It's been a hectic week and I'm not getting enough sleep. Waking up in the middle of the nights is pretty much the norm nowadays, coupled with the ever constant urge to urinate, cramp legs and joint pain in the fingers. My, so much pain a pregnant mother have to go through. It's always a wonder why women have to suffer so much and the XY gender seems to be a blessed lot.
I've been sitting in Starbucks for almost the entire day just to finish my work cos the internet connection at home is down. Somehow, being here gives me the consolation as I'm constantly accompanied by nice, eccentric songs from the 60s, people of all sort: mother and child sharing a plate of cheese cake, a few other wifi users busy typing away or surfing the internet. I've drank enough hot and ice signature chocolate for today and I think the little one inside is overly contented with mummy's over indulgence of choc. And I'm obviously oblivious to the stares of the waiters who must be pondering "how long is she going to sit there?" or "when is she ever going to leave?"
Oh by the way, we have considered another name for our junior; SEAN. Sean will be our second choice since MIL is of the opinion that Matthew has a bad connotation when pronounced in the Cantonese dialect "Mat Tiew". It's an irony how people would turn a nice name into something that sounds so horrid, like the name Paul Chan can be pronounced as "Phor Chan" in Canto, giving it a negative meaning. Anyway, the name Sean is of Irish origin, variant of the Hebrew name John "God is Gracious", from French Jean. Nice name but we're not certain about it yet, not like how we've agreed on the name Matthew.
Hubby and I will be attending our supposedly first pre-natal class since we missed this one earlier in the month and our last class will be towards the end of the month. Gosh, I'll be due very soon. Based on the scan last tuesday, doc said baby is due on the 14th of Dec 2009, 2 weeks sooner that the actual date 25th December 2009. Mummy is 31 weeks pregger and he weight at 1.93kg so doc asked that I be prepared by the middle week of Dec. Baby is putting on healthily and mummy has already tipped the scale by adding a whopping 2.6kg to her weight. The weight and stretch marks is scaring the hell out of me, albeit no signs of those pink lines yet. Not certain how it looks though but hubby said I don't have it and should not worry too much about it. Fill me in on this, please....
I'm still indecisive as to whether I want to have a C-sec or natural birth. Can anyone offer me the pros and cons of both method of delivery?
