Waiting for bunny boy at week 37

Poof! This blog is dusty! we turn 37 weeks last Monday and there is nothing else on my mind (and other people who see me LOL) except baby baby baby. When is the baby coming? Is it a he or a she? What are the proposed names? Are you going to use that expensive XOXO baby formula or what? Have you started your leave?

It's great to be resting at home now, altho i still have some food cravings to fulfill and last minute mothercare shopping. The feeling is: Very heavy at the moment as Bunny Boy has reached 3.2kgs! Oh my what did he eat? It's purely genetic of course; definitely not the food because when i compare to other moms to be i actually am an average eater with very little rice intake. I have gained about 12kgs so far.

I have been reading/googling/getting a lot of tips from young mums as how to manage life as a mum. Really cant wait to cuddle this little one ..the clock is really ticking for us..am praying to have a safe delivery and bring bunny boy safely and happily into this world. I am really not sure when he is ready to come out from his comfy cocoon; doc says it could be anytime! Bunny boy please dont be scared ok, it will be AN experience both for you and i !
We have already decided on a simple name for him, and insyaAllah i want to name him straight away. We have been calling him with his name in utero; and i am sure he knows it by ear and heart now :p

As for my baby's first feed, i'd like to really give a go at breastfeeding. Have read a lot about it; the first few days may be tough. But i will try somehow ..that is why i dont want to even think about any formula milk as a replacement, unless necessary. But then in the event i have to, the shops are just 5 minutes away from home so there really isnt much to worry about .
As to my diet after birth, my mother will take care of it and we are going to combine many types of soups with adequate milk , yogurt, fruits and vegetable that can help me regain strength for breastfeeding.

ok cant wait cant wait!
