Baby will arive within the next 72 hours

Today might be the last trip for us visiting gynae for check up. According to gynae, baby will arrive within the next 72 hours as my cervix is 2-3cm dialated. Gynae again told us that the baby is not going to be small. This was the 3rd time he told us the same thing. I'm kind of worried... and I can't control myself but cried infront of the gynae. I just can't explain why... Was it the pain from the check up? Am I too scared that the baby is too big? Am I too scared of the labour pain that's just 72 hours (or even less) from now? I can't answer...
Now... let's just wait for our precious to arrive anytime soon... Maybe tonight? Tomorrow morning? Maybe... 16th? ;-)
Stay tune for my next update with my baby's photos ;-)

Baby new toys from DKSH Warehouse Sales

We went to DKSH Warehouse Sales today, main purpose is to grab Mattel products (toys) for our baby. Oledi said fullstop on buying toys, but we have no discipline at all to really stop this "activity" :-p So here we got a few more new toys for our little one.
All these only cost us RM102. If not from warehouse sales, I believe these few things would have cost us at least RM300. But I have to sacrifice again.. from a lean feet turned to pork knuckles again after about 1+ hours of shopping! What to do... being a mummy-to-be have to start learning sacrificing for their little one lo...

Baby's position

We went for pre-natal check-up this morning. Gynae told us that baby is very "guai"... baby's head has turned downwards!! Baby has been listening to our "command" to turn his head downwards ;-) Baby's measurement & weight is growing at normal rate. Mummy do not have high blood pressure nor diabetic. Thank God!! But mummy has water retention on the leg. Mummy's leg is like pork knuckle now :-S

Counting down... less than 2 more months to go...

Continuous preparation...

Preparation can never finish... I received a call from a sales girl from a shop in Leisure Mall saying that they have new Mucical Mobile stock. So happened that I'm going for my facial on that day, me and hubby dropped by the shop after my facial. What happened?? SPENDING...

We bought our baby a musical mobile, stroller pad and a foldable mattress. This foldable mattress will be used for baby's play pan.

My baby is kicking and moving more and more prominent these days. I don't feel like waves in my stomach anymore. I really feel that there's something hard inside my tummy, moving and kicking at least continuously for 10 minutes in every 1-2 hours. 31 weeks already... Counting down days...

Toys again

We bought our baby toys again!!! I think we are 1/2 way out of control by now. We purposely drove to Kuchai Lama to go to this showroom after browsing their webpage. Both of us agreed that these will be the last time buying our baby new toys ~ not until we really need some new toys when he grows up.

I don't know if our baby likes these toys. But mummy certainly love the doggie hahaha... Daddy keep saying mummy might fight for this doggie with our baby next time ;-) We shall see...

Warehouse Sales

Today, 2nd August 2008, is a super duper tiring day for both of us.

7:50am: Reached Dr. Bux clinic for medical check-up.
9:00+am: Breakfast at Imbi.
10:00+am: Battle in the Pureen Warehouse Sales.
To our SURPRISE, Pureen Warehouse Sales sells products that are newly manufactured. We grab a lot of stuff!! View it...
Err... A lot here??? NO. See the front view....

We spent about RM700 in total. No doubt it's quite a huge sum of money to be spent in 1 day in 1 warehouse sales, it worth the investment as we need these items sooner or later. So why not buy more and stock up since these items are newly manufactured ;-)

I think we are almost done in stocking up items for our new member in the family. Photo below includes all new clothes bought from various shops.

Baby's 1st toy

Today we've got our little one his 1st toy - a rattle teether. I like this quite much as I'm a little fan of Disney cartoon ;-)

I've told the little one in my stomach that this is his very 1st toy and mummy & daddy likes it as well. We assured him that he'll be protected by us and we're looking forward for his arrival in October!

Baby mattress

We've got our baby a baby mattress today. After much consideration between a latex mattress and a coconut husk mattress, we have decided to go for coconut husk due to a few reasons: -
1) coconut husk can protect baby's back bone.
2) coconut husk mattress can be brought under sun shine if baby pee pee on it.
3) coconut husk mattress is 4Xs cheaper than a latex mattress.

Since this mattress can only be used for a maximum of 1 to 1.5 years, we were thinking not to spend too much on it. Luckily we have got a sales girl who told us the good points of a coconut husk mattress (as listed above). So we have no hesitation to buy our baby a coconut husk mattress.

The mattress at a measurement of 118cm x 60cm cost us RM140 (after 20% discount from a mattress fair at Leisure Mall). We are very satisfied with the quality. It's not the ordinary coconut husk mattress which is extremely hard. It is made of layers of coconut husk and processed rubber. So it's pretty soft and comfortable for our little one.

Our baby will be sleeping comfortably on a coconut husk mattress with a latex pillow soon ;-)

Fetus Education

Michael was introduced to a book by his friend - a fetus education book by "Chet (7) Thin Jen" (a Japanese author). Hence, we bought the book from a bookstore and Michael has to read it to me word by word as it is written in Chinese.

There are quite a few things that a mummy needs to do when the little one is still in my tummy. One of the most important thing is "Communication". We always thought or wonder if the little one in our tummy can actually hear us. The fact (at least from this book) is that he can do more than just hearing, but also can feel what their mummy is feeling and seeing. Thus, the most important thing that I need to train myself is to be POSITIVE and CHEERFUL. With these, my baby will come to this world happily without worries.

Another thing, which I have been practising since the little one was 1 month + in my tummy; I've been telling him the date and time that he should come out naturally (natural birth) to the world. True enough... this is written in the book itself. I truely hope that my baby will fulfill my little wish ;-)

Another amazing findout from the book!! Fetus in the tummy can do self-healing if the mummy request him to do so. Hence, I have just started to request my precious one to be healthy, heal himself from any kind of illness before he comes to this world. I hope my baby will be as healthy as possible and meet his daddy, mummy, relatives and friends on the defined date ;-)
