Baby has hair

I went for my medical chk up yesterday. Surprisingly, I need not wait long before my turn, however, as hb is still waiting for available parking lot, I got to ask the nurse to kiv my turn.

When I get in, I can see that Dr Chan is not feeling very well, she seems to be coughing and having a flu. But she is still very professional as she never fails to ans all of my questions.

Looking at my glucose tolerance test results, everything seems okie, however, there seems to be an unusual trend according to Dr Chan. Normal tolerance results should goes up and then down. But mine is going up all the way. Dr Chan said that this is due to the inbuilt system in my body, and I cant change anything except from continuing exercising after birth and controlling diet, to prevent from getting obese. This is to prevent the possibilities of diabetic in future.

As for the baby, she is weighing at 1.637kg now. I dream't of her having double eyelid just the night before, however, during the scan, I cant get a clear view of her face, cos she either use her hand to block her face or she just simply keep on turning and turning. This ger ah...wana keep mummy from suspense. But dr chan suddendly blurts out, She got hair...and its already about 1cm, so by the time I give birth, her hair should be longer...oh she is not a botak(I exclaimed).haaaa..cos my two nephews are born botaks with little hair. haaaaaa...

Dr Chan never commented much on my edd date, except for saying that the baby must be lock before u are able to induce when I asked her. So thought tht time she mentioned mid of mar, it seems like, if the baby hasnt lock, she cant do much also right. So edd might not necessary be mid mar also..now Im confused..and I dont know how should I plan for my leave.haaaaa

Dr Chan cleared her patient very fast yesterday. By 5pm, all patients are cleared. This is the very first time wow. I think its bec shes not feeling very well, hence she need to rest. 3 weeks more before my next med apt.

Tired

So tired..feeling myself heavier, clumsier..and fatter..At this stage, I really dread to take photos…even when I bump into friends, I feel quite paiseh also…cos I loss my confidence. My once sharp face (during wed) is gone, and not to say the just nice waist, hips etc..I just pray hard I get back to shape after I have given birth. When I went shopping last Fri at Far East, I felt so embarrassing walking into stores, cos their clothes are all very tight fitting and its impossible that a preggy can fit in..thought of getting an elastic dress for new year, but cant find any at all. Its not worth buying maternity dress also, cos its just another one or two months more to go.

Breast feeding, yes I must do that, not only it can helps me to slim down, it can also provide the nutrients my baby need. Learn many things from Mrs Wong from tmc last Sunday, I really pay full attention, jotting down notes etc. Really wan to try letting baby to latch on instead of bottle feeding at least for the first month, but that also means I have to stay with my baby 24 hrs round the clock and I cant go anywhere I like. Not sure if it will be successful, but I will try.

I am now coming to 31 weeks, and one more month later, my baby is fully grown at 36 weeks…and at around first or second week of Mar, my baby be out…getting more and more nervous. Now waiting for my colleague Jocelyn to go for delivery first….after that will be Christine and my turn..Who first? Lets see, best if we can share the room together..haaaa..

My backache continues, and even more ache at the leg etc…I got to stop and rest for three times when I’m shopping…I really can’t walk for long now..Terrible.

I have yet to wash my baby’s clothes…and I have not packed my hospital bag..oh dear, these are my priority task for this week. Must do Must do.

Oh its fri...tmr. :(

Was looking fwd to Fri, cos my hb finally finish his two papers, and yeah, we can go shopping for bb's stuffs.

But, my mood was affected after my hb told me his mum would like to join us....I really dont like the idea of three of us going shopping together..i felt so weird. I really prefer the courtship feeling...and I dont understand y his mum wants to tag along. Hb ask me if im okie, of course i mus say okie...even if im not okie..i cant make thgs difficult for him isnt it. Usually his mum will hv pgms of her own, like mahjong etc, but when she is really bored, she will ask his son to go where n where...i know i shouldnt feel unhapi over tht, but i am really not looking fwd to tmr....in fact, i dont feel like talking to him even now...i cant show him my unhappiness, cos i cant let him know im not happy over this. I never like him being a mommy boy...n sometimes his mum also not automatic..when shes lonely, she dont look for her husband..yet she looks for her son. I know hes in a difficult position also..

In future, theres more of such thgs, cos when bb is out, her mum is going to move in with us at least during wkdays...to take care of my bb, but, i thk i be the odd one out next time...when bb is asleep, mebi i shld immerse in msn just like last time...or mebi blog more..smtimes i really hope my mum is the one taking care of my bb for me..at least im more familar with her...I jus hv to endure..

My latest medical apt

I just had a medical check up and the diabetic test as advised by my gyne.

Gyne first have a scan at my lovely princess, guess its still early morning, so she didnt move as much as previous time, only scratching her head. Her position seems to be slowly moving downwards preparing for delivery. Baby weighs 1.22kg, at this stage (28 weeks), average weight should be 1-1.2kg, so bb is overweight by 200gms. Still okie, not a lot... but mummy's weight increase by 2kg for over 3 weeks, but baby only absorbs 500gms. So it means all the weight I gained will remain in my body...its me who gain the weight. Gyne once again warned me, if I dont control my food well, these fats and weight will remains with me even I given birth. Haiz, sad sia. If not Im pregnant, I wont be putting on so much weight so rapidly...I wonder how to remove these fats after I given birth. Its so hard to control the food intakes, esp during this festive season...and the thing is I get hungry very easily also. Last year around the same period, I didnt eat a lot bec I need to take my wedding pictures soon, this year I thought I can enjoy, but bec of the weight consciouness, I got to control again...haiz...thts hard leh.

Baby feet is 5cm long, gyne say that thats quite long.
Other than that, I didnt managed to see a lot of the baby, cos baby face was a bit blocked....a bit disappointed.

I went for the diabetic test as advised by the gyne. The nurse first make me drink a bottle of orange juice within 5mins, then she draw the first tube of blood from me. Subsequently, she make me come back one hr later for two times, to get my urine samples and draw blood. So total, I got to draw 3 tube of bloods and collect 3 bottles of urine samples. Its not hard drawing blood, just that i cant have any food or drinks during this period of time till 11.30am. Thats really tough for a preggy, u know...and without having any food intakes, the orange juice(a bit gasy) that they make me drink early morning really almost make me puke. If I vomit during the process, this test will fail and I got to retake another day. I was enduring..and its suffering without any food ...

Anyway, the test results is fine, no diabetic...so everything is okie..lucky.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone.

Its the begining of a new year. To me and hubby, 2009 shall be a special and memorable year and everything will be different from this year onwards.

We are awaiting the born of our little princess in Mar. With the addition of a new family member and us with new roles in life, we be expecting a lot of changes. Like it or not, we just have to adapt to it. No more freedom, we cant do things as we like, we have to spare a thought for our little princess whatever we do, even if its the purchase of some items, cos everything involves money. We cant go holiday as we like and we cant go dinner anytime we want. Although there will be a lot of sacrifices, we know it be worth it cos its all for the sake of our princess.

Parents are like that isnt it? We will never understand till we become parents ourselves. Hope to seek the understanding of my frens that I might not be available for every gathering. Even for now, its also hard for me to go out everytime, bec everytime I go out, I need to plan a convenient journey, if not at my present condition, I cant join in the queue for taxis, and neither can I join the crowd in trains or mrt....that is the reason why I always prefer to meet at some where near, such as Jurong point..haaa...hope my fren understand. Now coming to the third trimester, Im getting lazier and lazier, sometimes after I lie on the bed, I really dont have the energy to get up, and I always feel pain at the lower back...its getting terrible day by day. Frens, ps pardon me.

My new year resolution is that everyone in my family will be in good health and happy. Both my hubby's career and mine will be smooth sailing. Very importantly is that I have a smooth delivery and my baby is healthy.

All the best to everyone in 2009.
