Mama, i'm out of battery....

These pics were taken at about 9.30pm last night during late dinner at a nearby restaurant. He heard hubby asking me whether we still have bread back home or not and fussed when we did not walk across the road to the bread stall. So, hubby took him over to get his raisin bun and he was actually eating the bun when he started nodding off in his highchair.


Nod left......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Nod right......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

We were out practically the whole of yesterday afternoon. Went for my 30th week checkup. From now onwards, checkups will be once fortnightly. Discussed more on VBAC and various anaesthetic options should i opt for caesarean again this time. Dont want spinal, gives me a whopping headache for days on end; renders me practically bed-bound and useless. May opt for epidural this time.

Got a tetanus booster jab today. Also talked about cord blood banking with my Obs. Will decide once i've met with both cord blood banks execs. Still trying to figure out whether going for one that stores the cord blood in multi-compartment bloodbags or in separate cryovials. Lets see what they tell me.

king's wife - no lah, can see already. Backside also feeling damn heavy now..

sue - you'd better go get that on videa when that happens, lol. i have quite a few myself.

helen - i had my hand under his head the whole time he was asllep in his chair. had to eat with one hand only, lol

domesticgoddess - yeah, at the spine, only different location. spinal works fast, epidural works slow, but can be left in place and topped up whenever necessary. may still give me a headache, so, might as well try that. obs says depends on the person who administer it.

zara' mama - one of those rare moments captured in technicolor

lb - next time, u follow your wife into the deliver room, then can kaypoh even more there.
