All 3 of my check-ups on Friday went swimmingly well. Dr Anu said there's very little we can do now except to continue to pray hard and hope that little bun stays put for as long as he/she can inside my tummy. It is already a huge blessing that we have now passed the crucial 'safety period'... Our aim now is to pray that little bun is born as close to 38 weeks of gestation as possible so as to ensure that little bun will not have any of the health complications of a premature baby. These complications increase the earlier the baby is born, hence little bun really needs to stay 'in' for as long as possible. At this stage on the medical front, we have already done all possible and the rest now lay in the hands of God.

I am trying to do all I can to prolong the pregnancy for as possible by taking all my medication and injections without fail... and also by putting my legs up and lying in bed as much as possible. If I haven't calculated wrongly, I have been on bedrest for 5 coming to 6 weeks already.

Mark still warns me not to place my hopes too high and to continue to keep the faith. It's rather sad cos unlike most soon-to-be parents who would by now have decorated the nursery and bought heaps of new clothings and toys for their new arrival, Mark and I have not bought one single item for little bun. Not a bootie, not a toy. However, I am sure we will make it up to him/her when he/she is born.
