Last Week of Work at Week 39

It's my second last day at work before I start my maternity leave. And what a gruelling last week it has been, trying to finish up all the work (I think I can't finish...arrrgh). I even woke up in the middle of the night to pee, and couldn't really go back to sleep thinking about how to write up something at work. Jeez, what happened to insonmia due to the excitement and impending labour. I think I have no time to get excited yet.

I feel like my belly has dropped further even though last week at the ob/gyn visit, the doctor said I haven't. The top of my uterus feels really soft nowadays. I will have to see what she says today for my visit.

On Sunday, we went for our last childbirth prep class - Tools to Active Childbirth, and picked up more tricks to use during contractions. I think I'm still in for the non-epidural. Who knows where they might poke when they are administering the epidural right? I don't really want to take the risk.

The folks are coming in this Saturday, which means more hustle and bustle. I hope I don't get too overdue and waste their time hanging around waiting for me to pop. Jiejie and G have finally decided to come over earlier one week, after Di's advice. Good, G can have lots of fun exploring our backyard and check out our silly turtle Spike, which I can't get rid of.

dd has been pretty busy preparing for his big day as daddy. He set up the nursery furniture, washed all the baby clothes, checked out deals (his favourite task!) for diapers and breast pump, cooked dinner and washed dishes almost all the time, washed the bedsheets for the folks, brought back the twin mattress for sister, massaged my feet while I read bedtime stories to fifi and many more stuff. Yes I'm appreciative, even though I still like to complain...

Current weight: 134lb
