Meal, Poo Poo and Pee Pee
The strengths of Lucas are: drinking milk, poo poo and pee pee. It is very rational, he eats much, and then he poo and pee much.
More than a week after the birth of Lucas, I enjoyed the time with him especially the breast feeding moment, it is joyful to have a close connection between me and him. Although it's hard to breast-feed him in the first few days, now is much better.
Thanks god that I have a helpful domestic maid who helps me to do all the laundary, that's why now I have time to type this piece of diary. You know, being a stay-home mom is a 24x7 work without any annual leave, you should have wit and intelligence to stand any situation (e.g. some babies love to play their poo poo)*. I don't think I've the guts to be a full-time mom...
So far I haven't tried to change his diaper totally by myself, let alone those dirty diapers which meshed with poo poo, maybe I should try some days.
*We rushed to change the diaper when I typed this entry at that point.

Feeding him
We are getting on the right track today, Lucas gets the schedule of diapers change and meals. 3.5 hours a meal (breast feeding), and 8 diapers changed a day.
He had a bath today, thanks to Daphne for her demonstration. We video-recorded the whole process.

Hello pals, I'm back, with a new born life!!
Wow, have received so many blessings from you guys, thanks a lot!!
My little angel, Lucas was born on May 21, weight 7.8 pounds, significantly different from the expected weight my doc estimated.
I've experienced the most difficult moment in my life, not during the delivery (actually it is less painful than I expected), but after the delivery, luckily I could overcome it. Even though I had to go through two operations after giving birth, when I look at Lucas, I still believe I am a lucky girl, and I will have more courage and confident to face any difficulties ahead.
Gosh, I am desperated to wash my hair......

Nothing happened at all
I give up. I don't expect you to come before the due date, but please, don't stay in my tummy forever, my belly can't be stretched infinitely, okay?
BTW, I want to go back to work next week, I don't want to stay at home and suffer from all weird and negative thoughts in my mind.

Sigh... Lucas has yet to come
No sign that Lucas will come in the coming hours....
Sigh... forget it, I don't bother to worry when he will come, he can come whatever he want, just please don't be overdue for 2 weeks......
Ahhhhhh....

Well.... I am still a mother-to-be
Lucas still refuses to come out, maybe my tummy is too comfortable.
To have a better preparation for my labor and delivery, I plan to practise prenatal yoga for 1 hour and go for walk at least 20 minutes everyday. All experienced mothers tells me exercise is very important.
Luckily, I feel that my baby is descending its position, it means that he is also working hard to prepare the birth.
Interesting, my leg cramp relieved a lot after I started my maternity leave, thanks to all stretching I had done in my yoga practice.
Jeff said he had strong intuition I will give birth this Saturday. Let see!~~

Only 9 days to go
Well, only 9 days before the due date, but still have no hint when it will come out. I start to worry if my baby will be overdue... Jesus, I really hate this kind of feeling... Waiting is the most painful stage... Just like you stay at home all night and waiting for a phone call from somebody you fancy.
I feel extremely tired these few days, this morning I didn't get up until 11 am, after my mom phoned me and asked me how come I don't go out to do some exercise... come on, I don't go out for walk is simply because I am tired. The key point of doing exercise for mother-to-be is not to force yourself and listen to your body, isn't it???
I can't deny that I am impatient to almost everything recently, one thing is about my hair. As I couldn't have any hair straightening in the past 9 months, my hair is so curly and uncontrollable now. If I don't tie it into a ponytail, each hair will crawl to various direction and makes me look like a lion. How come I have hard, curly and thick hair at the same time???

What to do over this week?
To draw my attention from the anxiety of giving birth, Jeff suggested me to set a to-do list for this week. Alright, let's start it:
May 15 (Mon)
May 15 (Mon)
- Write blogs (done)
- Practice yoga (not yet, I was too tired, or too lazy)
- Go out for walk (ditto)
- To check my virtual amusement park in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 (I used 'sandbox' mode this time and I have unlimited budget to build my wonderland, it's now having more than 10 attractions, a pool complex, lots of gardens and toilets, the number of visitors now reaches 2000.)
- Read books (am reading the Princess Diaries 7th vol., almost half. Thanks to the 'nesting instinct', I have prepared another Meg Cabot's book - Size 12 is not fat in case I would finish the former one before my delivery, I still have some amusing to read while I am in hospital.
- Read magazine (to keep myself abreast to the fashion trend, being a mother-to-be or a mother is not an excuse to be out-dated or old fashion.)
Alright, let's think about what should do in the coming days tonight. You are also welcome to give me any suggestion, thanks!!!!!
Watermelon
Am approaching 39th week, my tummy is as huge as a watermelon.
The closer I approach the due date, the more I feel exhausted and fatigue.
Last night I didn't a have good sleep and had stomachache around 5am. I woke up at 6:30am and fell asleep again at 7:30am. We had already switched on the air con, my body was still like a heater though. The 2nd work up was on 11:30am.
After a cup of yogurt, I feel a bit better now, at least I have energy to crawl to the working table and type this piece of diary.
How are you all guys?

He is still in my tummy
Sigh... I supposed I would be a new mother in this Mother's Day, but he is still staying in my tummy right now.
I feel a bit frustrated and perplexing in these few days. My palms sweat when I thought what about Lucas would come out in the next 24 hours... What I will experience?? Where would Jeff be?? Would I totally freak out?? I cried several times because I was scared.
Samantha sent me a sweet SMS today, she dreamt Lucas is born and can even say hi to her. She also said Lucas is a beautiful baby with a pair of big eyes.
My dearest Prince, when will you come out?

A very useful website for mothers-to-be
I highly recommend mothers-to-be to visit the website Pregnancy Weekly:
http://www.pregnancyweekly.com/mystartpage.asp
This website provides you comprehensive and reliable information about maternity. Once you create your account (which is free of charge), you can personalize the website (what you need to do is just to type in your due date) and get the information which is totally suitable for you by weekly.
For example, now I am in my 38th week, the pregnancy tip I get for this week is about the exercise which helps me to ease the delivery.
I love internet, which bring convenience to our lives!!!

Contradiction
People always have complicated feeling.
Like me, I am still expecting my baby, I do hope he will come out soon, but at the same time, I really miss the freedom now I am enjoying. Once Lucas is born, I should be fully engaged to him.
Sometimes when I observe other mothers, I find many mothers are neurotic, sensitive and long-tongue. Every single moment they just focus on the little devil and keep asking them to eat, to behave well, etc, etc. Other groups of mothers are motionless, even their kids mess up the public area or scream endlessly, they don't move any strand of their hair.
I don't want to be any group of them, I just want to be normal.

Nesting Instinct
According to the book 'What to expect when you are expecting', some pregnant women will have the 'nesting instinct' right before the birth. Same as some animals, they will try to collect lots of things to prepare the arrival of babies.
It seems happening on me!!! Everyday I worried that the stuff will be 'out of stock' and I have an urge to go out and buy, such as baby's things, my skin care and body care products, books for these two months, notebooks, stationary, etc, etc.
I have hundreds of books at home but I still feel they are not enough for me (or I think I won't read most of them because I have no interest), I want to go to book store for those newly released hottest books today.
Ironically, I should wisely use the time to read books about parenthood, but now I am reading the 7th vol. of 'The Princess Diary'.... It is because I will cry when I read those books about how to take care of babies... I don't know why, maybe I am too nervous to face the tremendous change ahead.
Anyway, just had another check up this morning, I gained 0.1 kg in this week, but doc said my baby grew up a lot and now is big enough. She estimates he weights about 6 pounds now, and she hopes I could give birth in these 2 weeks!!!! I can see the joy on her face.

Poor hubby
People may know that pregnant women always have mood swings due to the hormonal changes. However, not everyone knows that their husbands also pass through some psychological fluctuation, which may also be caused by the same reason.
Jeff is getting nervous in these few weeks, because he should face several changes at the same time: the impending fatherhood, the new projects of his work, and his company is moving to a new office.
One single event is okay, but the three adding up is really something.
Poor him, this morning he drank a half bottle of stale milk...
Jeff, don't worry, everything will go smooth!!

Maternity Leave
Hurray!! My maternity leave has just started.
Yesterday was my last working day before the leave, I was extremely busy and couldn't have a nice chat with Samantha before I left. I finished all my work at 8:00pm. However, I believe people will email or call me to follow up the projects in the next few weeks.
Just remember that I have not set my 'away message' in email.
Jelly was so nice, he treated me a great lunch in Yacht Club! We shook hands before he was off his work. My teammates sent me blessing and said they expected me to come back and work with them for another project.
My client sent me an amusing email with lots of blessing, he asked me to give him a progress report from time to time.
I didn't have any holiday mood until I woke up this morning. Seem I just realize that I am entitled for 10 weeks of leave!!!
Thanks all my friends in the company
Samantha, please take care of my little plant.

How do you look?
A mixture of curiosity, excitement and anxiety increases from time to time. My baby will come out within a month!!! I believe that after the delivery, nothing can scare me off.
Lucas, how do you look? I guess you look like 'Mini Jeffrey'.
Jeff and I prepared a very lovely and cozy room for Lucas. Our maid will come this Wednesday. Everything is almost prepared. What I should do is to tune my emotion and thought, to maintain myself in good mood.
I imagine that right after my delivery, I will send out a new diary to inform you all...if possible!!! =)
