Still counting down

Just went to the gynae over the weekend and my baby is still not engaged yet. Guess it's still a waiting game for now! I put on a little bit more weight but based on estimation, this little one is probably not as big as Kendrick was. Maybe just a little over 3kg perhaps? Nevertheless, what's more important is that he is still healthy. In a way, now I'm asking little Matthew to give me at least another week before he decides to make his appearance! The reason being, big brother Kendrick is not well again :(

Sigh, my poor little Kendrick darling fell sick again on Friday. Luckily I happened to be on leave so I could take care of him somewhat. He started to have mild fever that morning and was on fever medicine the whole day. His cough also worsened. Strangely, he was fine that day. But on Saturday, things took a turn. His fever suddenly shot up from the afternoon to more than 38.5 degrees. We continued to feed him fever medicine and his other cough mixtures prescribed by the doctor. It really felt so sad to see him so weak again :( This really make me wonder whether I should consider sending him to TCM after he is well to get him stronger??

On Sunday, Kendrick also threw up twice. I guess mainly due to the phlegm that was stuck in his throat causing him to cough a lot. Plus the sickness probably took a toll on his tummy and appetite. With him like that, how do I feel ready to go off to the hospital to deliver? So that's why I can only pray that God will quickly heal Kendrick and perhaps Matthew could wait a bit more? I do see very subtle signs of labour impending...like more frequent bowel movement, slightly more white discharge...perhaps more nesting instincts...haha..oh well, if it happens it happens. Just have to trust in family and God! For now, Mommy and Daddy really pray that Kendrick will get well soon. No doubt he's still quite cheerful and active and so full of hunger to learn, but we really want him to be strong again, not have any more cough and fever!! Get well my son!
