mid week finalyl!

someting to light up my mid week. i've received my baby gap rompers!!! happies =D
I've got the purple baby owl..
flower..
and a little doggie!!
these 2 days, i've been amazed at how often emma is waking up. some assumptions i've made up myself.

- consecutive kickings means she is awake
- singular kicks means she's jus kicking in her sleep

consecutive kickings really amazes me. for someone who has been only in my tummy for 5 months, its pretty cute. she would kick bout twice, then i would tap back at the same spot where she kicked, she would reciprocate back with more kicks!! this continues for about 2-3 tappings. this really amazes me. and the kicks, is a inkling kinda feeling. not light and tickish. but not too strong and painful. so far, i've been loving it. =)

yummies bf~~

the leftover of my american twister kfc bf. i was delicious!!! except i dont like the cheese smell

pregnancy relief

one ting i will never miss bout pregnancy. ppl asking me 'you can drink tis meh?'

i was about to buy gong cha. then tis other collegue ask, 'u can drink meh?'

i feel like replying, 'got poison? y canot drink?'

i do not see why i have to totally avoid certain food jus cause im pregnant. and someone with medical cert already said, theres noting that needs to be avoided, jus take with moderation.

irritating the hell out of me. seriously, i rather they jus mind their own biz. i'm sure i can make sure that emma stays alive even after drinking my no ice longan red date with white pearl jelly.

hectic long wkend...

finally ended our ultra hectic day. we woke up at 7am, then went for a our monthly gynae visit to see Emma. everyting is good, as far as we're happy to know, its still a emma, and shld be staying this way. you cant really confirm 100% until she really comes out and we see the real thing. but anyway, its an emma.

dr lee was showing us her face, eyes, nose, lips.. somehow, she looks quite like an alien. i can't really say she's pretty for now.. then her hands, fingers, toes, legs. and of coz, shes always moving. turning here and there. stretching her hands and legs. its really quite cute. =)

after the gynae visit, we rushed off for my yoga class that starts at 10:15am. since i've been there a couple of times, i kinda got the hang of it.

like i said, it is a hectic day. the class ends at 11:30am. we had to rush off for a quick lunch, as our first lesson of prenatal class starts today, at 2pm.

we signed up for the class from thomson, by a quite popular mdm wong. half of the first lesson was on prenatal exercise. and all of it, was a repeat of my yoga session. she made us practice thru it, which some of it i dint do. cause i still havent recover from the morning yoga! but it kinda reassured me that my choice of doing yoga is right. because initially i was quite skeptical about it. i just wanted a form of exercise, and i dint really know what was suitable. when i mentioned that i was going to do yoga to dr lee, he doesnt sound very encouraging, but he wasnt against it. he said yoga is a indian in a cave. i went ahead anyhows. actually i doubt the crash course on the exercise is useful to majority of the couples who attended the class, cause it was really super crash course. when i attended the first yoga class, i tot i could practice it at home. then i realise, i couldnt remember much of the moves.

the other half of the class was quite useful. talk about the diet. how to 'communicate' with emma. then i realise, rubbing the tummy is actually not good, cause it creates whirlpools. the baby is afterall surrounded by a big bag of water.

she explained how the myths of not bathing and washing hair during confinement come about. its because ancient ppl had to use river water to bath, and they couldnt stitch up their wound. so they had to wait for 3 wks for the wound to recover because they can bath for fear of infection. they dont wash their hair, was because hair dryer wasnt invented at that time. and many others useful info. so, looking forward to the next session!

the class ended at 4.30pm. and we had a show to catch at 5pm!
i'm not a big fan of movies, where the male and female lead dint get together. so. yeah. i dint like the show.

tomorrow. another hectic day. so much is happening this wkend, it felt like a long wkend.
half of which, we're treating ourselves to gold class of breaking dawn!!! looking forward to it, cause its my favorite series of the book as well.
till tomorrow!

overweight

e gynae says ive gained too much weight. how is tat possible!!!??!!! anyway im suppose to cut down on carbos.

no more brani for lunch =(

pissed friday morning

tis morning, someone saw me shoppin online for rompers, and i received a comment 'eh you buying baby clothes now??!! your brain pai gao jin jialat' (your brain is damn spoilt in hokkien)

i was fuming mad for the whole day. seriously, you can say im a ultra kiasu parent, or eager. but i strongly believe my brain is working just fine. having lived my life and having what i have and being where i am now, i strongly believe my brain is working just fine.

im in wk 19, hitting my halfway mark of pregnancy. i bought my baby clothes when we went usa in march, before i was pregnant. i still believe i made the right choice and i do not regret my decision at all. because, i cant possibly fly down usa and get the rompers now realising im pregnant. and i do not see clothes as buying on a need to basis, waiting till the baby is arriving in my last trimester then start shopping for the sake of covering up my child. which i may not find anyting i like. having shopping for baby clothes over the past 5 months, i do noe there is really not much range tat i like in sg.

so, i know clearly what im doing. not with a faulty brain.

gg to attend a collegue's wedding at shang. finally got to wear a dress i bought at rcs last month!


i bought it at a normal shop, from aussie, cant rememeber e name of the shop. at level 1 of rcs.

the good: its not maternity range, its the normal range and its at size s. so i can still wear it after!

the bad: nobody can tell im pregnant =(


unless i do this ALL the time.


while im lookin pretty and with make up all on a weekend, hubs took a passport size foto for me. coz my passport expires in aug next yr, so i need to renew it soon coz it wldnt be valid if we were to go hawaii.

lalallal saturday

today's yoga was good. it was a different teacher, which i tot was good. cause the routines are quite different, but the moves are more or less the same. but tis teacher explain the most. initially was a bit skeptical, because when i first saw her, she was a 45-50 yr old AM auntie. then she later explained that shes done tis teaching for the past 12 yrs, and thru the class, she did prove tat. one of the postures, she went into the details of delivery, which kinda freak me out. she explained wat kinda posture trained what kinda muscles and how it will aid deliver, and it does goes into the details like the vagina area and thigh, which area should be relaxed during delivery so that the baby can come out easier. because as each contraction comes, the area will become tensed up, hence the need to practice to relax the area muscle.

ok enuff yoga talk.

blogging while emma is kicking.. which is wat i'm currently enjoy =)

yesterday was my coy's dnd, n coz sunday i gota attend a wedding. i dont have enuff clothes to go around for 2 consecutive events. so i sacrificed one.


tis was my pre pregnancy dress. it was my only stretchy dress tat i can fit into. and i dint wana waste $$ buying another dress. but of coz after yesterday night, that dress is out of shape leow. do i look fat? i tink it does make me look fat. the oni consolation is, i get to wear my heels!! the whole nite i was bumping around in the heels happily, it was like a mould for my feet, fitted nicely!! after 4.5 months of no heels, its really happy to be able to wear it back!!

irritated

i get quite irritated by ppl who now likes to question wat i eat/drink.

i was about to buy chrysanthemum tea. then this collegue saw tat i was gg to get someting from a liang cha shop:'why you always drink liang cha? you can drink meh?'

me: when you saw me drink liang cha?

her: last wk you drank right?

me: ya, and when?

her: mmm (silence)

me: you oni saw me drink once last wk, and once tis wk. i dint even drink the past few months. how isit 'always'?

actually i dont see them as being concern. its jus their perception of wat pregnant woman can eat and canot eat. then they see, and they jus wana say. its jus one person saying from her pt of view. but wat im hearing, its almost everyday someone telling me, u can eat this? u can eat tat?

as per my gynae, which i find professional enuff than those hearsay and old wives tales. everything can be eaten in moderation. as long as you dont go overboard like eat 10 pineapples at one serving. even you not pregnant aso someting will happen. eat with common sense.

Aloha sunday~~

Tiring. Planning for our potential hawaii trip nex april hopefully. Crossing our fingers, we will be able to leave baby emma and go for some couple-ly time. Many have been very negative about our trip, so we'll see how it goes. There r many fears, apart from the PAIN during delivery that i do not wana tink bout now, one of which is losing each other as a couple. I'll leave that for the next post.

Now its hawaii time!!!

Theres not much flights. Sq's one are operated by united airlines, havent heard much good bout it. So its jus pretty much left with jal or ana.

Read some of the itinereries, and forums on hotels. Ok. Enuff for tis wkend.

HAPPY SATURDAY~~~

today we were almost at a shopping spree. it was pure accidental. i was suppose to ran a few errands while waiting for hubs to finish cutting his hair in taka. i went topshop to collect my maternity jeans tat ive sent for alteration. finally ive got proper jeans, hope it can last me all the way. then went to go get rebonding shampoo at jeric, all task to be done at ion. on the way to taka to meet hubs, will collect my mango card.

of coz, accidents happen along the way. and theres a price to pay. *TADAAAA*


kinda love at first sight. so it wasnt a difficult decision, considering im on flats on a daily basis,

then i went to get new bras. my boobies finally can get some breathing air. they've expanded, and extensions are not enuff. managed to get some good deal on the bras, so i finally can be comfy!!

so monday ill have new shoes and new bra to face a potential horrible week at work.

saturday

jus finish my 2nd class of prenatal yoga. i can foresee i'll have difficulty standing or walking tml. my thighs will ache worse than last wk. today lessons were more straining than last wk, various positions i couldnt push as far, or hold as long. and after i while i was perspiring and tired already.

my bump is definately bigger than last wk. the growth of baby emma is quite obvious tis wk, even hubs tink so too! it wasnt like e first few months, my belly was barely growing.

and tis wk, i felt baby emma light kicks!! i feel it bout a few times a wk, but i gota be quite still sitting or lying.

i've gained about 4kg, now at 51kg. baby emma's at wk 17 turning 18 now. its quite weird seeing the weight machine telling me im in the 50s. 5 is quite scary for me. the last time i was there, was during my first semester in perth. i gained bout 10kg in 3 months. faster than when i'm pregnant. hahhaah

li-ren is at some google feast. im at mr teh terik


finish the not so nice mee
goreng


ive prob gotten used to jalan kayu's mee goreng. tis is way too dry and.. not nice. but yes i stil finish most of it. haha

during the first trim, i was telling myself, i will not go thru tis again. coz i was gg thru a spell of constant nauseous, CONSTANT. n it made me felt miserable. but now tinking back. it wasnt that bad. im enjoying my 2nd trim already!! how forgetful can women get? haha

lallala

im slightly overjoyed, tat after years of high utility bill, we have finally found the source - hub's late nights. the study room lights that he's been using.

finally the secret is revealed!!

long wkend!!

i'm glad we're watching a movie at 11:20am. i'll be bored to death. considering i'm awake since 5am. so we're catching tin tin!!


its been a while since we've caught a movie. and the hubs is definately complaining. the first trimester was quite sleepy throughout. i couldnt make past a 2 hr shopping trip. there was once, we had to stop at starbucks so that i could take a nap. so we barely went out. now that i'm in my 2nd trim, its much better (obviously considering i woke up at freaking unearth hour of 5am!). so we were back to our normal regime. last wkend we went out to meet our frens.


then tis wkend was quite packed. Friday night we went for 2 rounds of dinner, one to use our groupon voucher at micheangleos, the other to meet li-ren's frens. then sat, we went... eh.. i forget.. let me tink.. k cant remmber.

sunday, we went shopping at ion in the morning, then at noon we went anchorage. and today we're going for movies!! yippies!

ok. sat, let me recall. ohh!! i went for yoga in the morning, then in the noon we went kaki bukit hyperstore and got our quinny buzz stroller. =)
have a great long wkend!!!!



Hubby hubs hubs =)

Every morning, hubs will wake up with a chirpy mood. I mean EVERY. Theres not a single morning tat we were together tat he wakes up emo, or bad mood to start e day. (Btw, im bloggin this at 5am. Coz i jus cant get bac to sleep.) bac to hubs. Normally i wake up first to wash up, then he will start to crawl out of bed. He will then start off the day with a little skit of the day tats really funi. It can be a song, a dance in his jus wake up face, or jus a purely funy scene/act. Today, while i was at the other side putting on my toner, he called me. And i came back to this.

Everyone in sunning position.


you noe how ppl gets overwhelm by their motherhood instincts after childbirth, and the hubby gets drifted away in priority in the mother's heart. I really hope mine doesnt. Without hubs, there will not be our baby in the first place.

today we went to cotton on outlet, tis time more focus. so we only got girl staff obviously..
