Hmm, am i allowed to take coffee? It is said that i shouldn't take more then 300 gms of caffeine/day and a cup of coffee has around 100 gms..
caffeine will affect the absorption of vital nutrients so.. i shouldn't take it.. but, i cannot help it!!!!
So, I am restricting my self to 1/2 cup a day.
Hope this will be fine..

Sexy mummy!!
I woke up in the morning, after another late night of mahjong where my dear husband won another 25 bucks..and i started to do some housework.. i.e. sweeping, mopping and vacuuming the floor..phew! quite hard work and i got rather breathless.. wonder how it will be like for me a few months later.. looks like i will need to yell for help then..
I am mindful to take it easy, took my vitamins and drank a glass of milk first before i do any of the above.. I still remember the last time 1 was 6 weeks pregnant, i fainted on the way to work as I was anaemic then..
Sigh, Andy slept like a piggy.. but i forgive him as he played quite late with our friends for mahjong..but, in the months to come.. hmm, i better make sure he helps me.. or i really will get very upset.
Done liao! So, next step is to dress up like a sexy babe.. i still can wear my clothes of cos! and i better make full use of it.. I won't know what my figure will become after pregnancy..
Today, i decided to go for a make over@ Stila, CK Tang, followed by a Brazillian landing strip wax at STRIP.
Nice and ouch respectively! Did some shopping at Mango and Sheer Romance (SALE!!) Next on the schedule, go to mom's place for lunch and pick up Joyce to go to km8 with CN, WK & gang. Very hip place, lots of ang mohs, SPGs and models and other wannabes and the music is just like Lush 99.5!! Nice music, not so nice crowd, in my opinion.. i see plenty of caucasian crows flying over us Asian ladies. Quite demeaning..
I wasn't supposed to take any alcohol, caffeine and raw food.. drank a little and had some tea, but i think it should be fine..
CN brought up his theory for discussion again that he is convinced that by his wedding in September, i will be pregnant and obvious. I acted blurred.. but i was smiling inside.. he is really right.. maybe i will make him my kid's godfather.. but then.. aiyah.. see how.. he dun like kids lah..
The discussion went on to trips into JB.. hmm, quite a good idea, as the prices there will be half price.. maybe i will really do that one weekend with Andy.
hmm, i should consider getting a pair of good headphones so that i can play nice music for baby to listen to at night.. like that, when it is born, it will sleep better at night.. hee hee.. good move..
yawnz

18 days of PG
The next day, Andy didn't have to work and we decided to spend the morning & afternoon together. We woke up at ~11:30am and decided to go to the post office to pay off the road tax for the car first. While i waited for him, my mind started to dwell..Yeah... question to ponder, boy or girl hah??
But, no, don't dwell on this.. we are praying for a healthy baby and a smooth pregnancy and delivery.. and the first 3 months is still not stable..
Last night, we have decided not to tell anyone until we have passed the first trimester.. this way, we avoid questions, over-dosing of "good & healthy food" from our parents and in-laws, naggy questions and issuace of instructions on what not to do.. especially, since my job requires me to travel overseas frequently. It will also give us some breathing space.. for now, it remains a secret between us and this blog of course!
Decided to go to cold storage at Takashimaya. Went to buy so much good food to feed me and baby to ensure that we keep providing the right food for baby.. cereals, wholemeal bread, fruits, fruit juices, pre natal vitamins, cheese, high calcium milk etc.. hee hee.. wonder if i eat all these will lao sai or not..
we also checked out the baby departments on cribs, strollers etc.. we are shocked at the prices! Looks like we really need to plan ahead..
Later on in the evening, we went for a stroll along East Coast Park with his parents. Had durian and chicken.. Fruit n lean meat.. Yay!! Haha, does durian counts as a fruit?? :D

Discovery of Life!!
Hubby & me has been trying for a baby since getting married last year october 2004...but so far to no avail. My menses arrived each month with incredible accuracy to our disappointment. But, we we not discouraged, as the doctor did tell us to try for 2 years before going for any specialist consultation.
There is also a shadow hanging behind in our past, since we have gave up the chance to be parents almost 7 years ago. This time round, we were more prepared and were determined to make it work!
This month, we tried again.. according to the ovulation test kits that we have invested in in the last few months, we should try ~7th of June for the highest chance for me to conceive. so we did, though it was anything but mundane as usual... we have been quite inventive and trying new things.
Then, i started to feel nauseous in the late morning and my period's late by 2 days.. i cross my fingers and hope that it don't come. There is a different feeling inside me that is trying to whisper something to me...
Lunchtime, i started window shopping for multivitamins and examining the costs of baby stuff... I never noticed that departmental stores have so much interesting stuff for babies! So fun..!! But I still have no confirmation.
Weekend came and as usual, on a Friday night (24th June), we had our usual mahjong session with our friends at home. By then, i was around 3-8 days late for my menses (depending on my shortest and longest cycle). In between playing mahjong, i asked hubby to take over while i visit the toilet.
I know that sometimes, when your pregnancy is still early, the tests will not be effective, but, since i have spare PG test kits, why not?
AND.. OH MY GOODNESS, it was POSITIVE!!
I couldn't believe my eyes.. smiling to myself, I left the results in the toilet and went outside to where my dearest is playing mahjong enthusiastically. I took over and whispered to him to go to the toilet to take a look.. he gave me a questioning look (as i was smiling like an idiot) and went immediately to investigate...
Later on, he told me he almost cried and took a picture of the result for keepsake! Me too, i took a picture too..
We made love so passionately later on (after winning money from our friends first!! :P) to celebrate!
