Nope, I am not psychic knowing that my birthday will fall on the 1st of March =) My Mom went to see her doctor yesterday and she was still advised that I am still not in the engaged position. I'm still comfortably lying on my back, enjoying my Mom's company.
Well, two or three weeks ago, Mom was told I was in breech position (meaning) I'm standing instead of the other way around. Her doctor said there might still be a chance that I could turn and hence come out naturally. She did say about 2% chance. But, I've got other plans.
Hence, 1 March 2010, will be my birthdate, via caesarian section at the Medcare Hospital.
Mom and Dad already checked the hospital. They looked at the parking, the room (4 days and 3 nights of stay for C-section patients). They asked what the maternity package included:
- Maternity pads for my Mom with wings? Check
- Diapers for me? Check
- Milk formula for me? Check (S26) Same milk formula Mommy intends to use, very good. She actually bought a can already last time she did her grocery, along with my diapers (Pampers, the new one that has more cotton than the usual =)
- How many people can stay in the room? Dad can stay, since there's a couch.
- What time do they need to be at the hospital? Mom's scheduled for an 8am delivery. So they need to be there an hour before for the prep.
The Maternity package is AED17,000 but it does not include nursing fees (AED2,000) and additional incidentals. My Mom's insurance cover is AED25K but for the entire year. So hopefully, the bill won't exceed AED20K. The leftover AED5K covers her check ups since start of this year. The good thing is Medcare is part of the approved hospitals for her Neuron card. So, they don't need to shell out money (except I guess for the stuff for me). The money they've saved up (they started an account for me when they found out about my coming) they've decided to use to purchase the package for my stem cell banking =) Mom says it's my health insurance in a way =)
Wee, only a week to go and I get to meet my Parents =)
Can't wait. Mom keeps whispering to me to take my own sweet time, lest I decide to go out prior to 1 March. Mommy will keep working till end of next week (Thursday). So, best that we stick with the plan.
1 March 2010, World... here I come!!!
