Our Babymoon

Big Mac and I been talking bout having a holiday before HBB is born... and we been delaying it due to work n etc...



Also due to all the political unrest in neighbouring countries like BKK... unsafe places like Malaysia... and I am a lazy bum who din wan to go further like Australia n etc... we decided to go Batam or Bintan again (1st time for the year thou)



I had choose Bintan while Big Mac had perhaps prefered Batam.. and oh ok.. I give in haha...



Choosing to stay at Harris as we have never been there before.. leaving Holiday Inn for nxt trip with HBB =)



Service at Harris is good! thou the place is a bit ehhh ulu... haha.. too hot n humid too due to the freaking weather! Imagine I feel liek fainting when I ijust reach there due to the heat n poor air circulation.

Literally no wind at all.. and for once i feel the water in the swimming pool are HOT...
I had 2 good days of swimming plus massage... did a little shopping.. for who else but our dear HBB... got her 3 pairs of cutie soft shoes.. but seriously they are a bit too big for her now .. at least till 10 mth old I think... but im happy w the buy cos they r realy sweet n not forgetting CHEAP... the freaking shoes in SG cost at least 20 bucks a pair.. and I got them at half the price!
Kids outgrow their clothes n shoes fast and thus I realy dun wan to spurge too much on such thg... thou they do deserve good stuff once a while.

Anyway its my 1st time swimming since having HBB.. it feels jus the same as not preggy haha.. cos in the water the tummy is literaly weightless... and I cant even feel her kick hehe.. but when I put my hand on tummy i could feel with my hands all the vigourous movement in tummy.. I think she could sense that she is 'in' a different environment... she is cute lar!!!! I bet she enjoy this trip very much and we look forward to bringing her to the resort in REAL nxt time round... bet it be fun.. of cos that might means I cant go massage so readily anymore HAHA

7th Gynae visit week 29+

Its time to see HBB again

this time round time seems to pass faster thou its still 4 week wait maybe cos Big Mac went overseas for 2 weeks and I sneaked off to BKK haaa



Anyway...

our dear HBB is btw 1.3-1.4kg.. grown quite abit since the last month(800grams)... no wonder I can feel her more n more nowadays... she is literally active whenever im awake.. walking n etc... lucky thing she lets mi sleep at night without bothering me haha

And yes.. her head is now in the middle of my tummy while her little leggies ate on the upper right side of the ribs
So many times I can see my right side of the tummy bigger than the left...
ands quite embarassing sometimes I think when I wear tight fitting clothes n go out with her doing her "marches".. then my tummy go left right left right left right left... LOL

While I voice out my concern of no appetite.. Prof Tee said its ok (expected such an answer) cos she is growing well... Oh well.. since he said so LOL

For myself, I have been having the Braxton Hicks Contraction which sometimes give mi much pain till I thought HBB is coming out.. he have prescribed Nifedipine for me to be taken 3 times a day. He did mention is a medication that is used for hypertension... and so Im kind of worried since my BP is always on the lower side. And also.. I am worried if I control the contraction now.. later on when near EDD I dun get any contraction then how?!?!?!?!? no contraction higher chance of C sect.. somethg which I want to avoid... Luckily the pharmacist said if I feel ok I can dun take it and so I am controlling myself on this... not starting on it until if I get bad contraction.

We also signed our admission package today... for 3 days 2 night of stay in a 1 bedder ward under the premier package.. we have to pay about 2.4k in cash.... and well that is if I dun exceed anything! If i exceed say labour of more than 8 hours... additonal charges applies
OMG... giving birth is ex! Oh ya.. the bill dun include HBB nursery bill ok!!
the duno hw many K govt give as cash gift isnt gg to be enuff manz!
I kind of freak out and almost wanted to downgrade to 4 bedder.. but Big Mac said I can always opt for 4 bedder NEXT TIME!
what next time? gosh.. he sure think very far... #2? OMG...
I hope HBB be good.. dun delay too long.. dun need much thing in hospital.. so we can save some cash LOL...

Last but not least.. I now weight 58.1kg.. 1.3kg increase since last gynae visit. not too bad huh esp when HBB gain about 600 gram... hehe.. im happy with everything... Just hope whatever I expect of Big Mac will be there... sometimes Big Mac make mi sadz... haiz... and I onli can 'hug' HBB n cry...

and Im seeing gynae in 3 weeks time! thats an indication I can see HBB very soon IN REAL!

Short Getaway

I had a short getaway to Bangkok on monday... HBB 1st trip(in my tummy of cos)!!!
It was a last min trip... as Big Mac was away on biz trip for near 2 weeks... and im getting bored up at home.. Happened to be my gf is gg to BKK to work for a night... and I thought it be nice to tag along(she jio mi so many times but I nvr once made it to go w her!)

1 phone call to Big Mac 'asking' for permission... since BKK have been having riots fairly often... and dear gave green light! wow...
Now the big prob is.. its onli for a night.. I do feel that its not justifiable to buy an SQ ticket to tag along! Luckily there is such thg as redemptionof miles! YAY!... paying $100+... for tax n surcharges.. I managed to secure a ticket and fly over to BKK!!

HBB is obviously excited (on the plane).. bet she haven heard the engine sound as yet until Monday... where she started to figet n kick when the engine of the plane came on.
And it lasted thru out the whole 2 hour flight! gosh....
But well at least she 'behave'... din make mi puke or what on the plane haaa

Some 3 hours later.. we arrived at Sheraton Hotel in BKK. and there we go... our shopping starts!

Bought some realy nice nursing bra at attractive prices.. wacoal have got pretty cheap ones too...
kind of good deal!!
Kiddy stuff arent cheap unless u go for the not so good material and so Hbb got almostnothg.. but hey! she got her 1st wacoal undies! haha... named Little Wacoal... its a set of 7 pcs of undies which i been looking for so she can wear them under the cute dresses.
For just near $15SGD.. its realy a steal!!

And I got my durian chips stock up!! how nice!!!

A trip to BKK for jus a night... barely 48 hours! its just like taking a ride to JB for shopping and stay over nite.. HAHA.. its fun!!
Not very tiring thou I walked quite a fair bit... and I think Im realy recharged... hehe...

Meanwhile my passport is waiting to get 'stamped' again end of the month where I will have a get away with Big Mac over the weekends... YiPEE!

Baby, Can U understand?

Sometimes I wonder hw much does a baby understand our words...
Many times I noticed HBB seemed to follow my instruction...

She is such an active baby.. she is more or less kicking n moving quite obviously when Im awake..
When I am gg to nap or sleep.. I tell her.. mummy need to sleep already.. its nite time.. Baby also must sleep till nxt morning.. dun move so much aleady... after I sing her twinkle twinkle.. and then say good nite not forgetting to 'hug' her.. and also on big mac behalf .. a hug is given to her... she jus stop moving that much!!!!! and perhaps went to sleep.. if i dont do all this before i sleep... she will move n move... weird huh?

When she move too much n I think she is prob hungry or thirsty (ya i now she wun feel thirsty haha) I will promise her food or drink in a while.. she will stop moving... until I forget bout it.. she seem to prompt me hard by moving.. haha she wans food!!!!!

Last nite I promised her story telling (I been reading aloud to her on n off).. she also seem to b waiting... waited till near midnite and I total forgot bout it... untill she protested.. haha.. when I read to her she seem much calmer n enjoyed it.. after which she jus simple stop fidgetting ..

CUTE huh?

I hope she can realy understand n take instruction.. and when she is born life will be easier... for me and Big Mac

Hope Big Mac can start reading to HBB too... she need to listen to his voice lar!!!

Meanwhile.... Big Mac been away for more than a week already... while he is away.. I am gg to bring HBB (in my tummy) to BKK for a short shopping spree hehe... She must be very excited!!!

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!!!
