Week 39 - mixed emotions

Today i hit week 39 in my pregnancy which i hope wont last longer than 40 weeks. Im having mixed emotions right now because....

1) Everyone keeps telling me im having a boy, and i have enough pink stuff for that kinda speculation to be disturbing.

2) My doc's been a little ninkinpoop by being politically correct bout his response to my Q, and all i want is some reassurance.

3) The baby's head isnt all the way down wherever it's supposed to be, which means that im not having a baby any time soon.

The house is almost all set except for getting our stuff moved from the current house. We're also sans water heater, astro, master bedroom curtains (not yet ready) and a chest of drawers i wanted for the baby's stuff. Im flat broke at this very moment, and mulling over buying the chest of drawers from IKEA.

I hope the baby'll make an appearance the week of 7 July cos i dont really want the baby to be induced. The thought of having to pull the little sucker out of me is scary....

Week 38 - A Matter of Time

At this very moment im thinking of this episode of Seinfeld where George Costanza turns the area under his desk into his sleeping cubby hole. I wish i could do that with my desk. I am oh so sleepy thanks to that cat again!!! I suspect that he wanted canned food along with his regular breakie, but there was no way that i was going to go downstairs to do that at 6.30am!! How do i get a cat to shut up?

The baby was rather quiet yesterday, and a quick google produced forums where women shared that that was usually a sign that the baby's going to make it's a appearance soon. It freaked me out cos yesterday was FIL's bday, and i dont want the baby to share her bday with anyone else! Later that night over dinner, a lady had a look at my tummy and said that it was still high, so im not due just yet.

OMG...my eyes...i cant keep em open!

Week 37, 2 days - Sleep deprived

Wiley, our gorgeous 1 yr old orange tabby is training me for motherhood. Every morning, the little tyke comes to our room and miaos for food and other things that i havent quite figured out yet. For some reason he was at his worst this morning, waking me up at 6.30 for breakfast and then calling me again every 10 mins!!! He came to sit on the bed a few times, but even that wasnt enough. Hubs didnt hear a thing which isnt a good sign, cos is this going to mean that i'll be the only one hearing the baby?

Im feeling so tired right now...i almost didnt go to work, but what got me out of bed was a colleague. It's her second last day at work, and i should be around...

Curtains for upstairs have been ordered last night, but it'll take 3 weeks for them to be done. What's next is purchase of the fridge, washing machine and gas stove! My savings are almost all but finished, and the sale is currently on and i'd really like to get more baby stuff!

2 1/2 hours to lunch...how am i going to get through the day??

Week 37 - fear of water

This has been quite a week. Im struck by this great sense of hurry to get everything done for the new house so that i can move in asap! We had the house cleaned on Sunday. My little army stood at 3 people strong - Irzah, the artist and hubs. They did a great job of being there when they said they would, and boy, did they clean! My upstairs was gleaming! I stayed downstairs and cleaned the bathroom and kitchen....unfortunately didnt realize what my limitations were and was rather disappointed! The men practically cleaned the whole house while i cleaned here and there.

We had our coffee table delivered that day too, so now our furniture collection for the house stands at 6 pcs!!! On Monday, hubs, me and my mum went to order curtains. Found gorgeous Indian taffeta material at a reasonable place. With a budget of RM600 for 2 rooms, i think it's very possible to dress the windows of the most important rooms of the house! Found so many things that i liked that i wish had more rooms to buy curtains for!

Anyway, enough bout the house! Baby wise, my greatest fear right now is that my water's going to break in someone's car, on my office chair or when im out and about. I've already had a word with Baby A...she's only allowed to make an appearance on the weekend or when hubs is around :)

She does a whole lot of kicking too and moving....i cant wait to see her! Hubs and i are total opposites physically, except for the tall and fair bit. Wonder whether she'll be a mix of both...i just hope that she takes after one of us.

Week 36 - lazy days

Im losing interest in my work and im getting so tired these days! The good news is that hubs and i have 1 middle name chosen and 2 shortlisted for a first name. Im partial to the one that begins with A, so that her initials will be AAA.

To save money, i managed to round a bunch of friends to help me clean the house. Unfortunately, that army of mine is dwindling in number because of a lot of last minute things that come up. Im not defeated yet, but i sure hope that i can contribute significantly to the cleaning.

I dreamt that i had a son who was the cutest chunky lil kid ever (a lil like Fawwaz). Hubs was playing with him and i was enjoying watching them...sigh...

A family friend want to get us a sterilizer which is the fabbest news...im also hoping that someone will get us a baby monitor.

Week 36 - 2, 4 or 6 more weeks to go?

Things are getting a little scarier for me cos hubs and i are preparing to move into a house, and at the same time i may be due in 2, 4, or 6 weeks. We dont even have enough money to buy a fridge yet, and on top of that still have things like curtains, cleaning and delivery charges to pay for! I dont know how we're going to manage.

ok...cant write anymore cos i still havent sorted how im going to get everything done this weekend :(

Week 35 - where have the gentlemen gone?

My company had an AGM recently, and i was asked by my boss to bring 2 projectors and a laptop to the venue. I was carrying those things in addition to a heavy paperbag with press stuff and my office bag when it began to rain heavily. Thankfully for me, bumped into the company driver who took my car keys off of me, and went to get my car in the rain. The reason why i had to do everything on my own was cos im the only person in my department!!!

Well, chivalry ended there, cos from the carpark to the venue on the 1st floor, men only watched as i dragged all those things with me. This included a mat salleh by the way (was expecting more from him)!

Anyway, handled a ton of things on my own for that day which began at 8.30 and ended at 11pm! The next day was as sick as a dog and ended up absent from work for 2 days due to flu-like symptoms - stuffed nose, sore throat, watery eyes and general lethargry.

My poor baby...mummy always thinks that she's a superhero and can do all those things normal people do. Im taking longer to get better cos im not taking the meds that the docs prescribed me. I dont trust Msian GPs. The chances of them giving you the wrong meds are high, and you can be sure that no one's going to get sued if you die thanks to their mistakes. When i was 5 months preggers, i had angin, and a GP prescribed this medication which, after googling, i found out that it has not been certified safe for pregnant women to take!!!!

Baby A's also been very kind to me during my flu, cos she's let me sleep in whatever position i choose :)

Sometimes when the baby's been a little bit too quiet and i get worried, i'd place my hands on my bump and she'd respond with a movement, as if to tell me that she's ok. I still cant believe im carrying a little someone...
