Blessings from Above

last thursday's OB visit was not exactly eventful (that explains this delayed entry)... claire's ultrasounds are not very interesting now that we can't see her completely. dr tan basically just checked through her organs for abnormality and everything seems normal which is really assuring. in any case, we are very happy to see her and hear her heartbeat. she's estimated to weigh 1233g @ 29 wks and i've put on about 9kg so far. medically speaking, i still have another 10 weeks to go before my EDD but since a baby birthed after 34 gestational weeks is already considered full term, princess claire could be out as early as the lunar new year week. our house is still in a mess, we've yet started my hypnobirthing/antenatal classes, the hospital bag is half packed, the list goes on... so you can probably imagine how much anxiety we are feeling now. considering the EDD is just that - estimated ... i really feel that i have to start getting things done! it obviously does

i spent about two hours sewing claire's first "security blanket"... and i think its beautiful! how do u like it? perhaps my little princess will be like linus of the charlie brown comic strip - amazingly intellectual and philosophical about life and problems. :) incidentally, charlie brown and gang are amongst my all time favourite!

So!!!!!! how did you celebrate your new year? Had plenty of fun? We made our last trip together as a family of two and thoroughly enjoyed each other's company! we stayed @ novotel hydro majestic, kuala lumpur visited petaling street, sunway lagoon, suria klcc shopping mall paid to use clean toilets, took taxi rides to get around and checked out the aquaria klcc admired the petronas twin towers, day & night (the view from our hotel room) watched the fireworks (again, from our hotel room) and basically, ate and shopped our time away! two more weeks before the next OB visit!
