so i’ll cut the story short.
saturday’s visit to the clinic. it was harder to scan the baby’s head coz it’s already very low – but STILL not engaged yet. which means, yup, it’s not ready to come out, boys and girls.
a quick ‘manual’ check (and LOTS of jelly) confirmed that the head was indeed not engaged and, in the doc’s words, “still floating”. was she enjoying her swim downstream in a leisurely, dreamy state or something? freaky.
a rough estimate of the current weight was given – 3.2kg – but you know how those machines are: like, totally unreliable! coz it also gave us the EDD as 12apr, ie. the day we were at the clinic itself. riiiiight.
doc insisted that he never crossed out the original EDD, and he did say “give and take two weeks”, but i guess the womb (and everything else down there) is holding out better than we thought, nevermind its sorry, flabby state. hah.
so it’s another week of waiting.
in the meantime, ENJOY LAH! jalan-jalan time has been extended, mah!
and this shall be the last chap II entry till, well, you know… the inevitable happens. (well, she HAS to come out eventually.)
coz all this “WHAT?? NOT OUT YET?? WHEN????” is making me pret-ty tetchy. as do all the well-meaning ‘suggestions’ to ‘naturally’ induce labour. coz at this point, where, i might add, am feeling TOTALLY unattractive and mojo is at an all-time low – ok, let’s say zero, – i’d rather let the baby stay inside forever. but really, i do thank you for all your concern, anticipation, etc. much appreciated.
my only consolation is that the husband says his wife doesn’t look pregnant at all, especially from behind, as opposed to his theory and general observation of women who are pregnant with girls. which is always a nice thing to hear from the spouse, however biased he may be. thanks, hor. you better say more nice things ok. (a vasectomy would be nice too ha ha… KIDDING.)
ok, so that’s it… crabby & grouchy cool-one-minute-blowing-her-top-the-next-minute-probably-schizo-and-in-serious-need-of-therapy mommy says “OVER AND OUT!”
