Hi Baby,
That's was what the nurse said yesterday during the check up. Wow, I didn't know we're in 8 months already. Not long to go now. What happened at check up yesterday... The clinic is now giving everybody their own pee cup to use because a patient complained. When mommy was having initial check up done there were visitors to the clinic, the nurse had to take mommy's blood pressure twice because the first reading says 137/75 and the second reading says 140/75! Both was written in red on mommy's card.
Then the second check with another nurse, she asked the usual questions, is baby moving,? Yup. Varginal discharge? Normal. Told her that I just had a cold last week and is recovering, didn't take any medication apart from vitamin C, lots of fluids and Vicks for the nose. Feeling light headed probably because hadn't had breakfast yet, and she used the old school blood pressure to recheck, which she says is more accurate anyway because the fancy digital ones got too many variables that can escew the reading, and it's 110/70. Normal.
When nurse checked on baby with fetal heart monitor you kicked her hand again like you did last visit. Mommy learnt baby heart rate is 140 to 160 is normal, 120 to 140 is ok, it's the one below 100 is when they worry. Yours was always about 145 - 155.
The next check up is in two weeks, and also the second ultrasound. They gave the detailed medical card for me to carry around just in case the unexpected having to go to the labour ward, so it's now in mommy's bag.
Still have yet to finish packing the overnight bag, haven't washed your clothes yet, will do that tomorrow so I can finally pack them. Clean the house, finish off work in the studio, what else do I need to do... Hmmm... Finish reading all the pregnancy and birth books.
Body is getting stiff more quickly now. Especially lower back. Movement is slow because of the stiffness until body gets warmed up. Been waking up really early nowadays way before the alarm or waking up in the middle of the night for some reason and I go to the bathroom in case that was the reason why I woke up in the first place.
My skin is fantastic, and I wonder will it last after the pregnancy or revert back... Got to check on the finances if I could afford all the post pregnancy massages and getting someone to come in once a week to clean the house.
Have to find out how to use washable nappies and what is needed, someone said they got a whole load of nappy liners which I hope is coming our way and then we just need to get something I can't remember what it's called...
Had a brief discussion with daddy on potential names for you, daddy got one already if there were two of you, but for just one, hadn't decided. I just know it's going to be short. Mommy never saw the point why name your child with gazillions of syllables and only to be called something else. So your name is going to be short and sweet and that will be the name you will be known as, besides, I remembered reading when your name is called it's like pahala. Told your dad, at the most, two syllables.
Alright then Baby, will see you soon!
Love,
Mommy
