Poor Brandon

Brandon is going to be 1 month old

5 more days to B-day

5 more days to B-day.... can it be a little bit faster...
I dreamt that walnut is born, with only 2 hard pushes and he pop... hope it will be that easy...

Trying to keep myself occupied while waiting.... there is really a lot to do....

My daily routine as a temporary full-time housewife
1) Clear dishes (if any)
2) Boil water
3) Sweep the floor
4) Go mother's hse or MIL's house, if nt, cook lunch, do mask
5) Wash clothes and iron clothes once every few days
6) Wipe cabinet if it is dusty
7) Afternoon Nap
8) MSN
9) Watch TV
10) Sleep

6 days and counting ....

6 more days to walnut due date... in fact, he can pop anytime. I can feel that he is moving down these few days...


Finger and feet start to get swollen due to water retention. Can be uncomfortable at times... and a bit painful when i massage on it... wee wee frequency increases especially when walnut tries to move downwards... neverthless, these are good signs that he is getting ready...

1st Lesson - Nutritional Needs

Attended the 1st lesson on last Friday at Mt Alvernia.

This is the only lecture session which lasted for ard 1hr... informative session and it reminded me to increase my intake of Calcium and Iron...

• Calcium - baby is growing vertically now... hence calcium is required for bone growth.
• Iron - baby is getting active. Food for baby and baby waste are transport through blood stream hence I need more iron to create new blood cells for the baby. And baby needs to store more Iron for use when he is born cos mummy's milk do not have this mineral.

With the increase activity in my body, I tends to get tired more easily. In addition, baby always kick at almost anytime he likes. More frequent in the morning when I wake... and before I sleep at nite... what an active baby!

Looking forward to the next lesson on Exercises and an additional workshop on Breastfeeding...
