Earlier Due Date!

Last Sunday, sandbox and I went for our monthly ultra sound scan.
The doctor measured Baby's head and commented the size was 36 week. Estimated fetal weight was already 2.8kg.  The space for Baby to move around was limited and Baby's position was getting quite low.
In conclusion, the EDD was pushed forward to 2 June 2012!
According to the doctor, 2.8kg is a matured baby weight, which means I can go for delivery anytime if contraction starts.

Week: 34 (gestational age) & 36 (ultra-sound age)
Estimated Fetal Weight (EFW): 2.8kg

Till date, I have gained 10kg from 55kg to 65kg. My hemoglobin level has increased to 10.8, although still below the minimum normal range of 11, but it is the highest record throughout my pregnancy.
I have started to drink raspberry tea since Week 33, around 1 to 2 cups per week. Will slowly increase the frequency when getting nearer to the EDD.

Mum in-law has made 2 bed sheets, 4 bolster cases, 2 pillow cases and 2 trousers for Baby. She is really good in tailoring. She also bought a magazine on confinement recipes, as she will be cooking for me during my confinement.

Well, the clock is ticking. Feeling anxious and excited with sandbox. I started to pack my hospital bag 2 weeks ago. All the best!
