Week 32 and praying hard...

Baby's got a new name recently! In one of the recent visits to Dr Paul, he printed out a scan photo of the bub and made a typo mistake. Robbie and I thought it really cute... 'BOPY'. Dr Paul wanted to type out 'I am a boy' but ended up with 'I am a bopy'!

In any case, Bopy's 32 weeks going on 33 weeks already!

I had a bad scare on the 11th of August, with heavy bleeding. Went to TMC, got admitted for one night for observation and was monitored and checked by Dr. Paul the next day. Thank God that Bopy was fine, heart beat going really strong, and Dr. Paul said that everything seems normal. Placenta was high (not low), and cervix wasn't dilated.

I got discharged and was given bed rest. However, subsequently, I started having spotting and staining of pinkish and light brown blood and everyone I asked, from Mrs Wong Boh Boi, to Dr. Paul, to the nurses in TLC, said that unless I start to bleed heavily, there's pain, there's cramps, or there alot of discomfort together with the spotting, I should go in to the 24-hr clinic at TMC again. Also, I need to monitor that baby moves at least 10 times a day.

I did quite a bit of reading up online as well, and it seems that while bleeding is not common, neither is it uncommon, unless accompanied by those symptoms as mentioned above. 

So having read 'Supernatural Birth', I put faith in God that all women have the right to have healthy kids, to be void of barrenness, I pray hard that everything would be fine and baby will be granted all fineness of human life and beings.

Robbie and I visited Yilin, Dan and Colette (our latest addition to the social group) yesterday in KKH. Colette's absolutely adorable and I have never seen a more alert and curious 1-day old baby!

I can't wait and have given Bopy the permission to come out after the 9th of October... NOT earlier... and I can't wait to see him. Dr Paul's gonna be away from the 20th September to the 3rd of October. Which is why Bopy can only come out after Dr. Paul returns!

Also, I just read that the 'SHOW' can actually reveal itself as early as a few weeks before due date! I hope that my recent spate of spotting and staining (sometimes muscousy), is not the 'SHOW'. Because Bopy's gotta to learn to listen to mommy and stay in there to grow bigger, healthier, and develop more before he comes out to see the world from the 9th October onwards!
