Full of drama...

Hi darling,

It's 6am. Daddy left for camp 30 mins ago. He supposed to book in last night at 2300 hrs. But he can't make it, that's why he requested to book in the morning. Do you know why? We thought I have to deliver you last night. Wahhh really full of drama. Kecian daddy.

Yesterday, Aunty Nadia slept over, Aunty Raudhah drop by, Uncle Mizi sleep over now and Uncle Nazri also drop by. All worried that I am alone. So during day time Mummy, Uncle Mizi and Aunty Nadia went to Bukit Panjang Plaza to buy 2 plastic drawers to keep your things. The colours are very sweet. I love it. But the price ok ah.. 2 four tier drawers for $100. I still think Ikea blue wardrobe for kids cost $200 at the reject corner still worth it. But never mind la.. maybe not meant to be for you.

Later I taught Aunty Nadia and Aunty Raudhah how to cook spaghetti. All 5 of us have dinner. While eating daddy sms me saying "(ur name).. Daddy in the cab. On the way back." I was happy. Finally daddy reached home. Daddy had a drink and quickly take a bath so that he can talk to you. He talk to you and you only touch him gently. When daddy said "Tonight daddy still need to go reservist." Immediately you kicked him hard. Kecian pipi daddy heheheh tapi padan muka gak ah. And daddy explained to you why he needs to go for reservist.

At about 10pm daddy get ready to go back to camp and he also wants to eat some spaghetti. I did a quick test on albumin (protein). I had a shocked. It was +++ 3 plus! I called daddy to come to the toilet. Showed him the test strip. He also said it looks +++. I took out my blood pressure meter and check my blood pressure. It was very high. I called the doctor and the doctor asked me to go to Mt Alvernia immediately. He told me not to eat anything in case I have to be operated immediately. I did the albumin test again at home. It still shows +++. So no choice I had a quick bath, get ready and do Isya' and sunat prayers. Daddy did his prayers too. I prayed that you will be safe. Uncle Mizi and Aunty Nadia insist on following. When we about to go to hospital, I salam and kiss daddy. Asked for forgiveness and told him to really take care of you if anything happens. He also asked for forgiveness and told me everything will be fine. He told me not to worry. I cried a bit hehehehe cenggeng gak aku. After that I kissed Aunty Nadia and Uncle Mizi. I love them both.

When we arrived at the hospital, I was told to go to labour ward immediately. The nurses did a CTG, check my urine and blood pressure. I was observed for one hour. I hate to lie on the bed for one hour or so. It gives me a back ache. If I lie down side ways they won't be able to hear your heart beat. So no choice but to endure. You kept on kicking the doppler. I know you don't like it but no choice. Doctor need to check your heart beat. The nurses said your heart beat is fine. My glucose was very high because I just drank H20 downstairs. I want to buy mineral water but no stock! ish! So no choice I really need a sip to clear my throat. The albumin (protein) is + only which is 1+ wahhhh why like that?! They did the second test. It is still 1+. Okay la good news I don't have to c-sect immediately. phewwww... But I still wonder, why at home +++ but at hospital +. You don't want daddy go back to camp is it?

Anyway it's okay. Daddy said you gave us a drill. To practise being kanchiong hehehehe Am glad you are okay. Seems like today I have to drink more water no sweet stuff uhuk uhuk uhuk.. for your sake I sacrifice. I hope I will remember I am suppose to drink water only heheheheh

It's 6.30am. I want to go back to sleep.

Love you
Mummy

hmmm so soon...

Dear Sweetie Pie,

Today Mummy went for check up again. Alhamdulillah so far so good. Doctor believe that the blood pressure is just a false alarm but to play safe he still prefer to do c-sect and want me to try blood pressure medication for 5 days. We'll see how it goes from there. So far there is negative and only traces of protein in my urine.

You are healthy. You heartbeat is pumping well. Everything is fine. And guess what? You are about 2.8kg! Yeayyyy you are bulat! hahahaha Maybe ... hopefully. I love chubby babies. I know overweight baby is not healthy. But at least you remain chubby for a few months after that you lose some weight because you are active.... well hopefully.. we'll see...While the doctor did the CTG to check your heartbeat, I can hear your hiccups. One of the nurse told me that is the sound of your hiccups. When the nurse was about to remove the CTG from me, I can hear a gush of water. After that the nurse asked me if I need to go to pee. I paused and think for awhile. So I just said and yes and tried to pee. I did pee! I guess the sound of gush of water means I want to pee.. interesting huh?

Later we did the scan. The doctor scanned your head. After that he scanned your body. At first you were moving and when the doctor stop to look at your body, you stop moving and stayed still. You didn't even budge. You are so cute! Then the doctor scan your lower part of your body. You open your legs wide and we can see your birdie so clearly. For sure you are a boy! yeayyy...

Hmmmm but we still not sure mummy is how many months pregnant. Mummy found out mummy was pregnant on 14 January 2006. Before that I missed my period for 3 mths. My last period was in October 2005. I don't have a regular cycle. When Mummy and Daddy went to the gyne on 17 January 2006, the doctor predicted I am 7 weeks pregnant. The predicted due date was 6 Sept 2006. Last week, I went for check up the predicted due date was 2 Sept 2006. By right this week is my 35th week. The doctor check your weight, size, water bag and your position, he said it is possible that I am more than 35 weeks pregnant. I may give birth very soon because you are already engaged. As time goes by the predicted date is getting nearer. Oh my dear baby.. mummy is how many months pregnant? When the doctor saw that you are already engage and you are at a very low position, he said "You see, God knows best what is good for the baby and you." He smiled. He's happy that the baby is engaged and almost ready to be delivered because I am facing so much complications. The doctor was really relieved. I can see that the doctor have so much faith in God. I never seen a doctor like him.

He knows I am worried for your safety if I deliver early. He even arranged for the pediatrician to call me tomorrow to explain that there is nothing for me to worry about. He also worried about the cost incurred. He always give me special price for our check ups, CTG, scans, medication etc. I am really thankful to have him as my doctor. I believe he will retire soon. He is pretty old actually. Alhamdulillah... everything seems fine. But I still feel tired easily. I stayed at home most of the time and I still need to monitor the protein level regularly. We'll see how it goes from here.

Daddy has started his reservist. Mummy have to do things by myself. In the evening Uncle Mizi and Aunty Nadia drop by. Aunty Nadia sleep over to keep me company. She also help with a little bit of housework. I am really grateful for their help.

I think you miss daddy. I have the urge to drink eat and drink whatever daddy like. I even cried when daddy called me just now. I just feel I miss him so much. Hey.. normally I don't behave like this.. it must be my darling baby who miss his daddy which affects me.

Just now your cousin Hannah called up to coax me to sleep over at Bedok. I told her no because I don't want her to get distracted. She will be taking her PSLE very soon. I told her see how it goes. I really want her to concentrate on her exams. Aunty Hawa predicted that I will give birth on 3rd of August. But if possible I don't want it to be on that date because Daddy will not be able to leave the camp because he got live firing training. He have to finish it in order to leave early. I really want daddy to be there when I give birth to you. It will be so sad if daddy is not there. But all these is in Almighty Allah's hands. It is his decision. It is all up to him. But I am already feel sad if daddy won't be with us when you are born in this world. :(

It's late. Time to sleep my darling baby.

Love & lots of kisses
Mummy
