@ week 38

My updates:

My weight: 75.5kg (-1kg from last week)
Baby's weight: 3.1kg (-kg from last week) - rough estimation I guess. Hehe. Her head has finally ENGAGED! Good girl!! Doc said should be any time.

What does "engaged" means? Check out the pics below. It means the baby's head has to be fall lower into the mum's pelvis (for this case, it should reach till "0"). If it isn't engaged, the doc will say it's still "high". Which means, if I go into active labour when the babe's head is still high, I will have a longer labour period. The more engaged the head is, the faster the labour it is (as it is near the cervical opening :))

So what have I done in the past one week back home in Malacca?

Lunch with Liza @ Durian Tunggal - Yummy superbly spicy cili padi bee hoon goreng!

Just needed this one just in case I go in labour today....Coconut shake @ Klebang!

My brother got the Bentong ginger for me... 6kgs @ Rm13/kg!!! It's supposed to be the best for confinement.. anyway, me not a real ginger fan, I hope this will convert me. :P (not to mention the 15 bottles of rice wine that grandma has ordered and the 5 bottles from Jason's grandma). :P

Have been sorting and washing the lil Princess' clothes, hand-me-downs from Jason's uncle who has 3 angels of his own. This is the 2nd load, I have one more load to go. I do hope she's big/small enough to fit in all these lil cutsies! The weather is soooo hot that they get dried fully after 1 hr in the sun. :P

Tadaaaa! I finally finished ONE SIDE of the shoe. Hehehe.

Thanks to Aunt Cat Teh (Liz's mum-in-law) for this lovely suit. It's SOOOOO cute.. but in the weather like this, I wonder when she will have a chance to wear this.. Hehehe. :)

Next up, we were supposed to fix the car seat belt for the old Honda Accord to fix the child car seat, but had no time. Besides, we need to send the cushion for washing first...

Hubby and I were praying that baby comes out this weekend, but looks like she's still pretty comfy inside. I am having that occasional tummy stretch, which I thought was her stretching inside, but doc said it's not. It's actually a form of contractions. So, when he said that, I started to time them. First, it was every two-hourly. Hoping that it'll get closer, but now.. it sort of disappeared or took longer than 2-hrly. I guess it's probably Braxton-Hicks? Not sure. I don't even know what a contraction feels like as I get different pictures of it from different ppl. I do hope I do know what a real contraction feels like when it REALLY comes. Hahaha. Till then.. still waiting patiently for Princess' arrival. Oohh.. can't wait... :)
