Raising Girls: One more month to go?

Just visited Dr Chan on Mon and she had advised me that baby may arrive earlier in one month's time. Seriously, both Iain and I had lost count of the number of weeks I'm in...think it was 30 or 32. So when Dr Chan said baby could be due in 38 weeks (just like Eliza), I gasped. So I'm already in 34 weeks and Jan is just next month!

Other than feeling the heaviness and muscle cramps, I feel fine.Really glad that my back problem could be managed by scheduled bed rest every afternoon.

With about a month's more to the BIG day, I started to have mixed feelings - some apprehension, some excitement. I'm excited to see baby 2 (yes, she still doesn't have a name now) but I wonder how that will change my relationship with Eliza...I enjoy showering all my attention on her and curling up in bed together at night but I know it would be tough next time...I think she would feel apprehensive too, of losing her sole position of being the "baby" in the house. There are days when she sayang my tummy and says "mei mei".There are also days when she tells me "I don't want mei mei..."

I do hope in the coming weeks, I could spend as much quality time with her as possible and prepare her for the arrival of her little sis and playmate.
