39 Weeks & Going

Chamu has officially completed his 39-week stay inside of Mamu. We went for a check-up on Thursday and the Doc told us again that he is still floating. Now it's Monday morning and we will be going back for a check up to see if he has progressed at all.
Dadu finished cleaning out the maid's room/storage room/ guest room after 3 days of intensive work. I had gone through four boxes of memorabilia from my banker days and reduce them to just one box. All of sudden, those deals/projects which occupied my life (or were my life) didn't seem to matter anymore. The chance of me returning to my former life seems to diminish as my due date comes closer.
We reorganized the guest room and Chamu's stuff. We did two loads of laundry for Chamu with his tiny little newborn clothes. As I was folding away the dry laundry, it still seems so unreal that we are actually going to have a real baby in our arms very soon. We are going to be parents?! We have to find time to take care of a helpless little thing from our currently already very busy life? How is that possible? The biggest doubt I have is about myself because even at this point, I am not sure if I'm really ready to deal with bottles, breast feeding, diapers and a crying baby...
Still no conclusion on how Chamu will be delivered. Our doc is back today and hopefully we will be able to make a decision. We had a 1-on-1 session with a midwife from our ante-natal class which was quite helpful but not enough to make us decide one way or the other. Chamu has been moving quite actively and is using my belly as his treadmill...Belly is tensed up most of time. All signs are indicating we are entering the last stretch...
P.S. one of my best friends just announced her good news, I am so happy for her! Getting pregnant may seem easy from all the celebrity headlines (especially for those under 20) but only those who have been through it at our age understand that having a baby is a true miracle.
