Princess Diary

Reina and her alphabets

2009-11-29T21:41:00.003+08:00

After making Rayden and Caden sleep, me and my dear will try to make Reina sleep. Reina is like an owl, she is always the last to sleep and will always want to watch TV before she go to bed.

Just now while in bed, I was talking to Reina. And I was surprise that she knows the phonics of A-Z. Thanks to Leapfrong Phonics DVD. She really learn it from there. And while telling me the phonics, she still show me the action of the alphabets in the cartoon. Who says TV is no good for kids?!!

Then she start to tell me A for Apple, B for books.... K for King....... When comes to O, she paused.
Daddy: O stands for Octopus
Reina: I thought is for Orange??
Daddy: Okay, it can be orange also...
Mummy: .....

Reina: P for (paused)
Daddy: P is for papaya!!!
Reina: Papaya?! papa-ya is you (pointing to her papa)
Daddy: yes. P for papaya.
Mummy turn to daddy: Later she thought you are mu gua! hahaha

Then comes to Q, she paused again.
Daddy: Papa is King, so mummy is a Queen!
Reina: no.... mummy is a Princess!
Daddy: No la.. Mummy is a queen and you are our princess.
Reina: Nooooo Mummy is a princess!!!

The birth of Rayden 17th Nov 2009

2009-11-20T09:54:00.004+08:00

Rayden has made his surprise arrival 17th November night.

Around 3plus in the afternoon, I am still playing Cafe World and my dear is checking the time info of the movie "2012". We intend to get the 10am show in Tampines Mall the next day.

After that, he was hungry and ask me to accompany him to the new coffeeshop for his lunch. I was reluctant to go initially as i prefer to lie there and play games... then suddenly something cross my mind that I might deliver anytime so better play something sinful which i cant eat after my delivery. So I went to have the "wu xiang".

Around 6plus, fetch my gal in school with my dear. Eat dinner at my mum house.

At 8pm, ask my children to go home. Reina told us that she want to stay at popo house. And my boy head to the shoe rack to take his shoes to go home...

Together with my mum, we go downstairs as Reina want to play ball in the open space downstairs. I play for 15 mins with them.

At 8.30pm, I went into the car and my dear is busy stripping Caden on his car seat. We are still arguing on something about the milk and suddenly I told my dear " Ah! my water bag burst!!"

My dear checked on me and " Oh shit! its real!" He thought I am kidding him.... Then he go back to Caden again and bring him back to my daddy. He wanted to drive me to the hospital but i refuse. I insist to go home together with him then to hospital.

9.10pm, I reached MAH. A staff wheeled me to the labour ward and my dear parked his car. Once i reached the ward, the nurses commented that " Wow you are all flooded". hahaha

In the ward, I am striped into the CTG and showing about 3 min contraction and went t0 above 120. And I didnt feel pain at all...

I am pushed to the OT at 10pm. Waiting for Dr Ong to be here.

10.25pm, Doc Ong has arrived.

Dr Ong: So the baby decide to give everyone a surprise eh

Me: I am worried abt his weight

Dr Ong: Okay, we will called a standby doc

While Dr Ong was working on me, Dr Simon Ng arrived in 15 mins. Wow thats fast.

10.50pm: Baby Rayden give me a loud cry

Happy Birthday, dearest!First look, reminds me of Caden

Happy 31st Birthday to myself!!!

Celebration with my dear the previous day and with my whole family on the actual day.

With Brother and da shao, sis and Kester, mum and dad and my own famly of 4 or 5???

Week 23

2009-08-15T11:25:00.003+08:00

It has been a long, tough and tedious journey of 23 weeks.

This pregnancy is the worst of the 3. Each pregnancy has more and more problems. I guess my body is weak. Just wondering how people can have 10 pregnancies.

Carrying Reina is the best. Smooth sailing all the way to week 40. Even when delivering her doesnt give me much effort.

Then comes to Caden, I have spotting on and off for the 1st trimester. Then week 33, Caden move his head up and I have to end up C section.

and lastly, this little boy of mine, I have bleeding early in my pregnancy and spot all the way to week 14. Then week 19, suddenly having heavy bleeding and ended up in 6 days hospitalisation. Dr Ong give me 60 days Hospitalisation Leave till end of Sept. Although there is no bleeding now, but I can still feel the contraction sometimes. Very often, I am having cramps. It actually worry me becuase I dont want go into labour so early in my pregnancy. Baby is not safe if I deliver him now. I hope that I can drag till at else my week 35. At else I know I am really in my safe zone. But that will be another 12 weeks from now. 12 weeks seems to be so long... how to endure????

I wish I can try VBAC this time. I will be disappointed if I cant have one. Dr Ong told me that this really depends on situation. He can only discuss with me towards the end of my pregnancy. I started to read on articles of VBAC recently since I am at home. Now I know what "situation" that Dr Ong means. In order to have VBAC, baby must be all ready for delivery, he cannot be more than 3kg and definitely no induction. Else there is a chance of uterus rupture. Delivery must start off naturally which means contraction must start off by itself. I read from somewhere that if the waterbag burst without triggering any contraction, then u will need go directly to OT.

I have a feeling that it is another section again. Because I feel that he will not turn down like his gor gor. All along he has been stepping on me. And plus the above, I think is not easy.. need tian shi, di li, ren he... So to have VBAC sound to be a gone case for me. Moverover, I hope to deliver him around mid of November, becuase I want to go to the wedding of my close cousin.

However, there will be an advantage for another cesearian again. Because Dr Ong told me that I can get rid of my irritating keloids from my 1st pregnancy. Well, this stupid keloids is getting bigger and bigger and is so itchy. From my 2nd cesear, he can remove my keloids and flatten it.
But I hate to go through the pain again. I still can remember the nightmare of my 1st 5 days in hospital after my C section. But I can forget about the labour pain when delivering Reina after my confinement. You can see how much I am tramatized by the operation. hahaha...

Whatever it is, I will be happy to accept it as long as I can carry my little boy to week 35.

I have super cramps yesterday that freak me out. I try to rest on bed as much as possible yesterday but it doesnt seems to go off. Imagine, even I am waken up by the cramps during my afternoon nap. It went off in the evening but come back again at night. so irritating. I hope that that is not contraction. Wondering if my gynae got a super pill for me to stop all these cramps. Now I am taking ventolin 3 times a day. It will be another 6 weeks till I go back to work. By then, I will be in my week 30. Hopefully by then, everything will settle down.

I feel sorry for my children because I am unable to bring them go kai kai. They must be dead boring at home. Then my dear husband knocked my head saying that there will be plenty of time after my delivery. hahaha..... But then, how to manage to bring 3 little kids out with only 4 hands??

Lets dun think too much. Now, I just hope i can get rid of my cramps and contraction. 12 weeks to my safe zone.. Jia you!

Caden, my cheeky prince

2009-07-13T11:49:00.004+08:00

Caden Boy is 15 mths now.

But he still drools alot.. haha... Dr Tan told me that he may drool till 4 to 5 yrs old.. WHAT!!
She told me he will have speech delay because he still cannot control his mouth muscle properly..
I thought Caden will learn to talk even later then his sister who only start to say something in her 18-20 mths.

At Caden's 14 -15th month, he start to say a few words like :
- Apple (his first word)
- Ball ball
- Car
- Star
- bird
- Fish (he say s-s)
- ta ta (means beat beat in Chinese)
- lizard ( he say zi-zard)

yesterday morning, I am woken up by a series of "mama" sound... when I open my eyes, Caden was lying there playing his fingers and mumbling "mama... mama.... mama... mama........" When he sees me open my eyes, he smile at me and say "mama... mama" again... Although I am still half awake, I stretch my hands over, pull him to me and kiss him on his cheek and say " Good morning, darling!" What a way to wake mummy up...

It is a sweet sunday morning!

A brief update

2009-07-07T12:07:00.002+08:00

I had my 16 weeks scan a 2 weeks ago.
And Dr Ong commented: "Aiyo, the bird so big! Confirm it is a boy!"
So, is a BOY! Mother's instinct is always the opposite.. hee hee..
I have been hooping for a gal because I tot I can really spoil my youngest baby gal... But since, I have already a girl and boy, the preference of the gender is not so strong. As long as he is strong and healthy, I feel blessed. My spotting has finally stopped on my week 14th. So stubborn eh.. And it was like.. finally...

I hope that december will be here soon because I am so tire. This pregnancy is the worst of all. Very very tire, mood swing, headaches, and many more.. Is this due to my age??? I am getting old. I know. I am 31 years old this year. I almost lost track of my age. hahaha..

To think back, for the past 4 years, my body is always in a pregnancy or breastfeeding state. haha.. Is it good or bad?

Lately, I have been so busy with my work, my family, the household chores, etc
With 2 kids already exhausting me. Not to mention with 3 kiddos!

To think of December, I ask myself? Can I cope with it?

The answer is I DUN KNOW. Alot of people telling me that I should get a helper to lighten myself.
I know that without a helper, it may be difficult. I have to jagar my job, the children, the household chores, the meals, etc... Can I really do it?! I try not to think of it. As long as my hb is beside me and support me, helping me along, we should be able to bite our teeth and pull it thru.
As much as I wanted so much to do it myself, I hope that my health condition allows me to.

I am very fortunate to have my parents helping me along the way after Reina is born. My mother is always very supportive and helping me to take care of my kiddos. Reina is now in full day Childcare. When our baby boy is born, Caden will have to go to full day school as well. Reina is always been a very independent gal. I have no worries to send her to full day school. But for Caden, he is always a mummy's boy. Very clingy to me and my mum. Can I really bear to leave him in Full day Childcare? To think of it, my heart is aching. But I dun hv a choice. My mother will not be able to cope with 2 kids at home.

Reina is going 3 years old next month. Wow.. time flies! Still as notti and cheeky. But she is still and will always be my sweety pie.

Mummy loves you both, Reina and Caden!

I feel... a girl...

2009-06-03T15:22:00.000+08:00

Mummy feeling like a girl... Hee.... Let's see.

The beginning...

2009-05-26T21:21:00.004+08:00

I saw this little one jumping, flipping, punching and kicking in my tummy today...
I smiled and said " Soooo cutteee...!"
This little one is so active... I dont remember Reina and Caden doing stunts in my tummy....
When I saw the screen, I suddenly feel excited about my pregnancy and feel like crying at that moment. I am like so "gan dong".. haha

I know I make the right choice.. Although I know that I will still keep complaining.. hee hee

Lets pray that my long term spotting can really make a STOP! It has been a long 7 weeks of spotting and is still on going... Finally I do not need to take my very expensive $100 jab weekly from next week onwards. My next appointment will be 4 weeks from now instead of every 2 weeks and I hope that I dont see any irritating spotting by then. And my cramping... Please also go away....

A new life in Korea

2009-04-15T21:27:00.003+08:00

I touched down in Seoul yesterday
Went directly to visit someone
I lie on the bed, saw something flickering on the screen
And that's the beginning of a new life .....

A decision is made

2009-03-31T23:36:00.003+08:00

Finally, we have made up our mind.
It will be a long and tough journey for us
The road ahead will not be easy.
But, we have decided to hold our hands together and go for the blessing.

No matter what, I know that this is the right choice.

Car Accident

2009-03-29T01:26:00.003+08:00

My sis and I went for JJ concert yesterday.

I went to fetch my sis and CTE was having heavy jam.

We are late.

After fetching my sis, just turn out of her house, someone banged on my car!

Holy SH*T!

We got out of the car to find out what has happenned. Once my sis saw the driver.. she started to scold scold scold.

Their argument was that it is yellow box. BUT is already green light so I move my car, he banged on my rear door. NOT my fault?! But huh.. I think the driver is quite young (1987). He is in a state of shock. He keep on calling someone of the phone.. My sis raised her voice, very firce leh..

Actually nothing serious la. Only some scratches, no dented.

I think the other party's car is more serious.

We took down their number, took photos exchange numbers.

After we got back to our car, I told my sis, " wow lauz.. u are so fierce.. I nearly burst out." :-p My sis said " this type of situation, who fierce who will win. Whether the damage is serious or not, we hv to win first!" One lesson learnt!

Working from home

2009-03-21T00:06:00.003+08:00

My parents took leave from 16-20 March from me. They went for holiday in Hanoi.

So dear and me take turns to take leave to stay at home for Caden and jie jie Reina is on full day school.

As I have pile of work to do, my boss request me to work from home.. Initially I thought is a good idea. But it doesnt turn out right..

To be at home means, I have to do housework, cook, look after the baby and on top of this, I still need to work! arrggghhh!! I am dead tire... On the 1st day at home, I switched off my notebook only at 2am..! And my boy woke up 2 times that night... I feel like a zombie the next day. Caden boy was so clingy to me during the day... If I sit on the desk to work, he will stand beside me hugging my leg like a koala bear. He can just stand there and look at me.. omg... I give up and try to accompany him.

I like to look at him when he sleeps.. Suddenly I realise that it has been long since I really look at him sleeping.

During the weekdays when I have to work, we will go back home from my mother house around 8-9pm.. He will fall asleep in the car and he still continues to sleep when reached home. Then I start to bath, prepare for tomorrow and sleep. And during weekends, once he took his afternoon nap, I will busy with household chores, cooking, etc...

I really enjoy looking at him. It is so peaceful to see a baby sleeping...

And life continues.....

2009-03-12T10:18:00.007+08:00

I just feel so happy recently... I dunno why. But there is no need a reason to be happy. :-)

I feel so fortunate and blessed to have 2 bubbly children and a loving husband.

A brief update of my children now...

The cheeky Reina is always the queen of the house.. She can really turn my house into an earthquake scene. haha.. And suddenly she talks so much now.. This little princess of mine always make my heart melts. The way she looks at you, the way she pester you.. I just cant help but to give in to her. My dear said I always spoilt market. Hee hee.. But how can you reject her when she look at you dearly, pulling your clothes....

Reina: Mummy I want sweet..
Me: Is too late now. No more sweet.
Reina: hmmmm... mummy please.. I want sweet, please.. mummy, please...

I cant help it lor. I just love to spoilt her. Every day, she talks non stop in the car, telling us what she sees outside. Her favourite activity is to look at the moon. She crossed her hands and rest her arms on the window, then rest her head on her arms, to "appreciate" the moon and the stars in the sky. So cute... Last weekend, we are playing toys together in her room around 7pm. The sky was going darker. Suddenly, she looked up and tell me: " oh.. Moon! The moon is up there. Its night time!" She is starting to talk more and more.
She likes to dance with the music and often "order" her daddy to dance with her. When her daddy is using one hand to dance as he is driving, she insisted him to use 2 hands to dance..
Also, she sings non stop too!! haha.. I am surprise that she knows alot of songs. almost 30 over Chinese and English songs. From Old MacDonald had a farm and the wheels on the bus to 小小羊儿要回家. Last time, I use to sing to her to sleep. Now, she sings to herself to sleep. Sometimes I want to sing with her but she tell me she wants to sing it all by herself.

Suddenly I realise that my little baby has grown up to be a girl now.

My 斯文 baby boy is slowly growing to be a little devil now :-)
He finally walked a few steps 2 days ago. Kind of sad that I didnt witness it myself.
This boy hor, babbles non stop too. Keep on talking and i dunno what he is talking about.
Some of his cute actions will always brighten up my days. A few months ago, he knows how to bye bye to us. When we say "bye bye caden", he will open and close his hand.
And recently, I notice another one. When I say " No No" , he will wave his hand.
Is kind of fun when I see him quarrel and fight with her jie jie. Sometimes i will laugh. I know I should come in to stop the quarrel but I find it so cute to see the two little babies quarrel and fight. Opps.. Bad mummy!

I treasure every moment with them.

We are bringing Reina with us to Hong Kong in April. I keep on having the urge to book another ticket for Caden. I feel bad to leave him here. :-( Let us try out this time with jie jie first. If it turns out fine, then our future trips will always be our family trip!
Oh yeah! Before Hong Kong, my whole family including us are going to Bintan beginning April. My brother booked a Villa in Bintan Lagoon Resort from his company. The children will be excited about the beach again!

For myself, I realise that I suddenly gone through alot of things last month. I started to appreciated every bit of my life. I realise the importance of a family. They supported you and walk you out the darkest moment of your life.
They tried everything just to cheer me up.
I remember that is a Tuesday and my sister rushed down after her meeting just to accompany me to see that "someone", just in case I missed out any important details.
And my dear, needless to say, he is always by my side giving me any needed moral support. He started to do most of the housework in the house now. Hee hee. Thank you dear dear! I love you! Dear, with you, we shall never be apart, to grow old together, to see our children get married and look after our grandchildren together.

Oh.. And Neo! He conducted a 2 days lunch counselling for me which I really appreciate la! Thanks ya my friend.

Counting down to our winter holiday

2008-10-06T09:58:00.005+08:00

Yippeeeeee

Holiday time again.... Finally our little boy was born! It is time to reward myself for another vacation. Initially we intend to join Jeannie for her 14 days Europe vacation, Since we went for a 14 days States vacation after Reina's birth too. But it seems too long. Wondering if my parents are able to cope with 2 babies who still require night feeding. Daddy decided that we should go for a short trip instead. Or maybe not too short... ehh.. a middle one.. **hurhurhur**.

To choose between Hokkaido and Central Japan, I chose Central Japan. Hee hee
The reason?? Hokkaido is more scenic and Central Japan can balance between shopping and sightseeing.. hurhurhur.

Again we are extending 2 more days in the happening Tokyo. 2 more days of shopping for mummy.

Really looking forward for this trip. Daddy and mummy have been sleeping in seperate rooms since Caden's birth. ** so sad** It is time to catch up some "couple time" together. With thanks to my parents who are most willingly to look after our sugars.

And Lastly!!! Japan, Here I come!!!!

After this trip, we will plan for our Aussie trip next year with the little ones. **Grins**

An unique Wedding

2008-04-14T13:18:00.002+08:00

This is a very unique wedding...

All BLACK theme... So nice.!!!

Look at Tracy's gown. Also Black!

Tracy's wedding was on the Good Friday - 21st March. The last wedding dinner I attended before I gave birth to Caden.

I am back with my little prince

2008-04-06T14:44:00.005+08:00

I am BACK !!!

I have finally delivered!

My third trimester was really eventful.

Week 28, I experience early contraction, then week 36, I was admitted to hospital due to my high fever cannot subsided. After that, Caden make his way up. Ended up, I need to go for my C section on my week 38 which is on the 26th March.

26th March, Caden has finally arrived at Mt Alvernia Hospital around 1+ in the afternoon. Actually I really dun like the idea of C section. After going thru both natural (Reina) and C section (Caden), I highly recommend others to go for natural. Altough the labour might be long, but it is easier to recover.

Happy 3rd Wedding Anniversary

2007-12-19T10:36:00.000+08:00

Today is my 3rd wedding anniversary...

How do we celebrate?

A romantic dinner .....

Please Cherish!

2007-12-07T09:51:00.000+08:00

I came across this article today in the net. And I tears just cant be controlled.
I really hate this ppl for taking life so lightly.

It is so unfair for these little lives! They are so fragile but why are you the one to decide where they should go?!!! They should have a chance to see this beautiful world. They are innocent!!!

When I look at my little gal now, when she is hurt or unwell, she will cried out for ME - her beloved mummy. I am sure the innocent life in your tummy is calling for you when u do this to her.

Ppl out there, please do CHERISH lives!!!

Sigh.. I think I am getting emotional again....

********************************
Dear Mommy,
I am in Heaven now, sitting on Jesus' lap. He loves me and cries with me; for my heart has been broken.
I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existence. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping. Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon.
I wondered why you cried so much. One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you. I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy.
That same day, the most horrible thing happened. A very mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in. I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me.
The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, help me please; Mommy, help me." Complete terror is all I felt. I screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn't anymore. Then the monster started ripping my arms off.
It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. It didn't stop. Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off. Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying.
I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me. I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy. Now I couldn't; all my dreams were shattered.
Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking, above all. I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only imagine the terrible things that they had done to you. I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand.
And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead. I felt myself rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone.
The angel took me to Jesus and set me on His lap. He said He loved me, and He was my Father. Then I was happy. I asked Him what the thing was that killed me. He answered, "Abortion. I am sorry, my child; for I know how it feels." I don't know what abortion is; I guess that's the name of the monster.
I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful. It sucked my arms and legs off and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to die.
Also, Mommy, please watch out for that abortion monster. Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did.

Please be careful.

Love, Your Baby Girl

My Pregnancy Tickers

2007-12-06T23:12:00.001+08:00

Mood Swing????

2007-12-06T16:24:00.000+08:00

Seriously I really think that I really have this problem.
Small little things is making me so upset. And if I think back those unhappy incident, I start to get pek cek and start throwing temper. Only crying can vent anger. Once I start crying, it is hard for me to stop. I will start carry on crying there for 15 mins non stop.

AND MY DEAR?!!! I think he cannot understand me. iHe is so insensitive to me. When I request things from him, he will say NO NO NO NO NO!! Unlike last time. I just feel that he dun treat me well enough, he dun care for me, he dun love me. Sometimes I hate him so much. What he promise me, he can just break his promise. He is so irritating right?!!

I am going through so much for this pregnancy. My 1st trimester was really a nightmare. Then now, my 2nd trimester, I feel that my tummy is so big, so uncomfortable. And I also dunno why am I so tire now as compare to the previous pregnancy. And my little gal was so active and cranky. All these are making me crazy.

I started to deposit unwanted fats, I told him that I want to go for a swim, he will say weather is bad else he will say, why dun u go for a swim yourself as I need to take care of Reina. What can I say?!! In the end, never go because everyone is busy with Reina. Last time he will just follow me where ever I go just to make sure I am fine. I am not saying that he needs to hackcare Reina just to cater to me. At else, he can try to find some alternatives for me.

No wonder ppl say 2nd pregnancy will never be the same again. That is so true!!!

Cant he understand what a pregnant woman going thru??!!
I just feel that he dun care.

or Is this realli the hormonal changes??!!!

A Little update about myself

2007-10-27T10:57:00.000+08:00

Hi folks!!!

ya ya ya... I am pregnant again!!! heeee.... I keep telling everyone that I hope to have another baby when my gal turned 1 yr old.. And who knows 2 days before my gal 1 yr old birthday, I tested pregnant again!!! .

Well, this initial pregnancy was not a smooth one. Just 1 week after I tested pregnant, I am having spotting. Its stopped and a few days later I came again. Dr Ong say it is a threatening abortion and was given 2 weeks MC to stablize it. After 2 weeks resting on bed, everything was normal was back to work. 1 month later, it came again. this time was external bleeding. It is due to "sagging womb".. Sigh... Why this spotting thing keep on bugging me??!!! I was told not to carry heavy things and excercise. My morning sickness was really bad. I vomitted several times. And this nausea was with me all day long from week 6 to week 14. And I bad breakout.. Compare to my 1st pregnancy, this pregnancy is much more eventful...

During the NT scan, it turns out fine and Dr Ong told me that there is a 1mm "thing" down there.. He say he can only confirm with me during my next visit. And yesterday, he told me that I got to start to buy new clothes??? hahaha... yes, my 1st one is a gal.. so this time i got to buy new clothes for this 2nd precious... that "thing" grows from 1mm to 3.6mm.. kekke It is weighing 160g and is 11.3cm long. Dr Ong say that baby has a good size.

I will have my detail scan 6 weeks later... he say it is better to do it at ard 22-24 weeks. He is able to see more things during this period.

Hope everything turns out well for me. I have another 5 mths to go..

Happy 29th Birthday

2007-09-13T09:48:00.000+08:00

Today is my 29th Birthday. Celebrating the last twenties birthday.

I cant imagine that 10 years ago, I was still a rebellious child studying in Poly and now as a kind mother. What a drastic change!! Life can never be the same as before. Well, we have to understand that there are always different stages of life.

Okay.. today my 29th birthday. But I am still working.. When drivng to work, I was asking my dear, how can you forget such an important date?!?! He was still thinking what is happening and I started to pull a long face. Then he finally say " oh Happy Birthday, Gal" So disappointing!!! He has forgotten about my birthday!!!! After my gal has arrived, his focus is all with her and starting to slowly neglecting me.. :-( Haha.. I start to get jealous with my gal... That's all for my complain of the day!

Last friday, was my appointment with doc. So my dear and I took a day leave so that we can spent our time together at the same time early celebrating of my birthday. To think of that, this is the first time since our gal is borned. Happily we went shopping, eating and was thinking of catching a movie in the afternoon. But I became tire and decide to go home to nap. Then at night, we spent out time together with a romantic dinner together at a french restaurant in Bukit Timah. We went there before 3 years ago, also my birthday.

This is my dinner.

My drink with a name call " Twinkle Twinkle little stars"

Lobster Salad

My main course - ChickenCheese cake

It is just the beginning

2007-08-13T09:40:00.000+08:00

Now, my turn to get MC for 2 weeks...

These 2 weeks will not be easy for me. Now, the 1st week has passed, but the situation is still the same... This has never happened to me before... I really have this bad bad bad feeling. Why does it dun stop? What has happened to me?

Maybe I realli walk too much and do too much shopping.. Maybe I shouldnt do that... Maybe this .,. It is too late to say so many things now....

My next appointment is this saturday.. Wondering if it is good that i bring forward this. If it is a bad news, I dun wanna to know so early... Or maybe it is good that i know earlier?

What should i do now?

To honest, I might not be as brave as you think that I can face the fact.

Oh my! I should have more positive thinking now...

God! Please help me...

Praying for the best! Praying for everything now...

Memories of Taipei

Aiyo.. I have been back from Taipei for 2 months!!

Totally forgotten about the photos!!

This is all I have..

The crazy 4 that shares 1 room.....

The is the birthday cake for Mr Andy celebrating his... 1st 3!!! Picture says a thousand words!!

Hey Sharon, Jeannie and nei out there!! Where is our photos of Taipei?!!!

Shall I or Shall I not??

2007-06-13T14:09:00.000+08:00

Recently, alot of decisions to make ah!

This is one of them...

I have been thinking of extracting out my wisdom tooth. But I am really afraid of the procedure and the pain. I hate lying down there when the dentist is doing all sorts of horrible things just to pull out the teeth.

3 months back, I did extract out my right upper wisdom tooth. As this is a small tooth, I just wanted to give it a try on how extraction feels like. But still, my heart jumping up and down when i was waiting for dentist to start extraction. I keep on asking the dentist whether it is pain? And the dentist keep on assuring me that it will not be painful. But still, I keep on mumbling to myself. When the dentist try to extract it out, i can feel the dentist's strength being transfer to my tooth. The dentist gave me some painkiller after that just in case it pains. When I reached home, I just popped 2 pills before I can feel the pain. hahaha

2 years ago, I actually want to have the extraction of wisdom teeth on one side. But I freak out. =P But sharon go ahead with the extraction instead!! She is a brave gal!!! Not like me haha.
She told me that it is not painful and can earn 3 days MC. I was still thinking. Shall I go??

Then today, I read from Celeste blog that it is so painful as what she describe. I think I am on my way to freak out my decision AGAIN...!!!! **faint**

Unfit for work

2007-05-28T15:05:00.000+08:00

wow wow wow..

someone is on MC .. maybe 2 weeks!!

Yeah!!

Overwork

2007-05-10T09:34:00.000+08:00

Someone send me this blog
http://pinkmayflower.multiply.com/journal/item/140

A girl died of overworking.

I really empathise her. I truely understand with the amount of never ending workload, no personal life and the hectic work environment. Well as what she said, she dun like her boss. I dun like mine as well. He never tell us that when he will be going on leave, outstation, etc. Maybe, he is afraid that we will plan ahead our "schedule" . Eg, late for work, plans for "meetings". To me, his overseas trips is always so mystery. When he is not in the office, the mood for the dept will be more relax and happier. All these years, my mood to work is greatly affected by whether he is in the office or not. And I feel that it is so stupid. And I stupidily work here for more than 6 years!!! Because of the nice colleagues here, I am able to stay alive. My colleagues here are great and fun. Helping each other, covering up for each other, joking around, etc And the most impt thing, we have the common enemy! You know who is he..

When you work like hell on your desk, you can see him happily flipping the newspaper in the room. With so many things on hand, he can still increase your workload. When feedbacked, he said, " you very busy meh!" Well, after 6 years working here, I have already used to it.

I remember the days I start working at 9am and go home at 9pm. With hundred of emails everyday, yes hundred, no kidding. Once you reach office and sit down, you will nvr get up the seat until lunch. Back at work you continue until go home. No toilet break in between, bcos you cannot afford the time. And when you see your other colleagues can shake their legs, come to work late and go home on the dot, I find it is so unfair when they get so much salary with this kind of workload.

Anyway, I am glad that the hell days has passed. With more ppl recruit in and restructure of work load, I am becoming ... haha.. laggy..

Happily I should say "Shine after rain"!!
Although there may be times that you are super duper darn busy, there are also times that you can lag around. I believe tat this is life.. Else why should the company keeps you?

To be fair, I should say my boss has becoming more and more understanding. BUT he can be nasty!!

Now that I have a family, of coz family should comes first. My Bao Bei is my priority.
Job and Money is not everything. Although without money you cannot survive! But I'm a girl, The family breadwinner is my dear. So I should not worry so much right?

No job nevermind, as long as my girl is happy and healthy. Afterall, money cant buy back time!

2007-05-03T22:44:00.000+08:00

I have decided to buck up my cooking skills.

My skills has become really bad bad bad, to rock bottom! When I was young, I can cook quite nice food.. but, not to mention simple vegetable dish, either over cook or under cooked.. I tell you I also pai sei..

In order for me to improve on it, I decided to start cooking every weekend. No more outside food. Eat from home.

I have mentioned to my dear about my idea. And he just give me an emotionless look.. What does he mean?? hmmph!

I told him we will go to super market tomorrow to buy food! Must be more supportive mah! sigh...

Hopefully I am realli not "3 mins warm".. complaining I AM TOO TIRE

My Pak Tor Day

2007-03-21T09:29:00.000+08:00

Yesterday went pak-tor-ing with my dear. It has been long time since we last pak tor.Oh! We just came back from our honeymoon in states right??!! :-p

Why we can go pak tor?? Because my sister is getting married and my parents brought my darling little one with them to meet my sister's future PIL. So the RoM date set on the 21st April. Finally my dear sister is getting married. haha..

We went to audio house after work to buy sound system. Ended up buy nothing as not much variety over there.

Then we went bishan to see if we can catch a movie since the last movie we watched was more than 8 mths back. But the timing is not right for us. All started at around 9.30pm. Ended up did not go for any movie as it will make us very tire after that. We went for our dinner in Cartel then we to Best Denki to see if there is any sound system or 20" LCD TV, but my dear 眼光 very high. Cannot find anything he wants.. Actually we have been sourcing for these for months. But none of the system is up to his standard... Sigh.. I already hands off it, let him settle it, anyway I have no time to think about it.

There is still 3 items that are still missing in our house -
1) System System(the wire is hanging there for quite sometime already)
2) 20" LCD TV for our bedroom
3) coffee table

1) For the sound system, I let my dear do the job.
2) For the 20" LCD TV, actually I really dunno we need this or not as we are seldom at home, even if we are at home, most of the time we are not in our bed so we can watch TV in the living room. Is there a need to buy a $700+ TV to beautify the shelf?? Maybe we just wanna buy it to make it feel complete. But isnt it a waste of money??!!
3) Coffee Table, I dun really think that we need this. If i put a coffee table in the centre of the living room, then baby Reina will not have her space to crawl and run around the house. We decide to buy a small side table to put it at the side of the sofa. If there is guest, we will just move it to the centre. This is idea lei!! kekeke

Nowadays, dun realli feel like going out to shop for these things. So I hope my dear help me do the job for item (1) and (2). I will source for item (3).

I wanna change my mobile.. Again??!! Yes.. hee hee I wanna chnage my plan from Singtel to Starhub as the singtel signal of my house is really bad. Somemore I did not subscribe to the fixed line. Better change to starhub, in case some one trying to get me on some emergency matters. One disadvantage - ppl can call me using my old number, but when i call out, it will reflect starhub new number.. :-(

This is the phone I wanna get - Nokia E65.
I am finally using back Nokia after 4 years as a Samsung user. My dear keep on brainwashing me to use Nokia phone.. Is he a Nokia fan??!!

Anyway, this will be my new phone. I am going to get it this weekend!! yeah!

Happy Valentine's Day

2007-02-14T16:51:00.000+08:00

It has been 2 days since I last slept..

In Kuala Lumpur on business trip. Been looking at this stupid computer for so long.
When did I become so hardworking. It has been some time since I work so hard.

Why must this week. Why is everything crashes on this week. I was working every night since friday. And on sunday, I dont even have time to pack up my stuff, still working. My dear giving me a darn long face. He needs to pacify the little one and packing the stuff at the same time.

Flying out yesterday night after the moving in ceromery of my new flat. You think this is crazy??!! And my flight was delayed for 2 HOURS!! Thats why people is saying, when something turns bad, everything just follows... Its just not my day.

My resolution for the Piggy Year is to have more time for my family. I need to have more time for Reina. I wanted to tell her that I really love her, mummy is coming back very soon.

Nevermind.. need to accept it.

So my friends out there, please pardon me if I forgot about your important dates. But please remind me if my important dates are coming up. I will appreciate that! :-p

Ok.. thats is about my complain to my poor memory..

I wanted to eat a romantic dinner, then pak-tor-ing at the beach. Wondering if my dear will give me any anniversary gifts tonight?? I dont think so.. Bcos he is not romantic at all!!! Anyway, if he never buy, then I can ask for the presents I like. :-p hee hee hee.. What do I want??? A GUCCI WALLET!!! Actually I already ask for it long time ago but he just nodded his head. He said that he already bought me this LV wallet last year and still in good condition. He do not want to waste money for a 2nd one.

Keys to my New Flat

2006-11-20T22:31:00.000+08:00

This morning was checking on the HDB website and to my surprise, I have an appointment date to collect my keys next Tuesday morning! Finally.. After 6 years long wait!! dunno if I will shed some tears when I collected my keys anot.. hahaha!

Collect Keys = Spend Money

Sigh.. where can I find money???!!!!

Buy more 4D and Toto...

But I did not buy, how to strike??!!!

I have been sick for more than 1 week already.. When can I fully recover my flu? I am afraid to spread my coughing virus to Reina. Also, still having mild sore throat :-(

Jia You! 2kg more!

2006-11-17T12:24:00.000+08:00

Have been sick for a week.. Still so sick! Stuck Nose, sore throat, coughing - FLU!!!!

Been keeping a distance from Reina these few days and she has been sleeping with my mum because after drinking the cough syrup, I am like Zombie... high high into the sky... And because of my flu, my milk machine is not as productive as before. My milk supply drop drastically.... Hopefully, together with those in the freezer, it can last until end of the month for Reina. At else she can be breast fed for 4 months. After that she can have semi solid food already. Yes, she has been drinking quite well. Last night, she finished 180ml of milk before her sleep.

And this morning, after so many months, finally I am brave enough to step on the weighing machine. Yippe!!! I left another 2kg more, thanks to my flu. hahaha

Finally my holiday is coming!!! It's been more than 1 year since my last holiday. My dear has promised me this holiday since my pregnancy and now he has to fulfill his promise.

Yes! My 14 day trip to West America - Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Fransico. I have planned this trip since my confinement. We will book the local tour and air ticket seperately. I am still considering to take Sq or other airlines. As SQ will be about $400 more expensive than other carrier. $400!!! Whats means $800 for both of us, which means I have $800 less to shop for my stuff!!! I have so many things in mind now.. I want to buy - Coach, Gap, Old Navy, Levis, Timberland, blah blah blah... Wow Cant wait for the trip!!!

The date been set on the 7Jan07. Actually wanna go earlier, after consideration of -

My baby blog

2006-09-07T15:00:00.000+08:00

Dear friends,

Please visit my bb's blog @ http://www.mylittleprincessdiary.blogspot.com

It contains all the recent updates and pictures of my litle princess

Welcome, Parenthood!

2006-08-16T16:03:00.000+08:00

Hello!

I am back after so many weeks!

Yes, been busy with my little daughter. She is born on the 1st of August. Here is a picture of her. Saying bye bye to couple hood and stepping into parenthoodhood now. Now as a mother, everything is new to me. Trying to learn bits by bits everyday and every hour. Sleepless nights from the day I delivered. She cries for milk every night at else 2-3 times. Sometimes, she is so awake at night that I have to carry her for 2-3 hours before she falls asleep again. Her arrival in our family brings laughter everyday. Her every movement can make us laugh, even she farted can make everyone laugh. By just looking at her, makes my day. I kiss her countless times everyday. But sometimes, she can be cranky making me want to beat her backside. This is only the starting. It is a long road ahead. It needs a lot of patience, perseverance and skills to be a good mother and I promise to be one.

Thank god for giving me a beautiful daughter. I will give her all the best that I can give her and I want to tell her that she is always my sweetheart always my baby. I will always treat her as a baby no matter how big she is. 21 yrs old, 30 yrs old or even older, she is still my little daughter. Maybe in future, she will feel that I am being naggy, treating her like a small baby, I will still be the same. I want to spend as much time as possible with her because I know that once she is teenager, she might want to spend more time with her friends, then her boyfriend then her husband. I will cherish every moment I have with her telling her stories, singing songs for her, bringing her to outings. I do not know I will be a good mother a not, but I will try my very best.

Finally We’ll Meet

2006-07-27T09:54:00.000+08:00

I love you, little baby, You're such a part of me.
Can't wait to hold you in my arms, And hug you tenderly.
No matter what you look like, You're beautiful, my love.
A precious gift bequeathed to me, From heaven far above.
Each time I feel you moving, My heart is filled with joy.
To think that very soon I'll hold My little girl, I'm counting every moment.
Till you're mine at last, my sweet, It won't be long until your birth.
Then finally we'll meet.

My week 37

2006-07-15T16:47:00.000+08:00

This week is my week 37 already. Getting more and more lazy and tire. Went out with Jeannie and my dear last Tuesday for dinner in Plaza Sing at the Manhattan fish restaurant. Thanks Jeannie for this dinner :-) She just gotten her bonus. The food is nicer than the other fish restaurant. And she told me that she is going to HKG with Bob in August. Making me so envy. She keeps traveling and I am stuck here. :-(

Yesterday, Friday, I took a day off. Really need a break and have a rest to relax myself as I work until 8+pm for most of this week. Wake up at around 10am. Surf net and getting ready to go out at around 12noon for lunch in Tampines Mall. Aiyo, I was so hungry in the car, didnt take my breakfast. Once I parked my car, went to B1 thinking of wat to eat. Mos Burger? Then I saw this teppan-yaki. I think it is healthier to eat this as there are green vege, bean sprout and meat - Balanced diet. After that shopping around the mall. Ohhhh.. Got my ger some clothes again... arrgghh.. cannot let my dear know about it. Later he will be nagging non stop at me again. :-p
Actually I wanted to buy some clothes from OshkoshB'gosh. But almost 95% of the clothes there is for 12months and above. So I didnt get anything there. After the shopping, I went to a cafe in the mall and read magazine. Trying to enjoy some time for myself as someone told me that I will not have this luxury next time.:-) At around 2.30pm, Shirley from the clinic called me. She told me that saturday visit will be a long queue for me asking me whether I wanna change the appt to another day. As my dear work until 3pm yesterday because of his company DnD at night, I thought we can visit Dr Ong at around 4pm. I fetch my dear after he off work and went down to my antenatal visit.

Not many ppl in the clinic. I only waited for about 10 mins to see Dr Ong. I let Dr Ong know that I am having this crampy feeling on and off for the last 2 days. He told me that it is okay. Now, I have to look out for 3 things - blood, contraction and water. If any of these 3 things happen, I have to prepare to go.... Again, the most excited part of every visit - scanning. I see my ger again. She seems to grow well and is 2.5kg now. Some more her head already engaged!!! Thats my girl! Dr Ong telling us that it is anytime from now. :-) Then he explained to us the types of pain relief that I can have. Still dunno whether to take epidural anot. See how it goes.

Went to my mum's place overnight because my dear went to his DnD. I spent my time at night doing up the baby cot. See how it looks like now. It seems like the whole room is pink in colour. My wall, baby cot sheet and my bed sheet. My brother is telling me that everyone will knows that this room is for a baby ger. haha.

My ger got a present from yi ma and jiu jiu. Her car seat! So pai sei. It cost almost $400. Actually dun expect it to be so expensive one. I told them to buy something around $200 will do. But my SIL said that safety is the most impt thing so they got this.

And my sister has gotten my ger some dress and skirt from OshKosh. See so cute. My ger has to thanks Jiu Jiu, Jiu mu and Yi Ma for all her presents....

I waited for my dear to come until around 1+am. But I didnt have a good night sleep. We waked up at about 10am for roti prata. Then we went back to my mum's place to explore our little car seat. The car seat is from o yrs to 4 yrs. Half way thru exploring, I went back to my bed and laze around. Trying to have a nap but in the end daydreaming away.. haha.. Looking at the baby cot wondering when my ger ger will check out of my tummy. What will be my first symptom of labour and so on.. Until about 2pm, we went for out lunch at Mos burger.

Tonight will be going out with Sharon for a Perranakan dinner and Superman movie...
Have to enjoy abit before my ger make her first cry.....

I hope that my next post will be telling you my birth story....

Nursery Corner

2006-07-09T22:27:00.000+08:00

Been busy for the last 2 days tidying up the room in my mum's place. I will be staying there during my confinement period and the next 6 months probably. Yesterday, I have been tidying up the shelf and drawers for my ger's stuff as well as my stuff during our stay there. Today my dear and my mum try to move some of the furniture in the room to accomodate the baby cot. My sis will have to stay at her BF house for the 1mth of my confinement period. Subsequent months, she will come back on and off but sleeping in the same room as me. Hope she will not be disturbed by my ger's cry in the middle of the night. :-p
Look at this baby cot. It has a 32 yrs history. It was custom-made by my grandpa for my brother. Then it was passed to my sis then to me. After that my 2 little cousins. Now, back to me again.. And it will be use by my brother's child next time. This cot has been going around Singapore and back to AMK again. haha... I have hang the crib toy up already. This is the first toy for my ger. :-)

For the nursery corner at my room in Hougang. I decide to do it after my confinement as I will be only staying in my own room during weekends and the rest of the days will be in AMK, my mum's place. So I do not want to do it so early to trap dust.

Wk35 Gynae checkup

2006-07-01T19:33:00.000+08:00

I make my appt as the last patient to see Dr Ong this time instead of the 1st patient usually. This is to let my dear to enjoy his RC plane with his friends in the morning before we go for our appt. The nurse call me yesterday asking me to reached at 12noon as one of the patient has cancelled her appt last minute.

We reached the clinic at 12 sharp... But we waited for 45mins. :-( Dun understand why she called and ask us to go earlier since we still need to wait for so long.. :-( Do the routine checkup before we go in to see Dr Ong. I gained 12kg in total this time. The nurse is telling me that I gained almost 2kg in 2 weeks is quite alot. She ask me to watch my diet. Sigh... I was hoping since my weight gain is so much, my girl's weight should gain quite alot too. I told my dear that I gained 12kg.. And he is smiling away.. I dun understand why he likes me to gain weight??!!

Our turn to see Dr Ong. He seems to be very busy today. Halfway thru our talking, I think someone from Mt A call him about the current situation of one of his patient who is in labour now. Mentioning about 4cm dilation and head still high up.. blah blah blah... I think he is rushing for all appts today so that he can go to hospital asap.

He asked about me and my girl. I let him know that from last week onwards, I feel that she does not kick me downwards but above my abodminal. He is quite surprise and go ahead to for my scanning. Yes! My girl's head is right at the bottom now. But still not engage. Placenta is clear as well. So everything is just right now for normal delivery. Dr Ong is quite happy about it and wants us to read about those stages of labour and pain relief as all the while we are all talking about C-sect. He also do a V-swap test for me today. Result will be out on Monday. The weight of my girl has hitted 2kg. She is around 2.05kg now. Sigh.. Still not much progress. My nightmare has come true.. All the food I take in goes to mummy instead of bb.... :-( I took alot of meat and milk recently. All no use.. Need to cut down on these as the diet proves wrong. Goes back to my subway sandwiches???? Dr Ong reminded us again to pack our hospital bag. Dr's letter will only be given on my next appt as he is afraid that we will lost it. Again, I ask him about my concern of my girl's weight. He told us that she is always a below average size bb. For full term, she may be only 2.5kg dun expect a 3kg bb. As far as the growing progress, she is doing just fine. Our next appt is in 2 weeks time. I tot it should be in 1week gap already. Sigh.. Still need to wait for 2 weeks to see her again. I miss her so much.

In the car on the way to lunch, me and my dear talks to our sweetie. She is such a good gal! Always listen to us. We are so proud of her and we love her so much. Yesterday, i went to Causway point and bought a crib toy for her. I told her that mummy knows that her head is down already so mummy decide to buy a toy for her for being mummy's good gal. :-) Our lunch in Maxwell market today. I bought so many food for myself - fish head meehoon, green bean soup, and my yummy sweet potatos balls. Been such a long time since I had the sweet potatos balls. Still so yummy. Actually thinking of eating Rojak.. But I scare of being bloated again. :-p
Then, we headed to MS for our movie - Just my Luck. In the midst of queuing of tix, I told my dear I am very tire and we decide to go home for a rest and give up our movie.

On my way home, I slept in the car and walk home like a zombie. Once I saw my bed, I just fall and sleep all the way till 7+pm.. Why am I so tire? Do I have too much for my lunch??

We decide to go for our movie tomorrow again and have a Japanese dinner in MS. I have been craving to go to that Japanese Restuarant long time again. Decide to give it a try tomorrow.

Weddings

2006-06-24T10:05:00.000+08:00

Last sunday went for a garden wedding in Ponggol Park. I feel that to have a garden wedding in Singapore is really not suitable... SO HOT!!!!! I can see that everyone is sweating.. Maybe I am preggy, so I have the advantage of sitting inside the aircondition restuarant for enjoy my meal. As the restuarant is small, some of the ppl have to have their lunch outside. Imagine, at lunch, 1pm, the sun is so sunny and red hot.. Ppl are sweating when eating.. Poor thing!

This week, is also a tire week. I have no more energy to work anymore. Everyday in the office, waiting for time to pass and go home. No mood to work also. Luckily, this week most of the ppl are involved in CommunicAsia exhibition. So, I can rest as much as possible in the office. When come to lunch time, I really very reluctant to go out to eat. The weather is hot and I cannot take it. :-(

Yesterday, I went for a colleague's wedding dinner in Oriental Hotel. The dinner starts only at 9pm... that was late.. I hungry until I kiao gu... :-( and it ends at 11.30pm.. so tire...

During the dinner, I received a surprise call. When I pick up the phone, this gal keep on saying" Buddy! Buddy! you still remember me??!!" I tot who is it.. They are my SIA colleagues!! Really surprise me! Joyce and Alicia are very close to me during my flying time. Joyce was my buddy that time and we often fly together. Really miss the days! I lost the contacts that time when I lost my phone a few years back. Guess what! They are still flying!! Aiyoh! They have been flying for 6 years already.. I was telling them" Aiyoh,... so old already still fly ah! haha.. " But they have not promote to leading stewardess... They ask me how many kids I have now.. So I let them know that I am going to have my 1st child next mth. :-) Then they request me to meet them up after my dinner.. I said" Buddy!! I pregnant lei.. you still want me to go chiong ah!" Then Joyce laughed" I heard that you drink alcohol can make you early delivery, and you forgotten that we are trained to help ppl deliver on board!" Ke Ke Ke... Joyce is getting married end of this yr also.. She say she is going to invite me and my whole family.. hahaha.. I ask her to save one table for my whole family. :p They also remind me to invite them to my ger's first mth party..

Still remember the 3 of us are very close last time. I always insisted to sit in the middle where ever we go bcos I was telling them I am the flower and they are the leaves.. kekeke.. Then they always teased me. Haiz.. So miss my flying days ....

Wk33 Gynae Visit

2006-06-17T19:49:00.000+08:00

Today is my Wk 33 check up. I wake up at 7.30am to do laundry and head off to Mt E at 8.45am. We are the first one again. But Dr Ong has not arrive. We waited for about half an hour before he arrive.

Dr: How r u?
Me: Tire and very tire
Dr: **Smile** you will be getting more and more tire as your baby grows bigger. You may consider if you want to apply for earlier maternity leave.
Me: Dun want. I want to have more time for my ger when she is out.
Dr: Try to have a short nap of 15mins after lunch to recharge your energy. You will feel more refresh. Cut down on Carbo food as it will make you more tire. Eat more vege and fruits. They may refresh you abit.
Me: **Nodded my head**
Dr: So hows your baby?
Me: Active but kicking me downwards now.
Dr: Oh dear... dun tell me bb make her way up again. Lets check on her now.

So Dr Ong do a routine scan for me. As what we expect, the head is on top now. You know what? the placenta has moved up but bb head turn away also.. My god! Must beat my ger backside already. Trying to play hide and seek with us. Cannot let me rest my mind.... :-(
Me: Oh my! What can I do to make her turn down again?
Dr: There is alot of old wife tales like more walking or down with all fours. But there is really nothing you can do but to pray hard that your bb cooperate with you.
Hb: How about swimming?
Dr: Not Really...

Actually the books say the we can go swimming to help bb head turn down??? ** Confused**
She is now only 1.75kg... Already in Wk34. Still, Dr Ong told me is normal... He said my ger weight is always at the low and small side. Told me dun expect a big baby. He expect her weight to be somewhere around 2.5kg - 2.8kg. Depending on when she is born. I keep on telling Dr Ong that I am very worried about her weight. But he seems like everything is really fine. Keep on reassuring me.
Really have so many things to worry about... Hb ask me not to stress on myself... How to not worry??!!!

Dr: Are you ready for the bb?
Me: Of coz.. We are ever ready... :-)
Dr: Tomorrow is your week34 already. So next appt, 2 weeks later, if the bb head has not turn down, we have to make plans for ceaserian in Wk38..
Me: So fast!!!
Dr: Of coz. Normally ceaserian will be before full-term. But if the bb decide to turn down anytime before the operation date, you can always go for normal birth....
Me: ......

So many things to worry... So stress.. I told my hb that I have been eating so much recently. Dun know why like that.. Some more keep on eating supper also. I think I have to change my diet to more meaty diet so that I can have more protein for her to build up her muscle. Hb also ask me not to worried. Just let it be natural and see how much she want to take it. There is really nothing we can do.

Actually I really wanted to go for a natural birth. Praying hard for my ger ger head to turn down again....
