soon....

It's a journey that one may cherish for the rest of her life. I'm already 36 weeks and my oh my... has this tummy gotten ever so big! Work's been keeping me occupied that I barely realised that I'm nearing the start of my maternity leave... Alhamdulillah~ I'm just a few weeks away from my due date and to date, Alhamdulillah, everything from my checklist is done!

So I had my first weekly appointment today. The doc tukar lagi *sigh* She's new usulnya but yet very friendly and thorough with her checks (which is good) Young too, so to communicate with her is much better than the previous one (not that I'm saying that the previous one atu nda bagus.. masing2 ada baiknya lah)... hope that she'll be assisting me during my delivery nanti.  Well- I can only hope. It all depends on where I'll be delivering *lol*

I'll be starting my maternity leave soon. Inda terasa eh, I know some may say, 'sayang eh if you start cuti two weeks before due... krg mun tekana you overdue inda jua banyak masa to spend time with your baby tu...' True tho, but I trust my instinct... insya-Allah berbaloi~ and I need rest so as to prepare meself physically and mentally for the upcoming labour! *jeng*jeng* Consider myself lucky that so far, I have not experienced any braxton hicks... worried I was before but sudah d baca2 arh books & online. They say, some women may not be experiencing BH at all and just straightaway with the contractions! Tawakal saja lah I...

As for now, preparations for this dearest Mum-2-Be are :

• squatting exercises
• daily perineal massages
• need to go for hair treatment & steam at the start of my ML
• re-arranging a few stuffs in our room
• ..and ofcourse, prepare myself spiritually, semoga dipermudahkan & sihat wal'afiat kehendakNya *Amin*

We're gonna be parents!!! *iskiness*
