New milestone from 25 Oct

Last Friday seen Dr SF Loh, as usual waited almost 3 hrs to see his face again.  For the short 10-15 mins consultation, we booked a slot on 25 Oct for C-sect and weighed her thru ultrasound. 

She weighs about 2.3kg in my 34th week.  Nice size.  :)  About less than a month as we counting down, will be her arrival to our world.

Her movements are stronger these days!

I dunno if it is space limitation now or she is growing much bigger.  Her kicks and punches are stronger than before.

I just watched a DVD from Nat Geo "in the womb", explaining each preganancy week progress.  How I wish the foetus that grows is her.  How come we dun have 4-D image scan?  Then we can really see the whole face of her.

By wednesday, I hope I know what's her current weight and her progress.  My anxiety to see her face to face is stronger.  But I still have 2 months to go thru....Hope time flies faster.

Embark to 3rd trimester

Reaches to the 28th week milestone meant so much to me.  Marching into 3rd trimester is a step closer to welcome her arrival.  Yet, there are still a lot of preparation work has yet to do.  :P  her room has yet to tidy up. 
Her cabinet has not purchase but lucky we have one in mind.  We still couldn't decide the pram we want to get. Lucky other big item such as baby cot, my sister is willing to lend to me.  Though these are the outstanding items, but her stuff is accumulating every week and stack up on the floor unorganise.  I have storage problems to keep all these items...... haizz...

700 grams in 24th week

Yesterday gynae appoinment, we waited 2hrs plus in the private suite for our turn.  From dawn to dusk lo, I'm exaggerated la.  I was seen by another lady gynae because my gynae was too busy attend his long waiting list.   This lady was very friendly, ready to answer any questions from the patient.  She taught us how to count the bb movement.  Continuous movement consider as 1 count.  The next movement occurs with the interval of 5-10mins is consider as 2nd count.  Throughout the whole day, the optimal movement count is about 10.  If less than that, may consider consult the gynae.

She scanned and measured the tummy side of hers to estimate her weight.  She told us according to the size of the tummy, bb 's weight was 700g.  It was just the right figure for her growth. for 24th week :)  We so glad to hear this from her! hee hee. Hahaha, now I know bb's tummy measurement can estimate the weight.  I learnt something new.

Updates...

Completed my adv diploma in Business Management and gotten a nice certification from MDIS and University of Bradford.  Will stop my education during this period till my princess is out in this world.  Hopefully by then I still have energy to obtain a Bach in Business in near future.

As my gynae indicated my placenta was low, cardio viscular exercises were advised to be avoided.  We found out from the therapist that aqua-aerobics is actually a cardio viscular exercise.  Therefore, we thought that walking is the most suitable exercise I could take.

Reach the first year of thirties

My biggest gift in 1st year of 30s is her.

Tiong-san told me when he saw any pretty lady in mrt or bus, he will imagine what she will be like in 20 years time.  She will have his eyes or my chin etc...very pretty lo, hahaha

This month I happened to have a bit of bonus and happened my shoes are torn at the tip.  I just bought a pair of shoes from Bata during yesterday lunch. :)  Pamper myself, hee hee.  See the blue shoes..  Then on my way to meet Tiong-san after work, my old shoes soles just give way to themselves.  hahaha. I'm thinking it's fated for me to buy another shoes on the same day.  So went to Vivo and purchased the black.  It was a shoes day!  The similarity about these 2 pairs are, both uses tiny holes as the shoes design.

Almost 6 months...

I'm looking more and more forward to the day she is welcome to earth.  Feeling she grows each day, is a wonderful feeling.  Many commented that I did not look like 6 mths pregnant though.  As long as the bb is healthy, any comment doesn't matter much. 

The movements of hers are stronger each week.  I can't wait for the next scan to see what is she doing when I feel her moves. 

I gained about 4 kg so far and my appetite is slowly increasing by the number of meals I take each day.  Then I also take pix of my growing tummy, observe the changes on me.

Tiong-san has put his very best each day to delight me with his jokes and acts and pre-occupy with his tons of work.  I think is tough on him.  Recently, he injured his lower back while helping on chores. I wanted to lighten his load in the house, but well, many high and low tasks i'm not allow to do.  Avoid to carry heavy items too.  It was hard on him to handle so much, I must say.

I'm going to miss the evenings with him soon when his next school term start in a week time.  He has 3 days in a row spending his evenings in lecture theater for the next 6 weeks.  :(  Any suggestions in what should i do during these evenings?

Our princess :)

Awaited long for the amnio result, my anixety grew more till i couldn't wait any longer on my appointment day.  I called up Clinic D a few days before my appointment, just after I finished my paper.  Took me the whole day to get thru and got hold of the nurse to find out the result.  The result turned out to be just fine  :)  What a relief!

Will be expecting a bb gal.  Tiong-san and I betted on the gender and he won the bet.

Blog new look...

yo yo, check out my blog new look.  Nothing fancy, but it's good to have a fresh look, isn't it? :)

Completed adv dip with an imperfect ending...

I should be super happy to clear my last paper yesterday, but my examination mood was spoilt by kena scolded from an invigilator. 

Firstly, I was sotong to rem the wrong table number and place my stuff on my fren's table instead.  Left the room to the loo before the examination starts and came back kena scolding in front the whole class like a teenage student and been threaten to bar from exam.  The reason he gave was i leave the room w/o permission, which in the first place I was not aware of it.  He even said I should apologize right at first, before given any excuses.  I was baffled and felt so unjust for scolded for no valid reason.  To settle it swift, I apologized and he still not accepted and insist I should had done it in the first place.

So unreasonable and rude...

Made me even worse when he came over my seat that he didn't mean to threaten to bar me as he knew we paid a lot for the course.  So fake! and unscrupulous!  My tears just dropped out of my control... I so sensitive...My mind just want to finish the paper asap and got out of the room soon.

Good rest at home

Amnio test was done on wed, May 26.  I was feeling terrible after that.  Not sure was gastric or the after effect or both so I was bed rested for the whole day and worried for bb.  After bed rest, I felt much better.  Nurse told Tiong-san  had to look for symptoms for 5 days, so undergone home observation for the past few days and my condition seems ok.  Tiong-san has been feeding me and taking care of me.  My sinsei oso asked me to eat more since I din gain much weight. 

I tend to be very sleepy around 4-5pm and steal some time for a nap.  Moreover, on top of that I noticed I need 10 hrs of sleeping everyday to feel rejuvenate.  Even going out for a short while, could make me feel lerthagic.

I praying my amnio test result will be alright and i will know the gender in 2 weeks time.  Pls pray hard for me and bb!

Done cardiac test...

It took me almost 2 hrs plus to complete the whole cardiac yesterday afternoon.  I have been in and out of the ADC room about 4 times to complete the full scan.  bb quite naughty and shy yesterday because the last step to complete whole scan was to see bb's nasal bone.  bb don't seem to corporate with the sonographer.  I had to go out walk walk for 5 mins, but bb naughty hor.  I even try to go toilet to release some water to try, also not successful.  I got to wait for another patient to finish her scan before we could continue.  So I told tiong-san, children loves mac.  Why not we ate french fries while waiting? 

I think it really works, because when we return back.  I think I could felt bb sleepy (I was sleepy too).  I believe this time round should work.  But Tiong-san thought otherwise.  So we gave it our last attempt, and yes...

We decided to try amnio test in 2 weeks time', and pls hope this end our anxiety.

I passed my first trimester :)

Hi,

I have an exciting, wonderful news to break.  I'm in my 13th week and the bb should be around nearly 70mm big.  Tiong-san has been thrilled and unbelievable to the miracle happened.  Both of us are thankful for our families praying for us all these while.

I used up quite a fair bit of my medical leave to do the follow-up appt and other tests in KK.  Hopefully, I have enough to last this year.

Upcoming, is cardiac test, i hope the results are good.  I want bb well and healthy, that's most important.  BB have been very good to me, just made me very tired and sleepy for the 1st trim.   I'm sorry I have been very sick for the past few days, BB must be not feeling good either.

I must thank chinese sinsei I'm seeing, i believe eating his med really helped to make miracle happened.

P.S:  For constipation, consume high fiber fruits such as kiwi, banana(i dun eat).

What happened to me recently?

POM and BIS all Bs.  I'm still a B-grade student.  Woo-hoo. hahaha  Next sem about to start in Mar.  Left Finance and Econ.  :)

I went for diagnostic imaging to check any blockage in the my womb on 9 feb.  It was a procedure to do before going for IVF.  I still need to do blood test in Mar.  The result from the diagnostic imaging was good :)  Both of us were thrilled and unexpected with the result.  This is just the first step to the good sign, i guess.

Hong Kong Trip crossing over from 2009 to 2010

Back from Hong Kong on 3rd Jan 2010, felt that I couldn’t get used to the weather here. I enjoyed the 18 degree Celsius temperature in Hong Kong and found it hot in Singapore even it was about 25 degree Celsius.

It was my first countdown in overseas and with Tiong-san. A different kind of fireworks show over the Hong Kong island and the main attention was focus on IFC tower, the tallest building in Hong Kong. It was a crazy night, people mostly youngster were celebrating madly. We had a hard time to go back hotel, was a good experience on how Hong Kong citizens spent their countdown.

I have an emotional visit to the Big Buddha in Lantau Island. Probably it was a foggy day and the Buddha was hidden in the fog. In order to see, the only way is to climb the long stairs all the way. Along the way to go up, I thought of the past of my endometriosis. Holding Tiong-San hands, I know that was over. I felt his support and encouragement to get me to the end. Our yearning for a child was strong at that moment. When we reached at the feet of the Buddha, I glad and touched, at the same time feeling comfort to be close to Him. It was an amazing journey and fortunate to have Tiong-san all these times.

It was Tiong-san first time in Hong Kong and we tried to cover as much places as possible in our 5 days Free & Easy trip. We went to Peak and Lan Kwai Fong on our first night. Din get to c any hong kong stars. The next day took the 360 degree cable car to Lantau and back to Tung Chung citygate shopping centre for some shopping and countdown at the harborcity side. On New Year day, we went out late to Ocean Park and spent the whole day there. Later part at night, we spent time at Causeway Bay and found a very nice local claypot cuisine for dinner. But the location of the dinner was at a small alley, beside the roadside. You can imagine eating at the roadside in unclean condition. But to experience eating like a Hong Kong citizen was indeed fun and memorable. Thanks to Tiong-san’s navigation skills. On the 2nd last day, we went to Tsim sha Tshui to eat and shop for the whole day. The population was so dense, everywhere was just packed. By the night, we settle our seafood dinner at Temple street. It was delicious and the price was around Singapore cze char price. The next day, we did our last minute shopping at easyshop and H&M before heading to airport.

I think my preference for fireworks is more towards Singapore, cos my fav meteor-like shower was not seen in Hong Kong. Now I appreciate more on the fireworks back home.

Mood in office today....

Today seems an emotional day to start 2nd week of 2010. The news of my director passed away on 9 Jan broke off in the office. Deputy Director was pretty affected by her death and to us, it was too sudden accept. Last Friday, unofficial news was announced she will be retiring on Feb and over a weekend the status changed.


The mood in the office is surreal of solemnity and quietness.
