This was taken 2 days ago after my appointment with the doc. I am indeed getting bigger by the day! JR weighs approx. 2.8kg at this point, the same birth weight Arianna was when she was born! >.< I on the other hand am 90.4kg, lost abt 0.5kg over 2 weeks....belly measurement is abt 104cm.

Things are going along fine, so fine that my next appointment is in 2 weeks time, at 38 weeks and after that, it's just playing that drag of a waiting game! I still can't believe how fast it's been. I guess it's coz I spend a chunk of this time in Kulim and what is 3 months when you're having fun, right? But now, the jitters are slowly creeping in. To be honest, I'm not really afraid of the whole labour/birth thing...in fact, I already know it's going to hurt like hell so I'm not going to think about it. But what is totally freaking me out is the fact that I don't know when it's all going to start.

When asked if I had any other stuff to ask, I did mention that I had been experiencing some pins and needles along my right and it happens every night. Some nights, it gets so bad that it keeps me awake! And the skin on my belly is stretching and by some irritating reason, I've actually got some sort of acne happening on my belly! I really hope that that top acne treatment Tina keeps telling me about works coz honestly, I got no time to pamper myself unless I totally get rid of the kids for the day.

So anyway, at the docs, I asked him about induction and all since the girls were both induced – Arianna coz my waters broke and no action happening after 24hrs and KR was 1 week overdue. I wanted to know if I could schedule an induction even thought I was 40w and guess what….? This is possible!!! *jiggly jigs* I was over the moon to hear this because my last doc refused to even talk about it saying that I had to wait out the additional 1 week so that I’d deliver at 41 weeks or anytime before that. You see, my main fear is going into labour at home and just pretty much freaking out despite being in the comforts of my own home. Like I mentioned in my forum, I don’t feel comfy here coz there is no one with medical knowledge that I can depend on if something goes wrong and I’m not about to even comtemplate the possibility of having JR on the way to the hospital in the car! No thank you, m’am….

After experiencing 2 inductions, just lemme have a third and complete my round of 3 inductions in a row. Waiting on for labour to come on naturally is just absolutely so not what I want even though getting induced isn’t nice at all. I rather just get it over and done with asap rather than wait out the contraction and waiting to dilate….I reckon lots of people must think I’m mad! lol But to heck, once Mum arrives and with me due on 25/10, we are SO prepping for the induction immediately….he’s already 2.8kg at the mo, so even if he came out now, he’d be Arianna’s size and I can live with that!

I know that some people may think I’m nuts wanting to get induced, but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you gotta be in my shoes for you to know what and how I’m feeling to be wanting this in the first place.

Ps. On a happier note, I managed to get my Raspberry Leaf Tea pills online and they arrived today! YAY!!! Another peace of mind….*sighs blissfully*
