the check up yesterday revealed that the baby’s head HAS gone southwards, PHEW. so, position’s ready, she’d better not pandai-pandai turn around anymore. gegerl, you hear me in there?? you’ll get it from me if you try anything funny, ah! (yes, mummy has been somewhat garang this pregnancy, something even oma has noticed. damn hormones.)

ok, what else… oh, the baby’s weight is now 2.8kg, and with less than 3 weeks to go, looks like she’s got a good chance of being another 3+kg baby.

less than 3 weeks seems surreal – i’m still in denial, actually. because… there are just TOO many things to do still!

the first time we came in, the doc estimated the baby to come out in May. then subsequently, the date turned to 17 apr. then last two weeks it got pushed up to 11 apr. and NOW… it’s 1 apr. and what a date! gah!

so if any of you guys receive an sms from me on 1 apr, don’t think it’s an april fool’s joke ok.

i think it’s coz the baby’s growing bigger than expected. but i’m really really hoping it’ll be a bit later, so maybe i should talk her into it, the way i talked her into heading southwards.

yes, it’s STILL a ‘her’. i made the doc check AGAIN to make doubly triply sure, coz certain parties have bought actual girly dresses for the baby, and well, they might not look so good on a boy. oh, and phoeey to you strange aunties who insist my tummy looks like a boy’s tummy. grrr.

speaking of tummies, i got yet another ‘lecture’ about working out after giving birth coz of my wobbly womb. so my codename now, when the time comes and i have to call up the doc, is “flabby tummy hana”.

eg. “hello dr? hana with the flabby tummy here. i’m having contractions, going to the hospital now. i’ll see you later? don’t be late like last time, ok. i know you said you’ll take the MRT there, just make sure your ezylink card is topped up. ok bye.”

on another note, i made yet another creepy discovery about my body.

see, this is my (slightly water-retentive) hand, pointing upwards.

and this is that very same hand, pointing downwards.

ok, i have no idea if that’s normal, but it’s the first time i noticed all those yukky veins popping out of my hands. and i can practically FEEL all the blood rushing up and down when i do this “hands up-hands down” trick (i showed it to a not-so-amused husband). i’m usually quite, err, vein-less (thanks to years of evading housework), so i was a bit freaked out. like finding out i’m some kind of x-men mutant or something.

and speaking of blood, my blood pressure’s also a bit on the low side. thus my extra MC today, hehe.

which works out perfectly because… TOMORROW PUBLIC HOLIDAY YOU KNOW!

y’all have a good one now… i have a feeling i might.

ps: forget ultrasound scans. here’s aniq insisting he’s drawing the baby. yes, he specifically said it’s the “baby”, even pointing to my (flabby) tummy to emphasise it. i do apologise on his behalf for the impressionistic nature of this ultrasound picture, though.
