From BF to Shopping

Last Saturday, went to MV to meet up with Vicky and Karen (both also expert in breastfeeding). Really a big thanks to them for sparing their precious weekend to entertain a zero knowledge about BF mummy (that's me). They passed me the correct tips and the all-about BF. At least, now im more confident but just theoritically, not practically. They even offered me their 12-hrs hotline, in case i need to call them( at first i bargain for 24-hrs der, but Vicky said cannot woh, coz she wanna sleeps....hahaha)

`

Since already at MV, i wont give up any chance for shopping. While hubby bring Wyson to the Kiddy playland at Jusco, i just shop for my CNY clothings and hubby's too. Without us realising, by the time we left , it was almost 7pm. Wyson also start complaining. He said he was tired and wanna go home. Wow, i shop for nearly 8 hrs non-stop. Ok lah, in between got sit down and have our late lunch at Ding Tai Fung, The Gardens. The food quite nice and the waiters and waitresses really have good manners. Hubby was very impressed. But still, hubby said he cant believe he can stay that long and i can walk that long.

`

Because of my shopping marathon, yesterday i went for my early checkup. Supposed to go there in another 2 weeks, but my pelvics was so painful till i thought i was going to give birth anytime. ( i know its not time yet, but just to gain some sympathy from my hubby....hehehe). As a 'reward', i've got 5 days MC. Gynae said everything was fine, since this was my 2nd pregnancy , my back and pelvics will hurt alot more than the 1st. Baby now weight at 1.3 kg and me only gain 1kg. Wow, in 2 weeks time, i gain that much.

`

When hubby asked Gynae whether my 8 hrs shopping spree contributes to the pain, he also got a shock. "Wow, u really can walk for that long? Some of my patients walk for an hour, already start complaining." Well, my hubby told him, if he's married a SHOPPING QUEEN, then he will know. Cheh....

`

So, for this one week MC, i tried my very best to just sit at home. I've already in my 2nd days. But my legs and hands very 'ithcy', even today i try to do some online shopping but luckily i cancelled it the minute i wanna do payment. I was hoping i can go out to do the REAL shopping, can touch and compare. I guess u wont see me tomorrow, coz i already have plan wanna go out somewhere.....hehehe

Am Back

After a 5D4N trip back to hometown, am back last nite. The trip quite tiring for me eventhough hubby tagging along. Usually i have no problem taking care of Wyson on the 2.5 hrs flight journey. But this time , im having difficulties asking him to take his nap as usual. He just wont stop moving in the cabin, runs here and there, keep on asking us to bring him to the toilet. Only 1 hour before we landed, then he fall asleep. Gosh, i really have to think and think and think if i ever want to bring him again.

`

Since today was already on leave, so better make good use of it. I went for my monthly check up. Also need to wait for almost an hour then only my turn. Everything normal, blood pressure ok, urine ok, my weight and baby weight also ok. But i didnt gained much from my last visit, now only at 55.3 kg and baby 1.1 kg.

`

Gynae commented baby very healthy and asked me whether he moves actively. I told him, baby actually moves non-stop, can feel it every 20 or 30 minutes. And he does have a pair of strong legs, coz his kick was so full of energy.

`

Will go again for my next check up before CNY, and maybe after that will start to have long leave till i give birth. We'll see what the gynae said on my next visit. My legs already start swelling due to excessive walking and climbing up staircases. Dont ask me why, due to my job, i still need to travel 2 hrs everyday to reach my office. And my back pain is killing me every day. My hips and pelvics also not spared from that.

Balik Kampung

Top list in my agenda for this year - tomorrow will be balik kampung ( an annual affair). But this time will be a bit special, going back with my big belly( actually, not so big lah, if wanna hide , still can der...hehehe). First time taking an aeroplane while im pregnant. My hubby so kiasi that something might happened. So have to keep reassuring him everything will be alright and OK.

`

Not like my previous trip, going back alone with Wyson, this time hubby will be tagging along. My sis and her family and my 2nd brother will be joining too. Eventhough we will only be back for a short trip, 5D4N , but it means alot for me. At least, i can RELAX myself by my Mum side. I can become her little girl again. Not forgetting my Dad too, he will pampered us with a lot of yummy and delicious food.

`

Oh, i just cant wait for my feet to land there, tanah airku yang tercinta(mind me for being so patriotic.... wahahaha)

Maternity Toothpaste

First came across this product last year when browsing through a parenting magazine. When i was preggy with Wyson few years back, didnt aware market have this kind of toothpaste specially for pregnant woman.

`

So, for this pregnancy, was telling myself should get a tube to try and see whats the difference. But hor, i tried to find at Jusco, Carrefour, Giant and a few major shopping complex also cannot find. At the end, i give up and just use the normal toothpaste, Colgate to brush my teeth.

`

You all must be wondering, how come i can get it now?? Thanks to my sis-in-law, the one that just gave birth. I think she got it in one of the hamper. Since she's not using it in the near future, she was kind enough to let me have it.

So, whats the difference?? Hmmm, not much, only less foam but since it was free and good for preggy mummy, so just continue to use it. Hahaha

CONFIRMED

Today, went for my monthly check up. Thought it was Selangor State Holiday, so the crowd should be lesser since N.S is a working day. But i was wrong, the crowd as usual, super packed. So, just wait for my turn patiently with hubby and Wyson tagging along. This is the 1st time they follow me for my check up. Why? For the last few months, scared of the H1N1 virus, so hubby and Wyson will just wait in the car or go shopping at the nearby Tesco or Jusco.

`

When i was asked to lie down, so that my gynae can do an ultrascan for me, i still can jokes with him. This time can you please tell me is a GIRL ( still hoping for a miracle, hahaha). Hubby already so anxious stand beside the monitor. But Wyson was not so keen on it, dont want to look at all. The gynae then asked my hubby to look at the 'birdie'. It was so clear, and he can even give me a guarantee letter on that ( seh pao tan). I told him , no need so troublesome lah, actually i accepted the fact already.

`

Without me asking, he straight away print this 4-D image for me. He said the image was not so clear, but next month would be. So, here is my baby BOY... not a girl pun never mind lar, but hoping this time , will resemble me more, hope my gene not so lauyah(hehehe)... coz the gynae commented that Wyson 95% doesnt look like me.

`


Oh, forgot to update my weight , gained another 3kg in 1 month time ( geng ler), so now at 54 kg. But gynae said it was ok, coz i was way too thin.

`

And hor, for this pregnancy, i loves to jalan-jalan , no matter where, long or short distance also can. But what i loves most, is SHOPPING(ok, even before im pregnant, im also a shopping queen..kekeke). Hubby also salute me, with a not-so-big-belly, can walk non stop.

`

During the last Jusco Member's Day sales at Maluri, i only need 4 hours , i already can spend a whooping of this amount.

Hubby cannot imagine if i stay longer, maybe he will need to declare bankruptcy..... wahahaha.

Again???*sigh*

Today went for my monthly checkup, the most awaiting moment. Why? Gynae told me last month that he will tell me the sex of my baby on my this visit. Me, still stick with my 6th instinct, this one will be a girl, while hubby and Wyson keep on saying will be a boy.

`

When i lied down and wait for the ultrascan, gynae asked me what im hoping for. Still need to ask? My first one was a boy, of course im longing for a girl. He quickly moved his scanner around my stomach and arr.............. can you see that?? See what?? Here, here...so clearly can be seen , a little BIRDIE. No hiding and need no searching.

`

Tup, my heart sank. I was so dissapointed and upset till i cant said anything. After what i've been through this few months, a completely different pattern of morning sickness i have, i thought i was really carrying a baby girl. Sigh..............sigh...............

`

Just cant accept the fact that i will be joining TEAM BLUE again.... but i guess this will passed soon. And now, im on 1 week MC, too heartbroken....hahahahaha. Maybe during this week, i can calm down my emotion.

`

Oh, forgot to said, i have gained 3 more kg and now my weight is 50.8kg. Oh boy, he really knows how to eat now. Good , good , gynae also said you are growing healthtily and actively in Mummy's tummy.

My Prenatal Check-up

Since im preggy till now, i think i have visited my gynae more than 6 times. I didnt go there on monthly basis, just as when i feel needed. I only started to take my supplements ( multivitamins, calcium and vit-c) this week. Why? As u all know, im having a very bad morning sickness(till now still have), till force me to vomit out everything i take including folic acid. So my gynae advised me not take any till i feel better.

'

This was taken on my last visit (27/9). Baby was 12 weeks and i weighted 46.2 kg.

'

This was taken today(22/10). Baby is 16 weeks and was very healthy. When i was doing the 4-D ultra scan, baby was so busy moving hands and kicking legs. My weight - 47.8 kg. Increased 1.6 kg from last visit but still not gaining any weight if compared to my pre-pregnancy weight -48kg.

Gynae said i will be catching up slowly on the weight, so no need to worry much.

'
Eventhough i have passed the 1st trimester, but im still having morning sickness. Will vomit and feeling nausea, appetite still so-so..

Oooh, my gynae still playing hide and seek about baby gender. He said will tell me on my next visit...so , stay tuned...
