Anytime soon...~~~

Weather: Mostly Cloudy, 3°C

Congrats to Emy...on the arrival of baby Jayden! He is sooo cute! But poor emy...suffering from the pain n tiredness after labor...Not easy to b mummy...

After reading her birth story...makes me kinda freaky about looking forward to my own labor experience...wonder how long i will take...wonder how i handle the pain...or rather...i dun tink i will even handle it...jus raise the white flag for Epi...But i kinda envy her...labor hours were not really long...12 hours and baby's out...!

Emy is my 1st n oli preggy fren...intro by my aqua...thru out the preggy days...she has teached me alot and guide me on wat to eat...wat to do...wat to prepare...its really nice to have someone share the experience with u...makes me feel more assured n confident...though we have not met...but i can feel she is really a nice person...

Time flies really fast...now dat her baby's out...its gonna be my turn anytime soon...i jus wish my mum will be here first b4 baby arrives...coz i tink i will be at a lost when baby's home...esp when hubby n me both have no experience...i can only pray that GOD will give me the guidance i need to care for baby...n HE knows when is the best time for baby to arrive...so meantime...i try (very hard) to relax then...

3 Weeks & 5 Days...

Weather: Clear, 5°C

Jus went for my 3rd birthing class last nite...n had a wonderful surprise...the couple dat did not show up for last week's class actually had their baby last thursday...! She is sooooo cuuute.... And poor girl...become a display for everyone as the instructor showed us how her belly button looks like...(of coz with permission from the proud parents)...She was supposed to be due on 14th Nov...but born premature @ 35 Weeks...n become a Oct baby...

Becoz she is premature...she look abit jaundice and her cries weren't dat loud...like a kitten...hehe...bt she looks strong and mommy looks fresh and "free" without the tummy...Mayb coz she is Ang Moh...so they tend to be stronger than asians...Seeing mommy cuddling the baby...they look so blessed and makes me look forward to my own labor...

Wonder hw is emy now...is she cuddling jayden already...? how nice...

Yesterday was also my Week 36 checkup at gynae...i'm 63 KGS !!! OMG! Dats a 15 Kgs gain thruout my preggy days...Doc did a Group B test swab on me...hope to have negative results next week....so that i dun need to be on antibiotics during labor...

In exactly 3 Weeks...my mum will be here...wonder will baby wait for grandma to b here first...bt i look forward more to baby's arrival than mum...hehe...still...i wish he will b born on 11th Nov...coz its a nice date...

Till now...we still have not really decided on baby's name yet...haiz...y so hard to decide...

Ever since my last blog...

Weather: Clear, 16°C

Autumn is here...the tree at my doorstep jus turned from green to yellow to red...really beautiful...i might sound silly here...bt all my life in SIN i have oli seen GREEN trees...

It's been a loooong time since i have a post on my blog...wat have i been doing for the past 3 weeks...? i also duno...other than the number of days to the arrival of my baby changes everyday...every thing else seems the same...

Well...y do i suddenly have the urge to blog today? coz my lovely aqua created a new blogskin for me...which i luuuuvvv it! and it manage to kickstart my brains n fingers to start working on the keyboard...

Its really a wonderful "ding" to see my tummy doing the kallang roar every now n then...frm left to right...ole ole ole ole...ole...ole...haha...muz b my hubby crazily tinking abt playing soccer with bb liao...he already bought those rubber balls...n start playing by himself...sometimes i will join him...haha...imagine the silly sight...both of us chasing after the small rubber ball...

Okie...let me flip thru my organizer n see wat i have been up to the past 3 weeks...

Week starting 24th Sept...
Finally received the cheque from insurance company for the payout of our damaged Odyssey...
and decided to buy the black 2001 Mazda MPV which we both like...though there were a few problems here n there...we managed to fix them...afterall its a second hand car...hw good u expect it to be...jus need to change the tires for winter use...
Received the MPV on Friday...n life is finally back to normal...coz the past week without car has been hell...so handicapped and limited...

As usual at my week 33 checkup...doc says the same ting...blood pressure normal...baby is doing fine...normal fetal heartbeat...blah blah blah...

Week starting 1st Oct...
Felt some problems with the car's steering wheel...which kept pulling to the right...went back to dealer...and they ask me to send the car to their mechanic...who diagnosed dat the car needed wheel alignment...so i drop the car there on wed morning and had to take bus n train hm...wat a long way man...took me an hour to reach hm...coz there is no straight bus...i had to take bus to train station den train to downtown...den bus hm...waiting for bus in dat darn cold weather is hell...it made me miss the time i waited for MRT at Tampines Station...holding a piece of tissue wiping my sweat n swearing at the train for taking so long to arrive...Though it oli takes mins for the train to arrive...its enuf for me to melt there...
But still...I really appreciate n realise that the public transport in SIN is really really fantastic & efficient !!!

I'm glad we managed to collect the car in time to attend the first lesson of Birth and Babies 2007 @ Alberta Children's Hospital...its a prenatal lesson which i paid CAD 185...so i definitely cant afford to miss one lesson...
The class consist of 9 couples...all EDD sometime in Nov...though i do not have the last EDD in Nov...i have the smallest tummy there...anyway first lesson was quite informational...we learnt how to differentiate Braxton Hicks n real labor contractions...n wat to bring to hospital...when to go...n warning signs...n the instructor showed us a visual effect of hw the baby will progress thru the pelvic bones to the birth canal n out in tiz world...seems like a long way though...
From wat she says...my baby is in a good position for natural birth...hope he does not play too much with the umblical cord dat tangles ard him so much dat natural birth is out of question...

Weekend went to bottle depot to deposit all the plastic bottles for recycling...finally clear the kitchen area...since it was still early...we went to Sears to shop for sales stuff...n bought a quilt set and mattress pad for mum...

Week starting 8th Oct...
Its Thanksgiving Day! We did not have much of a celebration...since jus the two of us...but i'm glad hubby can be home with me...so we spent the day watching movies and enjoying each other's company...

Tues went for a Budgeting for Baby seminar...learnt abt the practice here on registering baby's birth...getting health insurance and social insurance number (SIN)...and how to apply for govt perks...etc...

Wed went for my Week 35 checkup...as usual...everyting was good...all is normal...but doc sent me for urine test next week...

Thurs as usual...attend Birth and Babies class...watch a birth video which was quite traumatising for me...bt i felt a surge of joy n relieve when i saw the baby was finally out...i wonder wat my birth experience will be...hope i can b like my mum...have a short labor...though doc says there is no scientific proof dat it will be related...

Weekend as always...we went for grocery shopping...
n hubby made me a delicious dish...which was really good considering his first time doing them...Chicken with Sesame n Ginger wine...i love it! He is so talented...even with a recipe i dun tink i can make it...he saw me enjoying it so much...he oli took a bit or two...n let me finish it all...i'm so touched...he say good food leave for baby n me...he will finish the overnite dish...

i always knew he puts us before himself...in everything he does...i know i mentioned too many times liao...bt i have to remind myself how blessed i am...though we have our share of quarrels and arguements...bt i'm confident he is true to me...
sometimes i find him childish also...n nt thoughtful enuf...bt den again...who is perfect...? he never expect so much of me...wat makes me expect more from him when he has given me so much?

Week Starting 15th Oct...(This week !)

As of today...it will be 4 weeks & 1 day to the arrival of God's next greatest creation...my boy...i will also be starting my weekly checkups till labor...
Baby...hang in there alrite...? Week 37 is jus around the corner...Dun b too anxious to see mummy...though mummy is anxious too...so u mus b patient...okie...i know its getting really cramp in there...bt jus endure...mummy is with u...

Wonder hw emy is doing...never see her online over the weekend...is she in labor yet? or baby jayden is born liao?! Emy....jia you! jia you! u can do it!

My life...like a Ferris Wheel...

Weather: Rain -1°C

Like a ferris wheel...turn and turn and turn...jus like my life nw...every week is the same same same pattern...boring is the oli word to describe my days...
Everyday the only thing my brain needs to process is to tell hubby wat to cook for dinner...it sounds simple...bt its actually a very stressful and troublesome question...there are days that i really dunno wat to eat...bt i cant dun eat...my baby needs nutrients...so i also cant satisfy my hunger with a few biscuits and fruits...which i used to do...

Lately the oli thing that amuse me is the wave on my tummy and pain in my ribs created by my precious boy...as the days draw nearer...hubby and i look forward to seeing him...we are so curious who he will look more like...daddy or mummy....well...i'm sure he will be a good looking kid...coz his parents both are beautiful pple...dun laugh...every parents think tiz way...

After the ultrasound last thursday, i know baby's position in my tummy...so sometimes i will soothe his butt which is on my left side...den he seems to enjoy dat...he will stop his vigorous kicks on my right ribs ware his legs are facing...i feel we can already start bonding nw...which is really amazing...! i hope he will recognize my voice when he is born...coz i always talk to him...n stupid hubby will laugh at me...wat does he know man...nvm...i know he is jus jealous...

I jus finished reading my aqua's blog...glad she enjoyed her weekend after a worst hit...but i also know she is jus drowning her sorrows in drinks though she always appear happy to others...i really wish there is stg i can do to help...bt since it concerns matters of the heart, i can oli give her emotional support n listening ear...she is working so hard and dunno how to take care her own health...she is still living in the past and duwan to walk out of the dark...i oli have ONE wish for her...love urself abit more can?! u deserve more than wat ur getting nw...ur a rare gem...

As i'm ending tiz post...hubby jus ask me the deadly qn...dear, wat u want for dinner tonite?

56 Days to Go ! ! !

Weather: Cloudy, 8°C

Today jus went for my 32nd week ultrasound scan...so happy to see my baby again after sooo long...since week 18 in singapore...sob ~~~

Baby's head is down already and weighs ard 4 lbs (2.29 Kgs)...he is facing my right side, which explains y the right side of my rib cage hurts when he kicks...doc says he is running out of space inside me...so when he moves...i will see a huge wave along my tummy...so fun...!
sometimes hubby n i will guess its his little hands or elbow or knees or feet creating the wave...
When doc show me his face...i could see his little nose n lips...soooo cute! i tink he will look like daddy coz he has quite deep eye sockets...mummy face is too flat!
I could also see his little heart pumping fast at a fetal's normal rate of 150 beats per min...den also saw his lungs already developing and practise breathing...

Thank GOD that baby is developing and growing well...i will patiently wait 56 days for his arrival...

It was drizzling when i came home...the air is cold n dry...makes my nose painful when i breathe...found some blood trail when i cleared my nose...damn!
Now is almost 5 pm and i need to go out and pick hubby home from work...so happy to see the clouds have cleared and the sun is out...and baby is moving actively...seems like he also knows we are going to fetch daddy hm....

Snow! Ware?!

Weather: Cloudy, 2°C

Hubby jus called me...say it was snowing lightly at his office area...i got so excited dat i nearly trip myself while climbing the stairs to get outside the house...since i have never seen snow in my entire life...! to my disappointment...its not snowing here...bt its freezing cold out there man...

well...i shall wait den...since weather is turning cold ald...i guess when winter comes...it will get so cold dat i hate snow... haha!
