For 3 consecutive nights, I woke up in the middle of the night.
The air conditioner was turned off because of the temporary electricity cutoff…
I woke up HOT in my own sweat!
With 101 things on my mind, it wasn’t easy for me to fall right back into sleep…
Fortunately, I had Lil’ judebabe to accompany me.
She occasionally moved and writhed in me for the 1-2 hours before I fall right back into slumberland…
I also keep myself entertained and thought about of a lot of things.
I thought of this blog and wished that I could update more, I have always enjoyed at my older posts and smiled when reminded of the many things that happened and forgotten.
Except that I am slow, a post sometimes takes me a day or two and the slow connection made it a lot slower.
Sitting for hours isn’t wise at this stage.
I was also making a mental list of random stuff that I would like to blog about but I forgot them when I woke up the next morning.
*blames it on the pregnancy*
So here I am, trying very hard to recall…
Remember how I wanted a boy in the beginning, I was thinking to myself the other day, how nice it would be to have 2 girls!!! :-)
When I told Dp about my thoughts that girls are cute and its not a bad idea having 2 girls,
he gave me a look that says, what took you so long?
Girls are a lot closer to their parents when they are all grown up, we can then all share bags, especially the classic ones like Chanel flaps… if they haven’t gone moldy then.
And when I told Dp months ago, that I lost the Tiffany bracelet he gave me on my 22nd Birthday.
He chose it and sent it to Singapore from UK.
He said that I could shop for two. One for myself and another for Lil’ judebabe.
A sweet thought.
But nah! I don’t think Lil’ judebabe could wear one until she is much older and I will probably be too old to be wearing one.
I am still searching for the lost bracelet, it is of great sentimental value to me.
And even greater sentimental value, if Lil’ judebabe wears it.
Dad was also telling me that the chances of us having girls as firstborn was high.
Because , Dp’s dad has 3 elder sisters before he was born as the eldest son, Dp has an elder sister, Dad has 4 elder sisters before my Uncle was born and Andrew have 2 elder sister, Ashley and me.
He said that its genetic!
I informed Dp that Lil’ judebabe’s hearing is already fully developed.
She will be familiar with our voices and will feel secured & soothed when she hears our voice after she’s born.
On the first occasion, he said, Oh no! All our daughter hear is how you keep scolding me.
(Never mind him! I am not that mean!)
On the second occasion, he said, Our daughter will grow up to be very close to you…
(I could sense his jealousy.)
Dp randomly picks up parental guidance books and decided that newborns are wrinkly and scary!
He couldn’t wait for Lil’ judebabe to grow out of the newborn phase and becomes more responsive and fun to play with.
He has his anxiety about carrying newborns, they seemed fragile. But was paying close attention to my words when I told him the correct and safe way to carrying newborns.
You should also see how patient and attentive he is to all the 1 – 3 year olds kids around us!
When I panic or tries to inform Dp the graveness of certain issues, I would scare Dp by saying, in an exaggerated manner,
When I panic my hearts beats fast, and when heart beats fast, my uterus contracts!!!
It worked.
We have been watching 2 DVDs everyday for the past few weeks… One during his 2.5 hour lunch break and another at night.
We vowed to finish the box of DVDs before the arrival of Lil’ judebabe… Coz we know we are never going to have time to watch DVDs together and comfortably with her.
One of the pregnancies Don’ts (according to Old wives) is never to watch horror movie, anything with too much gore or anything depressing, i.e, watch comedies only!
But with Dp that’s never possible. He loves horror movies. Hates romance and chick flicks.
We have been watching movies like Grudge 3, Saw V, Friday 13th, Midnight Meat Train (just one of the few I remembered… coz after awhile all the bloody scenes looked the same to me) and recently a series of movies with depressing themes of genocides and oppressed jews during WWII.
He doesn’t just go for movies that tops the charts but also DVDs that he hasn’t watched before.
Once in a while, we watch movies that’s good & arty film festival standards and sometimes awful crappy straight-to-video B-grade movies.
Which is also why we have bookshelves of DVDs and despite our 2 DVDs-a-day, we still have a box of unwatched DVDs…
Was telling Dp how my Dad gave my Mom with a watch after Andrew was born.
I then asked if I could claim my reward.
He is usually slow in responses and agrees to my requests with some hesitation, but not that day.
He replied immediately with a very certain, SURE!
I think I will never forget that day, and I am sure he probably never will too, when I claim my reward.
Another weekend tomorrow. I love hanging out with Dp all day.
I wonder how many more LAZY weekends, to enjoy, before Lil’ judebabe arrives…
