Phew, it has been a terrible one week. I was down with diarhoea last wednesday and was in bed for 2 days. Moved back to my parents' on Thursday and then got stung by a hornet on Sunday. Can you believe how unlucky I am?
I am now in my 33rd week. Went to the gynae yesterday and baby was 1.99 kg. If he continues to gain 700g per month, he would be about 2.7-3.0kg during birth. However, this is just an estimate, he might be heavier or lighter. Baby is growing well, gynae says. I had to move forward my gynae visit to Monday instead of Thursday because of a rash on my tummy, thighs and arms. I was worried that it might have been caused by the stupid hornet sting and that it would affect baby but alas, Dr. Tan says that hornet/bee sting is quite localized. They do not spread. Thank God. The rashes on my tummy are just regular prenancy related rash. Because it was a last minute visit to the gynae, I had to wait for 3 hours just to see her and I did not even bring my birth plan.
How did I get a hornet sting, you might ask! Seriously, it is kinda stupid. I was just pottering around in mom's room when I stepped on it. YES!, I told you it was kinda stupid but my mom's bedroom floor is kinda a dark colored granite so it was hard to see a black hornet on it. Apparantly, my house was infested with dead hornets lying on the floor that day because of a guava tree right outside my home. So, I was just really unlucky. It really hurt when I first stepped on it and SY had to take out the sting using a tweezer. Now, it is just swollen and REALLY REALLY itchy. Unluckily for me, I was stung at the sole of my foot. Have you ever been bitten by a mosquito on the sole of your feet? Now, just imagine the itch to be 10 times worse. Yes, it really is and whereas mosquito bites last for a day or two at most, the stupid sting is still itching now. I need to go and buy Calamine Lotion ASAP. Apparently, the usual ointment does not work.
Dr. Tan also gave me a letter to keep with me at all times and to bring to the hospital when I am in labor. Yes, the baby is really coming. Now that I am in my 33rd week, it has just become REAL. I mean, I am gonna be a mom........YIKES! I can't even take care and entertain my nephew for more than 2 hours......what am I gonna do? Also, what if I have no time for myself or to do my hobbies? I know that sounds absolutely selfish but seriously, I need some alone time too. What if I become a bad parent?
Plus, I have not even completed my baby things, I am still short of:
1. Baby Wipes
2. Cotton Wool
3. Nappy Liners
4. Baby Body Wash
5. Cotton Buds
6. Disposable Diapers
7. Barrier Cream
and such......
Actually, I dunno wat else to get. Care to remind me what I have left out?
