17 Mar 8am is D-day

Finally, I receive the call from my Gynae's clinic. They have confirmed the date & time for the C-section. Next Friday, 17 March, at 8am. I'll be cut open and out will come Valerie Tan. I have to be in the hospital by 6am.... Arghhhh.... hope we can wake up... in fact, a friend mentioned that we most probably won't be able to sleep the night before.

I think Paul won't be able to sleep for the next few days. We were in kinda of a panic last night. Had some pain in my stomach....kind of felt like contractions.... but I wasn't sure.... cos I felt like doing "big" business too. And just before we went to bed, the pain came again, twice. Paul hurriedly pack the emergency labour bag on the spot!! Hahahahha.... was worried that I might go into labour.

Valerie will have less than 2 weeks to do her miracle and turn head down. But also, another worry we have is she might decide to arrive (means I'll be going into labour) before the scheduled C-section and not turn her head down either. Then... I'll be going into emergency C-section (which the doc said, is usually riskier than a scheduled one) One of the risk is having a prolapse cord. It means that the umbilical cord will be falling out before the baby.

All I can do from now till the D-day is to relax... and wait. That's the worst part, waiting... I'm definitely going to go out and get my mind off all this drama.

Do kindly keep us in your prayers.... that GOD will protect Valerie and give us the strength to be patient and have faith that GOD has everything well planned. We just need the faith to surrender this drama to Him.
