10th month into my first pregnancy

9/12- Daddy,mummy & Shawn are finally here. They are here to help out & support me as my D-day is near. Went for a great steamboat dinner @ Damansara village. Baby keep kicking & squirming hard on my tummy. Now as she gets bigger, her movement can be seen with her legs jetting out on my tummy.
11/12- Time is drawing very near. Many of my colleagues who are due around my due date already gave birth. It's the waiting time that really make everyone stress. Will it fall on Christmas? Or on 29th which will be on my hubby's birthday? Hehe.. Baby you'll decide alright. Mummy & daddy leave this to you to decide. We are excited to see you soon.
12/12- Woke up early to follow hubby & mum to market. Although I can't walk for too long & go between crowded areas, it's always nice to sit by the cafe to watch people doing their marketing. Hubby & mum are busy preparing for steamboat dinner tonite. Baby is very active today. While having my light breakfast, she's squirming & kicking. The whole day I can feel her squirming & kicking. Felt so nice & happy. My legs & hands are starting to swell even more. A gynae friend of my hubby said he thinks that I'll be due this week based on these symptom that my hubby describe to him. Actually I prefer baby to stay on a little while more so that she can continue to grow in my tummy. Perhaps till at least around Christmas time which she'll be about 38weeks old. Now sleeping position is a real big matter to me. I can only sleep on stacks of pillows that supports my back upright now. Kind of uncomfortable as my swollen feet & hands are quite painful & also my back aches are really killing me. Even when I sleep flat on the bed, I will need hubby's help to sit upright. Just feel like a helpless tortoise who tries to turn it's shell around.
15/12- officially into 37weeks. The feeling is so great that baby will be due anytime now. The joy & excitement that only me & my hubby can feel while waiting anxiously. Baby is still active now. Braxton hicks are making it's way more often now even during mid night. I m wondering how the real contraction will feel like.
18/12- Today doctor scheduled a CTG test to examine baby's heartbeat. It's a 30 mins test where I was strap with 2 scopes to capture baby's heartbeat, movement & my contraction. Doctor said baby's heartbeat & movement are healthy. And I've not got any contraction. So now is to rest & wait for the next check up.
