A waiting game

Was supposed to go for my check-up on Monday but Dr Ang called me to ask if I experienced any cramps. Since I did not have any cramps nor contractions, Dr Ang then told me to go to him today instead.

Had an ultra scan just now and found out that Ilis is about 3 kg now. Dr Ang did a vaginal examination again to determine if I had dilated further. I was waiting anxiously and hoping to hear some good news (further dilation). However, I did not get what I want. Dilation still remained the same and Ilis is still comfortable in my tummy. Frankly, I was kind of disappointed upon hearing the news. I thought I could see Ilis real soon. I guess I should not raise my hopes too high and should just let nature takes its course. Her estimated due date is 5 August, so by right, it is still early for her to be out now.

I just want to say this to Ilis. Ilis, mummy promises you that I will not 'pressure' you again to come out. You determine for yourself when you think you are ready to face the world. So long as you give mummy ample notice, I will make sure you will be out smoothly and in safe hands.
