The perfect position

Just got back from St. Paul. Here's the update for you guys :)

After I got back from Kwong Wah, mattress has already arrived and hubby put it in bed. I then put the brand new bed sheet over it. Took me longer than I thought to do it cos of the awkward position I was in and the mattress was heavy...But eventually we've got the bed sorted and tonight we're gonna have a good night 'supportive' sleep for once!

Time flies it was already 4:30 after we finished sorting the bed. We took a taxi to St.Paul since hubby isn't feeling his best today. We got to St.Paul at 5:30, registered and found out that I was 14 on the list. So we figure we could go out, grab dinner and then head back. We met up with Nick and Mercy and walked over to Cafe Tornado for dinner. Hubby had his favourite salmon set, me, Nick and Mercy has the vegetarian version mushroom pasta. Was nice! We left Tornado at around 8:15. Got back to the hospital and I was the second one to go in. Good timing! Quickly went to do the urine test and everything was fine as usual.

Met Dr. Fong and introduced Nick and Mercy. This time we recorded the ultrasound session. Dr. Fong even gave a longer than usual explanation for our visitors sake:) very nice of him. Haven't checked the video yet, Hubby will do that later :) According to Dr. Fong, Xiaobao's head is now facing down and his face is facing inside me. This is the 'perfect position' for delivery! Good Xiaobao :) I asked if the baby will be able to move back up again. He said not likely enough room cos he's growing bigger and bigger heh. It means all the time the 'round hard thing' that sticks out my tummy I used to think it's Xiaobao's head is actually his bum bum lol. Now I can surely pat away! Xiaobao was very active while we were having dinner. However during the ultrasound, since he's facing downward and his face facing me, it's difficult to see his face this time. We had to use some more imagination. But we saw he's clenching his fist :) and we saw his eyes, his ears and oh his 'pin pin' ;) (Guess what that is lol)

After the consultation, I waited for my vitamin pills and my sick leave for tomorrow (good...a day in to rest! :) we were on our way home. Nick and Mercy went to take a bus home whereas me and hubby took the MTR home.

Here we are, arriving at 10:15 pm :)

My next appointment with St. Paul will be in 4 weeks time. Next month, I'll have 3 different appointments on three different days in two different hospitals :)
