Anytime Now!!

Baby's engaged, and I've been getting Braxton Hicks contractions. So it shouldn't be long before Baby comes out now! Although, he really seems quite happy in there...doesn't want to face the world yet maybe :) Or he's waiting for us to sort out his room completely and make sure the house is clean and all.

Maybe it's 'nesting instinct', or maybe it's just the usual neat-freak Selena, but I've been pottering around the house neating up shelves, wiping surfaces, cleaning the house in general. I think it's just usual neatness. Cannot tahan when the house is messy/dirty lah! There's still more cleaning that needs to be done, but don't wanna tire myself out either.

Over these past few months we actually did up what used to be the study room into Baby's room. Previously there was nothing built into the room, just movable shelves for our books. We decided to build in a wardrobe for Baby, with shelves on the side. Built-in seems best for our house cos the walls aren't straight, and neither is the floor! When we were using free-standing shelves, we had to wall mount them cos otherwise they'd just topple over cos of the incline. For the shelf that was wide enough to stand stable on it's own, there was a HUGE gap between the back of the shelf and the wall!

So, since we really don't want cupboards falling onto Baby, who will be pulling at stuff, build-in was the way to go!

We also got curtains from IKEA! I love those curtains! Super colourful and cheerful! :) Although cos the IKEA restaurant uses that same cloth as blinds and tablecloths, Baby might be wondering why they stole his curtains :O)

And the cot! Yep, sheets all washed and cot all set up and ready to be used!

So, Baby, what you waiting for?!?














Maybe he's waiting for Mee Siam. Going to my parents place today cos my Mum is cooking her famous, and oh-so-yummy Mee Siam, which Baby hasn't tried yet. Maybe he knows what's coming, so he's waiting for a taste of it. Greedy boy!

But he's been quite naughty :) Giving Jon and I false hopes that he'll be coming out soon! The Braxton Hicks were quite close together a few times already - ard 10 mins apart at some points. But irregular, and painless (if only the real thing was painless too!). So.....BABY!! COME OUT!!

Anyway, looks like the rest has done Baby some good. Doc was worried that Baby was a little small, and gave me MC to rest at home. Baby's weight has since jumped to 3 kilos, and Doc is finally happy with his weight! So since Doc is ok with the weight now, I'm telling Baby to stop growing otherwise he'll have a hard time coming out! Or rather, I will have a hard time getting him out!!













By the next post, Baby might be here! Keep a look out!
