D-Date moved to 12th January 2015

We went for our routine check-up on 2nd January and relieved to hear the babies heart-beats again. Felin was asked to do an ultrasound for her legs because Dr Su afraid of Deep Veins Thrombosis not only before birth but after birth as well. Felin's legs are quite swollen with her calves at 38cm and she is limping due to her painful left calf. Her calves are not thicker than mine which is at 35cm.

We met the financial counsellor about our delivery date and ward choice. We asked for 10th January (Saturday) and found out that 10th January delivery will be about $4k more than a normal weekday delivery because we need to get many people to come back work for us on a weekend. We were also advised that manpower is better on weekdays than weekend and if emergency is needed, there will be more people to help.

We asked for 9th January but Dr Su's appointment are all full on 9th Jan. We prefer not to go for 8th January because we want the babies to be at least 38 weeks full. Eventually we opted for 12th January operation. We have to go for C-Sect because Josiah is in Breech position and Joshua is above him. This combination make it too dangerous for natural birth.

We are just 8 days for them to arrive and God is good that he allows me to complete whatever work I need to do and let me clinched a few more sales before the babies arrive. If they are to come on 5th January (The original Date we thought to be the D-Date), I will be caught unprepared for sure.

Over the past few days, I am again arranging everything in the babies' room and trying to throw all the useless stuffs in the house. The curtain man also came to measure our balcony to prepare the installation of outdoor roller blind on 20th January. I also went parents place to throw all my old books and files so as to prepare the room for the babies. They may need to go parent's place on some of the days and after Felin gets back to work. We also went to the nearby maid agency to check out on the Philippine maid packages. Felin interviewed one on Saturday and will interview 2 more next week. We need to settle on the maid thingy soon.

Felin will be going for a Cardiotocography or CTG scan on 9th January where we can see how much the babies will kick and move in her womb but I will need to miss it because of a half day reservist that I need to go. What a shame that I need to miss it. Anyway I can claim $100+ for the half day reservist and let me earn back some money after spending so much on medical bills lately.

The preparations are getting more intense now but I still have a lot more to go in my workplace. Need God's to give me the wisdom and time management abilities to settle all these within a week.
