wow.. now week 28!!

Its been a month?? this month has been pretty hectic.. shopping is almost done.. been enjoying ourselves buying stuff for baby.. and feeling her move everyday is a great motivator & provides great relief.

Went for gynae visit last Friday @ late week 27 and baby is growing really well, she was awake but wasn't hyperactive.. Dr. Chandras measured her femur and estimates that her weight is 1.096kg, above average!

Lucky siah.. before that, he was frowning at my weight gain.. only 0.6kg from 1 month ago.. i also dunno why leh.. still eating my oats, enfamama, vitamins, lots of ice cream cones.. durians.. hmm..so far.. i gained only a total of 5.6kg.. now i weigh 59.6kg..

Have told the nurse we taking Mt. A 2 bedder... hope i get the old wing.. it looks bigger & comfortable.. saw it when visiting a girlfriend who just delivered in the hospital
Will be approaching my third trimester liaoz.. TTC frens Jess, Lyn, Dora has given birth liaoz.. next one will be Erin..then me.. then.. keke.. a few more to come!

I am starting to feel more clumsy & like a duck.. sleeping is also tougher.. i get this lower back ache if i ly on my side too long.. got to keep turning periodically..

Might not be having a confinement lady after all.. due to my grandma insisting that we pay our nanny more then market rate.. so, i might have the maid come over daily to clean and wash and look after baby.. and someone else to help me cook confinement food (my mother in law of grand ma in law?? or i can cater..). I think about it and i think, not having my nanny around is also good, as she know nuts about BF? Won't be able to help much and won't be sure what type of confinement food will be suitable for breastfeeding mums..will need to standby numbers of the lactation consultants..

Am glad most of the shopping is done.. what's left?

- playpen
- stroller
- car seat
- musical mobile
- baby thermometer
- bath tub
- baby socks
- glass bottles for milk (FOC from Mt. A)
- confinement food & stuff for when we return back..
- erhh.. can't think of others at this point..

next appointment will be at week 32, then it will move to 3 weeks later and 2 weeks subsequent intervals.. time is moving fast.. feeling a sense of panic..
