Counting down... 13 days more

Went for checkup tdy. BB Javier weighs 2.9kg at week 36. 100g short of my expectation. Wanted him to be at least 3kg... Haha... Anyway, Gynae estimated that he should be ard 3.3kg when he's born in 2 wks time. Oh yah... the ultrasound also showed that Javier has also engaged which means his head is now down at the birth canal. No wonder I kept feeling his kicks at my upper abdomen nowadays...

Went thru the fetal heartbeart & movement test too! Javier is kinda notti tdy. Irritated that Mummy is strapped on to the machine, he tried so hard to push and wriggle so that the heartbeat attachment on my tummy will fall lose. Ended up Dearie and me have to hold on to the attachment for like 20mins so that the machine can record his heartbeat properly. Dearie even complained that his hand was tired after some time...

Hmm... Guess tdy's checkup left me with a heavy heart... BP still not ideal so I am placed on anti-hypertensive medication to control my bp for the 2 wks. Gynae intially comtemplating to bring forward the C-sect date but we came to a conclusion that it will nt be too good for Javier to come out before Wk37 as such we will still stick to 29th July.

On top of that, thou my previous blood tests results shows that I do not have gestational diabetes, there is some indication of slight glucose tolerance impairment so she wants me to monitor my blood sugar level next wk since I am entering the crucial period. This monitoring involved the finger-prick test to be taken 7X a day! Dearie was kinda shock to hear it when the nurse was teaching me how to use the glucose test machine and he even tried correcting her by saying it should be 7X a wk bah and not a day! haha... The nurse then told us it is indeed 7X a day and Dearie responded by saying to me: "NI SHI GE WEI DA DE MA MA!" (translated: " You are a noble mummy") & I went like #&%#$%! As the nurse realised I was looking kinda sad today, she kept comforting me and told me not to think too much. She then jokingly told me if the prick tests hurt alot since I need to prick 7 of my fingers within a day, I can prick Dearie's fingers instead.

Despite all these, I did not cry today le thou my eyes were teary for a moment when Nurse Alice asked me why I looked so down today... I have to go through the next 13 days and I am determined that Javier will be born no earlier than 29th July. I know what I have to note in the next 2 wks and will hang on no matter what. I will stay positive so that Javier will be happy inside me too and not feel sad along with me!

BABY JAVIER, YOU MUST JIA YOU TOO AND WE WILL MAKE IT TO YOUR BIRTHDAY ON THE 29TH JULY!!! :)))) Daddy & Mummy LOVES YOU ALOTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!
