the longest weekend
Emily’s SLE flared again. Due to the impending fear of complications, we decided to bring forward the delivery date tentatively to 7th June, which means, only a few days away.
And god knows how that little amendment of date had impacted our lives this weekend. Everything seems to be moving at sloth speed. Anxiety attacked, amalgamated with that anti-gravitational feel - it’s like anticipating a blind date at the following hour. Nothing seems to be right. Tried to read, but can’t register a single word. Tried to watch some TV, but they’re always not interesting enough. Tried to blog, but the mind’s too agitated to write.
No words can describe the current state of mind I’m in now. I had to make this entry to remember this final moment before I ditch my soon-to-be-gone chrysalis of youth… for I, do not know how I’m gonna be like after Regine comes into my life. It’s just 3 days away, and yet, it feels like eternity…
(Probably most of the guys are having the same strange feeling as what I’ve described above, which is likely attributed to the upcoming World Cup tournament. But I assure you, my fellow friends, that my delirium has nothing to do with the World Cup tournament at all…)
ahh, the joys of being a father. wishing u all the best in handling a crying baby and stinking pampers.
but on the bright side, at least u can watch matches while feeding her at 3am.
Whoa, if only it were on Tuesday…06.06.06 =D
Dude, you know my number.
All the best to Emily.
Take care dude…
ALL THE BESSTTTTTTTT!!!!!!
7th June. A few days away. Ceasarian? Both Adam and T’ra came out that way. The waiting’s not fun dude. Bring a book. Make it a real page-turner. One that’ll totally tune you out from the real world.
Or you could just ask the anesthetist to use the leftover anesthesia on you to knock you out and wake up when everything’s over.
Michael!! I offer myself as your kid’s fairy godmother!
If it falls on the 6th it would be interesting. Triple 6, the number of the devil. hehe.
Everything will fall into its place.. after baby comes..
Good luck.. and safe delivery to Emily… and a healthy baby to both of you ..
Oh I see. Shit, two entries ago I thought your baby girl was actually born. Ahhh, I don’t skim and scan very well. *pai seh*
Yeah I get what you mean. Having a baby apparently takes a couple’s relationship to a whole new level. When the baby’s born, the two-person relationship becomes a whole new unit: a family. I have cousins who got married and had kids of their own, and it’s really amazing, although sometimes I think they pamper their kids too much. But yeah, it’s normal to feel the anticipation of actually becoming a father.
I totally understand how you feel. I had my finals about a month ago, and I was worried, failing that class means I wont be able to graduate. Call me a CC but I called my friend at 300AM and told him how worried I was. After my exam, I was even more afraid as out of 4 questions, I have to rely on partial credits for all 4 questions. But 2 weeks ago, I graduated.
I hope you too can smile after a few days as you read this entry again. Patient and Good Luck~!
Good luck man. Tell Emily everybody’s wishing her and your little girl all the best.
dun worry so much because when Regine arrives, you’ll carve the sweetest smile on your face that all that you’re worrying will be gone. take one step at a time
All the best to both of you. Hope all goes well..
All the best! I hope everything goes well and falls into place.. =)
Take care of Emily. She’ll need your moral suppport. All the best.
I wish all of u well.
All the best!
A few days ago, we went to monitor the baby’s health to make sure everything’s good for the delivery.
Emily was made to go through a test called CTG (Cardio something something) - where we get to do nothing but listen to the baby’s amplified heartbeat for the whole 30 minutes.
The experience? It was ecstatic. XD
Thanks for the wishes, people. Appreciate it.
Congratulations on the coming of your precious new arrival. Now you begin a new adventure in learning that true happiness really does come from selfless service. My best wishes to you.
Hope I am not too late here.Good luck,Mike
All the best.
