Happy Moo Moo Year

Its the year of the Ox at last! the year where our little precious HBB will be born... so HBB is a little Ox/cow depending on wat the gender shall be.. tentatively hbb shall be a cow haha

Hbb got her 1st angpow from who else but her beloved papa big mac.
Actually earlier on I was still tinking of teasing big mac bout giving Hbb an ang pow, but I was too tired to tease due to my excessive cooking sessions. Who knows he seemed to have read my mind.. or perhaps great mind thinks alike hehe.. He gave me 2 ang pow.. 1 for myself of cos and 1 for hbb... lucky girl!

I am entering week 18 this week.. officialy 4 mths?
Anyway Hbb haven been moving (I cant feel) for 2 to 3 days.. tot whats wrong with her... finaly just now after dinner she move a little... the gentle flutterin came bk once more... I started talking to her ask her to kick more so I can feel.. and the nottie girl stop! Grrrr.... when I went bk to my comp.. she start again... before gg bk to sleep(i tink) again...
Perhaps she is enjoying the chocolate her godma gave me earlier and got all excited and therefore started kicking haha
Think she is as tired as me for the past few days so no movement hehe..

5 more mths to go before I get to cradle her in my arms.. very excited.. that prompts me to go for my fit ball n yoga class sooooonnn

Thinking of names too. Of cos big mac shld b doing the job.. cos I entrusted him this job but I seriously doubt if he is working on it... I wan a nice name, a special name.. im greedy... afterall how often do u get to name a child rite?
then I decided... Hbb will have 2 english name in the birth cert.. example will be 'Anna Joe Han+chinese name'
So it will makes sense that papa give 1 name n mama giv 1.. and the chinese one we let te feng shui master count the strokes and decide. FAIR N SQUARE haaa...
I already have 2 name in mind.. rather similar name.. but I tink I shall use the 1st one.. but will discuss w big mac first... so now I need Big Mac's input!!!!
I choose a name that symbplises both big mac and me..
the 2nd name includes hbb too.. and so...
BIG MAC
hurry up!! I need the names!!!! I need to talk to hbb and call her by the name hahahaa

And I got my NUK bottles from BHG today.. 2 big and 2 small ones for $26.. what a bargain! Originally, It cost like $9plus per bottle ... im a happy mummy

Shopping

we had began shopping around for HBB stuff quite a while ago... the 1st to be bought were stuff like stroller and car seat which we tink is good investment since its gg to last us for quite a while.
And it was a bargain when we bought it...

We got quite a bit of hand me downs such as cots, tubs n etc which is simply great as it means savings for us. And the 1 othr big item I tot we realy need to buy will be a milk pump as I hope to BF HBB as long as possible.
Over this 1 yr or so.. I have heard, and seen how various pumps works.. the efficiency.. and not forgetting the price.
Good things sure comes w a hefty price tag. Esp for people like me who want to BF, and yet worry my supply will b low.
It seems like, there is a difference in what pump u use when ur supply is low..
And I have decided on Medela PIS. As I have personally seen how much the out put it gives compared to other brands such as ameda and avent.
Its costly indeed.. near 700SGD here.. .and for me.. who wants to stop at 1... its definitely too expensive.
Luckily Big Mac went to the States(he's still thr!) and could get the PIS at a cheaper rate. I tink it cost like $260USD. which is about $400SGD..
I had the option of buying Medela freestyle, but it cost like $150 more. and so I tot better not. After all its the same except this is a newer model and I dun realy need the memory function.
Going to ask Big Mac to buy the parts as spare just in case... as its very ex to buy them in sg also.

Big Mac have really gone crazy shopping there for HBB... I guess literally 70% of the stuff is for HBB.. and 20% are tompang by friends leaving onli 10% for both himself n me...

He gotten the leap frog touchpad too. YIPPY!!... why am I more excited than HBB?? HAHA

Actualy Im more excited on Big Mac's home coming. I been very depressed since he left and all I could do is 'hug' HBB and cry. Indeed its not healthy.. but somehow.. the hormones at work.. sigh...
I talk to hbb everyday.. when I poo, when i drive, when I bath, before I sleep, before I eat. Even before I call Big Mac hehe...
hope HBB understand my rattling...
and Big mac had better start talking to HBB soon!

Im already in my 15th week.. based on my EDD... MS is subsiding at long last. I hope its gg away for good HAHA.
i eat lesser meal now.. sometimes I dun even feel hungry.. weird.. is it stress??
