I was looking at some of my friends family portrait and I felt sooooo heart warming. It's something I can't explain explicitly. I think this is something only mummies/daddies can feel. And no, it doesn't mean that because you're not one, you won't feel that warmth! It's just.... An unexplainable feeling! Haha!

Yes, we're all ready for little lady's arrival! Am hearing diff stories from diff mummies. So what I concluded on my own is: All natural and if possible (I dunno the strength of my willpower), no epidural! I told hus to remind me of constant future back aches and since he is giving me a 1-room stay in a private hospital, I'll save that 1k for him! We'll see how I fare.

My hospital bag is all packed now. Mummies-to-be, just a run down on what I'm bringing:

1) A whole pack of sanitary pads (overnight)

2) 2 packs of disposable undies

3) Baby clothes (I ziplocked them as its cleaner this way and easier to find everything in that ziplock)

4) Marriage cert (to register Leia; saves the hassle of going down to immigration center)

5) Admission letter + IC (I've put them

in a wristlet and placed it at the side pocket for easy removal at the hosp)

6) dry shampoo + dry body wash 

7) breast pump (I'm delivering at TMC and I know lactation nurses are there every morn, so best to bring the pump and bombard them with qns)

8) nipple cream

9) nursing bra 

10) 5-6 pcs of breast pads 

11) going home clothes for yourself

12) shower gel for husband (cw will be staying overnight with me at the hospital since its a 1-bedded so I'm preparing the shower gel for him)

A picture of my bag (I've placed my breast pump in a diff carrier):

Those in white are the breast pads and ziplock with Leia's clothings! :)

I just hope mummyhood will be a good journey for me!
