Raeanne's arriving soon!

My dearest lil' one,

Just as mummy was getting used to the idea that you'll be arriving early at end of June (as Dr Tan suggested during mummy's last visit), Dr Tan gave us another big surprise during yesterday's check up. He said that my lil' Raeanne is probably going to arrive this week instead!!! Mummy was so shocked that I exclaimed loudly "this week?!"... Come to think of it, that was quite embarrassing..

Well, it isn't that mummy don't want you to arrive so early. In fact, I can't wait to cuddle you in my arms and hold you close to me! (You have no idea how envious I always feel when I see other mummies holding their lil' ones so close to them!) Just that I wasn't mentally prepared for you to arrive so soon..

Though the initial shock has passed, mummy is still a bundle of nerves! Everytime I feel a slight cramp, I'll be thinking "Is this it?".. I feel like a walking time bomb.. Wondering when the big moment will arrive.. And when it does, what will it be like! Somehow, at this moment, whatever that I've read in the pregnancy mags doesn't soothe my nerves at all...

Dr Tan has instructed mummy to go to the labour ward this sat at 9am.. Think he predicts that you'll be arriving then.. My dearest lil' princess, can you hold on till this sat? Cos at least i can be very sure that daddy will be with me when you arrive.. and not while mummy is at work or worse still, in the mrt/taxi!

After a nerve-wrecking day, at least mummy came home to a very pleasant surprise! See the beautiful photo above? The pair of mittens and booties, plus the beautiful pendant is from Aunty Mun Yee! Everything knitted and hand-made by her and flown in from the US just for you, my lil' darling! =) Isn't it beautiful? And the pendant has your name on it! Mummy will thank Aunty Mun Yee on your behalf first.. When she comes back from the US, you be sure to give her a big sloppy kiss to thank her for it k? =)

Well, this could possibly be mummy's last entry before your arrival.. And mummy just want to let you know, I love you..
