Today's the Day

8 November 2008, 0530 hrs

I'm in my 39th week of pregnancy. For the past week, I had been eagerly anticipating baby's arrival. This time, I really want to have a natural delivery so badly. My bag is all packed and every night, I would wish that my waterbag would break or I would experience contractions...but nothing happened.

On Thursday, I went to Thomson Medical Centre (TMC) to confirm baby's dimensions. Baby's head circumference is 35 cm and weight is 3.653 kg. Amir Hakim was born at 38 weeks; head circumference was 36 cm and weight was 3.5 kg. After having through C-section for the first delivery, i discussed with my gynae Dr Lawrence Ang and we decided to go for C-section directly.

I was sad that I am not able to deliver naturally but i've come to accept reality and my fate. What's more important is that baby's healthy. So, today's the day that baby will be born. Rizal and i will be reaching TMC at around 10 am and the operation is scheduled at around 1 pm.

Please pray for us and for the safe delivery of our little one.

Goodbye to a fellow friend.

Salam boys, Change is the only constant on life. I am having Iftar with Ms Faridah, my school TA, who is leaving the school for greener pastures to better provide for her family. May Allah bless her with bountiful rezeki and good health. Insha'allah!

The last lap

I was on my way to marking PSLE scripts @ Toa Payoh. in a crowded mrt train but chillin' with hari raya tunes on my ipod. sepasang kurung biru...such sweet melancholy...thankfully my malay is still good enough to really appreciate the words. sighh... feels good. though eid celebrations have become low key for the past few years, i've stepped it up a notch a bit this year by hanging twinkling lights! energy-effecient LEDs, for the record. : ) wait..there's an unfamiliar raya song being played. Anyways, probably with my sons Hari raya might take on a different meaning in years to come. For me the takbir-my memories of my grandparents it rekindles & the old school, evergreen Raya songs will always be my version of a sweet & tranquil Eid celebrations. one more shout-out to my beloved pupils- all the best for your year-end exams. Your best is yet to come. Insha'allah!
