Friday, 27th February 2009 (Week 39)
One more week to go – or so I pray!
This morning, I forced myself to vacuum* all the mattresses and changed everyone’s bedsheets. Then I packed my hospital bag.
And I am supposed to finish grading whatever work left undone – which is a lot since I didn’t do anything yesterday.
An update : Ok – it’s the end of the day already and I have not even touched the pile of work I was supposed to clear. 🙁
All I can think about is when am I going to birth. Sigh. If only one can will oneself into labourland.
* I borrowed my brother’s Delphin vacuum cleaner to do that.

Sitting here having BHs and always wondering if it’d lead to anything. Or just a visit to the loo.

Had to go see the chiropractor. The pelvic bone area was hurting really bad. I had gotten adjusted last Wednesday but the pain seemed to have returned over the weekend. Ds said it may have been the vacuuming of the mattresses.
The session really helped me. I could now get up from the floor and the chair with no pain! Turning from side to side on the bed was still a problem but hey! it was miniscule compared to the excruciating pain before the adjustment.

I get a break from cooking dinner today! Sister Shirley from our church, Covenant Vision Christian Church is inviting the whole gang over to her house for a sukiyaki dinner! Yums!!! 🙂

Went for dr’s check up. I was in and out of the room in 5 minutes flat! Even the nurse teased me and said I should ask the dr more questions to get my money’s worth. Dr said that the baby has “gone down” but of course that means nothing to moms who have birthed more than once 🙁 I see him in a week’s time if I don’t go into labour before.

Bad sleep. Woke up at 4am to visit the toilet and couldn’t get into a comfortable position to go back to sleep. And then got hit by waves of BHs. I think I finally fell asleep at 6:30am!
Went for another chiropractor adjustment. Washing the 2 toilets upstairs did nothing for my back 🙁 It was so painful when she adjusted me. But I am glad I went coz now I am feeling great!
Lots more BH throughout the day. Lots of mucous too. The BHs are slightly different. Stronger and much more intense and lasting longer too. No pattern as yet tho’. Could be sooner than I think. But we’ll see…

Whatever strong BHs I had yesterday had faded 🙁 So you’ll probably be hearing from me still….
