Photo Blog Beware!!

Since my blog has very little pictures and recently I am so bored that I kept taking her pictures, I shall have a photo blog this time.. from the time she is born till now... See if she has any changes..
I weigh 2.4kg only! Doc and nurses say I am chilli padi!

Look at my big eyes when I am out in the labour ward!

Sleeping soundly in the nursery..

Do I look like a cocoon??

Do I look like Mummy more?


Or Daddy more?

Hiok! Boxing time!!!

Do I pose like Mickey Mouse?

Trying to sing!!!But who understands??


Mummy kept saying I love being traffic police!

So sleepppy...

I love Macarena Dance!

Stay still... Chheeezz..

Smile!

I surrender!!

Ah Bish!! Box myself!

What you looking at?

Are you still taking my pictures?

Feeding time...

Followed by Daddy burping Chloe... Fatherly love..


SOoo.. comfortable sleeping this way.. Like boss..

Huh... Bathing time again..

Can u stop taking my pictures! I am so tired!

Stay tuned for more! My Chloe say she is so tired of posing infront of the camera already!

Nights taking care of little one is getting more out of hand. She is beginning to wake up more in the middle of the night after the first feed at 1am. She will wake up at 4am and after the feed, either she will open her eyes big big or she just want to be carried to sleep. When you put her down, somehow her backside got sensor that can sense the bed and she will start to wail... Really don't know how to handle her sometimes..

And she had this grunting noise she made in the middle of sleep which sometimes startle us, but we guess she is just trying to shit and give out gas, but I think she really does had alot of wind in her stomach which cause her discomfort and ended up she threw temper at us, and even when breastfed her. :( Kept reading articles on how to clear the wind, but is just too common in babies, and only burping might do the trick or maybe give her some Woodward's gripe water which I read on January's Mother and Baby.

Ended up, Mr was late for work cos he took care of little one last night. And he is so tired even tot of taking urgent leave. But I didn't say YES cos I hope the urgent leave would use in a more useful way. But seeing all my other friends, I guess every couple will be this tired taking care of their only little one in the middle of the night which is just parents' responsible. We will tide over this together and baby very soon will grow up and we will actually appreciate and thankful for the effort we put in to see our 'fruits of labour' grow.

Honestly, I really loved to see Mr wake up in the middle of the night to feed little one, and me lying on bed looking at him and little one. Felt very warm looking at this 'scene', feeling a sense of belonging to this family and the little miracle we created. Though this is the hardship period, but I believed the love and care for the little one will tide us over.. and she will grow up to be a pretty little one.. :)

Daddy's N Mummy's Xmas' Wishes

Still being confined at home, Mummy missed going out on a Xmas' eve with Daddy. Looking outside the window, with a bright sunny blue sky which is Mummy's favourite weather and yet she has to be confined at home. But is ok, there is me! with them.. and I will grant them 3 Xmas' wishes...

Daddy's 3 wishes:
1. Chloe growing up healthy and strong.
2. Mummy not so grumpy and no depression.
3. Daddy make 1 million dollar! Lol..

Aiyo.. my daddy's 3rd wish... I guess is everyone's dream I suppose.

Let's see Mummy's 3 wishes:
1. Since Daddy already wished for Chloe, Mummy wish Chloe could call Mummy first when I can say my first word. Lol.
2. Mummy's breastmilk supply don't stop and getting the technique better each time and Chloe's every feed is a happy one and not a grumpy one.
3. Wish to have our own house soon.

And last but not least, Chloe and family wishes everyone a Merry Xmas and A Happy New Year! See ya!

Recently after the previous blog my little princess has become more cranky and cried alot and throw temper alot until I really stress and keep my mind in a whirl. Thinking of foolish things, like just letting her cry and covering my ears or just put her somewhere where I cannot hear her cries. I really guess this is how mums go into depression. Therefore, I kept telling myself I cannot think so much, I must be happy, think of her cries as sing song, and do deep breathing.

Suddenly I feel I am not cut to be a mum, hearing baby cry and I want to shirk responsibility which I think is not the right way. Maybe after all, I am not prepared to be one. I really wondered how my other friends fare. Maybe I should learn how to console a cranky baby. Even when she breastfed for a while she just cry out loud throwing temper.. I really wish I could know what she is trying to tell me... wish she can talk now.. rather than me guessing..

But anyway, I guess I need time and continuous support from Mr. I don't wish to put pressure on him as well kept saying I cannot be a good mum.. I, too, just need loads of consoling and supporting as well.

Now, I guess is the real time to plan what will happen after 3 months when I return back to work.. I don't wish to be separate from my girl..

Surviving the night ordeal

Daddy and Mummy at last survived at least one night of taking care of me and without any people come to save them. Lol.

Daddy took the first half of the shift, feeding me milk and changing diapers from 11pm to 3am. After which, poor mummy have to wake up on and off to see if I am awake cos I made funny noises, stretching noises, etc. I do not know why I made funny noises which at first really scare them and wake them up from their sleep, but now, Daddy is so clever that tells Mummy that is false alarm, and true enough, Mummy now just lie on bed listening to my funny noises until I really cried, then she will rush to me. :(

Babies once you know their behaviour and timing, you will know what they want. For me, if I drink breastmilk, I can last 2 hours and I will ask for more. And if I drink formula milk, the most I can last is about 3-4 hours. So now, Mummy clever, at 11pm she will give me formula milk to make me sleep longer cos formula milk is fuller. Then if I wake up in the middle of the night, she will give me pumped breastmilk. So is like switching one after another.

Another tip, is after rocking or carrying me a little while, and if I give a smile means I am about to fall asleep and I can be put back on the cot. Hehe... So doesn't mean when everytime I smile means I am smiling at the person who is carrying me.

How to determine of babies cries:
Neh: "I'm hungry"
Owh: "I'm sleepy"
Heh: "I'm experiencing discomfort"
Eair: "I have lower gas"
Eh: "I need to burp"

So right now, we are all waiting for one month to come, and we can go out as a family for the very first time. Waiting for the outing with Daddy and Mummy. :) And also all uncles, aunties, sisters and brothers, please keep yourself free on 6 Jan 2007 11am to 3pm for lunch buffet to celebrate me turning one month. Yay!!!

Last Sat been to the baby doc for Chloe's jaundice review. Been praying so hard these days that she will tide over this. Prayers have been answered. Doc congrats us saying baby's jaundice has dropped to 9.9. I heaved a sigh of relief. But doc say these few days will also go up and down.. but as days pass baby's brain will become tolerant and jaundice will go over. And luckily, she can be put back to breastfeeding to maintain the little bonding between us.. During the doc's visit, the clinic was super crowded with couples and their kids.. and same to us as well, this is the first time I felt the feeling of family.. our little small family.. daddy carrying the bag full of baby's stuffs and mummy carrying the baby and 3 of us waiting for the doc to call her name. The feeling is really great...

And today I felt a sense of great achievement, I changed pampers for Chloe without her crying. Usually I always ask Mr to change cos I scared of her cries. But today she was crying like mad, then i tot she cannot be hungry cos she just eaten, so I checked her pampers while my mil was bathing, and she poo-ed. So I changed for her and she quietly lie there for me to change. I felt so happy for the first time!! I wondered what will be the next happy thing will happen to me and Chloe.

Next week is Xmas already.. a yr without xmas but a baby for a present. Hope my parents and relatives will come but I doubt so cos they have their own party at my aunt's place every year and presents exchanging, etc... So is ok, our new small family will celebrate together.. and I will hang Chloe's first present in her Xmas's socks by her cot. :)

And yes! Today I get to bathe and wash my hair! I damn excited lo... it was like u on the run without bathe and no water and damn dirty and when u see water like you see gold... that kind of feeling.. and I put so much shampoo on my hair... LOL... I wonder when will be the next happy time..

Labour day and Confinement Days

I have brought my little precious darling, Chloe Tan, to this world to her own mummy and daddy on 6 Dec 2007 8.48AM. I have to admit she is a really cute little thing with big big eyes, and long eye lashes. Everything of hers are so small, toes, fingers, head, body, cos she is only a 2.4kg baby as she came out early by 2 weeks.

Labour started at 12.30am on 6 Dec 2007, when I started to feel pain in my stomach, cos everyday I was worrying about how pain and how it begins, so it begins, I couldnt sleep I tot I need to shit so I went to shit, came back tried to sleep but not able to the pain is there. I sat there for an hour going in and out of toilet to see got shit ornot or water bag burst but nothing. At last I woke Mr up at 1.30am he started to stare at me with his big eyes when he woke up. I sat there, feeling abit wet there, but very little, but I rem pple telling me is a big gush of water so I am not sure. End up Mr called Hospital and the nurse said COME LA!

Reached there 2.30pm, checked and confirmed labour is happening. So I was sent to the labour ward and waited. Time passed so slow and I kept looking at the clock, and the pain was excruciating, and really unbearable with each contraction until my whole body tried to defy the pain and stretch my whole body to the fullest but no use. The time was only 3am and I was only 1.5cm dilated. My mind was full of EPIDURAL which was not my original plan. So ended up, I asked for air and gas as a pain relief. I sucked the gas and sucked even more, I can felt myself so high like when u are drunk-kind of feeling, but I can still feel the BIG PAIN subconsciously. I couldn't take it for more than half an hour and I asked for epidural. Signed the consent form. The only thing I dun like about epidural was you will keep shaking and shivering, this is one of the side effect. I felt like I was on drugs and kept shivering and Mr was laughing. Soon after, it take some pain off and I fell asleep as doc say need some energy to PUSH later. But of cos during sleep, I can still feel some pain which i think is good also..

Time passed fast when we both fell asleep and soon was 8am, supposingly I can have my breakfast who knows, the nurse came in and say I am ready for delivery! I was suddenly STUNNED and WIDE AWAKE! Soon after they prepared me, and I was there lying legs spread. Dr Tan came and checked on me. And she left, leaving the nurse there, and cos I was on epidural I suddenly cannot feel anything. Then the nurse say OK, contraction coming, husband hold her back and 1, 2, 3 PUSH!!! I was like PUSH until I wanted to vomit and I felt I dunno I push correctly ornot, felt nothing but only my whole face going red. After a few pushes, Dr Tan returned with another nurse and all started to shout 1,2,3 PUSH very loudly! Even Mr also join in. I felt so scared surrounding by all the PUSHES, 2 nurses and 1 Doc. I tried to notice what Dr Tan was doing when I was pushing, I saw her took scissors and I know she is going to do a epistomy for me. And the next push, I can see she put her hands inside and pull baby out. Scary man! Another little push her whole body was out and I can see her, I touched her, and her body was slippery cos of blood and dunno what substance. I drop tear.

The nurses clear the blood off the baby and Mr taking photos while Dr Tan doing the stitches for me. After that I can carry baby and took some photos. The only thing amazed me was her big eyes open wide open staring around whereas I tot babies all will close eyes and sleep or cry. Lol. I didnt regret going for epidural, I will take that again if I have another baby. Is good to restore energy for the PUSHES.

So days of confinement started after staying in the hospital for 2 nights. Mr only managed to stay only one night with me, supposingly not able to stay at all, but the nurse who is on night shift close one eye. But the second night, the night shift nurse was so insistent that Mr has to go home, and gave a lame excuse saying my neighbour bed is a woman and if anything happen the woman can sue Mr for molest etc. Have you ever heard that a nurse will tell a patient's hubby such thing? I find super ridiculous lo.

Can say days of confinement beginning is really hard to get use to it. Imagine during pre-birth, u bathe everyday but during confinement NO WAY! Maybe after 12 days, then u can get to bathe. So now, my hair is very 'shiny' and greasy and oily, face starting to show pimples already. Mr said my hair so 'liang li' then I joke by saying Ya i can go film the Pantene advert already. Hehe. But one thing i never regret is to cut short my hair. Imagine now with long hair... OMG! Yucks! And the other only thing I cant get used to it is to leave all the dishes washing, etc to the confinement auntie cos I was warned not to touch the tap water unnecessarily. But now i already get used, thinking to live like queen lo. Eat already leave there and then go lie down or go to see baby. But thanks to the massage lady that I called her to wrap my tummy, I can bathe 2 days ago but of cos, still cannot wash hair. But better than nothing. Though happy, but the water prepared for me is damn hot, imagine all the mood to bathe also gone so i just bear with the hot water and just pour over me and faster come out of the bathroom. :( Confinement food also quite standard everyday have to eat fish which is good for me and breastmilk I suppose. But bear with it for one month and everything will be over. Yay! I am really looking forward to the day when baby is one month and everyone will be coming and I can bathe happily and eat what I like. Hehe.. Now the breasts started to feel engorge and I dont know what to do and sms my fren. She said must pump out, so I tried and over a few times managed to get hold of the pumping technique. And after, everyday now, it will start to leak every 2-3 hours and I have to pump, I really felt so lazy, to wash after each use and sterilise. Haiz.. How i wish I got many pumps! Haha..

But now, what I wish is mei mei to be healthy and clear off jaundice. While now I am blogging, she is under the phototherapy light as she was detected to have high jaundice. Really make me heart pain when she started to have her first night in there, she cried non stop from 11pm to 5am and I can even hear her cry in my dreams and the echo even when she is not crying. We slept separate room as I cannot sleep in aircon room which the machine needs to have a cooling temperature. Ended up I too soft hearted though was told not to be, told my MIL to let her sleep for the night and continue the next day. And so she is still sleeping in there, and she did cried in the afternoon, and I tried to console talk to her, it only worked for a while but not long. Really make me heart pain and thinking I bring her into this world to make her suffer which I do not want. Of cos, I couldnt bear with it and I cried one night which I control so hard during the day. I really pray that her jaundice will go down this Sat during the blood test. Mei mei and me have to be strong to counter this.

Looking forward... to see her smile on her face again.

Yesterday had my weekly checkup, since is on a weekday therefore Mr not able to go with me but instead my MIL went with me, at least got a companion.

Actually warned her that we have to wait for a long time, and true enough Dr Tan was out for operation and we waited for like nearing to 2 hours before our turn. Always nice to see Dr Tan's smile.

Oh oh my weight gain surprisingly to me as well 2kg which is 60.3kg. Before my turn comes, the nurse ask me to weigh again. No difference but only drop 0.1kg. She said "My dear girl, only a week leh.." But I didn't really eat much recently dunno why..

But good thing is Dr Tan mentioned that baby is 2.9kg and by next week will be 3kg.. Surprisingly she also shot up in weight.. very good.. Also have asked Dr Tan if I am still safe for natural birth due to the bacteria present in me, she said is safe since I will be covered with antibotics during birth. So have to trust doc right...

Right now, though her head is down, but not in engaged position, therefore have to wait for another week plus and doc say luckily I am still working else I got nothing to do LOL! Is really nice to see Dr Tan... though each time visit was wait long, visit short.. haha.. thinking how to make the 3k worth but I got no much questions to ask her as well...

So next checkup again will be a Monday, but this time I am starting my first day of maternity leave! YUPPIE!!

Last sat, baby cot arrive.. but yet to buy toys to decorate her cot.. as we need to rush down for my checkup.
As usual long queue, and I almost forgotten last week I took the culture test. The test came back positive, though I do not know what test is for and how it will affect the baby, only knowing Dr Tan say I have to eat antibotics else when give birth will affect the baby when on her way out. I didn't ask much though, just be a good mama to eat the medicine.. Quickly rush back to let Mr to wash and sterilise the baby's clothes while I took a nappie. Hehe...

It's one more week plus which is until next Fri my last working day before I go on maternity leave! So excited!! Don't have to work.. but the scariest experience of life is coming... :(

Last Friday was the second time Mr couldn't accompany me to the medical checkup as he was on course. But is fine, being independant I can go to the hospital myself.. LOL. Was pretty crowded waiting for the ultrasound to be done. After a wait of 45 mins at last is my turn to see Dr Chang. He is always very gentle speaking kind of man, and keeps saying "No worries, you are fine." Anyway the scan turned out to be fine as what he assured, the cyst in her brain fluid has disappear, the only thing is she is smaller than an average baby by 250g. So now she is 2.26Kg, when 40weeks due date, the max she can go to is 3kg. I wonder is this good news or bad news? Being a small baby though easier to deliver as mentioned by many, but will she be a Xiao Pu Dian? I want her to be as tall as her daddy and not like me.. LOL.

Anyway after this scan, I have to wait to see Dr Tan. Today she did a test but I not sure what test is that.. Hehe.. and also to feel if there is signs of baby coming out. Luckily NO. So she too mentioned that the baby is small, and she suspect I was a small baby myself, and true, my mummy told me I was small when delivered.. So no choice.. Baby has to follow Mummy. I asked Dr Tan anything I should eat to make the baby bigger, she mentioned DURIANS. In forum, I do heard of eating durians will make a baby grow bigger, but on the other hand, the bus uncle which I took to office every morning told me now the durians not very good as they are sprayed with artificial chemicals. So better don't eat so much. Hmm.. I really wondered how.. maybe natural take its course will be better.. 3 more weeks of work.. YAY!!!

Yesterday something funny happened, during dinner with my in-laws, and suddenly Sis asked me, is my ring very tight.. of cos it is, cos can see that my fingers have grown fatter due to water retention and thus the ring looks so small.. And they all say must take out if not no good for the blood flow.. So when we got home, mum told me to wash with alot of soap and twist and turn, but the ring JUST WON'T COME OUT! Super funny! Then Mr's turn to twist and turn. Very soon, everyone start to come to the kitchen and see.. Imagine 6 people watching me to take out a ring out of my fat fingers! But all also no use!! Haiz.. I guess the ring has to been to on my finger always! Dad even suggest to put my whole hand in a bowl of ice... But end up we didn't do it.. Wait till when I get back to office with aircon and try to take out... Sob.. I got fat fingers!! And not to mention, TOES!

Awaiting for this sat for the baby's cot to arrive so we can start decorating it... :0) With a little x'mas sock!

5th prenatal class..

On Sat was the last lesson that we will be going at TMC. The last lesson will be tomorrow night a seminar talk at Singapore Girl's School. I still thought the last lesson we can see Mrs Wong but no, is her staff nurse again who taught us, and this time is an Aussie lady, Margaret. Sometimes she talked, I couldnt hear her much, sometimes soft sometimes loud.. but she is humourous at sometimes, other times, I almost fall asleep and cannot concentrate. This lesson was abit boring as it is only on breastfeeding, how to make formula milk, breast massaging, how to relieve sore nipples and guess what is by using CHILLED CABBAGES! Lol!

Class ended earlier like 5 mins, also good, cos I really feel super sleepy. Went back to JE and take a rest before setting off to my mum's home for dinner. Yawn..

Yesterday, I went for my maternity makeover, I was quite nervous and excited on Sat, wondering what will happen on Sun. And I kept telling Mr will my stomach look ugly ornot, cos recently has developed stretchmarks, don't know why, maybe cos baby keep stretching and kicking inside! After lunch with family at Japanese restarant, my dad fetch us all the way to bugis and luckily not much customers on Sun, quickly chose the clothes, but the clothes not all very nice, ended up wearing one white tube with green cardigan and one white pants, revealing my tummy! That's the purpose of the photo shoot is to reveal my tummy! Hehe.. The studio is called deCharacter and all are women, including the photographer so I abit shocked, wondering she can take nice pictures, keke.. but end up still OK though Mr said her skills so-so, as some pics she took was like head chop off and or hand chop off, but I think is purposedly to see a different feel. But at last everything is over, and we get to see the photos and choose. In my heart, I hope the pictures don't turn out well, else wait end up have to buy extra photos, so I tell myself to shortlist only a few, so out of 70, I shortlist about 13. 3 used for the photos to print based on the package and the rest of the 10 burn into a CD ROM with the price of $100 rather than a $300. Haiz.. spend money again but I guess is only one-time thing.. Can't wait to get the pictures in 3 weeks time to show everyone.. hehe.. vain mummy right...

One more month to go and I will be on maternity leave and can see my baby come to this world.. hopefully all turns well for this friday's checkup as well!

4th Prenatal class..

Last Sat, woke up at 6am, to go with Mr to register for his Subaru Challenge, my heart feels so heavy. I still remember the night before, thinking if he entered the challenge, I will be alone for days and suddenly I wanna cry, but lucky Mr didn't notice. But I also don't want Mr to regret if I told him I didn't want him to go, so I kept quiet and wish him Good Luck. Sat morning, I kept having the idea of going there late and register late, queue up late, so he will be behind the queue, though it is very bad of me, but I thought, I cannot never change fate, even if he is fated to get in, no matter where he queue, he will get in. So I gave up the thought and went along with FATE.

We reached there at 7.10am, of cos there was already long queue for registration, but funny thing was when we queued, I still can joke with Mr and laughed.. Looking around if I am the only preggie lining up with husband. Keke.. Queuing for an hour plus, was his turn, I didn't want to queue with him when he reached nearer the counter cos there are cameras everywhere, so I sat at one corner.. hehe.. we went to buy a little breakfast and sat at the chairs outside Taka by the road and wait for 9.30am for them to choose the ball to decide their fate if they are eligible. 9.30am came and Mr saw everyone was moving to queue so he ran there, and I continue to sit here, thinking if I should go infront of the stage to see if he picked the ball, but I chose to sit here and wait for him to bring me the news, cos I was scared.. Nearing his turn he was 125th person to go up, I felt a strong sense that he will get in, as 125th out of 200th is quite a high chance, I already ready to send SMS to Mat to tell her I am leaving Taka alone... I saw Mr go up the stage through a hole from where I sat. And I heard "YOU GOT IN, No. 166" I thought OH, He got in. Then who knows, he called me and said he didn't get in, and I saw him walking out. I couldn't believe and I tot he lied. But truely, he didn't. I felt a moment of Happiness! But I can see he quite sad. But he also told me he go up stage also anyhow choose a ball and had mixed feelings again. But whatever it is, I am not alone! And I don't need to worry about him getting sick or whatever if he gets in! Hurray! But he told me next yr he gonna try again and I cannot follow so he can concentrate on getting the ball, without him worrying I leaving alone back home. :(

Went to see Dr Tan first before going for the class.. Phew! I gained only 1.1 kg.. I was super happy lo, cos Mr don't believe I ate very little nowadays and kept saying he got feeling I will shoot up to 60Kg. But now I was only 56.7Kg. Yay! And my baby surprisingly shot up to 2.39Kg. Good job baby! Everything was fine, except next friday have to do the last ultrasound scan for placenta location and foetal growth to see if she is growing fine and if the brain cyst in her has gone away. The only shocking news I heard from Dr Tan was my placenta previously was low-lying, and this checkup was improving a little and she said might change to a higher position soon, my god! If it doesn't move, means I have to go for C-section! :(

Went for the prenatal class, mentioned in the last blog, Mrs Wong is not here to teach but her Nurse Chong. Saw her face, like not so friendly and jokable like Mrs Wong type. But surprisingly the time passed quite fast, on watching a video how to bathe a baby, breastfeeding. And also hands-on on how to bathe a baby using a toy, and also folding the napkins. I went up to do the hands-on as well quite fun with toy but I doubt it won't be so easy with a real-life baby. :( but I will try.

After the lessons, was touring to the labour ward and observation ward. Observation ward was to admit there in early stage before pushing you to the labour ward. The labour ward was like a small room, with a bed for the mothers, and a sofa seat for daddies, a TV, a radio, a baby "tray", many cabinets where things are stored, and a operation light for stitching. Nurse Chong went through every details with us, what equipment when to use.. The more she said, the more I felt my legs wobbly. I told Mr when we are out of the ward, he also agreed she like scarying us.. The only thing I really afraid is the stitching.. :( Wanna cry already..

Now I have left 1 month to go before I go into labour.. The more I tot of it, the more scary it is.. It was like she has been inside me for 7months plus, and time really flies and very soon she will be out into this world.. Many things ran through my mind, the labour pains, the stitching, will I be a good mummy? So many things... I hope everything will be fine and goes smoothly when she is out.. Who knows, after she is out, I would miss her kicking in my tummy.. keke :)

3rd prenatal Class..

Another sat has arrived for our 3rd lesson at TMC. This time we had a little chauffeur, Mat, who came to my house to pick up old clothes, and took pictures of the goods I wanna sell (NO MONEY LA!). I wanna sell away my toys but when I opened the cupboard, they were all looking at me and telling me.. Please.. Don't sell me away..Please.. :( LOL.. but anyway after lunch, Mat fetch us to TMC and also fetch my mum to my grandma house, as Mat stayed at AMK as well. One stone kill 2 birds.. So thankful to her, if not my mum will be all alone at home as my Dad went for his mahjong game.

We were there early for the first time at 1.45pm. But there isn't any good seats left! All the people there so kiasu! Just pick any seats and sat. As usual, a video will be played. And guess what, the video for the day is the types of birth! In my mind, it wasn't a bad topic, but when the video played, it's seriously SCARY! I can say even more R-rated than last week's (whole body nude while giving birth for the ang mohs). Anyway the first natural birth at home video already put me off. Even Mrs Wong said these videos are really only meant for preggies, if not those non-preggies will be put off by pregnancy.

So, natural birth at home is done by midwives, without using any pain relief methods except for massage and then when cervix become 10cm dilated, the show starts! U can at first see the baby's head..then the woman has to push further, then the baby's face to the chin will show, and then push further, the shoulders and then the whole body is OUT! and quickly bring to the mum's abdomen for her to carry her baby. Imagine I was opening my mouth wide when I see the whole process! Then I told Mr, though it is damn scary, but the tot of it, is so miraculous that a human can come out from underneath and not say a tiny stone.. but a whole human body! :X

The whole videos shows the rest, like using epidural, C-Section where it shows the operation and the baby come out bloody from the stomach (another miraculous act when the doctor pulled out the baby from the stomach), water birth (I tot of adopting this method as I heard only Thomson has this, but I am afraid that the baby will drink water! hehe). Another one was gross, where in natural birth, the mother has actually push the poo out before the baby is out. I know it will happen but I hope it wont happen to me.. cos it will be so embarrassing and don't know how stink it will be! But anyway, after seeing all this, I felt myself prepared for the whole course of giving birth, from pain, to deep breathing to seeing a human coming out from underneath.. And I guess I will also give a tear of happiness when I see her and hug her.. :P

Today's lesson isn't much. More like a exercise revision of pelvic floor strengthening and deep breathing. Only new is Mrs Wong was there to show us the correct method of pushing and the wrong and funny ways of pushing. One wrong way when nurse ask you to PUSH, you don't make the sound of pushing like pushing out your poo, else end of the birth you end up with no voice! This really sets us off laughing loud! After which, Mrs Wong asked all the papas to do the pushing so they know how much pain we women go through.. And making sure the guys are all sweaty and face red after pushing. But end up, all only pretend! Haha..

The last part was for the guys, what to do when you see a preggie on the street and going to give birth (emergency case). Here goes the dialog:

Wong: Do you deliver for the woman?
Guys: No.

Wong: What do you do then?
Guys: Call 995.
Wong: Very good.

Wong: Then! The baby's head is out. What do you do?
Guys: No answer.. LOL
Wong: You don't go and touch people's private area hur! Wait you end up being sued by the woman and the woman can say "Sir, he touched my private part when I am in distress!" (All of us were laughing like mad!). So the answer is ask the woman to pick up her own child and carry it. And of cos you don't ask the woman to strip her clothes to clean dry the baby, take off your own shirt! Haha..

Wong: And when you want to ask her if she is alright, you don't hit her chest else you will be kena sued "Sir he squeezed my breast while I am in distress!". Just pat her back.

I couldn't imagine anyone would be so calm giving instructions when you see such an emergency case. Would you?

How sad when the class was ending, knowing that this is the last lesson with Mrs Wong, as for the next 2 classes she is not free and has to be taught by her nurse. Argh, I guess the class wont be that fun.. Imagine those who came from other hospital just for her, and knowing that next 2 lessons aren't taught by her.. :(

Next sat, is subaru challenge and as usual, Mr will go try it out to see if he has the luck to get in. If he has, it just meant that I have to go to the Doc's appt myself and as well as the 4th prenatal class. Can't help feeling sad.. and having mixed feelings of wanting him to get in and not get in.. Argh... Leave it to fate to see which is more impt.

2nd prenatal class

Last Sat we went for my checkup and as well as prenatal class after. For the first time we were late for 45 mins, but also lucky we don't have to wait for a long time, cos by the time we reached there, patients are almost all gone and Dr Tan has a surgery to do. Now it is really the peak period of giving birth. Every checkup we go Dr Tan always has surgery to attend. Knowing Dr Tan is in a rush, doubt she will speak much, truely, though I gained weight of 2kg for 3 weeks, she didn't say anything. Mr was telling me, Doc also give up on you! So sad.. not as if I wanted to gain so much, and honestly I don't really eat that much now, no tea breaks also. Baby weight's till date is 1.67KG, my mum say wow so small ah! I also wondered if baby will grow to the standard weight when she is full term.. Good thing is baby's head starting to move downwards, after all she isn't that noti apart from kicking me and rolling about in my tummy.. LOL.


The second prenatal class was quite funny, more laughter than the 1st one. Before class started, as usual, Mrs Wong will put up a video, this time was the different kinds of pain relief for giving birth. You can choose from electric current, gas and air, injections to epidural. I find that the way epidural is done really puts me off, though it is said to be the most effective but most people said it will caused backaches. And I always suffer from backaches, imagine if I really took epidural, I can become old woman very soon! :( So in my mind, I decided to use gas and air unless really so pain, I will consider epidural.


Lesson started! Breathing techniques when you are having contractions (pain)! I guess this is the most funny part of the lesson. She demo the breathing techqniue, such that when you are in pain, take a deep breath, and then breathe out. The other was take a deep breath, then pant, pant, blow! So while she was demo this, she asked all the papa to go home try, to shit halfway, and then do the pant, pant, blow, the shit shouldn't be moving but staying there. If it really stayed, means you succeed! Sounds super funny! Maybe those who are reading this can try! LOL!


Then she went to talk about how long a labour should be in, was like 8 hours.. I cannot imagine a pain of 8 hours.. she make it so funny by saying 8 hours are those fast ones, if you happen to be a slow coach, good luck! :( I hope I wasn't one of them, so she asked us to go back to ask our mummies how long she took to give birth to us.. For me was 8 hours! Hoping it does for me as well!


The most enjoyable part is papa get to massage for mama. New massage for the back! And as well as how to massage when in pain in labour ward. Mrs Wong first sentence was, "Find her waist, remember don't ask her where is her waist! Else mama will be so sad!" Haha.. All of us set laughing! But I was thinking when we are in pain, do we still have mood to game for massage.. but anyway, end up she said, papa will keep on massage though hoping to call for help but they won't, so ended up after labour, in the room, not the mama who is tired but is the papa who will be snoring away on the couch due to the excessive help to massage mama.. :P


Before the class ended, Mrs Wong brought us to the nursery to see how she handle the baby. OH MY! Some babies are so small, so cute.. and Mrs Wong chose a baby and showed us the way to carry and she carried like a toy! Swinging the baby here and there, and even holding the baby under her one arm! My god! Scary! But is really cute! I really wondered how small my girl will be... hehe..

First prenatal class

Me and Mr went to our first prenatal class at TMC parent craft, this is something we both looking forward to cos' we both have no idea on how to take care of a baby, or how giving birth gonna look like. So here we are, signed up for the popular consultant, Mrs Wong Boi Boh's class. Have to admit her class is very interesting, not boring, and sent everyone laughing with her expression and words.

Before everyone arrived, she put up a video on how to breastfeed and the benefits. It was really kinda of weird, though everyone is married there, but still seeing the ladies on the video doing breastfeed, does seemed to be a little .. "RA". Hahaz..

The class started off a bit lecture on how preggies should get up from bed, etc. These already set us laughing when she did all those wrong methods.. Next then we have to personally do the exercises she shown us, and she too, get all the Papas to do it as well, and also teaching them how to lift us up in case we don't have the energy to do it oursleves. And I love the hand massage that Papa should help us with, to prevent our hands from being swollen before or after giving birth. Today I realise that my fingers are getting abit of swollen, cos the ring on my finger becomes SO TIGHT! My GOD!

Overall the class is very good, also teach us ladies on how to do proper exercise to prevent backaches, to have a good posture, etc, and also taught Papas how to talk and communicate with baby inside and how to make baby react to their touch.. but ended up, when Mrs Wong asked all the Papas "Did the baby move?" All replied "NO!" haha.. farni.. maybe all the babies are being defiant.. hehe.. when Mr's hands were away, girl girl start to move and kick me during the class.. very noti... :)

We also given lectures on nutrients and the proper diet we have to take. Then when Mrs Wong wanna teach us how to count how much calcium we all have for each day, she decided to pick a quiet one to ask. We were sitting quite infront, and I realise Mrs Wong kept looking at us during the class, and she turned to our direction, I was getting scared.. She suddenly said the lady in green.. then I gave a OH NO expression, then lucky she say the darker green beside me! Wow heng leh! If she gonna ask me, so afraid she said I ate too much! Hahaha...

And oh, she said DON'T GIVE BABY NAME AS OF YET until he/she come to this world, so can only call baby generically. She gave us an example which is super funny, there was this couple who know they got a son, and called him Timothy. When the boy came to this world, the grandparents don't like the name, and decided to call him Joshua. So when they called him Joshua, he has no reaction. Until Mrs Wong came by and asked, "I thought he was called Timothy?" The baby turned his head to Mrs Wong's direction. Haha.. So this tells us that baby are cleverer than we all think.

Can't wait to go to the next lesson... oooohh... Really beneficial, such that now Mr makes an effort every night and morning to talk to girl girl and kiss her.. and also Mr always "scold" me for not following the proper ways to get up from bed, etc.. :x

I went for my monthly checkup at Dr Tan on Sat with Mr. When we reached there, I took my weight as usual. And I already knew that I will be heavier by 3kg and will get "scolding" by Dr Tan. True enough, my weight has gone up to 53.3kg, heavier by 3.3kg..Opps :X

After a little while, another nurse shouted my name, I thought what happened, and she asked me to weigh again, she DON"T BELIEVE I heavier by 3.3kg! Haiz.. she told us that Dr Tan is doing a delivery.. so have to wait, and she asked me if I am hungry, then spilt seconds, she say "aiyo, I still tell you to go eat .. Hahaha.. "

Waited for 2 hours, at last is our turn. Dr Tan's opening will always be "Are you ok?" I answered "OK". Surprisingly she replied "I think you are more than OK, hahaha" (She is looking at my weight records :X). She walked over to me (I was already lying on the "bed"), said "Let's check who is the one gaining so much weight"..
Here's our conversation:
Dr: Baby weight 1.3kg, just nice. (She is implying I am the one gaining the weight)
Dr: You cannot eat rice, mee boon, kuay teow, cakes, sweet stuffs..
Shocking Me: Then eat what?
Dr: Cut down.
Sad Me: Ok.

I was thinking to myself, if I really eat alot and gain so much weight how come baby's weight just nice???!?! Unless she is choosing what to eat inside when the food dropped to her HAHAHA.. This one too fattening I don't want.. This one Fruits! Good! I want! Hahaa..

This morning my alarm went off. And she began to kick and move when she "knew" me and Mr are still lying on bed, don't want to get up. She kept on doing it then I ask Mr to touch.. and he can feel her double kicks.. then suddenly she kick and stay there and drag... Then for that moment I thought Mr pressing on my stomach so hard.. But is not! Is baby "dragging" her feet inside against my stomach walls... MY GOD! This is the first time we both felt this action! So shen qi! Mr quickly asked her don't kick and he will get and go and bathe.. Surprisingly she somehow knew Mr got up the bed and she stopped moving. She is our live alarm! Hahaa.. oooh I love mei mei!

Mummy's birthday..

Girl, today's mummy's birthday.. And I had 2 days of celebration..

Sat we went to see you, and you are living healthily and happily in my tummy and with a strong, steady heartbeat as said by Dr Tan. But mummy has gained 3 kg of weight which is no good, got said by nurse and Dr.. I have to keep to less than 2kg weight gain each month.. if not mummy will be very fat after give birth to you. So Dr advise me to drink HL milk instead of Annum which is too rich for me. And Dr jokingly suggest your daddy finished up the rest of the can for me. Haha.. :P And after which, went back home to laze around until dinner time, as usual, go back to my house for dinner.. Steamboat dinner, such a long time I ever had steamboat dinner!

On Sun morning, my parents treated all of us to Tung Lok ala carte dim sum buffet to celebrate for my early birthday.. I really think Tung Lok's dim sum really nice.. and since it is buffet, my brother decided to order one of each on the list.. haha.. but lucky he didnt do that, but we ate quite alot.. even including a Tom Yam fish for dim sum! After breakfast we all parted, my dad fetch us back to Jurong East home, and me and your daddy packed up to bring me to go to Chinatown to buy some daily needs, and then to Harbourfront to take a little walk before going into Sentosa to watch the Songs of the Sea musical fountain show. It was drizzling so everyone took out umbrella and all the views are being blocked! It's really nonsense when they say the show goes on whether rain or shine, when I see this note I tot ok there is shelter but surprisingly no, and everyone has umbrella and HOW TO SEE THE SHOW?! Stupid right! Anyway we all felt the umbrella really nuisance, so end up everyone watch the show in rain.. To me, the show is not really worth it if we do not have the islander's membership.. the show nt really very fantastic.. but there is a bit of fireworks towards the end.. Home sweet home.. really had a happy and tiring day though time always past so fast..

Today is my actual day! I woke up.. feeling the same.. is always been like this when you actually passed the age of 21 when you feel birthday is like normal other day. So I woke daddy up to go for mac breakfast which mummy promised him to bring to eat.. keke.. and together with your grandma.. after which we went to Kbox to sing song, I really dislike kbox but no choice, only kbox open at 11am. And we are so full, but we still have to go for the Klunch package.. :( but we had a happy time singing, after that we rushed to Jurong point to watch Rat-ta-too-ee.. a very nice animated show.. I enjoyed it alot though we seated quite infront and it made me giddy and beside me sat a man so inconsiderate, his legs crossed over to my seat boundary and made me not enough seat and need to prevent myself from touching his "dirty" SHOE! idiot!

We rushed back to West Coast Jack's Place for dinner which daddy has booked and of cos, a cake.. hehe.. Strawberry chocolate! But sad thing I cant eat beef steak or lamb chop.. what to do.. cos of you in my tummy.. I have to bear with it.. cos mummy want you to be beautiful.. Then after we finished our main course and served with dessert, suddenly the music stopped, I got scared, then I kept asking daddy what happened!!! is it they going to put birthday song?? I DUN WAN! I DUN LIKE! SO PAI SEH!! and I felt a waitress behind me doing something, I asked daddy again.. IS IT GOT PPLE BEHIND ME PREPARING THE CAKE!!! I DUN WAN! and that point I was happily eating a pocky stick from the dessert then I have to stop.. Then the birthday song started!! OMG! lucky we seated at one corner and not in the middle of the restaurant.. else I really dunno hide where.. It's really been a long time I ever heard a birthday song played on player.. :) So touched but embarrassed.. I had a very "full" dinner... BURP! hehe..















When we reached home, daddy say he got surprise for mummy! He asked me to go search for my present in the cupboard! Somewhere I didn't always touched before.

1) One pink mushroom handphone holder hidden in between my T-shirts in one of the pigeon hole.
2) One pink mushroom pillow hidden the side of the cupboard behind his long sleeve shirts.
3) One pink mushroom toy hidden on the top of the shelf behind a stack of candles..

















So happie.. Mummy loves searching for presents! Whatever it is, I had a happy birthday! Thank you daddy!

Inconsiderate man!

Today I went to work alone as Mr need to reach office early, and as usual the train is forever crowded at 8.30am at Clementi. And I missed 3 trains before I can board a less crowded train. When I got in, I got nothing to hold on, though there is one bar infront of me and I just cannot hold it, U KNOW WHY? There is one inconsiderate man leaning against it, and hugging it as if he is a koala bear hugging on the tree! So irritating I really want to scold him, I even try to put my hand infront of him and yet he just act blur didn't see it. Stupid man! And then there is one woman who came in also, and see him like koala bear and she got no choice to stand without holding like me.. then he alighted in commonwealth and comes in another man, and he got the feeling of lying on the stand again, and I quickly put my hands there, but still there is one instance he lie his butt on the stand. I hack care and just put my hand there still, if his back touched my hand, I think I will use my sharp nails and poke him! Haha.. Though I know I am bad, but they are worst! Can't they see a preggie??? I just really cannot stand the KOALA BEAR!! Argh..

Hmm.. it has been some time since I blogged here, cos only once every month then I can get to see my little one..

But anyway, 2 days ago, I had a funny yet warm encounter.. before I off work, an article caught my eyes, it said being pregnant has many benefits such as like people will hold the doors for you, smile at you, being happy for you etc.. Then when I was on my down to the lobby, a lady was rushing past me and into the lift, and she asked me in Chinese if I wanna take the lift and I ran a bit and she said no rush I will wait for you (but she seemed to be in a rush if not she won't be running into the lift right?) Then in the lift, suddenly she say in Chinese again, I will wait for you one, and CONGRATS! OOoh... suddenly I felt so touched, this is the first time in a lift a stranger said congrats to me! Abit kind of embarrassed as well.. hehe.. but she is from the same company as me but different floors.. But anyway I felt happy as well, many has started to notice about the changes in me and started to ask if I am expecting! Hehe.. I guess there is nothing to hide about it.. Feel happy and enjoy the process..

And yes, yesterday while chatting with an ex-colleague of mine, he is too becoming a father soon, and getting married next month, and the due date of their baby was almost near to mine, a week later than mine, and also a GIRL. I was surprised but actually not really, I suspected it.. but I was quite upset that I was telling his wife about my baby etc, and was hoping that she can shared hers too but I only get to know from her husband.. complicated.. But I can understand, sometimes girls are shy about it and don't wish to talk about it but guys are more open to such matter cos being a father is great! Sounds great and happy! Haha. But I really hope that 4 of us can go shopping for baby stuffs, share info, etc, as u know, being first time and no friends are preggies, it is really a lost when you do not know what to get, what to eat, who to share with.. but still, I must say to them, CONGRATS!

Last night, after work, me and Mr rushed home, and went swimming with my new swimsuit! hehe.. but he has to go back to JE to get his trunks. Then we came back to Clementi to swim.. by the time, the sky is dark and when we got into the water, lightnings struck, thunder roared. And start to drizzle.. but we went on swimming until rain seem to get bigger and lightnings becoming more.. The sight of rain dropping when u looked up is nice, like snow.. but we gave up swimming and went up. Mr asked me, is it the older we get, the less bravery we become.. haha.. I replied back fast "Cos we have a bigger responsibility now!" I tot back, and yes, I now don't even dare to do illegal crossing of roads.. cos of my little girl, do not want anything to happen to her... :o) So mummy will protect you! woooh. Sounds so weida! Hehe..

Next Sat, we can get to see her after waiting for a month! Wonder how she has been doing in there..

Her first kick..

Yesterday night I was watching tv lying down.. then as usual I will put my hands over the lower stomach then suddenly I feel a series of "bubbles popping" feeling inside.. which is abit unusual that those I usually feel.. is like a series.. So I quickly ask Mr to touch but the moment he touched, it stopped. Until the second time he touched again, he can FEEL it! The feeling is quite strong, like a "flick" inside the stomach. Very shen qi! Then he told dad the baby can kick one, then dad replied was OF COS LA! Baby so big liao, of cos know how to kick la! haha..

Sometimes make me wonder how come baby will kick inside and wanna kick.. but the feeling is really miraculous.. I like it.. Hope she can kick more.. then I can let everyone feel it.. hehe.. to share the joy.. hehe..

Finally being noticed..

Today, little do I expect, an Indian guy gave up his seat to me!

As usual, ever since I got little princess, I always soothe and rub my stomach, it has like become a mandate action for me. So when I was soothing my stomach, this Indian guy seated one seat away infront of me saw it, and he immediately stand up and let me have his seat, I was STUNNED! And SHY! Then when I was going to sit down, I can sense all eyes on me and the lady beside me, somehow like stared at my little stomach to make sure I am pregnant.. I felt so really embarrassed.. wish he didnt let me have his seat, I rather remained standing. Though it seemed to be funny enough, maybe next time when I on the train, I should do the same action so I can have seats most of the time. Haha! :P

Funny yet embarassing incident..

This morning me and Mr as usual went to work together, and when the train reached BV, there is seat infront of me. Mr asked me to sit.. But I knew behind me there was another preggie standing, her stomach is bigger than mine of cos, then when I was seated, the lady beside the preggie asked me to let the preggie have the seat, I wanted to in the beginning but Mr asked me to sit lah! So I stood up and asked her if she want to have the seat after the lady beside her asked me, and without any delay Mr spoke "She's also pregnant" Then 4 of us was like "creating" a show in the train.. the preggie immediately replied "Oh, you have the seat, yours is more young" Then the lady beside her "Sorry I got no idea she is pregnant also" Then dunno why I felt so embarrassed, then I wondered in this scenario who should be the one who is embarrassed? the lady besides her? cos she wanted to help end up she approached the wrong person(me). Anyway, the ah ma beside me stood up and gave up her seat to the preggie as she is alighting soon. So pai seh.. But happy Mr "fought" the seat for me and princess, but I really don't mind not having to sit down and let the seat to others.. I am fine cos I still managed with the current size.. :) I wonder will the same situation happen again.. hehe.. wish I can just take a private transport.. trains always crowded..

And yes, me and Mr was thinking what English names to give our princess last week, and my little cousin, Charmaine was so excited when she knew I got a baby girl and told me must named like her beginning with "Char".. Before I told Charmaine, I was thinking about names like Charlene, Charlotte, Ashlyn, Alexis (suggested by another cousin of mine), Samantha (means Happy but my aunt say don't wan la, not very soothing to ears, even Charmaine agree), but overall I still like Charlene or Charlotte or Ashlyn, but Mr always counter attack me that this name that name sounds like Blah blah blah.. >:( Ended up, he wanted to name princess EDA TAN(means Happy and Wealthy) and he stood by this name.. Argh.. To me, it sounds like one of those property agent.. and the look of a auntie.. Dunno why... hehe.. Anyway we will wait till she is born and see what her chinese name will be and pick an english name which rhyme with it...

Prince or Princess?

Yesterday Mr accompanied me to do the "big" scan to make sure the baby's major organs are fine.. and much to my surprise, able to see the genitals.. and the gynae without any difficulties, could easily tell us whether is a prince or princess.. the first sentence he said was "See, you can see there is a "V" here which means is a FEMALE" and so, he typed FEMALE on the photo. The whole scanning we really catch no balls on what the gynae is describing when he keeps asking us to see this see that, the only thing I can see was her Nostrils, eye sockets and hands! among other many things like blood vessels, spine, bones, placenta.. etc.. very complicated and "CHIM". The only worrying thing, is when he said there is some crysts in her brain fluid.. which will disappears in the 26th week, ask us not to worry, but I didnt ask further what if it doesn't? maybe I will go check it up on the web instead..

After which, went to see my usual gynae, and she let us hear the heartbeat.. and the sound the baby will make when she moved. And first sentence she asked me was "can you feel her moving" then I was like "Huh? Cannot leh! how to know if she is moving?" She replied "It feels like something is fluttering inside".. I tot over, maybe is THAT! Sometimes i will feel like something in my stomach like a bubble burst feeling.. I tot was wind.. maybe is the baby moving as mentioned by Dr Tan.. Hmmm.. Dunno.. :)

Overall, this checkup was fine for me.. but suddenly got a bit of mixed feelings.. cos Mr always wanted a prince.. and I also wondered who else in our families wanted a prince but didnt dare to say it.. only giving the usual excuse, girl or boy doesn't matter as long as baby is healthy. Really don't know what will happen when princess is out, whether will she get the same treatment as if I now have a prince. Maybe if I get a prince, all the guys can play with him? but anyway now think so much also no use, fact has become a fact unless the gynae made a mistake which I doubt so. Just wanna our princess to be healthy and cute.. Time to change the posters to a baby girl! :)

And any name suggestions feel free...
From Mr, as long as she's healthy I'm very happy. I'm sure she will turn out to be outstanding. Time to prepare for photo taking. ^ ^

Weekends to Batu to celebrate Mr's grandma's birthday. As usual the whole big family gathered.. and as usual, attention is all on Mr's cousin's baby boy. He was cute.. and typically active, but I guess all babies are like this, when they can move, they will try to kick and kick their foot even when drinking milk.

Looking at the baby and the others who are humouring and teasing the baby to make him laugh.. I was thinking to myself, how come I just cant be like them? What will happen when my baby is out? Will I ever make him/her laugh and tease and humour him/her like others? Maybe I am just not too open or not very good with kids yet.. Felt so sad.. but will try to learn.. Hopefully the others will help me to do the humouring and teasing to my baby.. Hehe.. I know for sure will be Cheryl and Charmaine.. Hahaz..

Another cousin of Mr is super noisy and super hyperactive and super.. which I know for sure cannot tahan such kids.. I would not like my kids to be like this, cos it will irriate alot of people and offend alot of people as well.. Due to he is the only boy and youngest in his family, his parents naturally spoilt him and ended up with him having such behaviour.. then tots come to my mind.. "It's really traditional and confirmed that all families wanted to have a boy and all attention will be on boys.. and girls will be neglected." For me, I felt that this thinking is totally wrong, whether is boy or girl, is still our flesh and blood and all needs to be doted on and not biased against. I was still telling Mr's sis that if my kid is like that, I will really smack him infront of people, cos I don't want people to point fingers or think that this kid has no good upbringing. But again, not to be rude, I felt that it might just be the country one lives in or the culture of the family..

Said so much, hopefully I can properly bring up my own kid who will be coming to this world soon..

Mr's first time blogging here. Haha.
Today have to wake up at 8:00a.m. So early for a Saturday.. No choice. Have to go to Thomson Medical Centre for Mrs's checkup. Pretty excited because going to get to see how much our mbb has grown. mbb = mini bb(my wife nickname). Mr = BB, Mrs = bb & our small product = mbb. Complicated isn't it? Nope.

The morning was very rush as I got to drop my mum off at Novena first because today is the opening of one of her friend's kopitiam. After bathing, we move off at 8:45am.
Wah so late already.... Need to get to Thomson by 9 am for appointment. Along the way, we saw a bridal car. Oh Ya! tdy is 070707. Such a unique day to get married. Heard got 700++ pple getting married tdy in Singapore. As fast as I could, after dropping Mum off at Novena, we reached TMC at 9:10. Dropped Mrs off first at dropping point and went to the car park. It was the first time I drove into the car park here. There was this person who asked me to get off. I thought wat was happening.. Then I realised its Valet Parking. Haha. So Pai Seh. Thought he was going to rob me or what. :x. After giving the key to the person, I went in to find Mrs. Along the way, I see so many preggies. Some are so big that I wonder how Mrs will cope with the stomach being so big. Will she topple?

Then we waited for around 30 mins before we went on inside for our appointment with Dr. Tan. Mrs prepared a list to ask the doctor as to what she can eat such as chilled drinks, ice-cream, green tea & etc. Reason being- I have been restricting her on all these. If doctor say ok then I'm fine with it. But in the end, we did not use the list at all. Mrs memorized all i guess. Haha. Dr. Tan says she can drink some chilled drinks & Green Tea and some ice-cream but moderate. I can see Mrs so happy with the answer. Overall, the baby is healthy. Is Now 10 CM long. I can see his/her palm and legs still developing. Today never see him/her do somersaunts or flips, guess the baby is sleeping. We still do not know the gender yet. Hopefully can know it by the next appointment.

We went to take our car at the Valet Parking Counter. Man.. the queue was long. So we went to walk around TMC while waiting for our car to come out. Den we heard a mother singing to her baby. I find it quite amusing but couldn't laugh out loud. Maybe when mbb comes out, I will be the one doing that. OMG!! I'll get Mrs to do that. :P

After taking the car, we proceed to Whampoa for brunch. We had Wanton Mee. Then bought lunch for my sister and her future hubby. Then went to fetch my mum from the kopitiam.

To be continued...

Today me and Mr went for lunch together and dropped by Raffles place clifford Center to look at baby posters which he mentioned there are.. Indeed there are! All so cute but of cos we didn't get the ang mohs one.. Mr prefer Asian.. And we bought only 2.. and they already cost us $7.. Ex right.. just for 2 paper like poster.. Hehehe.. now very money conscious man!

Today is a very busy day for me! When I reached office, everyone seemed to bombard me.. cases and calls telling me "Yvonne, my boss lost his Treo, what should I do?" Hate it! Why bosses like to lose Treo! And cases keep coming, and my irritating boss like to ask me stupid questions and I got so fed up and answered him in a very attitude way and do my own work. He really get on my nerves always!! I think is very hard for me to get happy and light spirit working here, hardly can breathe and inside me keep scolding bad words, and these few days I kept getting Indian cases.. I wonder will my little one be affected and come out scolding bad words??? So afraid.. but what to do! My line, I cant keep happy and light spirit!!! Help!

Only when I get home, Mr is there to make me laugh and I get real tired and just want to lie on the bed and sleep and doing nothing.. now the room is in a mess, always wanted to help to clear up but tired is always on me... WHY!! And even bad dreams every night.. Am I being stressed???

Our first little one..

This will be our new blog, specially dedicated to my little one inside me. It has been slightly over 3 months and now things seemed to be improving, appetite especially, morning sickness getting lesser, but mood swings seemed to coming to get me.. Just like yesterday, before I go to work, I put on a blouse and it's so tight around my tummy and I got so peck che about it, cos I got no more clothes and I haven't gone to buy it. So I just throw the shirt on the bed and after which I slammed the door.. Dunno why I did that.. :P And ended up, my MR called me "Peck Che woman".. make me more angry.. dun even feel like stepping out of the house, and made me so determined Sat's shopping spree must be a good one!

Next sat will be my next checkup after a month, looking forward to it so that we can see our little one, doing somersaults, moving around inside.. or even waving at us.. really looking forward to it.. but will we know the gender? Sometimes it's really a dilema whether to know or not to know.. for me, I am quite neutral whether is a boy or ger.. but for MR, he wants a boy.. reason he no tell me.. ._.

Yesterday night I was walking to the kitchen to take a drink, MR was behind me, and suddenly he say I looked cute, being a 小小孕妇.. Saar.. me being small size carrying a big tummy.. anyway I still cannot succumb to the idea of me like that.. even to the extent that a living human is growing inside me.. life is really full of miracles.. a human in a human.. and after 9 months he/she will be out and grow to be like one of us.. Will we feel weird being called Mummy and Daddy? Sometimes I will go crazy thinking of all these, afraid I cannot be a good Mummy, not able to cook for him/her, do alot of things for him/her.. but at times, I wish I can give birth now, to end all the sufferings, and quickly see the little one, but people said pregnancy is very enjoyable.. but I dun feel it at all, only to feel so fatigued and full of headaches everyday. Maybe I will enjoy it when I can feel him/her doing kungfu inside.. waiting for it to come..

Also to thank my Mr for doing all the household chores, even washing my clothes for me.. and making milk for me.. I enjoyed living like a princess.. Nono, a preggie princess.. Hehe.. Like Fiona and Shrek.. Wahahaa..

Of cos, we will start to post the photos of our little one here after our next week visit.. So next time when he/she knows how to read, he/she can see how he/she actually look like when he/she is so small like a pea inside me..:)
