Summary of The Journey

My last doctors appointment is on Wednesday the 17th of sept. If baby Chloé isn't out by then,  I'll have to do a sonogram to check her weight and to make sure everything is ok in her comfort zone. Then mayb discuss about been  induced which I'm staying away from. My sister who is a surgeon in Nigeria,  advised me against it. She said been induced should only be brought up if the baby is postterm or if something doesn't seem right. She's my personal doctor.

 FINALLY... I can't believe it's officially O.V.E.R!!! I remember when I registered for prenatal appointments, my appointments  started frm once a month in the first trimester to every two weeks in my second trimester then I upgraded to once every week in my third trimester.

Oh Lordy, the blood works creeped me out the most. I was too terrified that the nurse who drew my blood one time had to spray something cold on my hand before she drew the blood. She Said "we use it for kids and it numbs the spot and you don't feel anything at all" she lied. She took me for a fool. I'm scared of needles doesn't mean I'm dumb.

It's been a really tough, long and embarrassing journey. Most times my OBG asked if the medical students could shadow her. I mean I couldn't say no; I agreed. In other words I was like a specimen in a biology lab. Too many embarrassing moments. Most times, I did not think it was necessary to groom "that area" (TMI) I mean I'm pregnant, the doctors/OBG shouldn't care and are probably used to it.  But when the male medical students have to watch or rather when she tells them to do the work, err, that was a bit embarrassing. Funniest part is when i eventually decide to groom "my area in anticipation,  that's when the doctor/OBG wont need to see whats going on down there.

Now, I don't care anymore and  honestly speaking,  since I got pregnant, I lost all my pride and shame.

My latest research or curiosity is whether or not "that area" is supposed to be groomed in preparation for delivery. Il update you on the results.

4 Days till DUE DATE

I have 4 days left till my due date. Till I eventually meet baby Chloé. The thought of it alone makes me emotional because it still feels hard to believe even though I have eventually accepted.

I still have so much energy with no contractions.  Well, I might be contracting without even knowing according to the doctor. I'm currently waiting for the train to arrive,  I'm heading to brooklyn to run some errands. I mean since I have so much energy might as well take advantage of it. My fear is not to have a severe contraction on the train or my water breaking because that would be hilariously not funny.

Baby Chloé's nursery is ready. Looking at it everyday makes me happy. Can't wait to see her sleep inside her crib. Oh yeh,  and my belly keeps getting bigger as the day goes by. However, I'm still very cautious of what I eat.

The weather in NY has officially changed; it looks gloomy. I was hoping for a summer baby even though some of my friends already nicknamed chloé "winter" I'm a winter baby and I was really hoping my baby wld be born in the summer. Well, middle of summer isn't officially considered fall so I guess she can still be called  a summer baby.

Oh, how on earth would I forget to mention that I did not get the usual pregnant woman logo/syndrome "THE BIG NOSE & SWOLLEN FEET" I want to believe walking alot was a good reason why my feet isn't or never got swollen.  And as for the big nose. I stopped blowing it, instead I used a q - tip to clean it and whenever I took a shower I used a warm towel to massage the nose and pressed it down.  I honestly think it worked "for me."

Few weeks to go

(Drafted this post a while back)

I live by the water and when the sun goes down and I feel like meditating, I take a walk down there to meditate and watch the beautiful nature.

I'm honestly getting bored and I can't wait for my baby's arrival. I stopped working weeks ago, so I'm home most of the time. I spend my time meditating about the baby, how I plan to raise my baby and generally how my life would change with the new addition. Well, asides studying for grad school, cooking, organizing the baby's nursery n Yada yada.

I'm anxious to see what she looks like, who she looks like, which of my features she has, and everything in general. I know it is going to be a very emotional and life changing moment when I see her and when she gets placed on my chest. I honestly cant wait. 

The breastfeeding part is kind of hilarious to me but i cant wait to experience it. They say its a good way to bond with the baby. I honestly cannot wait for this period to be past tense and i'll be reading this post months from now and smile.

In my baby's journal, i wrote her some letters that i refuse to re-read them. I cant wait till she's all grown so I can hand them to her.

9 months pregnant

Totally forgot to post this. 

I was 9 months pregnant on the 27th of Aug.

I have 3 weeks left until mini me comes out and I'm still in denial. Lord help me. I'm actually hyped and anxious to see what and who she looks like. Also I'm assuming the reason I don't believe I'm expecting is because I still don't see or imagine myself been a mom.

I still have so much energy, no contractions, and everything seems to be fine. I already started setting up her nursery which i am a bit excited about. 

I'll keep posting as much as i can so that months later after shes born, I can look back, smile and see the progress i made.

Thanks for reading.
