Pico is kicked out!!

Haiz,

I developed allergy to my dog... can't believe it! in the end, we sent him back to my mum's place.. Frankly, he seems happier there, got people to accompany him..

he come over my place, he gets so agitated at night cos he couldn't rest and keep trying to figure out how to escape from the kitchen.. haiz..once he escapes out, he scrapes at our bedroom door..arrgghh.. silly dog..


This Wednesday night will be my 14 week scan.. looking forward to it.. abit nervous.. drawing blood again.. haiz.. well, anything lah.. as long as all is ok.. but i pray gynae can find my vein..and not dig around again..

Another addition to our lives!! (Maybe!!)

so many events over the weekend..

Sat. went to my mum's place and pick up our dog, Pico.. My mum couldn't tahan cleaning up after him.. and my sisters got too fed up walking the dog, so i suggested that they shift him over to my place..

Pico wasn't really used to it.. First, there isn't many people at home to accompany him.. and cos we are both working, we dun have time to walk him twice a day..he is still not used to the environment.. we decide to keep him in the kitchen, but he kept escaping.. wee wee on my sofa & cushions.. fainted.. & divider!!

he barked pitifully when we leave him behind to go for dinner or to work.. breaks my heart everytime..

I am still allergic to his fur.. everytime i touch him and forgets to wash my hands, and i touch my eyes, it'll itch terribly.. and i keep sneezing now.. am i really allergic to him now? or is it the baby?

How to keep him in the kitchen permanently?? i muz think...

Life is moving!!

I am so happy last night...... we have a gynae appointment at 8:30pm.. I went in with my mind blank.. not even daring to hope.. fear of the unknown..

while the gynae chatted with me.. (He was asking about the takeover happening to my company!), he started to scan...

To our delight & wonder, we see our baby.. now moving.. so actively.. waving his hands & legs at me and swimming around in the fluid.. and even stretch himself (herself??) and kicking.. the best part?? he's upside-down!!

I was smiling like an idiot.. It has never occured to me that it would be so wonderful.. this feeling.. suddenly, I felt like crying.. cos' I never expected that I will see this.. what with not daring to look forward... until then, the pregnancy felt a little unreal...

AK was staring at the screen for a while, but quickly whipped into action.. he took out his mobile phone & started filming our baby's movement on the screen.. later on, i really appreciated that, cos i can view the image over the next 3 weeks until the next appointment.. (1st March).

I was assured that 99% that everything is stable.. and our doc took 2 vials of my blood for testing.. We were advised about the triple test which is optional (cost 100 sgd) but i say, next visit, after he scanned the baby's neck for Down's Syndrome, we will decide..The gynae assured that I am at low risk as I am still young.. so, we will see...

As a special exception, I was allowed to sign the package that same day, meaning that for subsequent visits, I will not need to pay anymore except for detailed scans & extra tests..

We went home, happy, with strong memories of our baby happily kicking away, turning, somersaulting etc.... I haven't really felt the kicks, but occassionally, there is fluttering which i haven't decide is due to gas or to the baby.. Asked the gyane if the movement is too much, but he said that it is actually very good.. the baby was curved up when he measured at 4.16cm, so, my EDD maintained.. but actually, my baby is bigger then this.. quite happy.... slept so well..

Phew.. week 10 & moving forward

Last gynae visit was on the 25th Jan.. this time, i see the baby's heartbeat very clearly now.. but darling AK cannot see cos he stood so far away!! Baby measure 2.1cm.. and amnio sac fluid is ok, all pass!!

Next visit will be next week.. on Feb 8.. by then, i will be week 11.. looking forward to it..
workwise, deadlines are moving & I am starting to feel stressed cos my data doesn't seem 100% correct... My boss said that I am a perfectionist.. and he doesn't need perfection. I'll try... I'll try..

This CNY, only celebrated the 1st day, after which drove to KL, to visit my SIL's new place in Cheras..My tummy is getting abit obvious.. but not very..but was asked if I was preggie on the 1st day at my own grandma's place.. i avoided the question since i haven't pass the first trimester yet..

Went genting in KL.. but the casino was quite smoky.. i fainted.. but after that was ok liaoz... not so fun this time cos so crowded..& stakes are so high.. bought some clothes at FOS for AK & my sisters & i blouse for myself..brought my PIL to Colmar Tropicale.. they are not used to the long distances and my MIL kept grumbling..

But she cried when we left my SIL behind to return to SG early.

Now, AK & I are thinking of baby names.. haven't agree on any yet.. haiz... we will see..
