Piglet at 38 weeks!
Piglet is 38 weeks old and ready to face the world anytime now!
Yesterday was my gynae appt, Piglet is in an engaged position. That explains the pms like pain i have in my pelvis area, Dr Chan mentioned that its my body's way of preparation for labour! Piglet weighs 3kg while i din put on much weight, my weight remains constant since my last visit!
Dr Chan even joked that Piglet might be a Hari Raya baby and be called Mohammad! I was like, no Hari Raya baby! I kept on telling Piglet to be born on 26 Oct 07! That is the day Sis will be back in Singapore from San Francisco and also Piglet will be sharing the same birth date as Pirate King and me coz both of us are born on the 26 but in different months!
Also, one good news.... The breast pump has been finally shipped and now keeping my fingers crossed that it will reach my Sis!

Moods
Ever since the start of this week, I have been feeling moody and tired. Piglet is like getting heavier and heavier, my backaches get worse and I feel pain in my pelvis area. That kind of pain is difficult to describe.
Pirate King took the risk of buying my breast pump over ebay and getting the seller to ship to Sis' apartment in San Francisco, the damage done to our pockets if the breast pump dun gets delivered to Sis is SG$420! And now, he is thinking of getting this Fisher-Price mobile for Piglet. I m telling him to hang on to it first. If the breast pump gets to my Sis, then he can buy it!
Guess, Piglet is going to be a Daddy's girl. Pretty amazed by Pirate King's transformation on his attitude towards Piglet, from bo chup till now, he is even more anxious about Piglet than me! This definitely lightens my mood!
In the meantime, I just wish my mood will lighten up alot and I dun be so grouchy!

Care & Concern
Yesterday, I was extremely fed up with Pirate King that I "fired" at him and I m still ignoring him.
I almost cried out loud when Sis told me that she just wanna fly back to Singapore to see me giving birth and fly back once she has seen Piglet. Mum called me and told me to inform my confinement lady that she dun have to buy the special bathing herbs for me. Mum even has many advisors in Bentong on the dos & donts of confinement for me!
I will say, the kind of care & concern that I received from my family is definitely much more better than my parents in laws. I know that it is wrong to compare 2 different families or that I might not even give any chance for my in laws to do things for me. Its the gut feelings that tell me not to expect too much from them!
Like ah bond, he called me today and confide in me that his sprained ankle is actually hairline crack in one of the bones in his ankle. He told me not to worry about him and he will let me know once everything is settled or he needs help in getting home. The care & concern shown by us is natural.....
Whereas in the case of Pirate King's family, the siblings themselves can't be bothered with each other. Perhaps, each one of them has their own family? Or it boils them to how my parents in laws teach them the values etc?
Regardless of the child's personalities that might be inborn or not, the universal truth is how the children turns out to be, its the Parents' doing!
Thus, I kept on telling myself that where possible, I must teach Piglet the importance of family values etc.

Fed up!
I m simply so fed up with Pirate King! I can't stand it and "fired" at him today!
Yesterday, I told him where to find the contact no of the confinement lady in case of early labour. Guess what he told me, "You have to put it in a word document and print it out nicely for me to read." Sounds as if I m his secretary!
We are supposed to meet for dinner today but I was in discussion with my boss at work when he called me in office. He din even bother to sms me that he is hitching a ride from his colleague!
Afterwards, we agreed to meet at Vivo City. I was late and he complaint about having to wait for me! Somehow, something just snapped inside of me and I fired at him for being insensitive to me and my needs etcc especially in my current state! Imagine me hungry and always having to wait for him for dinner.... He s the one that is perpertually late!
Plus, he has the cheek to complain that he is tired! Why is he so tired? Coz he likes to watch animations on his PC at home till wee hours of the morning! Just simply fed up with him!

Tired
I m simply so tired! Realised that I m getting more and more forgetful these days! Is it due to my pregnancy or simply i m so tired that i refused to remember anything else except sleeping!
Went for my gynae check up on Mon, Dr Chan commented that Piglet is long again and her weight still remains the same as 2.7 kg whereas I m at 72 kg, ie I had put on 17 kg since the start of my pregnancy!
Wonder how the hell am i going to lose the weight after giving birth to Piglet. Till now, i dun have the nesting instinct... So mabbe Piglet won't be born that early yet! Keeping my fingers crossed that Piglet could be born on 26 Oct 07! I told Piglet that its best that she be born on 26 Oct coz everyone in my family will be back to welcome her arrival in this world! Mum has gone to Msia and is back next week, while Sis is still in San Francisco and will be back by 26 Oct 07.
My family and Pirate King told me to clear all my annual leave after my month end closing is over and once the annual leave is cleared. I should get Dr Chan to issue me MC to rest at home till Piglet is born!
Talking about family ties, I was mentioning to Pirate King about changing to a smaller flat after 5 years here in our current apartment. He mentioned that we should still get a 5 room flat as our parents might live with us, then i realised his intention of his parents to live with us. I m resistant to this idea coz I m selfish. Living with my in laws mean loss of freedom, personal space etc etc to me! Plus, i dun quite agree with my in laws take on bringing up children etcc.
No wonder, my Father in law was so concerned when he heard me mentioning about selling off our apartment. The way he sounded as if he has a stake in the house. No doubt, there comes a time when we have to honour our parents but somehow i m resistant to this idea. Perhaps it could be due to the fact on how my parents in laws treated Pirate King as compared to his brother. Well, i could only console myself if ever, i have to live with my parents in laws is that my children will be filial to me too... Coz i always believe in karma! :)
