I am pretty surprised! My sister-in-law just got back from the hospital - having her womb's condition checked. Surprisingly, there was no opening although the water broke and she had got flex since yesterday. She then headed back home.
I begin to wonder now how about my case? I didn't feel hurt. Is it because I broke the curse of Eve? hehehe ;)

It's coming any time
My sister-in-law is now in hospital too. The water has started to leak since this morning and she has got the flex starting from last night. Baby "Joshua Alexander Kurniadi" will be born sometime today, I suppose.
Wow! I guess "Charlene Avery Kurnianto" doesn't want to be left alone. Just now, I started to have the flex. I called the doctor and asked his opinion of whether I should go to the hospital now or wait for stronger contraction to come. He was about to do the operation. Lucky me! I still had a chance to consult him. "It's about time", he said. "Once the contraction is going on every 10 minutes, go to the hospital and I'll see you there".
Just to make sure my condition is just perfect for the labor, I try my best to stand - I dried my hair standing, ironing the baby's clothes, etc.
Of course, to prepare myself better, I also re-read the pregnancy books I have been reading lately.
I took a notebook and a pen to keep track of the contractions going on.

Approaching the due date
Oh...I started to have a sense that the baby is coming out pretty soon.
This morning as I walked up Kauman Street with my mom and dad, I could feel the baby was pushing down and it started to hurt.
I got back home, Daniel was still sleeping. I crawled the bed and pulled the blanket - not to wake him up, I positioned my body to the left so the baby's feet wouldn't hurt my upper right ribs.
It worked out very well.
I, however, still felt the stomachache experience - as people say, that could be the sign of the first phase of contractions.
Minutes later, Daniel woke up and I told him to get ready to welcome the baby in days ;)
He was extremely excited. After taking a bath, the three of us (with the baby, for sure!) prayed together and he whispered to my stomach telling our little one that today was the 29th.
We have been telling our baby today's date so *she* (as the doctor says) keeps track of the dates. Funny, huh???
Every morning, our routine is to read her Biblical verses. I sometime feel that when she hasn't heard any of those, she is sad.... I find it interesting and comforting to know that she grows spiritually too ;)

My last day
January 25th, 2008 is my last day before my maternity leave starts on campus. I took the change to say "see you later" to some colleagues and friends.
Tomorrow is a new beginning.
Hopefully, I will be able to start the pregnancy class next week. At least, one class will help.
Wish me luck....

Terribly sleepy
This afternoon, I felt terribly sleepy. I sent a chatting message to Daniel if it was OK with him to nap. He strongly disapproved that idea.
I was a little bit upset (for sure!). We argued for quite some time, but still he held fast to his thought. He thought sleeping wouldn't ease my labor. I should have exercised more instead. Walking is what he recommends best (as some books do too).
Oh... I envy to other pregnancy women who could enjoy their pampering themselves with spas, massages, napping, etc during their third semester, especially approaching their due-date.
I, myself, still work on correcting students' thesis, doing laundry (our baby's clothes), etc.
To be honest, ever since I got pregnant, I only napped for more or less 5 times. (well..this might not be the exact number, but trust me...my fingers can still accommodate the frequency of my nap)
I do understand though that when he told me to exercise, he wanted it for my own good.
I just feel really exhausted now. My body is getting heavier to carry, I hardly sleep well especially at night and my back starts to hurt.
What I want is to rest just for a while........
