#38weeks2days

#38weeks2days 

today marks my last #dayrepregnancy checkup and baby is weighing at about 3096g. mei mei is slightly heavier than baby LX. My gynae initially wanted me to do pre admission today so as to draw some blood to standby for the ops tomorrow because my iron count is still quite low! But luckily after the prick test it is not as low as what she expected so hence no need to admit. I still need to continue with my iron pills thou.

was told to be on fasting mode from 5am tomorrow onwards and even water is not allow. so i told sbd we shall have mac breakfast with cold milo/milk at 4am. I’m so going to miss all the cold/sweet treats during the one month of confinement. we are told to check in at 8am tomorrow but we requested to do so at 9am instead so that we can drop LX off to school first before delivery. as much as possible, we didn’t want to disrupt our daily routine life.

so after the check up we went to catch a movie - antman. quite liking the show and can’t wait for the next avenger to be out to see what happen to him. And it’s going to be a while before our next movie! We also did some last minute shopping to get some essential like nipple cream, ruyi oil and diaper cream for baby LE. Bought a gift for LX to be given to her at the hospital too. we have finally decided on her mandarin name! So instead of having calling mei mei LX2, her initials will be LE.

satisfied my cravings to have punggol nasi lemak. i love the chili and drumstick and we had starbucks after that because they are having 1 for 1 promo from 3pm -7pm this week! how not to put on weight with all these binge eating! certainly not looking forward to step on the scale after giving birth. gained a total of 12kg for this pregnancy! 😅

this morning situation while sending her to school, decided to let her play with this app and she loves it. but we are a bit hesitant in letting her use, afraid that she will keep asking us for it. it’s very hard to strike a balance especially nowadays she starts to be so vocal and will start telling us her request.

love this watermelon ones! she will ask us to eat it after she finishes her.

some random #taobao loots that colleague bought back for me during their recent trip. mostly are LX stuff and one for baby nursery corner. It’s so hard to find mandarin related storybooks or activities in SG.

she already worn them out last saturday and she loves her pom pom bag where she usually put a packet of her mini Dutch Lady milk.

finally got down to packing my hospital bag for my 4D3N “staycation”. So last minute but here’s my rough packing list:

for 👩🏻: one set of clothing for discharge, disposable panties, bras, make up, some basic toiletries, charger for phone and camera. 

for 👶🏻: 2 sets of clothes with front buttons, 1 set of mitten and sock, hair accessories (very hiao) and 1 swaddle.

for administrative matters: the admission letter, cordblood donation letter, NRIC, marriage certificate for birth cert registration and my DBS altitude CC for hospital bill. 

actually if I recalled correctly most of the stuff will be provided by the hospital.

mei mei home coming clothes. specially bought those with front buttons wearing romper so that it is easier to wear it with the umbilical cord stump still intact. #dayremummies

and I’m bringing along my breast pump which I haven met for a while because the previous round I had to stay for one more night due to high fever cause by engorgement. We had to get the rechargeable battery replaced because we forgotten to take it out since the last used and the battery actually leaked! the battery is not cheap and can only be bought at the service centre. so please rem to take it out and not make the same mistake as us!

another important essential for me is nipple cream, it actually helps to relieve pain when latching the baby for too long.
