After nearly a week (seems like a year) of hibernating at home, I finally went out and got myself some fresh air.
Since my helper came last Sunday, the only places i have been to are the coffee shops and wet market below my block. But i've had fun cooking together with her!
On Friday, K and I went for baby's check up, and in the evening, I met up with my SATS colleagues for dinner at Orchard. Dr Lim says Bria is growing very healthily and now weighs 2.8kg! That's pretty big for 35 weeks, and it makes me a bit worried that she will be so big at full term that i will have a difficult labor.. = (
Anyway, last Friday's check up was like THE shortest wait i've ever had at the clinic, cause i was the 2nd last one. The clinic actually had to call me to see if i was already on the way.. haha.. And by the time we were done, it was almost 7pm already.
Over the weekend, I attended a 20 minutes F&N beverage survey and got myself $20. Then K and I went out to complete our baby shopping and did some grocery shopping. In the evening, we went to my sister's house, where my helper further honed her cooking skills, and we all had dinner together with my parents.
This week, i am going to pack my hospital bag (finally), and explore some confinement dishes with my helper. I went for another survey / focus group today for Canon, and got paid $70 for 2 hours of talking. But it was so tiring for me i don't think i want to go out or do these surveys anymore.
Bria is now 36 weeks old.. 4 more weeks to go!! I am getting so lethargic these days.. Want to rest at home, but at the same time, feel so bored! The mind is strong, but the body is weak.. Sigh..i guess i just have to bear with another 4 weeks of waiting in anticipation.. = )
