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.

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"

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

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.

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!
