Visiting the Gynae @ 38weeks 3days

On Saturday, we visited Dr Suvit again for routine check up. He measured the Fundal height, also Bao Bao's heartbeat and position then here's our conversation.

Dr Suvit: I think the baby is Big... What makes you think that your baby will be small?
Me: I don't know... I thought my tummy is small?
Dr Suvit shakes head
Me: You think now how big?
Dr Suvit: At least 3kg now...
My tiny eyes widen!

Our Statistics:

• Heartbeat: 160 bpm (asked how come so high... he said it's normal for foetal heart rate to be irregular... on the other hand, it is unusual if the foetal heart rate is regular... A minute ago it was 140bpm.)
• Bao Bao's Postion is Vertex
• Fundal Height: About 40cm
• My Blood Pressure: 136/81
• My Heartbeat: 117bpm (Higher than my usual, because I just walked back from the loo.)
• My Weight: 78.1kg

Anyway, he says if by next Saturday, if I still don't go into natural labour, we will have to consider induction.  I suppose his concern is the baby will become too big and over here they usually don't practice letting the baby go over 40weeks. He doesn't want to say it bluntly but he referred foetus to fruits and should not go over due date... Induction has a higher chance of getting C-section (although I'm not all anti c-sec, just prefer natural), so I'm praying now for natural labour to come!

等吃...等睡...等生...幸褔!!!

I've been sticking my ass on the couch staring at my Macbook or watching documentaries with my Parents in the day... Other than that I'll be reading in my bed or snoozing... Once a day, we'll still head out for lunch or groceries shopping. Mummy will be in charge of preparing dinner with some help from Papa while I take my daily nap... I will be woken up to the house smelling wonderful scents!

If this is not Bliss, I don't know what else is... =) I suppose when we're young we take these things for granted... But after living independently for such a long time, I guess I'm able to appreciate these gestures of LOVE...

Friday night, we had dinner with Roy... His main purpose to Bangkok is to visit 白籠王, a famous divine being who advised many Hong Kong Celebrities  inclung Tony Leung and Edison Chan. Anyway, Roy brought 12 bottles of Bird's Nest with American Ginseng for me which was highly recommended by one of our friends. Surprisingly, it isn't as expensive as the Eu Yan Seng one I've been having and it taste so much better!! Happy! He also brought along 2 bottles of Pandan kaya for us! =)

Tiki and Me had dinner with Roy again along with Kelly and Roland on Saturday night. This time without my parents. Went to Somboon Seafood... I was so tempted by the Fried Oyster (Hoy Thoot) that I had one piece with the fried flour/egg! Luckily, nothing bad happened!!
I'm so glutton and Tiki always don't stop me!!! I'm just so spoilt~

Bao Bao at 38 weeks!

2 more weeks to go~

And we're just waiting for D-day to arrive. Right now, it's just a matter of a waiting game.
My friends seems more paranoid than me about me delivery... hehe~ Don't worry! I will update you~ hehehe!

I can feel Bao Bao slowly making his way down or perhaps changing his position bit by bit because I feel movements in places I've never felt before... I go to the loo almost every hour during sleep hours... Experiencing slight soreness in the back some nights which is also a symptom of labour... That made me anticipate that labour will come anytime due to that. Then I'll simply sit up and freeze for a moment... I guess due to our size, back soreness is sure to arise... Just have to take note of my posture.

Then again, I have a feeling that he is still not ready yet... I'm not sure why I have this feeling. Probably because I think he's really comfy inside my uterus! haha...

Right now, I don't feel too uncomfortable or irritated by most of my pregnancy ailments. I guess, I'm getting used to carrying Bao Bao, so right now I'm truly enjoying myself! =) I'm not sure why I'm different from other mothers, but I'm loving this stage of my pregnancy... Somehow I want to keep him inside... then again, I cannot wait to meet him!! I think I'm gonna miss him inside of me when he's out...

10 Days of Warmth!

It's been 10 days since my parents arrived in Bangkok!! They've been great help around the house. Since our part-time maid had to take time off to care for her sick father. I love love love everything about having my parents around, especially Yummy homecooked food!! hehehe... So far, I think they're not too bored yet! hehe... Eating and chilling... So they said they're going to grow fat because of the cuisines here!! 

Some of the cuisines my Parents Made! 

Simply SHIOK!

Feels Like Home Again

Since years ago, I haven't been spending alot of time with my parents. What I mean is staying with them... After such a long time, I'm experiencing my "Childhood" all over again! =)

We used to do KTV sessions and sing-a-long to songs to Oldies and Hokkien songs at home... So we've been doing it during their stay here by looking for these Nostalgic songs from YouTube. Brought back so much memories... 

I'm enjoying Delicious and Healthier home cooked food all the time. Needless to say, I've "retired" from any chores... Mummy is doing all the cooking!! YEAH~!

Things parents do for their children... It's just unbelievable... And I'm totally relishing everything! =) I got me wondering if I'll be doing the same in future...

I'm still going out shopping for groceries with them so that they'll get used to the different supermarkets! Probably next week onwards, I will stay home to rest.

During our Skype session with my brother and XingNing,  I could tell that she really misses her Grandma and she kept saying, "我要去姑姑家！" She's so cute!! Well, I suppose they'll come visit me next year! =)

Tiki got really sick from the yearly Off-site Dinner with his colleagues on Saturday night. Every single person was toasting/congratulating him for expecting a son and he could not reject. He had about 10 glasses of whisky on the rocks... He was still sober when he got home at about 10pm... But then he started throwing up around midnight...  ALL NIGHT!! Poor thing... We tried different remedies... Well, I did all I could to make him comfortable... It really worries me to see him like this. Mummy made some porridge for him before we head out for groceries shopping... Thank god, he became well in the afternoon after all the TLC~ =)

My Mummy was able to clean my Chao Tar Pot!!! It looks brand New! She's really that capable at washing stuffs!! I'm serious! Nothing can 難倒 her~
(if i've known, this can be done, i wouldn't have to buy a new one...)

Chao Tar Vs After Wash

Mummy made dinner for us... Some kind of Hokkien Porridge she learnt from her Grandmother... we call it Kiam Ber~ I used to have it all the time when I was young. Ingredients include deep fried hard tofu, mince meat balls, rice in ikan bilis/soy bean broth.

So far, I've brought them for walk walk around our area to familiarize again... They tried a couple of the street food, like Pad Thai, Deep Fried Banana, Deep Fried Pork Belly... They keep saying they're going to put on weight for sure! Papa is enjoying Animal Planet, Discovery Channel and all the documentaries everyday... They're relaxing and chilling everyday... =)

Bao Bao at 37 weeks!

3 more weeks to go~

I'm feeling pretty good! Nothing much changing in terms of my feelings... Same joy and pains... =) Still gaining weight at about 1kg every 1 or 2 weeks. Swelling of my feet didn't get any better. Dr Suvit says this is ok and looks normal at this stage because my blood pressure is normal and I don't have any trace of protein in my pee~

Trotters

After so long, we got to see Bao Bao on ultrasound scan today!! But we're not able to make out much because he's getting big... I caught a glimpse of his face, mouth, little hand and little fingers during the process! SO Adorable!! I think he's going to have TK's mouth... hehe~ We'll find out soon enough!!

According to Dr Suvit, measurements looks normal... PHEW~ Yes, I'm always worrying this and that and I served many questions to him as well as keep checking on the internet, checking my books and checking with my friends... 

Our Statistics:

• Heartbeat: 130 bpm
• Weight: 2702 gm
• Abdominal Circumference: 30.94cm
• Head Circumference: 32.77 cm
• Placenta Position looks normal, on my left side
• Amniotic Fluid amount looks normal.
• Bao Bao's Postion is Vertex
• My Blood Pressure: 130/76
• My Heartbeat: 87bpm
• My Weight: 76.7kg

Dr Suvit says right now Bao Bao is a good size at this point... But he is warning me that the growth of foetus is most rapid in the last 2 weeks... So he's predicting a big baby... We shall see about that! =)
