Baby Language?

I had a visit from a couple of friends today and they told me about the Dunstan Baby Language System. They said it was pretty accurate. Here are some of their baby words:

* Neh="I'm hungry"
* Owh="I'm sleepy"
* Heh="I'm experiencing discomfort"
* Eair="I have lower gas"
* Eh="I need to burp"

I wonder if my baby Kylie will be using them.

BTW, I'm starting to have a really bad back ache right now. I wonder if this is early onset of labor?

I WISH.

Wish me luck.

My hubby and I are going to the mall later to pick up some ingridients for his famous "SAYOTE TOPS" recipe. I hope my water doesn't break there. It would be a bit embarassing.

I've had so much fun with this site yesterday! Check these out:

I've always wondered what I would look like in Marilyn's body. Now I know. I look hot! Hahaha! Just kidding.

Still NOT in Labor

Nobody can predict the onset of labor, just as no one can predict pregnancy.

I used to be so tired when people ask me when I'll get pregnant, and usually I'd give out three answers:

1. In God's time;
2. You'll know it when my belly gets bigger; or
3. Maybe tomorrow!

Now what I'm tired of is explaining why I'm still at work and why I'm not in labor yet. Let me explain, I don't think it's bad that people ask me all the time about my due date and when I'll give birth. I actually want to answer the question. I really really do. The problem is I don't know why I'm not in labor yet! That's why I could never give a straight answer.

On why I'm still at work: I'm still working to keep my mind off obsessing about why I'm not in labor yet. I'll file my maternity leave the moment my water breaks. Hahaha!

Working While Near Labor

Yes, I'm still reporting for work.

I would really not prefer to, but I have to do it because basically I have no more leave credits to spare. If I use up some more leave credits, I might not have enough in case I want to spend more time with the baby after my maternity leave expires, which is the most likely scenario (I just adore my little princess so much!).

I, together with the rest of my family, my friends and the people from work, wonder when I'll finally go into labor. I'm ready for birth, but apparently, little Kylie isn't yet, and that's ok. I want her to come out when she is ready. Who knows? Maybe I might go into labor tonight, or tomorrow? I just hope that when I do, it doesn't happen in the middle of our office or somewhere public, like in a restaurant or the mall. Hahaha!

Funny Funny Funny

I was watching Net25 last week when they featured this website: http://www.yearbookyourself.com/

Try it. You'll have tons of fun! My boss caught me doing this and he actually asked me to do this to his photo as well. He thought it was very funny. Check this out, here are 1968 versions of my photo and my husband's photo:

38 Weeks: Bring on the Labor

I'm only in my 38th week, and growing more and more impatient everyday. I know that the baby will come when it's ready and I don't want to rush the baby's delivery, but I'm just so excited to see my little girl! I want the labor pains to come and everything. As much as possible, I would prefer to have a normal delivery. Having a C-section is really scary for me, maybe because I have no control over it, and I would not feel my baby coming out. I know that it will be very very very very painful, but I would really prefer a normal delivery.

I had my check up last Saturday, and the doctor said that despite taking eveprim, my cervix was still not dilated. Now my doctor is making me take buscopan to thin out my cervix. I'm also walking around a lot now and still going to work. Hopefully, these measures will help bring on the labor.

The 37th Week

I'm near the finish line!

My baby's doing fine so far, and she's now a hefty 7.8 pounds! I wonder if I can still deliver her normally, considering that my cervix is not even close to dilating yet, and the baby keeps getting bigger and bigger every week.

Although I'm still optimistic that I won't see a scalpel anywhere near my abdominal area, I'm also preparing myself for the fact that I might get a C-section because of what's happening (or not happening) with my cervix.

Upon my doctor's advice, I took eveprim for a week. This drug, according to my doc, might help the cervix ripen and dilate, but it didn't work on me. I also walk everyday, but still, the cervix won't open. So a C-section delivery for me is really more likely right now. I'm so scared of the idea that I might go through a major operation (C-section), but thinking about my baby makes me feel better instantly.

I want to see her already!
