1 John 5:14-15

This is the confidence that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of Him. (",)

Johanan is 37.5 weeks!

We have been to the gynae yesterday. As usual, our boy moved when the scanner was placed on my tummy. My gynae said ' he moved!' so have to scan again.. And added comment that Johanan is very clever..

My weight has been constant and Johanan weighs about 2.9 kg. Will see gynae again on 31 jan.

Can feel his legs poking my rib cage more frequently and forcefully!

On certain days, he will move about 40 to 50 times, with an interval of 30 seconds between each movement. Wonder what is he doing inside me?

Might have to induce labour if baby's weight increases and no increase in my weight and water bag level is lower on my next visit.

Counting down to baby's arrival..in the meantime, will continue to monitor his movements, and look out for signs of contractions and so on.

Will have more time to make preparations for his arrival as I will be on maternity leave starting 28 jan and back at work on 20 may.

Have packed the hospital bag and baby cot is already set up.My mother in law have already washed Johanan's clothes that my mum and friends have blessed us with.

I have to admit that even before he is born, he is already having alot of clothes and baby wear like bath towels, blankets, mittens, booties, pillows and so on!

Johanan is 35 weeks!

We just came back from the gynae's clinic. Johanan is now 2.6 kg. He have gained 0.1 kg over the past 3 weeks. My weight is under control.. Yeah..

His head did not turn back into breech position, and the size of his head is abit big. We have not been able to see his face as his face is facing down. Come to think of it, the last time we saw his face is when he was about 16 weeks old.

The little boy have been moving alot more frequently now. He will move when something is placed on my belly, anything with weight like the ultra scanner the gynae uses.

We will be seeing the gynae on 24 jan, and we are expecting Johanan's arrival anytime after that.His daddy estimated he will arrive during the last week of january or first week of feb which dr also agree.

I believe Johanan is born on 5 feb.. Hehe.. I like the number 5 and i am born on 5th day of the month! Haha!

Got the excitement!

Can gradually feel the excitement of being a mummy real soon last sunday,28 dec when we went to Baby Hypermart super store to look around for baby stroller.

Set our eyes on Quinny buzz at the moment, and will explore other brands like Aprica and Combi later.

My parents are more excited than us as they have bought glass bottles, bath towel wrap, hat, mittens and booties etc for the little boy.

I took out the baby carrier that a sister in Christ has blessed us with and its fun exploring the chair hehe.. It can recline and can be a rocker..

And today i started my first course of premium birds nest intake that miss chan and miss kwek has bought for my birthday present.Listening to miss chan's advice of taking the birds nest everyday instead of once a week.

It struck me that Johanan is arriving in 4 weeks time when Caleb wanted to put the rocker on the sofa in the living room and getting my mother in law to start washing baby's clothes.

She insisted must use Kodomo' baby laundry detergent for baby.

At the supermarket, i saw 3 prices for baby laundry detergent, $11 plus, $13 plus and $17.80 for 3 different brands.

My heart ached at how expensive the kodomo laundry detergent is and wanted to get the cheapest one at $11 plus and was contemplating to get the inhouse baby laundry detergent!

I grabbed kodomo's laundry detergent after hearing the Lord's spoke to me this :'You have always wanted and get the best things in life that I have given you generously all these years.Why are you so stingy towards your own son?'

Short snippets of my extravagant spending on myself flashed across my mind and my mind is renewed. I want the best and give my son just like what God wanted and have been giving me.
