Dear Peanut,

Tomorrow, October 10, 2017, we are officially at 37 weeks. Based on our previous checkups with Dr.JMF, I can go into labor anytime starting tomorrow. So you can only imagine how these past few weeks went by.

SC and I went on shopping sprees and #Peanut errands and attended numerous seminars at our chosen hospital to prepare ourselves and our home for your arrival. We call it “plannicking” (planning + panicking). We’ve also packed the hospital bag, hoarded freebies from seminars (Pampers!!!!), bought futons for the second bedroom, and hand washed all your itsy-bitsy newborn clothes. I ripped one of the bigkis, they’re so fragile!

Handwashing all those tiny clothes is more difficult than handwashing all my thongs and sexy underwear, I swear! And I never thought that ironing all your newborn clothes can be so stressful at first.

I destroyed our iron’s thermostat that we had to borrow one from your LolaMommy while it’s being fixed. I also learned a few tricks when handwashing newborn clothes: untie before washing, otherwise, you’d end up with curly ribbons that are just a pain in the ass to iron.

Slowly learning and keeping myself from panicking. I’m sure we’ll learn more hacks along the way.

We are so excited to see you! <3

Love,
Update (as of March 29, 2018): Changed my codename from Queen Bitch (QB) to Tiger Mom (TM).
