小臭 is coming into the world tmr morning at 9am +. I'm packed my hospital bag and here's what I'm bringing.
1) Marriage cert - to register BC
2) disposable undies
3) sanitary pads - normal kind.. will try breastfeeding so I doubt my menses will be strong
4) letters - blood tests and doctor's instructions + letter from my confinement food caterer so I can activate them
5) Baby accessories : bootiesX2sets, mittensX2sets and hat
6) Swaddle blanket
7) 1 set of clothes to bring baby back .. this set is sponsored by MG .. she bought from mothercare and its very comfy; Going to take care of it in case she decides to have another baby stone.
8) Postnatal binder - on promo in Guardian .. cheap! less than $30; I tink my previous one costed over $60 from the hospital
9) my own shawl to keep warm
10) DS Lite in case I'm really bored!
11) camera
12) wallet + NRIC
13) Gifts for MLS
14) A heavy heart .. I'm quite scared to be cut open and then there's the defenceless baby to nurture and MLS's reaction. She's been prep to be a sister but still the real thing is hard to
predict.
Its been quite a tough 38 weeks. The first week I know, the gynea was saying there's a 50% MC chance and I had a strong flu for 3 weeks, coupled with the 4 mths of vomitting. Life sucks as the vomitting came 6x a day, on my trips to and fro office and after every meal or snacks.
Then there was the giddiness everyday. When Ahda doesnt work, I'll drive slowly to work. Albeit the slowness, my car was knocked 2 times. Once, from the back by a bike and I was stationary waiting for the traffic light. The 2nd time on the driver door .. that once was milder and only the mirror was hurt.
There's also the on-going house renov. To save ard $6K, we are getting another contractor instead of the one Laksa recommended. He's ok but very very blur; and forget quite a number of things, so we cant move in time for the new baby.
And my maid had to go back Indonesia 2 times; effectively drying up all my official leaves. Each time she goes back, she doesnt come back home straight when the plane touch down. The 1st time she came back at 1pm and went out with her friends till 4pm the next day. The 2nd time she came back at 1am and slept in the airport before coming back at 8am the next day. Having a maid is troublesome; if not for the lazy men in the house who cant do their share of housework, I would love to go maid-free! Then the kids will go to childcare.
Finally, Ahda hates the gynea I went to at Mt A. I hate him too.. so mercenary. He knew from the start that I was hoping for a no pain op and my old scar is on the pelvic bone which makes it impossible to be no-pain but he waited till I pay up everything before he told me! The nurses at his clinic are gossipy and rude too. Plus if we want to choose a date for the op, its an extra 2K on top of the 3K for his choice of date! The final straw was that he arranged to go holiday on my baby's 38wk and wanted to do the op on the 37 weeks. So I sacked him; took back my deposit and went to another gynea.
I hope things will go slowly back to equilibrium after tmr. One thing good is that Ahda is more "man" during this period. Before that, I was quite pissed off with his bo-chapness abt MLS stuffs and always playing pc games. Now he will take initiative to do more things for the kids; e.g. he changed the switches and gangs for the new place; even though it was quite a scare initially. He blowed up a socket and short-circuited the neighbour's house! At the end, he got a few cuts but more man lar!
