Can you hear me?

While I was just pondering if HBB can hear me.. or whats gg on ard me.. I tink more or less she can!
Why do I think so?

The other day.. when big mac suddenly open the toilet door... HBB jumped in mmy tummy.. I tot it was a coincidence...
Then as I spoke to her.. asking her for kicks if she is awake... she did it!
And today... she seems to be able to hear the noise created while the train was travellling in the tunnel!!!
Both times when I was int he train today... the initial part.. she keep figetting in my tummy

AMAZING!

And she is 1 big fussy girl I think... Many times.. I try to sit up, leaning my body more forward than usual.. I think this position cramp up her space in the tummy... and she keep kicking for space! Seems like she dun allow mummy to sit up leaning forward.. but too bad u haven got a choice girl.... if u haven gt any space in thr... u move urself ard n find space k? haaaaa
3 1/2 to 4 mth more before u can wriggle urself out.... so make do with the space now hee.. be a good girl yea...

yes its v fast.. its like 3 1/2 to 4 mths more... in no time it will be 2 1/2 mths n etc.... i shldnt be counting down as yet cos i have got 101 thgs UNDONE!

That Hard Kick

I always wonder if that certain hard kick which jerks me up I get occassionaly.. is it my muscle knots.. or is it HBB kicking.. since is not always constant
I get it mostly when I moved from lying down position to sitting up position in morning.

While it had not happended for many days already..suddenly this morning I thought of 'testing' HBB. Usualy when I wake up.. I will call for her... I will asked if she is awake.. if she is, I prob can feel her movement, she is realy active.. I will call her a couple of time while I nuaz in bed.
Tis mornign after calling out to her as usual... as I was sitting up I told her to kick mi gently if she is awake... was about to tell her I dun want the hard kick that jerk me up... .I was only half way thru the sentence... she jerk me AGAIN! She can read my mind or wat?!?! Grrrrrr... of cos I jumped up lar... this girl... she realy like to play tricks on me...

yesterday she was moving about while we watch tv.. so I ask big mac to put his hand thr to feel... and yes he felt her moving.. sounds fun huh? hehe.. yes the movement is fun indeed... bet tis will be the part I miss most after HBB is born...

I was reading the book Mei had sent me. on what to expect for the 1st year.
Coincidentally... .some stuff I been doing (which I tot might be silly) was mentioned in the book.
Like when I change.. I will tell Hbb.. mummy gg to get change and where we are going...
when I am cooking.. I will tell her what are the steps to do.. like gg to wash the vege 1st then cut.. or wat seasoning am I adding...
even when i eat I try to tell her what am I eating...
seems like the book actually encourages us to do so... hee..

now I dun feel silly anymore =p

While I am blogging this entry... the active lil burger is moving in thr... she is probably hinting its time for mi to go grocery shopping liao...

5th Gynae Visit @ week 22

Finally its the visit to gynae again.. .I said finally becos, its been 6 weeks excluding the detail scan that I last seen the gynae... We waited for this 6 weeks to passed so hard that I think we almost turn into a giraffe.

Main thing to know this visit is how the detailed scan turns out to be. Thou by right everything should be normal.

It was raining lightly, but I still walked my way over to the hospital since Big Mac is probably on his way from office. I was half hour early and I thought I could have had my lunch 1st before I see the doc. Who knows everythg was too fast today.. I waited ZERO mins for the doc... instead he was waiting for me haha... and obviously Big Mac hasnt arrived. oh well...

As usual.. spent about 5 mins in thr.. alone this round of cos. and doc read the scan report and confirm all is well. Also again he confirm fr the report that baby is a SHE. hehe... oh yes we got her name ready anyway =)
And she is weighint 517g as of now. ... I thought is pretty big for a 22 weeks baby... and no wonder she can kick mi so hard!

I had some time to shop ard while waiting for Big Mac to pick me... I was lured by the disney stuff in Mothercare once again.. its on offer! gosh.. but well it helps that I alread bought 2 similar colour n prints 2 to 3 mths back.. and I restricted myself from buying haaa... ok if i got next round and Big Mac say yes.. I might jus buy it haha

Next visit will be in 4 weeks time.. Hope Big Mac can make it to see HBB then.. He is probably kind of disappointed that he did not get to see her today despite the effort made.
But last night.. I showed him sth funny... HBB movement... haha
I placed the remote control on top of my tummy n waited for HBB solo performance... While the remote control thump sloooowly according to my heart beat... suddenly big jerks could be seen .. u know.. when U watch Jurassic Park.. where the dinosaur is walking pass.. those jerks on the floors it created.. yes.. same thg.. HBB kicked/box me that hard! That the control jerk around!

Based on the scan, her head seems to be on my right side.. so meaning the feet are on the left since Doc said she haven turned heads down yet. I begin to wonder is she trying to mimick me playing golf when I feel hard jerk on the right side now. She jus gave me a hard one jus now that I jump!
I am trying to imagine how hard it will be as time passes and when she grow bigger with lesser space in there

As of today.. mummy weighs 55.6kg.. thats 900g hevier than 2 weeks ago!

Detailed Scan @ Week 20

Today is the day of detailed scan.
Mainly to see HBB little fine details like hands, arms, legs, body, skull, spine, organs etc...
HBB wasnt cooperative today. She was in a face down position.. my 1st encounter with such! she is usualy on her back.. so I guess she is more active now that she can do funny position...
Facing down, while being scanned make me feel like I have a little dinosaur inside due to the spine shape haha
Quite cute looking.

Becos the sonar wasnt able to see her nasal bone as well as lips, we were asked to go take a walk and go bk shortly to se eif she will flip over...
I "bribed" her w a piece of papaya... originaly I was thinking of cheeseake but... I tot papaya is better haha..
The bribe works a little only.. she onli turn a bit.. or prob is becos I was walking about that why she turned... But its good enuff to get the scan done n over... I almost doze off while the scanning was carried out...

At least now I know HBB is growing normally hehe.. nottie little one... she been kicking in the morning ard 6ish almost everyday
she is an early bird.. not a bad thing thou...

and yes I weigh 54.7kg as of today... From 52.3kg.. so thats a near 2.5kg increase in 4 weeks.. Oh GOSH...

cheesecake

Mummy's favourite is always cheese... I can eat all kind of cheese jus like that... ANd I am already missing them already since I do not know which type of cheese is ok to eat and which are not. Afterall I realy like certain soft cheese..

To get the cheesey feelign inf ood.. I began to tink of cheeseballs.. its nto a craving.. but seems like a substitute but I am determine not to eat them as I tot they are pretty high in msg n etc... Until someone mention cheesecake!!! Arghhhhhhhhhhh New York cheesecake... Last week Big Mac brought 'us' to sentosa and finaly I had my 1st ever piece of cheesecake since pregnancy... its HEAVENLY!!!!

And today AGAIN he brought 'us' for cheesecake.

I had my 1st fitball class at Birth and Beyond and I must say the instructor is very good. I was late for like half hour due to misleading address.. and yet I managed to have a pretty good work out(my arms n legs are aching already!) and she was very informative on hw to ease pain during delivery n etc. Oh yes she is an ang moh... hehe.. and so I tink her ways of relieving pain n etc is more on the western way which I think I prefered. hehe. I will sign on a package aft I used up the remaining last class Serene passed me.
At the $220 for 10 classes, price is pretty steep but tis for like 1 1/2 hour or more. And instructor is good.. I guess it should be quite worth while.

Today I had my 1st body treatment at Clarins too after Mei recommended it to me. Big Mac sponsored me to this treatment as I tot I wanted a massage. Priced at $200 for a 75 min session. I was hesitant to go at 1st.. for the price I can do like 3 times at Spa sauvignon our usual spa.
Unfortunately I find the massage a tit too light... Yea I know I can't have hard massage now but the feeling was like jus gently touching with the aid of product to prevent stretchmarks n etc.
They are very generous with the use of the product... I tink they easily used up like 1/3 tube of stretch mark cream on me!
Stuff like tonic oil, anti-eau oil, bust lotion are also used.
At the end of the session I felt more tired haha.. mayb cos i realy din feel the real massage... but it was a real treat for my body which have very dry skin.
Big Mac had offered to let mi go every month for this treatment but I guess I can easily do it at home yea? Just buy the product.. the few pdt they used easily add up to 200 bucks and I can do it many times w the amt of money... so it shall be so!

He brought us for cheesecake before we embarked on a shopping spree for HBB. Bought some necessaity for HBB and we had Crystal Jade Korean BBQ.. hehe...

and yes.. I put on 3kg tis week.. tsk tsk
