I am chubby!

Time flies, it's getting closer and closer for Xiaobao to arrive! Today at St. Paul we saw Xiaobao's chubby face. Well at first I couldn't see it. Wherever Dr. Fong was pointing I thought it was his fingers, but turned out it's his face! Today Xiaobao's face is facing side-way. Though his head is engaging which is good. I asked if the ultrasound can tell whether or not my birth canal will be big enough for his head to pass through. Apparently his head is already 39 weeks when I am just 35 weeks as of today! :/ Xiaobao weighs approximately about 3 kg. He's indeed getting heavy, this afternoon I walked around without the girdle on, my thighs felt so tired after 2 or 3 steps! It makes a big difference when the supportive girdle is on!

He's gonna be a big baby, there's no doubt about it! Doctor told me to walk more, being a teacher that shouldn't be a problem. Though this is my last week in school so I'll have to make sure I walk more at home! Should start walking up and down stairs as daily exercise. Our flat is so small that I can't really walk around much. Always stuck on the sofa which isn't really ideal for me and Xiaobao. The more exercise I do, the easier the delivery will be, everybody's telling me that...and my tight fingers are all normal according to Dr. Fong. They are called 'trigger fingers'. Though when I asked will I get 'trigger toes' Dr. Fong seems to appreciate my joke lol.

After Xiaobao's birth, in 6-8 weeks time, we have to go back for post-natal checkups to make sure everything's fine for both of us. Time is pretty tight for our Christmas schedule, so we'll have to do our best. There are lots of uncertainties. Getting Xiaobao's birth certificate, passport (these two are most important and yet we won't know how long it'll take to process - hope for the best), arranging for checkups, etc. Booking the tickets will be a pain in the backside in our case, which also means it's gonna be expensive :/ *sigh*

Asked about the delivery package offered in St. Paul, if there is any emergency change of delivery plan, extra cost will be added on. If it's during normal office hour, it'll be extra few thousands, however if it's late at night or early in the morning, it'll be more expensive, close to nearly another 10k :-/ *joy oh joy*

We've just made Xiaobao's bed. It's looks comfortable and cute. It'll be here awaiting for Xiaobao's return :D
