After being head down for a month or so, my baby stubbornly still wants to move around at his 37th week. I couldn't believe that he has turned head up in the last few days, or so says the ultrasound today. No doubt that was the reason of my really uncomfortable sensation in my womb few days back. He turned around !!I wonder how he could still have enough room to move about like he did, but apparently he managed to. And now with his current position, at this stage of pregnancy, it is most unlikely to have him turn head down again as what he's suppose to, and there goes my hope of having normal delivery. Siighh....We'll see how it goes a week from now when I have him scanned. Hopefully he will remarkably turn again in his 38th week, such a thin hope I have at the moment. But hey...who knows what the baby wants... But I do really hope he doesn't decide that it's high time to come out to the world in breech position. Finger crossed...
I was thinking to have a quiet last day of work, which was last Friday, before I start my maternity leave, such a low profile person I am ;), and to say farewell to my colleagues, whoever I met just before I leave the office. I really didn't want to make such a big deal of my having 6 months maternity leave.But my kind manager slash mentor of course wouldn't let me go unnoticed. He surely let me know that he needs to see me before I leave. I thought he still wanted to discuss some work related things. So I kept tidying up and packing some stuff from my office in the late afternoon before I leave, unsuspecting.But when he come around bringing a pack of strawberry cheese cake from Delicious with all my colleagues just outside my work area, I was soo... surprised and touched. I knew what this is all about, immediately. I couldn't help getting red all over my face, which my colleagues of course noticed so easily. With additional embarrassment of having red face in front of everyone, my last minutes in the office surely had given me a memory to cherish. Their concern and support for my upcoming labour is really touching.Thank you my dear friends...
It was the first time I saw such a scenery of KL skyline. On my way back from the Curve, in a sunny road, we could see KL center skyline very clearly with its KL tower and twin tower KLCC. But despite the fact that it was sunny in our side, the opposite side was rather cloudy.
As a result, a 2D effect on the skyline. Having sunlight from my side of town and dark gray cloudy backdrop behind the towers, the scenery was like a 2D picture, as no texture could be seen clearly in such lighting arrangement.
Amazing...
To be honest....I couldn't wait to start my maternity leave :( I still have to endure a little bit over a week before I could finally stay at home, relax, and prepare myself for the labour. Even though...I have planned to start my leave at 37th weeks..which still gives me some time before the due date, but still....I couldn't wait any longer.The hard part is to wake up in the morning and walk all the way to the LRT station (which is actually only 10 mins away), then from the station to my office approximately 15 mins away (I guess with my state of condition at the moment, it actually takes longer than that), and knowing in my mind that I would need to do that again on my way back home.These past few days, I'm so exhausted once I have arrived at home after the journey. Not that I do not need the exercise. I do need it of course. But doing it on the way to work and back is not really my idea of having an exercise.Anyway...counting days now...couldn't focus any longer on my job since I know it will only take me another week before I start my 6 months leave (at least!!!). I just hope I do not need to visit client's office during my last week. FIngers crossed...
What a good boy you are my dear. After several antenatal checks that showed your transversal position, you finally turned head down. It saves mommy from having to undergo a c-section, as long as you stay that way until your due date. I have started to worry when you haven`t turned yet.
Anyway, you have also grown just a little bit over the average, not too big for normal labour. I guess you actually want to come out normally, don`t you ? Which is good for me, as I don`t have to endure the post surgery pain.
It is now 6 more weeks before your due. Would you come earlier or right on time my dear ? Do you know that your daddy has started to get anxious about when you will actually want to come out. "Be patient daddy...let me grow inside mommy until I`m ready to see the outside world."
But I understand, your daddy is just worried if I am alone when the labour starts while he is away in Malacca. But such a good boy you are, I bet you would wait until your daddy has arrived at home to bring us to the hospital in time. It`s only 2 hours drive anyway. Right my dear ??
