When I received my weekly pregnancy update today, I felt a bit panicky. Why?! Realizing that I have more or less only 12 weeks left and everything will be totally different. Of course, I am very very excited to see our darling princess but after visiting Tes yesterday and she elaborately told me her 3 day “laborous” experience I felt a bit apprehensive about what’s ahead. I totally totally wish I am lucky enough to be like Kylie who just had a 2 hour labour!!! She was regular with her prenatal yoga so I am ensuring that I do the same. It might help make the delivery less traumatic as Tes decribed.

Of course from the very beginning I knew what I am getting myself into. I’ve heard lotsa stories - good and bad - about these things. I’ve always had a good deep threshold for pain and have always been the type to grab the bull by the horns eventhough I am as scared as a mouse deep inside. I think the best way for me is to just do what I normally do in situations like these: Leave it up to God. I will do what I can but trust Him in making this experience a wonderful one for all of us involved - baby, hubby and of course, me

Aside from these, there are still so much things that we need to decide on that until now, we are still putting off when really we have been thinking and juggling it in our heads from almost day 1! They are:

1. Our baby’s name: We decided on the first name but we want to compliment it with another one. Well, it was all good until I discovered that the second name was already used by someone in the berks. So the search is still on…
2. Stroller: For some reason, even before we even thought of which crib, we were already looking around for the perfect stroller. Every time we are at the mall, I check out the strollers or mallers there. This is aside from those on display in baby shops of course. We want something light so that I can deal with it on my own. It should be easy to fold & unfold. I don’t need some rocket science knowledge to just get that thing into the car while I have baby in arms or in the car seat. It should be durable of course. It shouldn’t have wheels big enough for a bicycle. The seat should be allow for flat horizontal angle so that baby can comfortably sleep in it. It should also have a good spacious basket underneath so that baby things can be neatly kept there and not hanging everywhere. Also, it shouldn’t be exorbitantly expensive like a Bugaboo stroller. It starts at AED4,000!!! Well, it is a top of the line stroller… so this is definitely not surprising.
3. Godparents: For Ariel & I choosing a godparent is no easy thing. We want whoever we choose to be someone we can actually trust with our baby’s well-being: be it mind, body and spirituality. I don’t just want to list names for the sake of calling them so. Of course, GOD FORBID, if anything happens to us our child will be left in the care of our family or a godparent. Also, I don’t want my baby to grow up without knowing a godparent like I did and not being able to enjoy Christmas just like other kids.

The rest are quite easy, it’s these 3 main things that we find ourselves so indecisive that whenever we try to start talking about it we end up in a dead end and stop discussing it altogether.

Anyway…. I’m sure everything will just fall into place. I just hope in much earlier time than when baby’s arrival is just around the corner.

I still can’t believe I only have 12 weeks or less left!!!!
