moody again

since last week my mood went hay wire again.. feeling so depress... esp when im alone at home..
I just cry whenever like... it feels weird... I will start at my tum tum n cry hoping HBB will give mi a hug n console me...

Maybe Im too depress.. end up I had a short dream of HBB... swaddling in the blanket lookin at me innocently... maybe thats whats she is doing in my tummy while im feeling sad.. wondering why is mummy so sad..... I also dunno why am I sad... sigh...

3 more mth to see HBB...

Dr. Robert C. Titzer’s Goodies

I been aiming at this range of reading material for as long as I could remember at Takashimaya as well as Tangs..
There was once Dr. Robert was in town for a workshop on teaching kids to read but I sort of miss it.. (that was way before I was preggy haha)

I know there are quite a few good 'teachers' on such reading material.. another 1 such is by Glenn Doman.. which I have yet to find out more.

Anyway... back to this...
Procastinating between the set of 5 DVD or VCD is 1 main problem as obviously DVDs cost much more... but dear said it will last longer (I hope so)



Then there is 2 different kind of flash cards(set of 2 each).. 1 with words only while the other comes with sentence n pictures... again dilema



And there is this set of 5 books...

Zzzz...

NO prize for guessing right which one I bought (U can guess I bought them all)

Im a kiasu mama... this is not my 1st educational stuff I got for HBB... we already got her the Leap frog touch pad with all the story books available for her! and also the magnetic phonics fridge set as well as the 3 letter set.

I hope she will read fast!!!! And in no time read the menu with us in the restaurant!!!

6th Gynae Visit 2 week 25/26

The reason why I titled this post to week 25/26 is becos I tot based on my EDD I should be in week 25.. but Prof Tee said im in week 26... haa so i also duno which week I am now already...

Anyway... My appt is suposed to b nxt monday. However cos Im down with flu n fever (yes again!!) and Hbb haven been moving much since monday.. I decided that I shall go to the gynae few days earlier.

Since monday.. I been feeling tummy very hard.. like HBB trying to squeeze herself in the middle of the tummy... after which I realise she doesnt move as much anymore! on tues/weds she realy din move much despite hw much I pleaded with her.. I COAXED HER WITH SINGING, TALKING.. WALKING, JUMPING... but she doesnt stir much!
worrying!! esp so when she is a hyper active girl.. and suddenly nomovement.. like 80% reduction.. I was so worried I tink Im almost in tears esp when Im alone at home..
Worrying she play too much in there n get entangled w the cord n etc.. sigh...

But I did suspect she chg her position on monday thou...
and well I think I was kind of right.. thou surprised!
Cos I thought she prob chg to vertical position..
but yesterday during the scan.. seems like her head is on the left side now instead of the right..
I seriously wonder how she does it?!! she is more than 30cm long already... hw to squeeze herself that much to chg fr right to left huh? OMG
And Prof Tee sanned her to make sure everythg is ok... and there she goes..waving at us in the tummy as shown inthe scan.. nottie girl! make mi so worried.. but at the very least she is fine.. phew...
The doctor said mayb i am sick and thats y affected her movement a little.. I certainly hope tats the reason...

the little fella is now 800g... up from the 500odd grams 3 1/2 weeks back.. while mummy have gain 1.2 kg to 56.8kg... ok my weight is not too drastically increased.. perhaps due to my lousy appetite.. but doctor say its alrite as HBB is growing well... yes certainly very well haha... so well that she pulling pranks on me!

As im down with flu n fever again this week... I have no choice but to take the panadol n flu tablets again... since I dun want to get more sick than ever n affect HBB in anyway... I hope aft 2 days of medication I can recover.. unfortunately I tink I still is very sick at this point of time... sigh..

I try to cover myself with my quilt n sweat out to feel better... but somewhat I dun feel safe cos I worry the high temp (before i sweat) will hurt HBB... and true enuff before I sweat.she be busy figetting n there... but aft I sweat it out.. she is all at peace.. sleeping I guess haha...

HBB.. so sorry I gotto take medication... I must recover soon else when daddy big mac flies off no one take care of sickly mummy... endure ok!!!

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...
