United Square with the girls

2009-12-02T17:54:00.005+08:00

Audrey passed me her tin of Baby Nat fruit cereal today. She says Andrea dun lk. And must finish in 2 wks. Cuz she alr opened for 2 wks. Wasted. So passed to me. Smells lk Froot Loops.

Cyn got some clothes for Hailey as well. For her full mth gift. LOL! belated! bt i get to pick all her clothes! =D She shared a jar of Island Fruit Jumble with Nigel. Prob a few nibbles only. She abit blur. Hahaha!

2 meals a day!

2009-11-19T17:31:00.000+08:00

Hailey has finished her box of brown rice. Pretty fast i wld say, considering she takes in 5tbsp a meal. 1.5 wks was all it took. lol! Now on Oatmeal Cereal (also HT), mom says this is easier to mash and mix. And it seems she prefers this to Brown Rice! She's had apple puree (fresh!) and peach puree (Gerber). Loves apple, cringes at peach. Dunno y. Maybe cuz it's from the jar. Scrapped some honeydew for her as well and she likes it alot!

Will be meeting audrey and cynthia next mon at united square for some Cotton On Kids shopping! Yay! Wed will hv gathering at feb mum's plc! Yay!

Her first tastes

2009-11-03T21:32:00.000+08:00

Hailey's been waking up twice a nite nw. Once usually at abt 3am, the other abt 6am. Then her official wake tme at abt 7.30-8am. I'm beat. So i decided tt 3rd Nov 2009 is the day she is gg to have her first cereal feed.

So we sat her on the bouncer and strapped a bib on her. Stirred in some ebm with HT brown rice cereal and mashed away. Was abit too watery in mom's opinion. But i was worried that she couldn't swallow. Anyway, it was a mess and her face wasn't very pretty when she had her first taste. Probably thinks it tastes weird.

Gave her 1 tbsp for taste and she took quite a while. still sucking on the spoon lk it was milk. Then she got fussy. So we moved her to the Bumbo and it was even worse!! She didnt knw hw to swallow! lol! Back to the bouncer and finished up the little bit of cereal. It was a fun experience and this is just the beginning. =D

POPPED!!

2009-05-24T23:23:00.000+08:00

21/5
4pm: check up at acj, doc says dilate 2 cm and gt contractions, bt i dun feel much.. ctg shows ok also.. bt doc told me, store emer number into hp, if anything jus admit aft 11 cuz no charge ma.
6 plus: satisfied MOS burger craving and went home slack still no feeling tho abit menses cramp..
10plus: menses cramp stronger and back is super sng till cant sit down or lie down long.
22/5
12plus: reach tmc (since doc say aft 11 is nt charged then might as well lor. in case anything happen)
1 plus: hooked up to ctg again and saw regular contractions w gd intervals too. nurse commented dat i was "having gd contractions". still no pain, jus sore.. aft awhile they checked bt nothing happening. still 3 cm!!
3plus: check again and STILL 3cm! I asked if doc wld drop by (trying my luck) and nurse say ya, in the morning lor abt 8-9plus. I want to faint liao cuz i wanted doc to burst water so i can dilate faster! *getting impatient*
by dawn: super impatient and fed up cuz seems like contractions slowed down or smt.. either i was getting used to the soreness or it really toned down. bt no choice so i LOON!
9.30am: doc finally appeared and checked me!! STILL 3 cm!! she decided to burst bag and put me on drip.
11.30pm: midwife came in, 4-5cm liao!! PAIN but still looning! she also mentioned that my bb is in posterior position dat's y i feel the pain on my back instead of tummy. and also said this kind of labor is usually longer and more painful. by then i already kinda gg nuts. hb very worried and persuaded me to take epi.. which i did in the end.. too painful.. =(
11.45am: EPI lai liao! after awhile it was HEAVEN.. lol! tho i can still feel the pressure of bb pressing down in my pelvis.
2pm: midwife appeared again to check me. was shivering and trembling so much dat i only smsed hb (who went downstairs to meet fren who jus arrived to acc him$) "9cm". immediately he came back and sat ard.

several mins later...

another nurse check ~10cm le!!!
dr khi was called up and so the process begins..

the epi made me puke and damn shivery and trembly.. was quite loopy on it cuz dr also mentioned i was kinda talking nonsense. lol.
one thing quite upsetting was bb's presentation made it harder for her to come out and i cldn't find energy to push le.. so after quite a few pushes, doc use forceps. oh and i rmb the midwife mentioned dat bb heartbeat dropping so must faster get her out also so maybe dat's y they decided to use forceps lo. so sad dat i cldn't do it on my own..

2009-05-14T16:19:00.004+08:00

Went for doc visit on Friday.. So exciting cuz doc say gonna do VE and VE is where we find out hw much we dilated and all dat stuff. BB was 2.7+kg so we're safe from induction!! =) VE was freaking painful ok!! Not like the V scan at the very first visit when bb was 6 wks old!! I wanted to ask ah Khi wat she was trying to look for inside.. =/ Anyhoo, she said I was 1.5cm dilated (wonder if she cld feel bb's head) and to jus get ready. All's well so we went back all happy.

And since I'm still typing this post, it obviously means that I'M STILL HERE. Contradictory feelings cuz i WANT bb out soon yet I'm scared of wat's to come. Very very contradictory. Husband's getting all impatient already and I suspect he's considering induction.. which i prefer nt to.. she'll b out when she's ready or i'll induce if there's really a need to.

Tmr's my next visit. Wonder if my cervix dilated more already. Climbed 26 storeys ytd!! Separate occasions la, that is. Bt still alot! And I walked to JP. Hope all these helps. Tonite gonna seduce the husband too. Sex helps to dilate cervix I read and heard. Sigh. I doubt she's coming out so soon. I'm gonna go Sushi Tei for lunch and Macs Flavor Burst for desert tmr to make myself happy.

Things I say to my darling girl

2009-05-04T18:07:00.002+08:00

So the tot that I may need to induce has driven me nuts. Jean and Audrey always encourage me to talk to her and I've been doing it regularly ever since the check up. Things I say:

1) Baby, dun eat so much inside, u wanna eat, come out then eat! Placenta processed food not as tasty u knw!

2) Baby, when u come out, mommy buy u Happy Meal and gt toy somemore!! Umbilical cord not as fun as Happy Meal toy!

3) Baby, TAF club = FAT club. girls cannot be fat. girls must be slim n chio n smart. so can get free meals, free branded bags, free rides home and smart enuf nt to get cheated!! they shld nt be TAF club potential!

4) Baby, faster come out naturally so u can wear nice clothes n look pretty not like nw inside the womb all wet and wrinkly!

5) Baby be good, when u come out pls do it quick ok! Mommy and daddy will bring u go Macdonalds eat the choco sundae!! Very delicious!!

I hope she understands. =p

Swim swim!!

2009-05-02T20:26:00.000+08:00

Went for swim at Floravale today!! Very sunny very nice!! =) Took pix of my belly again! I love it! The water was nice and cold, the weather was sunny hot hot! And my bikini fits incredibly well!! Must be the boobs and the ass! But the thighs also freaking big. Haha.

2009-05-01T13:35:00.001+08:00

Today is slightly rainy and cloudy! *happy* can go for my jp walk. Bt gotta get rid of this laziness first. Need to run my errands!!

Ade is in ACJ nw doing her CTG. Somehow had contractions and spotting. Funniest thing is she say "give me 2 more days!!" i told her, ur girl buay tahan wanna come out and play liao! I wonder when's my turn.. scared but excited. hahs.

Got a msg from Louise. Sarah's gg home today frm her jaundice treatment. She says her hb collapse liao. I told her her sms made me really scared! But kinda on the pt of no return so.. Hopefully my girl decides to come out on Friday! Dun ask me why I jus like it dat way. =)

My body parts

2009-04-27T21:50:00.005+08:00

This is a picture of my feet when it's swollen. It doesn't look too bad but in case it gets worse, I want to remember that it's nvr been THAT swollen before!

Also, pixes of my belly at 35wks!!! Went for scan and doc says that bb could be a bit big for me to deliver at full term. Wants me to consider popping earlier. I-N-D-U-C-E. *gasp*

My weight increased 400gm, and the little one, 700gm!!!!!! Whr the heck she managed to absorb 700gm from me!!!! Pengz. Now she is 2.5kg @ 35 kg. Today was the first time I felt like being bigger sized is much better. So, next visit at 37 wks, doc will tell me if she needs to be induced. =/ *cross fingers*

Mt A popcorn party

2009-04-27T18:07:00.003+08:00

Went to Mt A on Saturday to visit Louise and brought the husband to see Cynthia too. Nigel was crying his head off but still cute la. =) Then went over to Louise and saw her little Sarah... Sooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!! Nose and lips like ah Lo. About epidural, she said to me: The pain is not for humans. Hahaha!!! Apparently, Flommy and Okipoki also popped that day so we went over to see them as well. 4 mommies in visited in a day. 3 same bird day somemore. And they all staying same level, their babies all in same nursery. Can have a mini party liao. =)

Check up @ wk 35

2009-04-24T21:11:00.001+08:00

Agnes, Louise and me check up on same day but different timing. Will see wat happens to Louise. She's supposed to be induced today cuz J wong scared her bb too big for her size.

When I got there, she was doing CTG.. But managed to see her cuz today Ah Khi wait time very slow. Haha. So anyway, J Wong told her to come back on Monday and check whether she's ok to be induced on that day instead.

Ah Khi told me my BH still safe zone. No pain = no rush. BB girl's now at 2.5kg. WTH. I'm at 53.8kg. Basically, I gained 400gm and she gained 700gm!! OMG!! 700gm in 3 wks is not funny lor! Ah Khi also told me that bb grew quite abit and estimated tt full term cld be 3.5kg!! Wah lau!! Anyhoo, she said "well, by 37wks ur in the safest zone already so if bb wt is too much, u can choose to deliver earlier." Means induce liao lor. But my dear girl's head nt engaged yet. And prob not low at all, tho head is down already. I scared nt engaged, nt dilated = C SECT! *faints* Probably scaring myself but how to not be scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same situation as Louise liao!!

BUT................

At 8 plus, I suddenly got an sms!! Louise's water broke!!!! She went Uniqlo and then dunno wat happened then water broke!! Fated la. Hahahah!! Will go with husband to visit her at Mt A tmr. =) Now gotta go to in-laws's place. Later gg to meet the JW mommies from forum!!

Welcome to Nigel!!!

2009-04-23T22:58:00.003+08:00

Alot of girls are popping babies on the May thread these 2 weeks. Some at 34/35 weeks. I wonder when's my turn.. Still far la.. End May edd...

Cyn's c sect is scheduled at 5.30am today and she went in at midnite last nite. Nigel officially popped on the 22nd April!!! Hahaha!! Went to visit her at Mt A. Apparently, Adeline is also dilated!! 1cm!! And J wong told her that her girl is very low now. I think she better stay away from stairs and refrain from walking too much. On the other hand, I should probably do more walking and stair climbing!!! If not for faster engagement and easier delivery, it also builds stamina to PUSH!

Another hang out day

2009-04-20T14:38:00.000+08:00

Woke up with cramps in the morning!! 7am start till 12 then stop. Pooped 3 bloody times!! Duno wat the heck.

The oxtail was really tasty and we had ice cream after that! Nice lunch and Louise scooted off for her check up after that. Cyn and Ade went shopping and my on-mc-husband came to pick me up.

Hello again Smileys!

Check up @ 32 wks!

2009-04-03T21:20:00.002+08:00

Baby Natalie is 1.85kg at 32 wks! And I've hit 53.4kg. Still ok la. =) No pictures anymore cuz she's too big to fit in 1 single photo and it's blur anyway. so yea. She's in small-medium range still and her size is gd fir for me to pop! Head's down already but not engaged yet. Edd remains tho the other girls have their edds forwarded. Jean's however was pushed further back. Strange.

Been having the BH lately tho there's no pain yet. Also got those sharp shooting pains in the pelvic area. Think bb moving down there. Ah Khi say it's ok as long as no pain. Next visit is 3 more wks! Think I can eat a little bit of durian now?? =p

Birthday girl

2009-03-25T20:12:00.000+08:00

Met up with husband and his frens at Raffles City. Celebrated Heike's bird day for her. But weird thing is they like nvr go have their own "nice dinner for 2".. Kept calling and smsing to see whr we are.. It's like they pai say to be alone, need us with them. Lol! Bought a cake for her and met them at Dempsey.

Heike kana forced drink.

We are all friends!!!

4D scan

2009-03-23T16:43:00.004+08:00

Went for the 3D/4D scan at Siemens building on Sat!! (All thanks to Jean who helped to book the appt for me!!! and Cyn who called me early in morning to tell me abt it!! *loves*) Jean got the 1st slot at 10am and mine was 11am so had to wait for her to be done. So the scan wasn't jus me, husband and the technician. There were like a few other ppl there and I felt like a case study. Hur hur. Husband and Jean went in with me and saw bb yawn and move and cover her face for the whole 30mins while the technician was trying to get her to move her arms away to see her face!! *stubborn girl!!* Finally towards the end, another technician scanned and somehow gt bb's side view. Heng ah. No need pay TMC to scan for me. =)

The Big Gathering

2009-03-15T18:57:00.002+08:00

Had this big gathering at my place cuz folks went on cruise. Had the mj, wii and the gambling there. Was noisy and rowdy but great fun. Supposed to be another steamboat dinner then mj and wii but ended up heavy rain and Kelvin's leg gt problem. So didnt manage to go Xtra to buy groceries. Husband also feverish and been sleeping all day. So end up we called KFC and Pizza in for dinner. Huiyi and Louis also appeared abt 10 and the rest started coming in. Xuan and Thomas came and left after a short while. Fun fun fun! =) Stayed up till abt 5plus and me n husband mopped and cleaned up after they left. Tiring!

2009-03-11T14:38:00.002+08:00

Apparently my grandmother does not have diabetes!! Yay! So i cancelled my GD test and changed it to a regular appt. =D Anyway previous check up Dr Khi said bb girl is on "small-medium" side. Doubt I have GD.

Steamboat dinner!!

2009-03-09T17:30:00.000+08:00

Had a few steamboat dinners at my place lately. But decided to eat China style "ma la" steamboat. Cyn recommended this Shanghainese style (i think) so we all went there. Nice!! Had this spicy crispy chicken thing which they served as appetizer then when the chicken thing finish, they poured the soup base in. Very nice!! Everyone was there but only have pix of Cyn and Uncle Dennis, Sherlyn and Glen. Ade was late and i forgot to take pictures of myself n Henson n Louise. How bimbotic.

3rd, 4th wedding and a baby shower

2009-03-03T14:44:00.003+08:00

A very "xi" weekend this was. Kelvin and Heike, Brian and Janice, Baby Jonas.

Baby Jonas celebrated his full month today!! Altho he's really just 3 wks old, bt apparently it's better to celebrate early than late. Some chinese tradition again. Ching Lien and Shermin brought baby Larissa and Charmaine brought her kids too. So cute to see so many kids around tho I'm not very used to it. Then Sky passed baby Jonas to me! Ask me to carry so that my girl and her boy is not "easily jealous". I have nvr carried a baby before. So naturally I had stiff arms while he wriggled around. Damn scared he might roll off!! Then she passed to Henson. His fatherly instincts surfaced and he started playing with bb Jonas. So cute. Didnt knw my husband is actually so fatherly. Very happy and relieve too. At least I knw that one of us dares to handle a soft little bb. =p

Brian and Janice got ROM-ed!! Left Gen. Hopefully she also faster la. Think she also can't wait. Every wedding just makes her wanna get hitched fast. Brian teared when the solemnizer read the vows. Both me n Pris smack our husbands and asked why they nvr tear. Stupid Henson say Brian tear cuz it's the end of freedom. tmd.

Uploaded 1 pix so bb girl can see my tummy size! =D

Only took 1 picture at Kelvin and Heike's wedding!! So irritating!! I think also cuz my mood was shitty on that day. Covered up pretty well till abit later. Went for drinks at Harry's cuz Bel was working so got some family discount thr. Haha. Next time can bring bb go. So while we hang out and chat she can slp in her stroller. SO CUTE!!!!!!

2nd Feb Wedding

2009-02-23T13:39:00.001+08:00

Went to Ray's wedding at Yishun safra or smt. Didnt knw Safra can hold wedding dinner one. My tummy so big compare to Ray's wife. And she also very cute. Wondering why my tummy big and hers still so small. Remember someone told me before that usually in this kind of situation, tummy will only balloon after the wedding.

Ate shark's fin again!! *loves*

Another kiddy sale

2009-02-20T22:32:00.000+08:00

Went to Kidzloft sale with the girls. Spent a whole 4-5 hrs there!! Baby girl better knw wat mommy hve to go through to get all ur nice things ah!! Went to AMK to meet them. Long journey but was very worth it. Everything was like 50% off!! After that went with Sherlyn to Whampoa so that husband can meet me there or I go to MT from there. End up he sent Jaz and James thr so they can guide him there also. Showed them my stash and I think they quite amazed lor. Hahaha. Went to Agnes's FIL shop and gt some cooling looking tops thr. Think baby girl can wear when older. =D

1st Feb wedding

2009-02-16T13:55:00.000+08:00

I've got 4 weddings this month. So happening rite. Went to Terry's place this morning for the yum cha. The buffet damn nice. Neo Garden. The safe choice. Haha. All uncles and aunties were there. Gu gu Jem kept saying my neh neh big liao. -_-"

Saw Shu Ling in her "kua".. so nice lor!! I didnt even get to wear kua at my wedding. Too big for me. Now i think abt, should jus MTM one and pass down to my girl to wear on her wedding. So meaningful lor.. Her tummy not showing much yet which is gd, but she says she change a few dresses throughout liao. I told her, take it as though u pay one price and wear all the dresses there. *cheapo* lol.

Wedding was at Harbour City. Same same. Haha. Then the aunties and cousins were drinking as usual. Terry got drunk with his friends and didnt drink much with us. Was planning to go clubbing aft the wedding too but he says maybe Shu Ling dun want. Which makes sense la, ur wife dun want to go then hw can u go esp if it's 1st wedding nite. Kekeke!

Happy V day!

2009-02-14T23:15:00.001+08:00

Happy Valentine's!!

Went to Paragon supermarket to get groceries to make dinner. Husband wanna make me steak dinner with veg and mash potato and Jello dessert! The beef we got at the market super nice lor!!!! So tender and juicy!! Got 2 pieces at abt $50. Got the deli guy to slice half and pound. Husband say pound will tenderise it more. =) Got some baby carrots and corn and some instant mushroom and black pepper sauce to go with the steak.

No flowers for me cuz husband says they die on me within 3 days. Waste money. Hmm. True la. So it was a very toned down V day but very nice cuz it's the last V day we'll spend together as a two-some! Dunno if can still be all coupley next V day, better enjoy nw!

Post holiday check up

2009-02-13T19:06:00.001+08:00

Supposed to go check up on the 6th but was so tired didnt wanna go.. Changed to today instead.. 25 weeks old. I wonder if she's really 25 weeks or earlier or later.. Doc only deduce based on my LMP. If i saw my LMP is an earlier date then my EDD is early and bb is older lor. So it depends on what we tell doc? Weird.

Baby now too big to fit into the scan.. Only have her head shot. Forehead looks huge. Guess that's how they all look. Booked appt to do GD test due to family history. Gotta fast the night before and the next morn to drink some sweet drink. Ewww. Must go confirm if family history really got diabetes.

Dinner with the girls

2009-02-11T13:58:00.004+08:00

Met up with the girls today for dinner at Vivo. Felt like having local food so all went to Food Republic. The husbands who were free also joined us. Then went to Bakerzin to gossip more. =) I think we look good. Hee!

Hello hello~~

2009-02-05T15:39:00.002+08:00

Feelin' good!! Didn't spend much thr but had loads of fun. Made frens with some tour members cuz they had drinks most nites. Bonding la i think. Haha!! Our tour guide damn hao lian type, but it was entertaining to have him ard. Husband enjoyed himself loads too. So happy that I went to Europe with him. No one else I'd wanna go thr with other than our little girl. =) Uploaded pic in facebook cuz too many pictures to upload!!

Bye bye!

2009-01-20T21:38:00.000+08:00

2009-01-19T19:29:00.002+08:00

Baby is a G.I.R.L!! Told u no need to hide already my dear bb!! =) So cute, she kept siamming the scanning thing so it was hard to see her face. Tho baby, the scanning was to check if u gt cleft lip of some other defects. Not to see how pretty u are!! Her little hand stuck out suddenly and can see her fingers and bones inside. Very incredibly cute!!!! Finally know her gender, can go buy more pretty clothes for her! And the Gimmill sale clothes are NOT WASTED AT ALL!!! =)

Went to Cynthia's and Sky's place to get the winter clothing. Will wear both of theirs. Heng can fit. Can save abit of $ there. Bought a pair of maternity jeans from Topshop for $65 thanks to Aisyah's member card. Bought some not-so-thick-but-not-that-thin dresses from Zara also so can layer and keep warm. I am once again, insanely excited abt this trip!! My honeymoon destination is EUROPE!! How nice!!

Saw a couple of Europe itineries which are pretty gd, but will decide the actual destination before confirming! Yay!! I AM INSANELY EXCITED!!

Combis, MacLarens, Aprica, Capella, Graco....

2008-12-21T12:07:00.000+08:00

The world of strollers is filled with so many colors, designs and brands. Crap-loads to choose from. I'm getting bored of looking at all of them. Henson's incredibly good at opening and closing the strollers with "one hand motion" now.

Was at Bugis looking at strollers, not much choice so hopped over to Marina Square Kiddy Palace.. Saw a 3 wheeler Capella.. 11 freakin kilos!! Imagine it with a baby, at least also 15-18kg!! Madness la. Tried out Miracle Turn quite gd cuz light. I like. But I also like the way MacLaren looks. Damn stylo lor. Dun look "typical" at all. But not reversible and abit heavier than the Combi. Husband and Kesper think might not be able to fit into our little car. =/ oh wells.
Then suddenly, I saw this lady with her quite chio looking stroller!! I went to her and asked where she got hers, she said Taka and gt sale somemore!! Aprica one! She say not bad, not too heavy IT WAS DAMN CHIO LOOKING!!

So we popped by to Taka at like 9.15pm, and checked out the strollers there. Wider range with like most stroller brands. So then we saw the Aprica one. Damn nice lor... BUT....... husband n Kesper say "no gd lei, the shade can't cover fully" End up, we got the Combi Miracle Turn. Light, compact and easy to handle. Not bad la. =)

Bb better say thank you to God-daddy Kesper for the stroller otherwise u have to sit in NTUC trolley padded with cardboards as bumpers. =p

Daddy is lookin' excited!!

Baby Center (SG)!!!

2008-10-23T17:37:00.001+08:00

Surfed around on tips abt baby and pregnancy.. Abt 7-8wks preg. =D

From BabyCenter (SG)
7 weeks pregnant

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are now seven weeks pregnant (or in your eighth week if that's how you prefer to count it).

How your baby's growing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In theory your baby is still an embryo because it has the remains of a small tail, which will disappear in the next few weeks. But that's the only thing that's getting smaller. The heart and brain are becoming more complicated, the eyelid folds are forming, the tip of the nose is present, and the arms now bend at the elbows and curve slightly over the heart.

Now about half an inch / 1.25 centimeters long, the size of a grape, the embryo has distinct, slightly webbed fingers and toes. It's a jumping bean, moving in fits and starts. The liver is churning out large amounts of red blood cells until the bone marrow forms and takes over this role. Right now, the teeth and palate are forming, while the ears continue to develop. The fetus' skin is paper thin, and veins are clearly visible.

How your life's changing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You may not look or even feel pregnant, but your uterus is expanding to accommodate your growing baby. Before pregnancy it was the size of a clenched fist; now it's as big as a dragonfruit. As it grows you may feel some abdominal cramping and mild twinges. In early pregnancy many women feel as if they are on an emotional rollercoaster - ecstatic to be pregnant one moment only to be in tears at the prospect of parenthood the next. The silliest things can set you off but you and your partner will be relieved to know that it's very common to have mood swings at this stage. A combination of surging hormones and worries about pregnancy and parenthood can also result in vivid dreams or insomnia. Try to relax and take time to unwind - it'll be good practice for the months to come. Though they're unsettling, emotional ups and downs can persist throughout your pregnancy and well after your baby's born so accept that you're bound to feel fragile occasionally. As many as two in five pregnancies won't go much beyond this stage because they end in miscarriage: the first sign is usually vaginal bleeding. This can be devastating when you've got used to the idea that you're pregnant. Your doctor can deal with the physical aspects but try talking it over with your partner, who'll also be deeply affected, and with other women - you'll be surprised how many have had the same experience.

Alot to read I know. It's interesting though. And yup, I signed up for the weekly updates on my darling baby and how my "body is changing". =)

Singapore Motherhood Forum!

2008-10-21T21:17:00.001+08:00

Found out that there's this Singapore Motherhood Forum!! Joined the May '09 MTB thread and the Jurong West SAHMTB threads. SAHMTB: Stay at Home Mom To Be, MTB: Mom To Be. How cute. =)

Need to find a gynae!! Westies are recommending Dr Adrian Woodworth (CCK) or Dr Kee Wei Heong (JP). Dr Kee is night visit only lei.. Dun fancy night visits cuz time nt flexible la. Dr Woodworth... will call tmr.. =) Jeslin say can visit hers. But her waiting time is SHIONG. Guess not la. Husband gets all grumpy if wait too long. Then I will kena. Not gonna get myself in trouble!! See if husband gt anymore friends who will recommend gynaes.

I wonder how's baby doing..

Nausea and such..

2008-10-15T19:29:00.000+08:00

Just wanna slp and lie down all day.. Nausea is NOT fun. =(

No energy for clubbing!!!! ARGH!!!
Sleeping latest at 12.30am nowadays and apparently, the husband says I fall into very deep sleep. Haha.

Spreading the news

2008-10-07T18:55:00.000+08:00

Then I smsed the godmoms abt getting ready to be, well, godmoms. Baby must recognise these 3 other girls.. they are mommy's besties though dun often meet.. *loves*

6 Oct 2008 - The Other Big Day

2008-10-06T22:10:00.002+08:00

Been a few days since the "wonder" was hovering around in my mind.. Bought the "Clearblue Easy +/- Results Pregnancy Test" thingy and stuffed it in my drawer since er.. last night.. Decide to test on Wednesday if Ms Flo still don't come.

But then I woke this morning before husband woke. Desperately needed to pee and didnt want to go yet because was thinking: might as well go check now, sooner or later wat!! Ms Flo can't be MIA for 2 wks rite!!!! So I climbed out of bed, grabbed the kit, dashed into the toilet and peed like never before, trying hard to aim on the stick for the first few seconds.

..... like forever later....

!!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid thing showed some plus minus sign which no matter how many times I read the box I still dun understand!! Then I realised that this symptom only happens to people who weren't expecting what they (a) probably already knew but can't believe it or (b) didnt want to believe what was happening. I think I belong to both.

Ran to the room and threw the kit at the half awake husband. Some reaction as me. Didn't help at all. So the day continued as usual with him going to work. Then kept calling me all morning to get me to call people to find a gynae.

...5pm..

Gone to Gleneagles for 1st visit and confirmation. Expensive expensive. It's the Paragon of the hospital world. Dr Peter Chew is the Hermes of the luxury world. $222.56.

Very long wait and very chor bill. Will go home scout for cheaper gynaes.

Anyhoo, did V scan and confirmed the home test is accurate. Got some vitamins, milk samples and some books written by Dr Hermes here..

This thingy here says that I'm indeed preggers. Yes, I still have it in my box.

Hello baby!!! My little tor-dao!!

Estimated due date: 29th May 2009. Gemini!!! *gasp*
