Still Here.....

And I think that baby is engaged cos I do feel more pronouced discomfort in my pelvic area now especially when I am walking. Need to continue to walk daily to induce baby. Hahaha. Any other suggestions on how to induce baby? A friend of mine suggested foot reflexology but I dunno any good shi fu and definitely do not want to risk baby's health with a no good shi fu.

Anyways, Dr. Tan has taught me to massage my breast. "To prepare for milk coming in", she says and I read somewhere that it helps to induce baby to come out. She told me if there is milk coming out, to just wipe it away. I think she thinks too highly of me. I have not seen even a single drop of milk. Urh, this probably also means that I would have to make extra effort to produce milk for the baby. I am so determined to breastfeed that I did not even buy any formula milk but have lots of milk bottles....hahaha, contradicting my determination. Oh well, we will see how it goes, I dun think I can bear to see baby crying for milk and non coming out of my breast.

Seeing that yesterday was a public holiday, I seek that very opportunity to tidy up Bakong's room. I vacuumed, wiped, mopped and sorted out all Bakong's things. Why does someone so little need so many things? It really baffles me!!!! I need to take pictures to show you.

Now, all RH and me and the rest of the world needs to do is just wait.....wait....and wait. Ok, Bakong, when are you coming out to face the world?

There is a new BORDERS at Parkway Parade.....hurray hurray. Love Borders for their large selection of books. In fact, I just bought a baby book. "What to expect, the first year!"

It is really quite an interesting read. The author thinks that babies should come with instruction manuals like most everything because then new parents will not have to buy any parenting books but they do not and instead of pulling out our hairs in frustration trying to decipher baby's cries, the author came up with a rather comprehensive book on baby's first year. Probably more useful for first time parents. So, if you are execting your first baby, consider buying the book for those "just in case" moments.

And another thing I found useful is of course to attend an antaenatal class. Don't sign up for one too early cos you will indefinitely forget most of the topics that were touched on.

Dad's birthday was on the 19th Dec.....we had Korean BBQ dinner at home last night to celebrate his birthday. Of course, SY, our in house baker came up with a triple mousse cake for Dad. Deeeelllliiiiccciouuusss.......*smacking my lips"

My sisters are also back from USA for the holidays. Thanks DC, for the SOMO Scrapbook Kits....can't wait to scrap again but I guess I really gotta wait till I move to Starville this weekend. Luckily, FS is on holiday and she is loaning her maid to me. My own maid is gonna be late. The agent informed me that she will only arrive 7th Jan even though I requested for her to come in mid-dec and I purposely booked her in Nov so that the agent has plenty of time to process the whole thing.

Anyways, trying not to be upset and trying not to think how tired I will be without anyone helping me when baby is out. As usual, RH is in lala land and he does not realize how hard it will be for the two of us to cope on our own and how much tougher it will be when his parents are here.

Oh yeah, back to my sisters. Really glad that they are back for the festive season. It really feels so good to catch up with my siblings. Even though we are never all at the same place at the same time, I think we really do cherish the moments when we are together.
