090909
Today sounds like a nice date to remember.. 090909.. Lots of ple say it a good date for marriage.. 999 in Chinese means long-lasting. However, as it falls in the lunar 7th mth, aka ghost mth. Therefore no much weddings are held on this date. Maybe some ROMs or non-chinese are having weddings today bah.
For me, I’m not gtg married again. I just hoping & praying that my girl will pop! Today is the 37th wk & 6th day! I only left with 2 wks to EDD, so why cant she juz pop today? I have so much difficulties walking ard, sitting down, & even laying down to slp. Cant really slp well even if I slp early at nite. Keep waking up juz to shift my tummy from one side to the other side. I have to occupy 2/3 of a king-sized bed! Terrible!
Anyway, I love today date coz it gng to be easy for me to rmbr her birthday if she is born today. I always take some time to recall my son’s bday. What a failure mummy m I hor! But I read in the forum that TMC is super crowded last nite, bed & labour wards r full! Tink every mummies like me wan a 090909 baby. I don wan to be induce. I’m wan a natural born baby.. so all I can do now is WAIT for water bag breaking, spotting or more closely-interval contractions…
Girl, r u coming out today???

Birthday
My birthday was last Sunday. Somehow I felt there was nothing much of a big celebrations anywhere. Maybe I’m too tired and was waiting for a bigger birthday surprise, which eventually never took place.
Poly frenz celebrated wif me last mon, actually they chose a nice cosy antique restaurant to celebrate, but I saw the menu was quite plain, so I opt for another Japanese rest, related to Ajisen. Nothing much happen except eat & chat..
Previous Saturday, hb treated me to buffet lunch at kushinbo –suntec. Next we went for a 1-for-1 ride at the Singapore Flyer.
Sunday, we went down to my parents’ place. My mum cooked crabs for my hb.. coz he’s a picky eater. Nxt hb n I headed to swensen to buy an ice-cream cake n brought back to my mum’s hse to celebrate & eat.
Last thu, my colleagues though of throwing a surprise bday party for me.. guess it shd be a cake. But I refused to cancel my Friday leave, so no party was held in the end. But still I’m glad they have the thought! Haha~
My sis bought me a pink-rabbit vibrating pillow. My son luv the pillow so much.. but he know it’s MY pillow.. so he don dare to dirty my pillow.. Haha~
That’s how I spend my birthday. Simple & plan rite?
Well, I wasn’t dare to plan any big celebration as I was hoping that my ger will pop on my bday to celebrate wif me. But nothing happen during that 24hrs. She’s still nursing in my tummy.. kicking me every now & then.. giving me lot of fake alarms…
I went to the forum to chk juz now. Saw 2 pax has popped. 1 popped on 27th, another pop on 20th august. The 20th Aug was born at 35th wk, and he is so healthy that he get to discharged as normal even though he’s a pre-matured baby.
Ytd I went to visit my gynae. I was told I gained 1.1kg in 2wks time. But sadly, my ger has only gain 100grams! Gynae say mayb the previous scan was overstated, or this rd scan was not accurate as the ultrascan wasn’t clear enough. Baby is only 2.28kg at 36wk 4days old! How to give birth naturally even if I wan her to pop today, 010909! Or 090909 with her small size? I hope she gain more weight n at least 2.5kg wen she pop. Today doesn’t seem to have much symptoms… so a nice birth date 010909 is most likely out again!
I have so much difficulties in walking ard, sitting n lying down.
I’m very tired, tiRED, TIRED!

Ready, Well-Prepared!
I’m quite emotionally breakdown recently. Maybe due to lack of slp. Couldn’t slp thru the nite with my extreme big tummy. So any idiot who come harass me will get his mouth stuck to his asshole!
Ok.. enuff of venting my anger. The issue is none of my biz, so no use blogging or complaining here.
Oh yes.. I’m 5wks away from my due date. Baby is super active, maybe due to the lack of space for her to turn ard. She’s quite big in size, from wat gynae mentioned. Guess I stuff her wif too much buffets n sweeties.. Cant stop my mouth fr biting those sweet stuffs, durians, buffets.. Always put on extra fats during preggie one!
Last fri, I experienced bad contractions.. ard 6-7 times for the whole day. Went for checkup on mon, gynae say it normal for 2nd pregnancy. Unless it so frequent that it has a few time within an hr, den I muz report in for delivery. Gynae also mentioned tt baby is big & safe to deliver now if she wan to pop out. Coz her weight n size is acceptable, although pre-mature, but still safe. For me, I don wan her out now.. she muz wait for another 1wk+, n pop out on my birthday. Tt is wat I hope for.. hee~
I cleared most of my pending lists:
-Signed up wif cordlife for cord blood banking.
- Confirmed my maternity leave wif my boss, distribute works to fellow colleagues
- Cut my hair VERY short.
- Prepared toys for exchanges btwn bro & sis.
- Got a set of beautiful name for baby.
- Hospital bag is ready, except camera & lappie only.
I only left baby clothes to wash, camera & lappie to check for charged battery. But still I hope baby only pop out on my birthday. Then it will be the best bday gift for me.. although I cant celebrate if it really happen on the same day.. but in future.. I get to celebrate wif her together!

80% Prepared!
How I arrived at 80%? I dunno either. But I noe I more than 50% prepared for my delivery. I bought most of my things. So if I were to deliver now (which I hope not), I still can rush to the hospital wif a well-packed hospital bag!
Then wat abt the missing 20% +/-? Some of the things are still washing & drying.. so not yet pack into the bag directly. The newborn baby clothes are not yet washed. Me waiting till Aug then will wash them. Don intend to wash too early now. I still got 9wks to go. After I deliver, we need to shift the master bed & make way for the baby cot.
I ordered my confinement food catering & book my malay massager. I’m glad I managed to book a really cheap 1. The usual rate is ard $40-90 per session, & I got mine at only $34! Hope she is good! I still cant find my prenatal class notes. There are some exercises which I wanted to practice in the notes.. but I couldn’t find it ard my hse. Sad!
And names for my daughter?? Nothing yet! Sad! I need inspiration!
Last sat, my family met up wif 2 other families for a gathering. I was asking the other mummy & was surprise to find out that she still nursing her almost 2yo daughter. Oh my.. I’m very shocked & amazed at how great this mummy is. I couldn’t even pass 1mth. And she can feed up to 2yo. I salute the mum! Since I invest $200+ into a brand new pump, I must be determined & hardworking.. I must BF for at least 2 mths or even 6mths or more.. Shd put my target as 1year minimum. So to ensure I have sufficient BF support, I must get myself more nursing bra! Haha! Coz the more I spend.. the more I will feel the heart pain if I quit halfway. Am I right? Even a fren encourage me.. saying the amt I save from formula milk & the get-back-to-my-pre-pregnancy-size Marie France is more than enough for me to travel to Japan! Right? I shd aim towards the correct direction! Achieve my goal.. & be a more hardworking mum!
Oh ya, we have decided to bank my daughter’s cordblood. It gng to costs us $1k, but tis amt can be deducted from her CDA a/c.. so not so bad on my budget. So hopefully we are able to sign up before I deliver. Lol~
2 of my colleagues have delivered their babies. 1 is a male colleague’s wife who I suppose give birth to a boy on last sat or sun. The other is a Korean colleague who delivered a girl on sun. Congras to both Andrew & Michelle!
And I noticed a lot of my hb’s colleagues are giving birth to baby girls. My tummy is 1, Suan wen’s wife is another 1, Loh’s wife who is prgnt wif no. 2, is also a girl! My friend, Shihui who is prgnt wif no. 2, also a girl. Yeah! It’s gng to be female cows all over! Moo~~~ lol..
