Emmie,
What a coincidence! You are delivering in GEH too? Yah, I agree with you. The lifts are horrible. Always so slow. They should really do something about it.
Hey. Don't worry about the lack of movement. Sometimes, I also forgot if the bb move at all for that hour. Slowly, after a while, I know my bb is the kind who is very active in the evening, I just make sure she moves in the evening/ at night. if not, I thnk i will call my gynae.
Have you done your pre admission? My hb's colleague who delivered there told me to do pre admission first cos the time taken to do admission can be pretty long. Imagine if you are having contractions.
Usually, I kept myself occupied with thinking of my bb's Chinese name. I happened to come across a few websites that teaches parents how to count the strokes of the name. So, I just think of a name, then count the strokes and tally with the list. Quite tedious job. if you want, i can send the website to you. But, must warn you, it can be very demoralising when the names you like happened to be not so good. Then, it's a huge dilemma between a name you like and a name that is auspicious.
If i get really sick of thinking names, I just watch DVDs and do simple housework or surf net. Just subscibed to hollywoodclicks. Quite a convenient way to watch DVDs.
How about you? How do you keep yourself occupied?
Samantha,
According to the list that my gynae has given me, I am supposed to bring one set of vest, mittens, booties, shirts and wrapping blanket for the bb.
But, I saw that my aunt has a bb vest by Gleneagles. I think it's complimentary. But, will be bringing my own cos' want to dress up my bb for the homecoming.
