on another note about our previous scare: b was so worried about getting me to the hospital and to rush me to be admitted that he left me standing on the porch of the hospital! he was going to rush into the lift without me just to get to the labour ward as fast as he could until i called out to him. thankfully the security guard at the hospital noticed me and got me a wheelchair and proceeded to wheel me to b and to the labour ward. guess i perform better in an emergency huh?

so we had a scare last week. i had bleeding and it was NOT spotting. i could feel blood leak out everytime i stood and walked. the funny thing was that i was home the whole of last week because i was just so tired. i was sleeping and resting up and basically just lazing whole days away.
well, i had the presence of mind to first call my doc to let her know that i was bleeding bright red blood and to ask what to do, then i called b to come back immediately to get me to the hospital, then i called my mum. funny huh? the fact that i'm 30 years old and on the verge of becoming a mother, i still turn to my mum when i am absolutely terrified. i guess my two previous miscarriages sprang to mind. i started crying my eyes out to my mum simply because i was so scared that something would happen to my baby so much so that she couldn't understand me. so i had to control myself and explain to her (in between sobs) and she did what i knew she would do - she calmed me down and she started praying. i must admit that that was what i needed and that was the reason i called her. i wasn't sane enough to get the words out to pray so i needed her to do it for me.
then b reached home and we just rushed all the way to the hospital. then i got admitted and my doc came to check on me and baby is fine and healthy.
i basically felt a huge weight leave me the moment i stepped into the hospital. bear in mind i was still shaking on the car ride to the hospital. i sms-ed a few people to ask them to pray for me. i basically wanted to get a prayer chain going. and praise God, everything turned out fine.
my doc couldn't find the cause of my bleeding, which sometimes happen and it is referred to as indeterminate bleeding. she scanned me and did an internal check and everything looked fine. my placenta's in a good place and not prematurely detaching and my cervix was not dilated.
anyhow, i stayed two nights just to be safe. and the cost? RM2000!!!! this is a really expensive baby! but then i'd spend any amount of money to keep him safe.

b and i have been shopping up a storm. and to quote b, "we've never shopped so much in such a short time span since we've gotten married!". it is rather scary i must admit. the amount of money we're spending (this of course includes baby's furniture and additional shelves, etc). and yet if any of you were to come over to our place to see the actual stuff, there's not much to show. ah well, i guess i'll consider these items as investments for the next child. ; )
we literally walk the whole day on shopping days (the weekends. good way to exercise!). i mean i have to check out and compare prices and look out for deals and sales. so, currently my favourite haunts are mothercare, robinson's, tiny tapir and the baby loft. i got most of everything from these places. i am 90% done with baby shopping. i have reserved the last 10% for july because mothercare's having a sale then. every little bit saved, counts!

we went for our usual check-up last week but we didn't manage to get any pictures. first the umbilical cord was in the way. then when baby finally tossed and turned away from the cord, he decided that he still didn't want his picture to be taken by lifting both his arms up and covered his face. hmm.....................
