Day 123 (25/12): Merry Christmas

Today is a very special date. Karen is Day 123, embarking into her 4th month. I still remember last year, I caught a flu and went to see doctor half suspecting I'm pregnant. It was the most meaningful xmas gift i ever had. During that time, tiny Karen was 5 weeks old.

I still can't get the falling scene from my head. The moment I saw her crying on the floor with legs and hands squeezing together. My heart really pain. I'm so regret for what had happened. I promised I will never let it happen again.

Day 121: Big mistake!

My precious baby fell off from our adult bed this evening!

I went downstairs to collect a brush from our luggage bag. I didn't put her inside her crib or use any pillows to set a boundry for her. I heard her cry from the stairs. When I reached my bedroom, she's nowhere to be found on the bed! I saw her lying on her back crying! I quickly picked her up, she's crying with her eyes closed. I felt so horrible. I kept on saying sorry to her.

Quickly brought her to KPJ emergency to do checkup. Doctor said she's fine. As long as she doesn't vomit or become inactive, she'll be fine. But i still feel horrible. I'm so regret about the incident. I hope Karen's angel was around when it happened. I'm willing to exchange my life to undo everything. Nothing is more precious than Karen right now.

God, I need to beg you again. Karen might need your blessing to overcome the fear she's having now. I really hope she's back to normal again tomorrow. God bless.

Day 105

My precious baby Karen has finally passed through her 100 days. This was something I hoped for since the day she was born.

Why 100 days?

During my confinement, I guess I might have suffered from postnatal depression. I got so stress if Karen cries. I didn't know what to do with her when she cries. Until the extend I had to use an ear plug & drown myself with songs almost every night. I felt better with the ear plug on. Baby was sleeping with CL next room, but I really cannot hear the baby cries. Plus I had insomia throughout my confinement. Really tiring. During that period of time, I really hope for 100 days where Karen is less cranky and I can enjoy all the good food.

Karen is a fast learner. At Day 102, she knows how to grab the things she wants. At Day 105, she knows how to withdraw her milk bottle nipples and put it back into her small tiny mouth. She's now in the process learning how to crawl and holding her own milk bottles.

Once again, I would like to thank God for being so kind to me. God had given me a cute pretty baby with a good brain. There's nothing else I could ask for. Thank you so much.

Day 91

Karen is officially 13 weeks old.

She was trying so hard to flip over last saturday night. Everytime she failed to flip over, she cried pitily until i had to pick her up and console her. The next morning, she successfully flip over in front of my eyes. I was so happy to witness her new skill. It happened on Day 86. 

Karen is starting to have a special bond with me. Whenever she cries, only me able to calm her down. No one can except ME. Currently I'm still on breastfeeding. My milk production is low ever since confinement. But nothing could stop me. 

Day 81

Holding Karen in my arm when i type this.

She is direct latching from me currently. Halfsleeping.

I think she has nipple confusion. This is the 3rd day already. She refused to drink from mill bottles.

Day 22

"Hi", said Karen.

Karen was born on the 25 August 2012, one day after her due date. I'm not going to explain the difficult process i went through now. Karen is safe. She is pretty. Very prefect.

Thank God for being so kind to me. Thank you so much. I know sometimes I ask for too many things. But only God could bring me courage and strength to go on.

Baby Karen has rashes on her butt. I really pity her. Some how I could feel her pain. I feel like crying with her.

God, please relief her pain, ok? I beg You, please. She also has digestion problem that results her to spilt out milk after feeding. I hope she could recover as soon as possible.

39W 6D

Two weeks ago, I was so worried and nervous about the delivery.  I kept on reading articles about contraction pain and delivery process.  And also start to imagine those horrible experience I will face during the delivery process.  

One week gone.  I'm still here.  Karen still happy camping inside.  Probably too comfortable and would like to stay longer.  We went to see Dr Lee this morning to check on her.  Everything is fine.  She is fat!  Aikss..  Guess what is her weight now?

She's 3.0kg+!!

Dr Lee says it is the baby who controls the contraction pain.  So Karen has to work extra hard to induce the pain in me so that I can deliver her.


Baby Karen, mummy really hope you can come out now.  Mummy used to tell you to stay inside because during that time your weight is too light, therefore not good to come out as premature baby.  Now you are "ripe" enough to come out.  Mummy and Daddy are waiting for your arrival already.  See you soon sweety!

 

 

39W 2D

Moving into my 39 weeks already.  Karen still happily kicking inside.  "You still don't want to come out, Karen?"

I am currently in waiting mode.  I have started my leave since Monday.  Usually will stay at home online or play with Sasa's puppies.  Keep on washing and clearing messy stuffs while waiting for Karen's arrival too.

Around 1 month ago, I had a dream.  I dream of myself giving birth to Karen.  The experience of giving birth (in the dream) is as easy as pass motion.  I really wish my dream would come true.  But that dream will remain a dream forever la.  "Contraction pain is no joke", a friend told me. 

I have some crampy feeling on my abdomen almost everyday, but nothing serious.  It usually last about 10-15 secs and disappear.  But I have really bad backaches lately.  Someone said she had waist pain during contraction.  So far I do not have any waist pain yet.  

I have a feeling that Karen's head is bumping the piece of sheets that separate her and my vagina.  I also experience some weird feeling on my back.  Is she coming?  Tonight?  :D

Thinking about the delivery really scare me off.  But what to do, it's like judgement day, I can't avoid.

Grandma told me she prayed to God to protect me and lil' Karen that everything will be smooth.  The power of God really calm me and bring me courage.



Dear God, 

It's been a long time since I talked to you.  How are you?  Baby Karen is about to come out very soon and I'm so nervous.  I know you will guide me when I need help every time.  I also believe you could give me courage, strength and strong support to pass through hard times like this.  With YOUR light shining down on me, I could endure whatever pain that comes across me.  I promise I will be a good mother and protect my baby like how you protect me.  Thanks for protecting me throughout the 9 months.  Because of you, I do not get any nauser or any complicated health issue during the whole pregnancy.  Thank you, God.

Yours faithfully.

It's getting near!  It's getting near!!

15 days to go. Oh me... I really don't know how to describe this feeling.  Feeling so mixed.  Happy, anxious, scares, uncertainty and many more.

See how time flies.  I'm going into Week 38!  A big applause to myself! *clap*  It's not easy to "walk" that far.  Carrying a bump which is more than 10kg everyday, suffering from backaches since month 4, having to eat supplements everyday and taking care of my body and health.

I'm going for maternity leave next week.  But I have a feeling I will deliver out Karen either this week or next week.  Woohh... 

I've been wondering how contractions feels like.  Last Friday when I was having dinner with Hubby at Tarot Cafe.  Almost finish my meal, I had a very bad feeling in my stomach.  I don't feel well.  I could feel lots of gas in my stomach.  The feeling is a bit like gastric.  Cramp all over and feel like going to the washroom.  I told Hubby to leave that place and head home.  When I reached home, I felt much better.  I quickly pack my hospital bag for the final round, clear the mess in the house, and took a warm shower plus washing my hair.  After I passed motion and finish bathing, the pain was gone although I still have a little bit of cramp on my tummy :S   After that Karen was kicking happily inside, hmm... teasing at mummy ya??  I was so ready that night.  If anything happens middle of the night, take my bag and go to hospital.  But eventually, nothing happens until morning.  It's a false alarm! :D

After that Friday, I was mentally prepared that I will go into labour anytime.  I washed Karen's bedsheets and prepared her bed on Saturday.  On Sunday, Hubby and I went to General Hospital to survey where to park our car and which floor is the labour ward.    

Then two days ago (Monday) after shopping for groceries, I got into my car and ouch... there's another pain.  This pain is different.  Something like period pain. The same question popped into my head: "Am I going for labour again?"  After pain for 1 min like that, it ends.  I guess this is how a braxton hicks feels like.  Braxton Hicks is false contractions.  Not as pain as real contractions.  After my Braxton Hicks, I still can go shop for some bread and went home.  

I've told Karen on Monday that we are going for Japanese Cuisine.  Then going for another Western Fusion on Tuesday.  So she better behave well inside.  Then before my Western Fusion last night, I started to have back pain.  After the meal, I started to have hard stomach.  I read in some websites that this is sign of labour too.  Tummy will turn as hard as rock, have back pain and period pain at the same time.  Some says the feeling is like want to go for a poop.  So the whole night I have tummy as hard as rock, and suffering from period pain.  But still, nothing happens.

Giving birth is a process cannot be avoided.  No matter I like it or not, I'm going to General Hospital and do my best to deliver out Karen.  Others can do it, why can't I right?  

I'm having hard stomach again now.  I don't think it is Karen stretching inside.  It's the expanding of my uterus to get ready for delivery.  I also having lots of gas in my stomach.  Feel like pooping too.

Karen, mummy and daddy loves you.  We are going to see you soon.  Remember to smile when you meet mummy ya? ;D


 

33W 5D

Baby Karen has been making lots of hiccups everyday.  I think more than 4 times a day and it lasts about 3-5 mins each time. Before I experienced a baby hiccup inside my stomach, I used to wonder how does it feels like. 

I first experienced it was like 1 month ago. I kept on feeling heart beat rhythm near my pelvis area, usually very near to my batok. At first I thought it was Karen's heart beat. But for god's sake, why go and press her heart near my batok?  Then I remember baby usually has faster heart beat, so very unlikely this one belongs to my baby's heart.  My husband has been telling me it's baby's kick.  Awww... Karen doesn't kick in rhythm for more than 2 mins loh~ So it's impossible the sound coming from baby's kicking.

After sometime, I finally figure out what it is.  It is the hiccups from my baby :D  I start to imagine Baby Karen burping inside.  How cute.  But pity her at the same time.  I doesn't like hiccups.  It's torturing because it makes you tired really fast.  I bet Karen doesn't like it either.  I read in some article that baby hiccups inside the womb because they are developing their lungs and learning how to breathe.  So Karen is a fast learner and very hardworking too!

Every morning when hubby's handphone alarm went off, I will need to ask him to switch off his phone alarm because it is bugging me.  Every time I talked to my husband, Baby Karen starts to kick me.  Many times I was really tired that I didn't even want to bother her kicks.  But this girl goes and kick kick kick until I have no choice but to wake up.  It looks like she could hear me clearly from inside.  After I woke up, she will snooze back to sleep.  Isshh...


Many of my friends start to give birth.  Two of them gave birth at Week 36 and 37.  If I'm going to have a pre-matured birth just like the two of them, I will be giving birth end of this month, which is another 3 weeks to go!  OMG.. makes me really tension & nervous niah~

I started cleaning and washing baby's clothes and my clothes to welcome Baby Karen.  I've also started to pack my hospital bag. Around 80% complete. Next is to clean confinement lady's room and wash all the rugs at home.  Should be done by next weekend.

32W 2D

I was on MC yesterday.  Had a sight flu three nights ago.  It got worst the next day.  I don't want to fall sick again like the previous time.  I had sore throat.  Scare it got worst and turned to cough.  Since doctor medication fees are free, just blast my company benefit. Who cares.

We waited for around 1 hour to have our turn to see Dr Lee.  Karen was so happy kicking inside when we were waiting for our turn.  But when the Dr scan my stomach, Karen kept so still inside.  I think she knows what's going on.  She pretended to keep hand close to her face.  I can see her fingers.  1,2,3,4,5... so cute~~  Her lungs has developed and she's now learning how to breath on her own.  I can see her breathing so hard until her neck area keep on moving :P


Karen was 1.6kg yesterday.  Her head is really stucked in my Pelvis already.  A thin sheet separates her head and my virgina.  Hopefully my "thin sheet" will not give way easily.  I want her to born at least middle of August.  Not too early and not too late.

Usually fetal weight should be 1.7kg at Week 32.  Baby Karen is lack of 0.1g at the moment.  By Week 33, Karen's weight should increase up to 1.9kg. 


"Baby Karen, you have to increase your weight by 300gm this week ya. Mummy will drink a lot of soya bean milk to increase your weight this week :D"




 

31W 6D

I visited the washroom at least 5 times (within 15 mins once) before I went to bed last night.  Karen has been doing karate kicks to my bladder area continuously. Very, very playful girl.  Luckily she only does that before bed time.  The more I told her not to kick, she will kick it on purpose @_@"

Every morning after I wake up and if she's moving inside, I will rub my belly greeting her with: "Good morning Karen, 你醒醒了哈？"  Usually she will kick happily inside ;)

When it comes to bath time, I will informed her that we are going to have a bath.  I remember once I went into a cold shower without telling her, she kicks me as if she's shocked to have a sudden of cold sensation all over her.  From that incident onwards, I will talked to her first before I jumped into the shower.  She usually stays still when I shower.  Not sure why.  Could be afraid of water?  Hahhaha!

And last night, she kept on kicking non stop until I have to shut down my movie and go to bed.  While lying on the bed, she continued kicking until I have to cool her down by singing her some nursery songs zzzzz  The amazing part is the nursery songs work!!  After singing her 4 songs, I put on 10 mins lullaby until I fell asleep myself >_<!!

I woke up early this morning to reheat some Pau for hubby. And cook some hot water for my breakfast.  Finally I "launched" my Thermos!  I keep some hot water inside, brought it to office to make some milk for myself.  After 4 hours inside, the water still very hot.  Really satisfy with my purchase this time.  Worth every penny spent on it :D

30W 1D

See how time flies, I'm carrying Karen for 30 weeks already. Another 10 weeks to go and you will start seeing Karen appearing inside this blog.


From now on I will blog more. A friend told me I will miss my pregnancy stage after Karen pops out. Ya, I think I will miss pregnancy where I get full attention and priority especially at home.

I went to Maybank few days ago. Surprisingly they do not have any priority counter for the elderly and pregnant women :(  The place was packed with people and I need to wait 25 numbers before my turn. There were no empty seats for me, so I just stood at the corner. Most of the men are sitting comfortably and refused to let their seats to me. After standing there for 2 mins, a lady stood up and let me have her seat. I said thanks to her and may God bless her for being so kind.


Anyway, I bought an expensive thermos for myself and BB Karen. Bought it online for around RM120+ including postage.  This Thermos Brand thermos capacity is 750ml. I'm going to ask my CL to keep soup/ drinks for me inside this thermos during my confinement. After my confinement period, I can also used it keep porridge and soup for BB Karen. I can also bring it out to prepare milk for BB Karen when we are outside. Since it can serve so many purpose, RM120+ is consider a reasonable price for me.

29W 3D

She's Karen.  I think "Karen" is a sweet name.  Short, precise and confident.

I talked to Karen a lot, as if she understands every word I talk to her.  I also downloaded some nursery rhymes and played to Karen at night.  I think she likes it.

Karen's development is growing rapidly every day.  I can feel the way she kicks me also different. First, she just kicks.  She always shocked me when she gives me her mighty kick out of a sudden.  Then she starts to rub me hard using her feet.  I could feel my stomach skin stretch when she rubs me.  Few days later she learns new skill, that is to do a two direction kick! Wow...


Karen is very alert when she hears our alarm clock in the morning.  She will move around and kick me when she hears it.  She is so cute...


We went to see Dr Lee again last week.  She said Karen's head is now position at the pelvis bone.  There is a possibility that she will born earlier.  


Seeing all my fb friends already delivered their baby, makes me more eager to see Karen.  I've been talking to Karen asking her not to come out until mid of August.  I want her to fully develop before she's born.  


Karen ah Karen, Mummy loves you...!!

Mommy has a bad backache recently.  Ouch.  Really pain.  Wonder what has cause my backache because it is always on my right side.  In order to ease the pain, I usually wrapped my arms to the back and place my hands on the spot.  Else I would have a warm shower, it really helps.  These two nights Mommy has been practicing Yoga before sleeping.  I guess it helps too.

I wonder what is she doing inside.  She's pretty active.  I remember two to three weeks ago when I was having some Japanese snacks Hubby brought back from Japan, she was having a good time inside.  I guess she starts to have her own taste bud.  I was sick during that time and most of the food that went into my mouth is tasteless.

Talking about falling sick, I fell sick last week.  It all started off with a minor sore throat.  After having a good Sushi King Parents Day's promotion set, my sorethroat got worst because of the tempura. Bought Wood's peppermint sweets but they didn't help at all.  I caught a call after that.  Heavily flu and sneezing for 2 days.  Didn't take any medicines to avoid complication.  After the flu just about to go, my coughing starts.  My coughing got worst after two days.  No choice I went to see the doctor.  The doctor gave me some antibiotics and cough syrups.  I only had the antibiotics.   And now I'm as healthy as a before :D


I don't want sore throat, flu, sneeze and cough.  Don't want baby to jerk inside my stomach when I cough.  I really pity my baby for that whole week.


Baby's woke up and kicking me now.  I guess she's telling me to go home.  Time for me to cook spaghetti bolognese for her to eat.   Never cook any spaghetti bolognese after I got pregnant. I wonder whether she likes it or not :P

今天是我的生日。 45分钟之后就不再是我的生日了。我要曾着这个机会说点话。

今天的生日是我的最后一个“单生”生日。 明天的今天，我的身边不只有一位好老公， 还有一位可爱 girl girl 陪着我。

老公昨晚就帮我庆祝了生日。 我许了愿。第一就是 baby 可以平平安安的出世。第二就是我身边的每个人可以快快乐乐， 健健康康过日子。

我是大肚破。我相信我的愿望会很灵。

我中午去 scan baby。 Baby 很活泼健康。 我相信这也是上天慈给我的礼物。

好了，我要睡了。 Baby， 你也是睡吧。 Goodnite!

I went to KKIA Sekama for my monthly checkup just now. Reached there around 1.45pm and I got No.25. I was thinking, "Omg, don't tell me I need to wait until 5pm only can go back."

During my last trip there, I reached KKIA at 2pm and got No.35. When I finish my checkup, it's already 5pm.

Today's trip is quite fast. I finished checkup 3pm+. Just like last week, had my urine tested, and finger "kakcak" huhuhuh.. pain... today lagi suffer because I had tetanus injection.

According to the nurse, tetanus injection is for pregnancy mothers whose baby already have movement. Actually the injection is not scary lar. I felt a bit nervous only. Anyway, I witnessed the whole injection process with my own eye and hardly painful at all :D

I'm a brave mummy. I'm a person who enjoy challenging fears. Many people claimed that injection is painful. Many people scare to stay alone in a house. Many people do not dare to sleep alone in hotel. Many people scare of giving natural birth. If you ask me, do I have the choice to decline? Nope. Since I do not have the option, I might as well take it as a challenge.

I hope my baby is also a brave girl girl or boy boy just like mummy. There is nothing to fear. It is the mind that control our fear. So let us work out this natural birth thing together. Gambateh!

Today I'm blogging from Port Dickson. This a lazy Saturday afternoon. Lying on my day bed, I can see the golden beach from my window panes. Many people having fun on the beach. There are sea games like banana boat, sea scooter, kayak, sea paddling, etc.

Mummy had a great trip in Port Dickson. I hope baby is having a great time too. I bet baby is going to become someone very energetic and someone who accept challenge.

Past few days before coming to PD, I have many negative things coming into my mind. But at the end I told myself, no matter I like it or not, I'm going there. So it is me who choose to be happy or not. Since I left with no choice, I might as well enjoy the fun and it really works!

19W 0D

Baby is 19 weeks old today ;P

3 more days for daddy to come home.

I read in some pregnancy books, they did mentioned that Pregnant Women are very emotional. Yup, I totally agree with them ;) It's really hard for me to hide my emotions lately....

I'm feeling much better today. I woke up feeling sad and moody. I also have puffy sore eyes due to the cried last night. I came home in the afternoon to take rest. The house feels so empty. It is no more a home without hubby here. I went back to my sad moody mode feeling pity for myself :(

Suddenly while working today, received a message left by hubby via Facebook! I was so excited. Hubby can online at Kawaguchi Hotel! They have free WIFI at the lobby..! I was so happy when I know that he can use the WIFI for free. I do not need to suffer like last night anymore.

I chatted with hubby for about an hour in Facebook this evening. I think that contribute why I'm feeling better today. After my dinner, hubby called me and we chatted for about 6 mins.

We still have 3 days to count down. 2 lonely nights and I will see him already.

Hubby told me he bought two branded designer bags for me and some clothes for baby. Knowing that he had bought us some presents from Japan really melts my heart. Most importantly, with or without those presents are not important at all, I just want him to be home with me.

Thanks God for being so kind to me today. I know You can't bare seeing me crying again tonight. Thank you so much for passing this difficult times with me.

18W 6D

Tomorrow our baby is 19 Weeks old. I can feel baby moving inside my stomach. So far no kicking yet. Sometimes the movement of baby makes me feel painful. But it's alright. At least I know baby is happy swimming inside.

Today is a bad day for me. Hubby is on working holiday in Japan right now. He departed Kuching on Sunday, leaving behind me and baby. While driving back from the airport, I was thinking maybe I should have accompanied him until he check-in departure hall. But I ended up continue driving home.

Last night was the first night Hubby in Japan. He did called me in the afternoon telling me he is very cold. I guess he called me at a shopping mall via public phone. He said he used 300 Yen to call back here. Then last night he bought a prepaid card to call back. We talked about 3 mins. He told me he bought some cosmetics and beauty products for me. Whee... I was so happy. But when he told me the price, I become very guilty. Cost him 9000 Yen loh. Aiksss.

After my dinner last night, I went home to check my facebook, he left some messages for me. He went to Business Centre to online, which cost him 100Yen for 15 mins. After reading his messages, I suddenly miss him a lot and cried...

Today I'm even worst.

I cried like a baby for around 5 mins in front of Sasa. That stupid dog must think I'm crazy. He called me a bit late today as he had dinner with their principals. When I reached home, I bumped into him on Facebook. We chatted for 15 mins. Hubby reloaded another 100 Yen to chat with me when the time about to finish. When he told me he left with 30 seconds, tears started rolling down my cheeks and I could feel my body shaking in tears. I was staring my screen crying. Even now when I'm writing this, my eyes are covered with tears.

Haiz.... I didn't know I can miss my hubby so badly. I guess our baby misses his "Booboo" sound too.

I always thought that I'm a strong independent person. Today proves me wrong. I'm actually very weak. I remember during my college years, I told my good friend not to step into a serious relationship as it will break our heart when the other party rejects us. I told her proudly that I'm only stepping in with one leg. The other one still outside. Anything bad happens, I just jumped out from the "circle". 8 years passed, hubby and I got married. I've put all my trust to this guy but I still think that I could still stand alone if anything happen. It looks like I'm no more an independent person. I've surrendered not just my both legs into the "circle", but together with my soul. Oh dear.

Every time when hubby went for business traveling, I'm very happy. Because I know I can have "me" time, occupy the whole bed by myself and no one to annoyed me. This trip is totally different. He is so far away from me until the extend I can't contact him at all.

Baby, we just need to bare for another 4 days to go to see daddy again. Today I'm going to accompany you, but I cannot make the "Booboo" sound to you ok. Have to wait daddy back to make that sound :)

I better stop writing now. I can feel tears going to roll down my cheeks again. Hais.

HAPPY 17th WEEK, BABY!!

Mummy went for check up two weeks ago. I saw you very big already (8cm+). You were waving your hands and legs when Dr Lee ultra scan my stomach. Dr Lee said you are healthy. You look gorgeous, Baby!

But we still can't figure out your gender. Nevermind, Mummy can wait. Actually Mummy not eager to know your gender la. Because no matter you are a boy or girl, Mummy will love you more than anything.

Two days ago Mummy went for check up at government clinic. Mummy reached there at 2pm. Aduh, the places was packed. Mummy got No.35 and find a place to sit down. Do you know how long Mummy waited there? 4.30pm only my turn. I was so hungry that time, so were you. Finish checkup at 5pm sharp. What a tiring day for me and you.

Sometimes I can feel you very active inside my stomach. But I'm yet to feel physical kick from you. I started to have some backache. Not feeling good to sleep facing the ceiling anymore. But Mummy loves swimming. Mummy brings you swimming again next week, ok?

Baby, you must stay healthy healthy ok. Don't make Mummy worry. Can't wait to see you in August!

I receive a parcel last week. Guess what it is???


LOL, so fast they send to my house already. Very excited when I saw the mOmma 9 oz rocking milk bottle and the warmer!!


Went to The Spring one evening with hubby and my parents. Anakku has few bundles of cloth 50% discount. This is what I got for my baby. Very cute right? Can't wait to know my baby gender so that I can buy more specific clothes for him or her ;P

Forced to choose colour neutral for both boy and girl baby. Baby baby, are you a girl girl or boy boy ley?

Attended a Pregnancy Forum held by Normal Medical Specialist Centre two Saturday ago with hubby. I'm glad that I attended the forum. This forum solves a lot of questions that has been twisting in my head. Oh ya, and I received lots of freebies from this forum too!

They give one free disposable diaper from Pureen, some leaflets and a good book/ magazine! New Parents by Health Today. Really need to emphasize that this is a really really a superb good book!

Some freebies from Abbott. One pack of NB baby milk powder, one sachet of mummy milk and a multipurpose bag! I was thinking of buying one multipurpose bag for diaper and milk bottles soon. Looks like I no need to buy already. Whoa...Save $!!

Last Saturday I attended the free admission Antenatal Exercise Class alone. I didn't know I can bring along my husband. Thought that it is just an exercise class, so I didn't ask much and attend alone.

Aduh, when I reached there, only I know I can bring my hubby along. Everyone has their hubby accompany them. Me alone ~huhuhu. But it's okay la, I'm an independent person, can handle situation by myself.

The instructor/ teacher is from Netherlands. I like her.

Visited Dr Lee with hubby on Monday. I was so excited when I can see my baby got hands, legs and face already!! Baby very active. Keep on waving and moving his/her legs in my stomach. No wonder I keep on having funny funny feelings in my stomach recently. Last night when I was watching drama at home. My stomach has a geli geli, itchy itchy and painful feeling. I guess it is my baby who poke me because hubby heard noisy bubbling sound coming out from my stomach! Hyper active eh? Love you so much!!

Receive freebies from Dr Lee again. Another Diaper Bag from MeadJohnson. Now I have two. Hehe. She also gave me another pack of NB milk powder. Few sachets of mummy milk too.

I love freebies :)

People thought I'm crazy already. Because I started buying disposable diapers for my baby already. Not I'm crazy la. I'm just being realistic. BDC Everise has promotion on Huggies Diapers. So I bought two packs. Not sure how much I should buy so I bought 1 x NB and 1 x Small. Each pack not only deduct RM 3 (RM 26.90 per pack only!), buy two packs free 1 hoodie bath towel!

Hmmm... maybe I should go back and get another 4 packs... :)

Have been cracking my head these few days on baby products. Asked a few friends and I am now clear what I need and what I don't need.

Milk bottles are unavoidable. I will get something good for my baby. While browsing through Maybank2u Treatspoints section today, I saw this.

mOmma rocking feeding bottle c/w warmer

I redeem this cute bottle and warmer using my Maybank Treatspoints of 14,800. Not exactly cheap but at least I do not need to spend RM70+ to buy this item. Treat it as an expensive gift for my baby from Maybank. mOmma products are quite well known. And this bottle is BPA Free.

What is BPA Free? Don't ask me, I don't know. Avent milk bottles also emphasizing on BPA Free. I guess BPA is something not good for babies.

I will not buy a warmer and sterilizer at the moment. Will use the old method. If the old method really troubles me, still not too late for me to buy the items. Can save RM400+. Top up to buy a Pamco baby cot is just nice :D

Isn't it pretty? I love it from my first sight. The good thing about PAMCO is their cots can be converted to bassinets, settee's and beds! This baby cot cost around RM1,000 but I believe it is a good investment in a long run. My baby can sleep in it until the age of 12. Isn't it a good investment? If the baby doesn't want to sleep in it anymore, we can also convert it into settee for bedroom or even living room!

Going to save all the money to buy these stuffs I love. I'm sure baby loves them too *wink*

12W 5D

Went to Sekama KKIA this morning. Today was supposedly 12Weeks 3Days but after nurse measure here and measure there, baby now has become 12Weeks 5Days.

Panties from Minoshe. 3 pcs for RM33 only.

Went to Parkson shop around to survey baby products. End up buying a piece of romper for baby. I love this piece of romper when I first saw it. I love the material, the colour and the cute logo too! The blue colour can be worn for a baby boy. The cutie logo is a girlie one, so this romper can be worn for a baby girl too. And know how much this romper cost Hubby? RM 14.90~ Woot, baby clothings really expensive lo.

Mom says I need at least 10 pcs of clothes for baby. I will go broke arh. But luckily Ai Ling has a set of 5 rompers for sale @ RM30. If my baby is a girl then I can buy the rompers from Ai Ling.

I'm so proud to announced I'm now carrying a baby 12 weeks old!! In another week, I'm will end my 1st trimester and jump into the 2nd stage of pregnancy.

I start to hunt around for baby items already. And they are so expensive! If I were to save RM300 a month from now, by August I will have RM1,800 for baby.

I went to Minoshe just now to shop for new panties. I was shocked to see the maternity panties, so huge! I ended up buying normal panties. Will only buy the maternity panties if really need them around 6th - 7th month. The price of the maternity panties sold there is reasonable, 0nly RM 29.90.

I'm getting very tired recently. I better go home.

Hello dear baby,

Today mummy has a zit on her face. It's ugly because everyone can see the zit when they look onto my face. I read in a book that it is due to the hormone changes in mummy's body. Or perhaps mummy's body a bit too heaty. Mummy is drinking a lot of water already but still heaty. Really don't know what should Mummy do to get rid of the heat.




During CNY visiting, everyone says Mummy is fat. Hmmm. Of course fat la, because Mummy is carrying you mar. Hehe. From a book, it says Mommy is increasing her blood from 5 litres to 8 litres in her body. Now I know why am I so fat liao.


When Mummy went to dentist that day, Mummy bought two pacifiers for you. First item I bought for little baby. There are more and more pressies to come dear. I'm sure you'll be thrilled to see your pressies when you come out :D




I love you,
Mummy

During pregnancy, women are not advice to wear high heels to avoid tripping and falling down.

When you're pregnant and your stomach big, it is not an easy task to balance yourself. Imagine an elephant has to stand on a ball using one leg. You might lost balance and "pelantin"! LOL!

Some says pregnant women are not allowed to stand using the tip of their toes (For example you try to reach something high. When you can't reach it, you tends to tip toe) as it can cause miscarriage. It might be true if the placenta to your baby is not strong enough. Or too short?!! Hahaha! Anyway, I've been tip toeing when I do laundry. The stainless steel hanger is too tall. Perhaps I should get a stool. Hmmm.

Bought new office shoe from Vincci two nights ago. Low quality but really cheap after 20% discount.

Flats from Vincci

Cool right? I'm going to look like a dwarf for another 6.5 months!

I'm back to blogging again. A very short one for my very first post in this blog. Because I'm rushing home to cook dinner before hubby returns from work ;P

This blog is basically all about my baby and me.

I'm now pregnant with my precious baby for 10 weeks 5 days. The feeling was so indescribable. Every time I think about my baby inside my stomach, I feel very happy. Every night before I sleep, I will use a blanket to cover from toe to chest. Then place my extra pillow on my stomach. Then my hands go under my pillow touching my stomach wondering what is my baby doing inside. I'm sure he or she must be very comfortable inside :)

Baby first heart beat using ultrasound! Did it at Klinik Chiew. Still can't estimate baby's actually age because it is still very small, 6mm only.

Baby is 9 weeks old! Only 2cm. Doctor Lee says baby size is smaller than normal. Huh.... Hopefully he or she is ok. I need to eat more vege loh.

I went to Poliklinik Tanah Putih few days before CNY. Waited a long time for my registration at the counter. I do not have any doctor verification on my pregnancy with me. So no choice I have to queue up with public in order to see the doctor. Doctor asked me to take urine test and it was a positive. So the in coming Tuesday I have to go 2nd floor to report new case to KKIA (Klinik Kesihatan Ibu & Anak). But next Tuesday is public holiday (CNY), I have to attend the following Tuesday then :(

Waiting for my turn to see doctor @ Tanah Putih

Urine Test @ Tanah Putih

So, I woke up at 6am yesterday to clean up/ dress up myself. We left home around 6.50. Reached Tanah Putih at 7.20am. Ding dong ding dong, 8 something only my turn to listen ceramah. I asked hubby go to work first because I do not know how long this session will take. After listen to ceramah, we have to take urine test. As a new comer, we have to collect new bottles from the counter. Then go washroom collect urine. I really dislike public toilets. Wet and smelly.

Waiting for the counter to open *Yawn*

Ceramah carried out inside Pantry Room because the meeting room is not available

After collecting my urine, sit there for another 20 mins wait for my turn to see the nurse. The nurse is a chinese aunty! She asked me to open up my urine bottle and double test whether I really pregnant. Then she measure my weight and height. Oh my god, I notice I have gain 2.5kg heavier and 2cm shorter :( Really doesn't make sense.

I can't get my blood tested yesterday because my station supposed to be Sekama. I have to go KKIA Sekama on Monday to do new registration again. Double job. And only today I realized that next Monday is a replacement holiday. I can only register on the following Monday. During that time, my baby is already 12 Weeks 3 Days!

What a delay. Worry I might have diabetic during pregnancy. It is better to detect earlier. Want or not, I just have to wait :(

The chinese aunty nurse did a body check up for me. Everything is in good order. She advised me to get my dental checkup asap.

Therefore, today I went to have my dental checkup. So far so good. There's one slight decay but dentist says it's ok. Just need to monitor closely. Dr Sim cleaned all my teeth and now my teeth is sparkling clean!

I asked dentist what is the reason I have to do a dental checkup during pregnancy. Dentist says during pregnancy, very often mothers will get gum bleeding due to hormon change. When gum bleeds means need cleaning very often. Since my gum is not bleeding, I only visit him after I gave birth, unless my gum bleeds later months.

I bought two pacifiers for my baby. The first item I bought for him/ her. I think they look cute.

Will show the picture of the pacifiers tomorrow :D
