Today, I went for a follow-up check at the Gastroenterologist's office. After checking my tummy, the doctor finally gave me the green light to start eating food on a normal diet again. He has also given me the clearance to eat confinement food BUT to start off with just a few spoonfuls of anything that has alcohol in it. As soon as my stools are firm again, it is a sign that my intestines have fully healed. So I am to continue going slow on food.

Welcome Baby C
Baby C at a few minutes old in the OT.Here's Baby C. She's born weighing in at 2.75kg via c-section. She's the smallest of my 3 gals as both Alycia and Sherilyn weighed more than 3kg. Anyway, she's healthy and thank God, she did pee after birth. An ultrasound scan of her kidneys was done and it showed that the right kidney is still slightly dilated. The paed wasn't too worried about it and told us that it will most likely resolve by itself. Another ultrasound scan is to be done in 4 months' time.
Ok, that's about it. Things are quite a havoc back home. Not easy having 2 toddlers and 1 newborn baby. Stay tuned for more updates and pix...

The Big Day Has Arrived!
In slightly more than 12 hours, I will get to meet my angel. Time really flies. I am really anxious, scared, excited and nervous. I've not been sleeping well for the past 2 nights and it's worse tonight. I am so anxious that even at 12:30am now, I don't feel a tad sleepy.
I still remember vividly the day I did a home pregnancy test and almost blacked out when I thought I saw 2 blue lines on the pregnancy kit window. I looked at the kit again and my eyes seemed to be playing tricks with my vision.... it's like now I see the 2 lines, now I only see 1 line and then after moving it back and forth and looking at it at a different angle, I see the 2 lines again. 10 minutes later, I felt I couldn't breath when I read the instructions again which confirmed my suspicion. The 2 blue lines appeared even bluer than ever 15 minutes later. I felt like I have been hit by a trailer on the highway. Anyway, that's history. Today will be the birth of my 3rd angel and I will love her with all my heart and soul. From what I thought that I will never ever be able to hold my own baby 5 years ago, now I am a mother of 2 beautiful girls and another one arriving in just hours away.
Wish me luck for a pain free, fright free and stress free c-section. Most importantly, please pray that my baby will be healthy and wholesome from head to toe, internally and externally and beautiful in every way.
Do wait for my next post on my birth story!
