Since I have been advised to stay at home to wait out my pregnancy, I finally have the chance to check my blog. My gosh! My last update was 2 months ago! Yet again, this proved how time flies with anticipation.
I am due in 2 days and suffer from mild pregnancy hypertension. Am I excited? To be honest, I think I am more impatient than excited at this point. The weight of my baby bump is taking a toll out of me. I kept waking up every hour or 2 throughout the night. It seems like a decent straight 4 hours slumber is no longer possible. I am anxious about how my BP affects the health of my baby. I am easily irritated and I just want to get it over and done with! Basically, just pop already! 
Actually, I have been rather lucky throughout my entire pregnancy. No morning sickness, cravings or any unreasonable mood swings or depression. I was jolly all the way till now… I have to concur that the last 2 weeks of a pregnancy is the hardest. It’s like, so near yet so far! You are like a walking time bomb just waiting to pop.
In terms of weight, I have not been as lucky as some. My total weight gain up till now is 23 kg. The only consolation that I’ve got is that 95% of my weight gain is due to water retention. I know cause honestly, if I could be seen physically, I am one swollen walking Michelin twins.
So, I believed in 2 days time, my doctor will induce the birth of my first born cause it is time. He is a very mature fetus by now as he is 40 weeks old. I am just crossing my fingers that I will be able to deal with whatever pain that is gonna hit me. If all fail, just give me the bloody Pethidine!!!
