After eating lots of durians (don’t worry, I’ve been taking precautions to ensure that I don’t get over-heated by drinking lots of barley, eating mangosteens and drinking lots of water) AND drinking my nightly liquor; it SEEMS……..that the baby has taken a turn for the better!

What can I say?

I’m turning into an alcoholic.

I even googled to find out what the exact measurement of a shot was because I was so dissatisfied with the miserable amount that the Hubs would pour for me every night.

I am LOVING my Kahlua…….This baby knows how to enjoy life!

The Doctor was astounded at our last visit this week because the placenta had hardly deteriorated when she had forecasted a quicker death. See? All baby wanted was some durians and some Kahlua.

I’m still on bed rest but at least we know baby is growing well and the Doctor is now banking on a 28 July prediction. I am half-hearted because some days are SO BAD that I just want to use every muscle in my body to push the baby right out! 28 July happens to be my brother’s birthday. Tee’s assesment exam is next Saturday 1st August. Whilst I really don’t want to wait that long for baby to come out, it would be ideal if I could follow her for her exam and then get baby out. *sigh* I really don’t think I can wait that long though……it is agony.

I’m always having that horrible dull period crampy feeling these last 2 weeks but just yesterday, I experienced my first real contraction. Wow! If THAT is going to get stronger by a thousand times during real labour, then I’d be the first to confess that I would not be able to go through full labour. I would ask for an epidural with extra dosage till I passed out. It was like nothing like I’ve ever felt before. OK, you can laugh all you want…….

On to better news, my good friend from London is arriving in 10 days to greet the newborn and is currently busy shopping for us! Tee has asked for more difficult jigsaw puzzles (they are so limited in KL, we probably have everything! and everything we brought back from New York, she has now outgrown). We have asked for a dozen puzzles that are 150-300 pieces and instant oatmeal sachets that have flavouring (also not available in KL) and Bramley apple pies for Nana from Marks & Spencer (also not available in KL) and perhaps some chocolate for the new Mama.

And THEN, our cousins from Perth just arrived this evening and although we have not seen them yet, Nana says they have already delivered a big Dora electronic doll with an interactive backpack for Tee and lots of other goodies. I’ll probably have to sneak out tomorrow night to have dinner with them.

And THEN, Nana’s best friend from Melbourne is also coming down soon. It seems like everyone’s coming to greet this new baby!!! What great timing!!!
