Is it time?

Even when expecting my 2nd child, I have difficulty recognising the signs of labour. Yesterday early morning, I thought my water broke. "Today is the day!" I packed my bag and was prepared to admit to the hospital. However, I didnt head for the hospital first but to the clinic for confirmation only to be told that the baby is not ready yet. My gynae's last advice was to admit myself on the 8th Dec whether there is any sign or not. It reminds me of my experience with Jerilyn. I was also told to admit myself the next day and that night, I had contractions. Will it be the same this time?

Only few days back, my sister commented that maybe I will only deliver on my wedding day. I checked the calendar and 8th Dec coincides with my wedding day according to the lunar calendar. Will it be 1 day late again this time?

Jerilyn's Habits, Likes & Dislikes

1. Likes tugging herself under the pillow or sticks her legs into a pillowcase when she sleeps.
2. Will climb up the bed with her pillow and force herself between us in the middle of the night. However, she doesnt sleep parallel with us but forms a "H" shape, which leaves us sleeping at the edge of the bed.
3. Takes any sweet, (a bit) spicy, cold or crunchy food but not in chunks, which makes her vomit. Dislikes eggs and hot food.
4. Dislikes being carried down the stairs.
5. Doesnt want assistance in building something n destroy whatever you build for her. THE DESTROYER.
6. Doesnt leave the playground once she is there. She screams and cries 'til daddy has to scoop her off the ground and be a laughing stock to the people around. She loves the slides. Ever ready to let go off her hands when we put her up.
7. Can walk slowly but steadily when I mop the floor but can be very clumsy when the floor is dry.
8. Putting back her toys most of the time. If she doesnt replaces the things, she has nothing to remove.
9. Words she use most are: 'No more', 'Oh Oh!', 'NO', 'Please', 'Good', 'Boom' and of course 'Mummy', 'Daddy', 'Po2', 'Gong', 'Ah Ma'8:00 PM | Add a comment | Permalink | Blog it

Jerilyn sees the light

Jerilyn has been playing with blocks for months but only recently she seems to understand the rule of the game. She used to just use all her might to push the shapes into the holes but now, she can identify the shapes for each hole. Not only that. She also play stacko and remove 1 by 1 like an adult. I feel that the cause of this sudden development is because she saw how her cousins play with mahjong: stacking them into pyramids and other shapes. When she comes homes, she does the same with everything, from her toy blocks to my dad's tins.
