Catz: Week 37 is considered good, just enjoy this period and don't feel guilty about it. Prepare yourself positively 'cause then can produce more breastmilk. yah, I remember about the binder, thank MGTeo for reminding. I recalled my gynae provide the binder after the operation, can't remember if he is the one or the nurses who put on the binder for me. You may want to check with your gynae if she does provide one. And for the 1st one or two days, you can't go toilet to pass urine, it will be drained into a bag. Quite convenient lah, you probably want to lie down most of the time. Will your hubby or mum stay with you at night?
Just had my checkup this evening. Apparently I am not gaining weight for the last 2 mths (last 3 checkups), but baby seems to be ok. Maybe, my body got extra fats to feed the baby. During this period as SAHM, I am not eating as much as when I am working. Usually eating the same kind food as what I cook for Lucas. So today got sian, brought Lucas to take a bus to market & eat chwee kwee and almond paste. It is getting harder for me to handle him by myself when we are in public places. He got bored and sat then lied on the floor in the market. Luckily the floor was dry, so have to carry him and finished my chwee kwee, then carried the bowl of alomd paste & looked for a soya bean drink stall to buy one glass to entertain him. After this trip, I am not going to bring him to market by myself anymore. No stamina to carry and handle him.
High chance that Lucas will be having a baby brother. Not 100% guarantee, gynae thought he saw something there. Anyway, we are resigned to destiny to have 2 boys (a few fortune tellers already said so). A girl will be a real surprise.
babyd: nanny tried to toilet train Lucas for months. But each time when he return home esp weekends, he forget about it & unlearn everything. I suspect this 1 mth away from nanny, has brought him back to the primitive stage. But he will say he has pooed after his business is done so that we can change his diapers. Nanny's method is to go diaperless, after awhile, he will request to go to toilet. But this initial stage requires lots of cleaning up. I don't think my place is ready for this, mattresses are over the floor. So I think we will wait a while.
