It's Almost Time

Dear Mei-mei,

We brought you to see your doctor again this afternoon. We had to wait a while as she had to dash off to perform an operation just before it was your turn to see her.

Che-che was so good! She waited for your doctor so patiently even when it stretched until quite late.

The doctor says that you are about 2.9 kg (plus or minus 500g!). She thinks that that is a good weight for you to be as if you are any heavier, it'll be difficult for you to come out and it'll be much more painful for Mama.

Mama has been suffering quite a bit lately - she has aches and pains in her leg and back and she also is kept awake by your tumbling around in her tummy. Mama hasn't had proper sleep in quite some time. And the situation is not going to improve when you're out as your body clock will take some time to sync with ours. Oh well ... Sleeplessness and tiredness continue.

We actually are quite stressed during this period as Papa has to attend something that he cannot skip during this time and we're worried that you'll decide to come during that event. :( We're praying that you won't, Lil' One.

We're also wondering when you'll decide to come. It's anytime now. If you grow too big, it'll be very difficult but at the same time, we want to let you decide. Mama has resolved to control her diet severely so she doesn't let you absorb too much refined sugars resulting in you putting on too much weight at this stage. :p It'll be a challenge as Mama likes sweet things. :p

Well, it's all in your hands. Come at a good time, Lil' One.

Papa, Mama and Che-che love you!
