Where should MummyLo begin. Okay, let's date back 3 weeks prior to your birth.
From Week 38 onwards, everyone under the Lo and Mak's household were filled with aniticipation. Every phone call that MummyLo make, people were expecting that it would be the news of your arrival. From then on, MummyLo avoid calling DaddyLo at work, because every time she calls, he would be excited to see if I was in labour. Grandma Mak and Grandma Lo stayed with us the whole time to look after all our meals and duties and be by MummyLo's side in case anything happens.
It started off being alright, we waited patiently and stayed at home most time just to be safe. As time goes by, we were getting abit bored and anxious. Every day, we joke about your arrival, and what we should do then. But the wait dragged on, in order to make time less miserable, your GrandmaLo and Grandma Mak brought MummyLo to yum cha, RSL clubs and shopping centers, places that are within 15mins of the hospital.
By Week 40, GrandPa Lo was getting really agitated too. He would ask MummyLo every day how I felt and whether I have any signs of labour. No signs yet...
On the 29th of March, we were all waiting, as 1st of March is your expected dued date. It was a saturaday, DaddyLo and MummyLo waited and waited and didn't want to go far from home. Yet, nothing happens. On the 2nd of March was Grandpa Lo's birthday, he was hoping that you will be his birthday present. He called MummyLo at 9am in the morning, 12pm and 5pm again that day to see whether you are on your way.
Week 41 was the most miserable. You were due any time and knowing that, MummyLo was a bit weary of going to places and sitting in someone elses' car. I had to carry a towel with me whereever I go.
On the 5th of March, we have to visit Dr Chua. He had to check whether my cervix is ready so that I would know whether I need the gel for the scheduled induction on the 10th of March. My cervix was 1cm dilated and I had the show.
On the 6th of March, my mucous plug was dislodged.
On the 7th of March, we had the CTG scan for you. In the morning, we went to yum cha and played a bit of pokies. We then went to shop more towels for you. DaddyLo joined us for the CTG check. Your heartrate was good and I have slight activity of tightingnings. At night, they were naughty enough to bring MummyLo to a sushi bar at eastwood. MummyLo was good and ate mostly cooked food even though I was very tempted to have the raw scampi. I thought it would be better to hold off until I see you arrive safely.
