34 Weeks and counting

Went for the biweekly antenatal checkup yesterday and saw a glimpse of our beautiful princess through the ultrasound. So far everything is good. The dr said there's no sign tht she's tangled up in her umbilical cord nor are there signs tht she might be in for early labor. Alhamdulillah... all is good. 6 weeks more to go.

I'd also voiced my concerns on the episiotomy procedure, after hearing about it's horrifying no-anaesthetic-cut & stitch... The dr said, the procedure is not inevitable, but usually, it is done to prevent natural tears that are more difficult to repair. And she said yes, sometimes the incision is made without administering local anaethetic to the mommy coz the perineum will be too stretched for the mother to feel anything anyway. But for the stitching up part, anesthetic will be given, but mommy would most likely still feel something. She told me not to worry so much about those things but just to enjoy the whole thing. Hehe.. i'm trying here.. that's why i want to find out what's going on during labor.

The nurses asked us to check out the labor suites, so that we know where to go when the time comes... Yikes... It's all so near now huh? I haven't prepared my hospital bag yet... As for the baby stuffs, i think we've got most of it already... just little things like the toiletries that we haven't gotten yet. So, might probably scout for it these few days since both Dan and I will be around.

Excited, yet nervous as the big day draws closer....
