The weekend is over

Let's see where should I begin. Last week, I was on a puking streak. I puked every day of the week and on Friday I peaked by puking three times in a day.

So I decided to give it a shot by not drinking milk in the morning and still eat my supplements as usual. Lo and behold...I stopped puking for the entire weekend!! I suspect it is the milk that is causing my stomach to overturn.

Over the weekend, I went to KC's God brother's wedding dinner. It was a small affair but truly heartwarming to finally see them tie the knot. KC's God Father was probably the happiest man alive that night. KC's God Mother was absolutely stunning too. And the grandchildren were really adorable.

And on Sunday, KC and I went to Mothercare to shop. We bought a lot of clothes for the little one to accumulate enough so that we can get the membership to Mothercare for the bigger items in the future if there was a need to buy anything from Mothercare. Besides, a lot of the clothes were going on 50% sale.

KC was so excited. How I wish I could have captured his joy buying the clothes. He was so excited that he had to bring it up to show his mum the clothes. I am so happy sometimes to see him this way. Brings a lot of joy to my heart.

Anyway, I guess after the next visit to the doctor's, we will be going on shopping sprees for quite a bit. KC would like to know the gender before buying anything. Can't wait for the next visit to the gynae.

First time feeling so much better!

So as I was saying about my daily affair of puke. Spaing everyone the details. I am feeling much better today for the very first time!! Woo hoo...I suspect it is the calcium pills that I have been eating. I'll do a trial and error for today and tomorrow to see if it is the case.

Going to try and eat the multivitamins now. Yummy. I have a swollen lymph node!! Yes yes...doc says I am heaty thus the inflammation. Maybe I shouldn't abstain from so much of these things that are supposedly healthy.

Well, I think the doctor makes a lot of sense. Eat everything in a variety. Nothing will go wrong that way. As long you don't eat the same things excessively...there shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway had a great lunch today!! Finished the bowl of Mee Hoon Kuey and it was absolutely delicious. Yups....And I am feeling good after the lunch too.

Tonight meeting the gals for a catch up!! Can't wait!! We are going to be expanding the group to 5 people. Haha...its growing...yes it is!!

It is a daily affair

As the title says it all...It's been a daily affair. I puke every day without fail whether I puke tons out or just saliva.

Been feeling horrible recently and of course the splitting headache. Last night I puked out a bit of volume and I am just wondering if I hurt my lymph node. It's a bit swollen and pain. Will wait and see if it disappears.

I don't sleep well at night and I feel utterly miserable. I think I should take a rest soon or maybe throw in the towel? I feel miserable. One is enough....

The day I first vomitted!!!

It's been awhile since I last updated as I have been under the weather for a long time. So there's a lot to update.

Over the weekend, KC and I were excited about our gynae visit the coming Monday. However, we were kept busy and we got the most excellent buy at Chinatown for Stretch Mark cream...What a discount!! We were glad we went....Then we got our new car too...Although it is a weekend car, it is very comfortable and I enjoyed all the rides we had in it!! It can play all my VCDs and I get to listen to nice songs...What more can I ask for?

Anyway, monday came and I asked for a transfer of respiratory doctor. Later on in which I went on to office to work for awhile. So here comes the real update of the little one:

15 June 2009

We were at the gynae's office on time. However as I couldn't hold my urine, I went to the ladies later to find out I had to do a dip stick test. The nurse gave me 2 glasses of water but I still did not have the urge yet.

It was my turn to go into the room for a scan. It was so fun to see the little one again. The doctor said the baby was expressionful. The baby waved at us and the doctor caught it. However, the baby did not cooperate as the doctor needed the baby to lie down rather than stand and the baby was standing in a studying posture. The doctor took two pictures and kept the third one for herself. :)

Later which, she asked me to go out and fill up my bladder and walk around for 10 mins and she will see me again. She said the baby's neck fold needed to be less than 3mm for it to be a low risk baby. And Thank God!! The measurement taken after the 10 mins of walking around was 1.1mm...Excellent. Now the doctor said we had to find the nose bridge of the baby. We found it within a sec. Another excellent news! So the doc said all is well.

Now her guess is the baby is a boy...I was like this is confusing. She said it was a gal on the 10th week and now she says the baby is a boy. Nonetheless, both are good. She said she would confirm the gender on the 16th week...Can't wait!!

The baby seems to be very active. Likes to stand rather than lie down. Interesting huh?

Anyway, I was suffering a bit of headache when I was at the doc's office and I told her. She asked if I had a history of migraine and I said not at all. And she left it at there. When night fell, I was feeling very uncomfortable. My head was throbbing and I was feeling very uncomfortable. Later to my amazement, I vomitted out the jelly I ate after dinner!!

Straight away I felt even more miserable. Why was this happening to me? I was suppose to be feeling better since I had passed the first three months. Apparently not so!! I ended up going to be early hoping that my headache would disappear.

16 June 2009
I woke up from my sleep....My head was still throbbing and I wasn't feeling too well...But I knew I had to drag myself out of bed because my colleague was going to be on MC. I went all the way to Dhoby Gaut and I knew I couldn't push myself anymore. While walking to the doc's I actually vomitted again!! The feeling was horrible! I actually puked on my hand!! The smell was horrendous. Anyway, I went back half a day later!! I am not doing so well now that I am in second trimester. Can only hope for God to continue blessing me throughout!

Now it is the 17th of June 2009. So far so good. Had Char Siew Fan for lunch and it was yummy....Can't wait for dinner!! I think I am going to have Kuey Chap!!

Pukish again?

Haiz...another day of feeling miserable. I don't feel well with a lot of gas in my system. I have been burping this morning and eating a couple of sour plums but I still feel miserable. I am starting to feel that sour plums are losing its effect on me.

I wonder what's the next best thing to calm me down. I hope that I am able to recover from all these queasiness.

In any case, I am starting to talk to a friend from the USA. He and I used to be rather close and he is telling me he wants to start a new venture. However, I don't seem to catch what he is trying to say or maybe he hasn't mentioned what his venture is about. In any case, maybe after a few conversation with him, I'll be able to understand.

But its good to know that he has stepped out of his comfort zone and wanting to help the less fortunate. God has truly placed strategic people around the globe to help people in need I feel.

Anyways, now I have run out of people to look for. I really need to find bankers but I can't seem to find them. I wonder where they are hiding right now? Tonight, my family is gathering for a small celebration with my brother since his birthday is coming up. I can't wait for tonight!

Yes yes...TGIF tomorrow.:)

The 10 things....

I just had lunch and my colleagues gave me a brilliant idea to blog about the 10 things I hate about being pregnant and the 10 things I like about being pregnant...Let's see if I can come up with the list:

The 10 things I hate about being Pregnant:
1. I gain weight overall and my face takes an odd shape
2. The many things I have to restrain from eating which are actually my favourite
3. The Nausea feeling that always haunts me throughout the day
4. The backaches that haunt me on and off
5. The number of times I have to wake up from my sleep to visit the ladies and my sleep gets disrupted
6. The puffs I have to remember to take every day
7. The amount of money I have to spend on stretch mark creams
8. The loss of appettite and how fussy I have become
9. I can't seem to stomach my bird's nest that my grandma has made for me
10. The many superstitions that I have to follow due to me being pregnant

The 10 things I like about being Pregnant:
1. I don't have to carry heavy things...there would always be people offering to help me out
2. I don't have to bend down and take things as there will always be people helping me to do so
3. The bulging tummy with the little one growing, I enjoy the feeling of rubbing that little bulge
4. The attention I get and always being given way to
5. The joy of thinking of the little one growing in me and how marvellous God's creation is
6. Wonder how the child will look like
7. The shopping I get to do with retrospect to the baby
8. The little talks I have with my hubby about the little one
9. How my hubby and I talk to the little one
10. The joy surrounding me in regards to the little one

I guess this list may change as time goes by...So follow on to be kept updated!!

Over the weekend!

It was a fulfilling but tiring weekend. I think this upcoming one, I will be resting and relaxing...Friday night, I went out with one of my primary school friends. I haven't seen my this friend for I think nearly 15 years. She definitely has lost a lot of weight. It was a great time catching up with her and it was wonderful just going through her entire life and what has been happening to her and her entire family.

Then the next morning, we went to the maid agency to understand the procedure of what we need to do to hire a maid. Further which we short listed a couple of maids but they were eventually not available for hire. Haha....What luck right? Oh well, the good thing is we aren't in a hurry to hire one anyway. We later had lunch at Bedok and went off.

When I returned home. I couldn't help but just take an afternoon nap. I couldn't control myself. My hubby commented that recently, I always need to take afternoon naps...It seems like I don't have the stamina to stay awake for the entire day. It is like I have some kind of spasm. Well I guess it is tiring growing the little one inside me.

After a good 2 hours nap, I woke up and did the house chores. Later which my hubby went for his jog and we gathered with a friend for dinner. It was a good time of catching up and subsequently, we adjourned at our place for a casual chat. We ended the evening at 2am which by that time, I was drained of all my energy.

Next morning, I woke up without much problems. Had a good hearty breakfast at Mac's and headed for church. It was a great time of service. It always feels good being reminded of how gracious and good our Lord is.

Later on, KC and I went on to Paramount to meet another group of friends for dim sum lunch. Again it was an informative chat as one of our friends is currently doing anaesthetic for delivering mothers. It was interesting to know that GA actually increases the risk for both mother and child.

After lunch, we went our seperate ways...KC and I came back to my office to collect some things but I ended up being stuck in the ladies for half an hour. Yups...I was suffering from constipation. It is time for fruits galore...:) Maybe we should eat some strawberries tonight? :)

At night, we went back to the in laws for a simple dinner. Instant noodles with vegetables and eggs. That I guess was tasty enough but not filling. But boy was I tired. However, I had to finish the drama and later on, we even went on to watch Taken by Liam Neeson. That show was a splendid show. Both of us haven't watched movies for a long time. It was great just lazing around together catching a movie. But I was so dead tired after that. The consequence of going against my own desire of rest.

Today is another horrible day of horrible lunch and horrible feeling. I have come to a conclusion. I absolutely love pregnancy except the part where I have to feel uncomfortable every second of the day!

Into my 11th week

I am cruising into the 11th week. Not feeling better every day. Nauseousness still looms around me on and off. I don't have the best of appettite but I still can consume my daily meals.

Starting to feel like an old hag, I suffer from lower back pains and last night, my legs began to feel a little sore. I wonder if I'll have bad water retention. Trying hard to massage the legs by myself just to make sure I don't suffer from too much water retention.

My hubby is busy today pitching deals. I hope he does well and God is with him. My cell group is not meeting again this week. They have yet to sms me.

Anyway, before we go for our gynae visit, we have decided to go by the maid agency to see what's the normal procedure to book a fantastic maid so that the maid can help me with the chores. I really need to get some help once the little one comes out of the womb.

Besides that, will be catching up with some old friends this week which I look forward to very much. I haven't seen this friend since Primary School.

Well I can feel the tummy growing. Hopefully it won't grow too big. I really want to get my figure back when I deliver the little one.

As mentioned in my previous entry, I am supposed to see two doctors. One respiratory and another the gynae. To me, it doesn't make sense I run to Mt Alvernia and then to Glen E. If the respiratory one needs to be seen throughout my pregnancy, I have decided to switch to a respiratory doctor in Glen E to consolidate all the docs in one hospital. Think that makes more sense.

Shall do that during the next visit.

Third Visit to the Gynae

We arrived early at the gynae. It was 1.45pm and they weren't open yet. We waited for awhile. I went to the toilet and waited patiently for the clinic to open.

The Doc came in abt 2.15pm. It was immediately my turn although the couple who's appointment at 2pm was waiting. Reason was because they came late anyway and for ours, we arrived early.

So the doc did and ultrasound scan and the baby is about 3cm long!! The baby was kicking in the air and appeared to be cycling. Doctor suspects it to be a gal but it is actually too early to tell. She said she really couldn't tell but was only guessing. She said she may know come 12 weeks which I will be returning to her again for a nuchal translucency test to see the risk of down syndrome.

It was fun seeing the little one kick inside the little tummy. The baby was like cycling on open air. It was fun. I can't wait to see the doc again in two weeks time. Like always...the baby is so near and yet so far....:)

Today is the third visit to the gynae

Today, I am officially 10 weeks and 3 days. Dear has taken half day to go with me to the docs and see our little one who is so near us but yet so far...:)

Recently, I haven't been feeling so well with regards to nauseousness...I get chest pains and wheezing rather frequent. I need to reflect this to the doc.

Overall, I guess there's a lot of updates this particular month. But I did buy a ton of maternity wear which I am wearing today.

I am so excited to meet up with the doc. Can't wait!! Will update again.
