A letter to my baby girl

Dear baby, 

It is now week 34! 

Mummy had a pleasant pregnancy all along. Compared to the many mummies out there, u have been super good to me! 

Worst things? 
I guess the worse part was getting frightened during first trimester when u kicked the placenta / I duno wad.. Until I profuse bleed . No pain. But pails of blood! N doc was worried u will drop out ! Twice during first trimester. 

What I decided to give up? 
I stop my biz partly because I m not keen anymore, I'm too stress, n doc said I would lose u if I continue to work. N venue was freaking far. I had to BEDREST. N I nvr regret. I think u brought us super gd luck. On the day just before we decided to renovate n change to other biz (cos lost hope in getting a buyer). A generous lady paid n just took over our shop! 

ALL TROUBLES GONE in may. 


Happiest? 
We get really super happy whenever u kick me! Although I dun show it ALWAYS, but u know right! 
Although we sometimes(ESP me cos I'm feeling it) grumble cos u can shift n kick til mummy lose nights of Slp! But we love u nonetheless! As long as ur healthy! 





What is mummy guilty abt? N WAD I WENT THRU? 

Mummy basically is EXTREMELY fussy abt foods even before preg. N I got fussier when I'm preg with u. 

#1 tri: 
As I worked, so I didn't really have any cravings. Nauseous wad ok too. Just vvdizzy daily. I drank formula milk or took full meals 6-8cups/plates a day! 
Tt explains my super weight increase? 

The nightmare was only peeing uncontrollably at times, n peeing throughout the night! I mean , I can almost be Caught sitting in toilet til I see sunrise/ daddy off to work . 


#2: 
I started nua-ing in bed BEDREST most times. 
Every week on avg I go shopping online/ at nearby mall/ sales like expo to find loots for u! 
Yes I v Kia su. 
I don't believe I will hv the luck of having a full term baby, at least not at wk 40. 
Because tv shows so, n I hv adbormalities womb + all gynaes say so. 
In fact. Most give us the: "think u will pop before wk 30!'

Which made us worried n Kia su. 
So I basically shop like a crazy mummy since I had all the time in the world. Of cus, i gt compare prices la. I just can't get to Slp in peace if I didn't get Tt item I want / chore done!!! 

Surprisingly, this also made me endup doing chores more n more daily! 

N NOW MUMMY IS EXPERT! 

Mummy basically like all others, had my honeymoon period in 2nd trimester! All except I began craving soups daily n junk. But I have no much apetite. 
But weight still increase. 

V glad all ur scans show ur healthy n bubbly!!! 

Sorry mummy ate quite a lot junk. 
Like at least 2 cold drinks + abit of junk (chips/ whip potato/ fries) daily!!! 

The nightmare was headaches! Horrible ones yet I don't dare rely on panadol . But glad we pulled thru! 


#3: 

Now doc has announced I hv cleared the most dangerous wk 28, n today I hv cleared wk 34! 
I don't believe it's because of the steroid injections. I strongly believe its because u heard my prayers. Ur a super gd girl!!! 

Doc is also amazed that ur head turned! N in the best position! Although not engaged yet! 

AND OF COS, we were amazed too! Cos doc kept telling us u were too comfy n most likely wont turn + need c sect. 


Like many cousins , I hope I can be a clam n not rely medicine too. I hope I can deliver u naturally without epidural! 
But if I took, I'm sorry honey!!! 
I try my best ok!! 

This trimester, I haven't been slping because I keep hungry due to increase in medications + just can't Slp! Sometimes is cos nauseous / u shifting ur butt too high it hurts. Haha!! 

No nightmares so far. As all pains are bearable. The nightmare coming is of cos the delivery la! 
Mummy no deliver before. Now as long as my undies feel wet, I GET PETRIFIED. I duno when n how much then considered water leak, as many say can be as little as urine n no pain!! 

I try to only do chores, watch tv, n just tot in bed. 
Haven really gone out except going doc visits/ light shopping with papa during early weeks. These wk 30-34 mummy is home practically daily. 
N trying to shift n tidy the house everyday. Lol! 





So dear baby, 
I pin my hopes for u to be chubby, healthy. HEALTHY, VERY HEALTHY. 




Love, 

Mummy + sleeping daddy. Haha! 

* ps: ur English name is chloe!
U can change when u grow up. 
I decided on this because its 
Biblical? N it's means young growing sprout, blooming life! N it's a common name yet not those "maid maid" names. It can be a sweet/ cute personality. But pls don't become bitchy like my ex colleague la! HAGAHA! 

As for Chinese name, a lil conflict still. 
Respecting daddy's mummy, I will wait for her choice n then compare. 


Slp tight baby Chloe. 

N pls Rem, although we tot n assumes u were a boy due to all stress from everyone .. But we love girl equally! In fact, I think I can take care a girl better! So pls don't be angry with us ok!!! MUACKS!
