Week 38 ~~~ 2 more weeks to go

You know what?  I am not really sure now what's going to happen.  I was expecting that things to flow as it is supposed to be.  But right now, I am really not sure.

You see, baby still has not engaged yet.  She did try to squirm her way down and I was feeling it last night.  It was a little like a cramp and then she pressed on my bladder and I felt like I need to pee there and then.  It also felt a little uncomfortable.  This happened after I went shopping with my mom and did a whole lot of walking.

But after a good night sleep, she is back up again.  

My colleagues remarked that my womb is still high.  My mom said the same.  The panel doctor that I went to see today also said it's quite small.  But since it's my first born, it's probably like that.  Nurses also gave me a shock look when she asked how far along I was and I said 38 weeks.  Same goes for the pharmacist who gave me the medicine and asked which trimester I was in.  But he probably doesn't know much about pregnancy.

So what's happening?  It's 2 more weeks to go and no sign of baby dropping?  Is she going to be late?  I don't want to be induce as I heard many things against it.  But what's going on?

I am still having lots of phlegm and greenish too (sorry TMI).  It's been a week and today I felt my lymph nodes on my neck are swollen.  What else?  I am still having stuffy nose and breathing through my mouth a lot.  So panel doctor gave me antibiotics, expectorant and gargle.  I am not going to take the antibiotics because my colleague who took it prior to her delivery has resulted in her body low on antibody and she was having all sorts of pain and nobody knows why and finally found that she needed to eat probiotics instead.  I also not sure if I will take the expectorant because that will make me drowsy.  As it is I am having so much lack of sleep and I don't think feeling drowsy at work helps.

OK.  2 more weeks to go and still no sign.  My sister said I might be late.  No, please no c-section.  Try as I might to go natural.  I know my age is not helping me but since the gynae said I can try, I will give my best.

But 2 more weeks and still no sign.  I don't know.  Baby, you know what's best for you right?  You know when's the right time to do what right?  Because mommy really don't know.  And I am highly relying on you now.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. W...

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medi...

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure...
