Owkay, little kiddo is not yet out of the sack. But there is great improvements! As of yesterday, kiddo’s already engaged and is much lower down in the pelvic area, meaning, it’s really any day now! Vaginal check by the doc showed that cervix already thinned (or effaced they call it right) from 2.5cm to about 1.5cm and the dilation is at 1.5cm. Let’s hope she’s ready to be out soon. Doc also said that my cervix is quite soft and so I should make my way to the hospital should I experience labor even at 20 minutes gap contractions! Ok all this vaginal-cervix-opening talk is quite disgusting now ain’t it. She also predicts that the latest the baby will be out by early next week and hence wanna see me again first thing Monday morning. Riiiggghhhtttt. Part of me actually wants kiddo to be out somewhere during this week really miahaha. Well, the ball is in her court.

Everyone’s really really excited about kiddo’s upcoming. Grandma from S’pore is already here as of last night, grandma here already put me on 24-hour watch and wouldn’t let me go out much; everyone’s asking about kiddo already. Oh btw, Emma bought kiddo 2 pretty new gowns from Mothercare!! Hail grandparents!! Hahahaha.

Though I did experience lots more false alarms as of late, I am trying reallllyyy hard to try to distinguish the real thing from the false ones. Not very easy really, when u feel pain at the midnight hour and it made u not being able to sleep. Hmmph. And they say u WILL know. I seriously do hope so hahaha for kiddo’s sake.

Well, we shall see when I can update this next. Not much to report now, except the pressure on the pelvis can be felt even stronger and I can even feel her move oh-so-very-low below . I waddle like nobody’s business and frankly, I stopped caring hahaha. She is HUGE from what I feel and still VERY much active so there, nothing else new.

Kiddo, it’s all now up to u. I did all I can, walked and exercised soooo much I worry everyone hahahaha all in hopes of helping kiddo get a better and easier passage out when the time comes. Perhaps, till Monday peeps? Toodles!
