Wow... been meaning to update this blog since my last gynae appointment on 16 Jan....
The baby has grown so fast.. it is now 1.29cm (not the sac!) and its heart is "blinking" fast... grow baby grow!
Every visit brings a feeling of relief and awe... just cannot imagine that life is growing inside me.. really is a miracle.. AK was so happy....
MY EDD has been brought forward to 31st August 2006... looking forward to the next appointment on the 28th Jan morning which was incidentally the Chinese New Year Eve...
All my internet frens had been so concerned about my absence from MSN that they messaged me while i was on leave.... Thanks Lyn, Jess, Dora, Juju, mei2 for your concern...
Gave my bosses A.S & D.G Royce chocolates yesterday from AK & I in appreciation of their support during my 2 weeks leave. It has been really unexpected.. this kindness that was shown...
Can't wait for the next appointment... in the meantime, my appetite is small, but i ain't vomiting out my food and i get hungry really fast...
I really hate to eat rice now.. it is ok for fast food and noodles, kway teow etc.. and vegetables.. can you imagine that? i used to put those on my last priority.. looks like my body is telling me something..

seeing baby's first heartbeat..
Wow... time flies when one is on bed rest.. bedrest u say??
ya.. well.. events went like this.. on 3th Jan (Tuesday), i informed my big boss & my SG boss that i had tested positive for pregnancy.. My big boss was so excited and congratulate me.. but i told him that it is still early.. and i had some spotting..
4th Jan.. he came into office and informed me that he thinks that it is best that I go home and rest for the baby's sake.. i was so touched.. and really appreciated his thoughts.. especially what happened next..
6th Jan nite... i had some spotting again.. panicked and called up the gynae.. went into his clinic on 7th Jan in morning before AK is due for work at 11:45am, at East Shore..what a tiny hospital.. doctor see me & did a abdominal scan.. the sac is bigger at 29mm. size is right. To get a closer look, we went for a Vaginal scan.. this time, he could see the yolk sac and to our excitement & his surprise.. we could detect the heartbeat... the baby is ~4mm big.. we were so relieved.. when he withdrew the probe.. on the condom was the dried blood bits again.. i asked him about it.. he says not to worry too much about it as the baby has a heartbeat now..
we re-scheduled our appointment to Jan 16..
the cat is out of the bag now.. my mum, my MIL, my SIL & my Auntie in law knew (she caught me at the gyane where she went to do a follow up check up after her birth).
Will be going to Genting until Sunday. it was a trip preplanned before we knew we were preggie and will be going with our frenz..
Hope all will be fine.. i am feeling abit positive now..
how many weeks i am?? this Monday, I will be 7 weeks from my last menstrual period..
Will be back to work on Tuesday 17 Jan.. hope that i can get used to the timing.. been sleeping lots over the mid day while on bed rest..
Hubby has been so kind and attentive.. so lucky to have him by my side... i love you AK.. in case i forgotten to tell you..

holding my breath..
I couldn't wait.. was so anxious.. i had no medication to support the pregnancy. Decided to visit the Gynae on Dec. 30th.
He informed me that it is likely that it cannot be seen as i am still early. but he still did a scan.. Surprise! there it is.. the gestational sac at 1cm long..
so we eliminate etopic, size is right for this week and the gyane will see me on my next appointment on jan 12..
My SIL dragged me out shopping that evening. i felt tired n breathless, and there were so many people around.. i went to the toilet and saw brownish CM on my panties.. oh dear.. I panicked, told her i not feeling well, and we return back home, where i called up the gyane on his hotline, he advised me to take 1 extra tablet n bed rest..n come into the clinic tomorrow morning.
I went in on sat. he gave me 15 tubes of progesterone gel for insertion into my vagina. Darn expensive! 180sgd! but i tell myself, for the baby, anything also can. at least he never charge me for the consultation..
I used the medication.. the first morning after was ok.. i was sleeping n resting at home mostly. but the next morning, i was passing out the medication, with some brownish stains.. this morning? Clear CM with dried blood bits.. i panicked..... called up the clinic again. the gynae said it is ok unless i see fresh blood...
i was like... phew.. i cross my fingers.. baby baby.. be strong.. grow fast fast n big.. mummy & daddy wanna see your heartbeat next week!
