.

Now back to the checkup.... I lost 500g this week. I have never lost weight (towards the end) for my past 2 pregnancies so I was kind of worried. I mentioned to Doc that my feet was swollen few days ago (now it is ok) and she said it is due to water retention which I remembered it happened in my previous pregnancies. Doc explained that it is either baby is distress or I lost weight due to the water retention(after). I sure hope it is the latter.

What I need to do now till I'm due is to observe the movements of Beanie. If in a day (once morning, afternoon & evening, an hour each) I can feel Beanie's movements 10 times or more, he is fine. If not, I will have to go back to the clinic for CTG (Cardiotocography) scan.

Doc said most likely she will see me again for the next check up (since my kids are born at 39+wk & 40+wk) and I hope so too. I hope he will be born on a weekend so I don't have to worry too much for LZ.

LZdaddy is worried, you should see the way he asked the doc for assurance.... He kept telling me after the checkup that I must eat more and rest more, especially now that we have a helper. But I can't help it that I want to take care of their daily needs, I have been doing that since they were born. Besides, if I don't go fetch them from school and send them for enrichment classes, who is going to do it?

I have been talking alot to Beanie ... Telling him that he can stay inside me as long as he wants. Sometimes, when I was thinking to myself why he is not moving at that time, Beanie seems to read my mind and he moves a little just to let me know he is ok. I think I have been 'playing' with his little feet too, he kept pushing it at one corner of my tummy. The feeling is so good... And yes! I have finally get ready my hospital bag and have washed all his clothing!

After marketing, we rushed home coz some of our friends came over to our house. Yup! We have gatherings 3 weekends in a row! It seems like we worried we may not have as much time to chat the next time we meet coz I will be the first to deliver soon... Hahaha....

I played mahjong! Think this will probably be the last time I play it before I pop!
