37 weeks, and counting down to the arrival of Baby Jillian

I am in my 37th week already. Baby Jillian measures about 40-44cm and weighs between 3-3.4kg. Oh my! ready or not, she'll be making her arrival soon.

I ordered a lime green fabric arm chair last week and they said it should arrive in 6weeks' time. A comfy armchair to help me breastfeed as comfortably as possible (Last time, I had back aches from BF on the bed supported by some pillows and cushions). End Aug, the furniture store will have a sale, and I'll ask Simon to pick up a pair of fuchsia pink cushions!

Initially, I was concerned as to how a lime green armchair will fit in the rest of the furnishings in our future home. I thought to myself, if it didn't fit into the living room with the rest of the furniture, then the armchair will serve as a reading chair in my bedroom or study. Then I thought, I have always wanted a riot of colours in my home...so the armchair should fit right in!

Still have a couple more items to pick up to prepare for Jillian's arrival. The custom made crib arrived a week ago. Weird dimensions, but it will have to do...besides it will be stronger than the usual cribs they sell here in Miri. Jonathan played with the barrier of his old crib and promptly broke the top part. So, no way Jillian can use that crib!

I went to shop for some suitable pink bed linen for the crib....but the store either had a pink bedlinen with yellow Winnie the Pooh prints, or a super sweet pink one with pinkier hearts! Too much pink for me! The neutral cream coloured ones didn't come in the size I wanted or they were not fitted sheets! Will go check out another shop this weekend.

And everyone was saying I would have fun shopping for Jillian....thank goodness for clothes that were given to me or I bought them when I was in Singapore in early May. I will have them washed in early Aug as Jillian's EDD is 15 Aug.

Which brings me to another issue...Jon's birthday. It falls on 10 Aug. Last year, grandma threw a big party and invited so many relatives and some staff. It was like CNY. This year, she suggested I invited my church friends over. Then Simon said, what if we planned and Jillian decides to come a little earlier? And do I bake cupcakes again and make fondant decorations (simple ones of course, I am no pro baker).
