Divine message


11 more days to EDD. Would Tyler decide to pop earlier? Da man has constantly been praying for signs to let us know when I will pop. How? I often wondered.
I had fake contraction last weekend, Braxton Hicks. It was an eventful Sat night where both of us started counting the intervals between contractions to gauge if I needed to be admitted. It turned out to be a false alarm. At least now we are more prepared should the real "Thing" begins.
The supposedly 2nd last visit to the Gynae today at 2pm. Lo and behold, Dr Wong had an emergency C-sect and we had to wait for 1hr instead. While we were having tea at Delifrance, I felt a sudden gush but decided to ignore it thinking it might be a false alarm again. As we walked to the clinc, I realised I stained my dress. It was blood red. Why was I bleeding?
Went up to the clinic and so coincidentally, it was my turn. I didn't have time to clean up. Upon hearing that I stained my dress, Dr Wong exclaimed it might just be "The Show".  2cm dilated and muscus plug out.....it could be anytime these couple of days. There goes my Shangri-la The Line buffet with the team.
"Shall we go home and rest?" Da man asked gently. I shoke my head, " I need to go back to the office and settle my work first." Work- the only thing I cant let go during times like this.
God is good. If the Gynae didn't have an emergency C-sect, I would have left the clinic before "The Show" of muscus plug and brushed the bleeding as a result of the swipe test performed by the gynae. However, the delay resulted in us knowing I will pop anytime from today, latest National Day.
We have time to prepare but one can never be totally prepared.
Tyler: Soon my love, soon...
