Week 36

Dear Princess,

Aha! Notice the "princess"? Mummy found out you were a girl last week, wuhoo! More shopping for you. You'll be the best dressed baby on the block. Mummy has had a blast over the last couple of days looking for pink stuff for you to wear during your arrival.

Your Grandma came over on Saturday and took most of your 'first-few-days' clothes as well as your bassinet covers for washing. By Sunday lunch time they were back with me. It was so sweet of your grandmama to do your laundry. I will always be in her debt. Unfortunately, I found out your grandmama and grandpa wont be here to celebrate your first Christmas so we will be doing other arrangements instead of the traditional lunch at your grandparents house. Although mummy was quite upset to hear the news, I guess we can't be too selfish, can we? I guess its no big deal that they won't be around for your first x'mas. Its not that important, as if you'll even know what the big hoo-hah holiday is about anyways.

And so, thanks to your Grandma, mummy has finally packed your hospital box consisting of most of the things you'll need during our stay at the hospital and I have also prepared your arrival bag consisting of a towel for the nurses to wipe you down, your suit, a pamper, mittens and hat the nurses will put on you after you pop out and a swaddle blanket so you'll feel nice and warm. Mummy's hospital bag is almost complete. Again your Grandma was so nice to help mummy and bought maternity pads as well as disposable panties for mummy. She also washed mummy's new nighties and gave mummy two sarongs to use in the hospital. Now mummy just needs to buy the odd toiletries and a nursing bra and i'll be set!

You'll be able to feel a change in mummy's daily routine next week as I will be taking my maternity leave starting the 15th November. Then, hopefully mummy will be able to finish up on your room. It's okay kan sayang if its not ready by the time you arrive. You'll be sleeping in mummy's room anyways for the first month.

Anyhoo munchkin, Mummy has to go work dulu. Enjoy yourself in there coz I'll be seeing you soon! Love you!
