Countdown to Adik - Week 39

Dear Amir,

I am 39 weeks pregnant with adik today. Yaya, as you have affetionately named her, is still curling peacefully inside. Tried to coax her to arrive within these past few days, or today, like right after our check up, but nope. It's very comfy inside i guess. You should know, you were there till 3 days before your EDD too right.

Anyway, the checkup went fine. Doc said Yaya is small, but not too small. (Small relative to you and the fact that Papa and I are not small ppl..hehe). Doc said her head is not fully engage yet, meaning it has not descend to the lowest position possible. So he booked me for another appointment next week, during which we will schedule an induction, if need be in the 41st-42nd week. Sigh...

Patting Yaya to sleep - your daily routine now

As usual, after check up, we went merendek. We were thinking of installing the much awaited wardrobe in the master bedroom when i'm away at Tok Ma's during confinement, so off we went to Ikea to get an idea. I had Ikea's salmon.. which was on my shrinking "to eat" list. Bought my CIMA study materials. Trying to squeeze in some study time during confinementla konon. My exam's in May, so i dont have much choice anyway. We also bought two books for your, one with pics of farm stuff and another was full of pictures of cranes, trucks and all the heavy vehicles. As expected, you preferred the book with the cranes and all, almost totally neglecting the other one. In fact, you 'read' and gaze at the cranes to sleep just now.

So much for 'done with jalan2 shopping2'. I thought i would deliver before I had another chance. But today kinda restarted the mood lah. Oh, we actually went to One Utama before the check up since we have some time to kill before in between some errand and the doc's appointment. So that's 4 malls, OU, Ikea, Ikano and Curve in less than a day. (Am hoping this will expedite things, but adik seems to enjoy the 'ride' je. She behaved very well and didnt even torment my bladder the whole way) I promised myself to go back for some nice undies this weekend, if i havent delivered. Incentive kinda thing, so that my mind wont be fixed on giving birth...but buying undies instead.. weee..

By the way, speaking of 'to eat' list, here's the collection for the past 9 mths.. and this is one of the reason why I hope i'm done with this pregnancy as soon as possible.. very hazardous .. hehe

2. Tony Roma's ribs - done
3. California Pizza Kitchen's artichoke dips - done, was also thoroughly enjoyed by you
4. Seafood Kuala Selangor - done
5. Ikea's salmon - done
6. Cuppacake cupcakes - done

12. Laksa johor - done tapi tak best, and now dah tak nak
13. Vietnamese beef noodle
14. Endless servings of sushi
15. Baby borneo drink

I know where to get the vietnamese beef noodle and sushi. Just a matter of when and with whom, since both are not Papa's palate. But the last one, the baby borneo drink.. i remember stocking it in my locker during my boarding school days. Now they're nowhere to be found. Those similar drinks available are nowhere close since they are too sweet most of the time. How ah? Anyone got any clue?
