Benjac, LBJ & Scubby
Looks like I won’t be delivering today just yet since I am still here. And that leaves me wondering whether it is a good or bad thing, given my previous paranoia if I do.
A little on the heavy side for 36 weeks
Our Little Benjac Junior is now LOA in utero! *phew*
After waiting for “the usual” hour for our turn on Friday, Dr Tan was suddenly whisked away for a delivery. So our 3.30pm became 5.30pm, again. Note of Advice: Anyone who wishes to see a reputable ObGyn has to be prepared to wait, because it seems like the “whole world” is their patients *hint to impatient Fathers-to-be* 
I am a happy camper now since knowing the exact position LBJ is in. He is lying on my left with his head down slightly facing to the back. That explains the kicking on my right all this while! And I thought he was on my right *duh* Turn a little bit to the right and he’ll be fully Anterior!
Somehow by the measurement of his tiny bones and skull, LBJ is now expected 5 days later than his current EDD at 3 March 2010. And he’s supposedly on the heavier side now too, which left me worrying should he gain much more before delivery. I don’t want to be cut opened! *panic*
The longer LBJ stays inside me, the bigger he might become and the harder it would be for me to push him out to this world. He gained 563 grams since the last check-up 12 days ago. By 40th week, he could possibly weigh 4.35kg! *faints*
I think I’m going to start praying for an early arrival now. Please keep me in yours too! *bows*

Gong Xi Fa Cai!
I was wondering throughout the week if you’ve popped or not…Internet access at my hometown is slow, so I didn’t get to go online at all. Don’t worry about LBJ growing bigger; I read from several resources that both mom and baby stop gaining weight in the last few weeks.
Can’t wait for your little one to arrive!

Gong Hei Fatt Choi to you too!
I’m still around waiting… Hopefully he will come soon. How are you coping with your little bundle? Maybe you’ll pop first before me

I pop before you do?! Noooo….! Bub is not even full-term yet and I’m not ready…there are still many things I want to do first. Two of my colleagues who are due in mid-March and end-March just gave birth last weekend; this is really freaking me out *shudders*

Don’t worry too much. But experienced Mommies did say that those who are working, delivery earlier than those that stayed home because you move around more than I do.
I hope LBJ comes soon because I don’t want him to get too heavy. I’m terrified too of becoming a Mom
