Shorty’s blood pressure has been going up quite a bit in the past 24 hours. Doctor has been increasing medication to try keep it down but we’re almost at the maximum dosage so it looks like we might have to be forced to deliver Fighter soon. She’s also a lot weaker, has a bit of pain here and there and finds it a bit difficult to breathe. We’re just counting the days now… I’m now only just hoping for Monday to come so Fighter will be 31 weeks.
In the mean time to pass the time I decided to post some of the other conversations we’ve had lately.

This conversation took place last week when we were still allowed to go out of the hospital for a few hours. We were at Tokyo Street in Pavilion where I bought this watermelon ice-cream from Japan.
Shorty: FATTY come here. I think you’ll like this ice-cream.
Me: Ohhh how you know ah?
Shorty: Of course I know.. I’m your wife! *sensitive*
Me: Oooh Mrs Sensitive.
Shorty: No its Mrs Tiah…. HAHAHA GEDDIT GEDDIT?
Me: No…

I walk into Shorty’s room in the hospital
Me: Heheh just now I saw this cute baby from the next door ward being rolled out. Sleeping away.
Shorty: Yayayaya…. it’s the one always crying one. The one wrapped in the pink blanket right?
Me: I think so.
Shorty: The one that is really really red one right his face?
Me: Yah….. damn cute wan.
Shorty: Hahaha ya… it’s the one when you walk out of my room it’s from the ward on the left one right?
Me: Uhh no… from the right one.
Shorty: Oh….. then it’s another one.
Me: Yeah probably.
Shorty: ….. bitches all giving birth before me!!! *waves fist*
Me: Eh excuse me! Need I remind you that that is a good thing considering we’re here trying to delay Fighter’s birth so he has more time to grow in your womb.
Shorty: Ohh… hehehehe … yayaya…

In the past few days Shorty has been feeling really heavy from the pregnancy. Her stomach now is pretty huge in comparison to her small frame. She says that she feels she can’t support the weight.
Shorty: Ahh Fighter can’t wait for you to come out! Don’t think I can do this anymore.
Me: HEY! No Fighter… you stay in there… Mummy doesn’t mean that *speaks to stomach*
Shorty: Fighter… the world is so colourful outside. You should come out and see it!
Me: No Fighter! I mean yes… the world is colourful but you can see it in 4 weeks time. Be patient. Not just yet….. Notty huh this Shorty!
