Anytime...

... or so I have been told upteen times for the last 2-3 weeks. So when IS anytime? The anticipation and the wait are draining the life out of me.

Updates at 39+ Weeks

My Weight Gain: 0 kg (See! I told you the two big boxes of mooncakes I have almost single-handedly polished off works wonders in keeping the weight off! Mooncakes should be part of all diet regimes from now on.)

Kaelyn's Weight: Approximately 3.01kg

Kaelyn's Weight Gain: 0.2kg

Kaelyn's Head Circumference: Approximately 33cm

Kaelyn's Femur Length: 7cm

Kaelyn's Tummy Circumference: Approximately 33cm

Kaelyn's Average Heartbeat: 130-150 beats per minute

Effacement: 2-3cm

The great thing that came out of today's routine medical check-up was that Kaelyn's weight gain is taken from my (abundance of) fats! Woot Woot!

Doc says Kaelyn is fully engaged (yay!), so I'm just twiddling my thumbs and strumming my fingers, all ten of them, just waiting for D-Day. Dum de dum de dum. I'm sure Kaelyn is doing the same in there too. It sure feels like it all the time.

I was hooked up to the CTG today. It was supposed to only be for half and hour, but I think I moved a bit too much and the readings weren't accurate so I had to do it for a longer period of time. There was only one major surge, the others were just baby ones. Then when the nurse took the machine off me did I get several continuous surges. Arghhh. Murphy's law! How annoying.

Made another appointment with the Doc to see her next week. Hopefully I will get to see her earlier. I was given a deadline (you should have seen the Doc's face change when I asked her what was the drop dead date-- severe occupational hazard on my part-- I should have asked her for the "Long-Stop Date" instead. Means the same thing, but think people in the medical profession don't take too kindly too "Drop Dead" dates. Heh =)). Anyway, the deadline set by the Doc is 27-28 September. Nothing beyond that. I hope Kaelyn is a good obedient girl and comes out way before then (this is her first test of obedience). I want her birth to be as natural as possible and I really don't want to induce her out. I hope things will work out.
