Fendi watch found!!

hehe,

sotong daddy & mummy... my watch was actually at home! We scared ourselves and i was soooooooo depressed for 1 whole day!!

AK was like.. oh manz.... he was so pissed when the watch wasn't found @ the gynae.. keke... and before the watch was found, he volunteered to buy me another watch... haiz.. i know hor.. maybe i should have kept quiet on it!! haha! but, no lah.... prefer him to save that sum of $$...

Next gynae checkup will be another Monday (by then, i am week 36++).. by then, we will be doing a strep B check, plus perhaps a dilation check? time is zooming past fast..

Some of the Aug MTBs on the forum are popping one by one... makes me panicky.. so much has yet to be done..

35 weeks.. what's next??

Ok,

Last check up was last night.. As usual, baby is very hyper and can't wait to see the gynae to see how she is doing.. well, she has grown again, gaining 475grams and now weigh about 2.192kg @ 34 weeks, 4 days...

Took blood pressure, urine test, all clear! Only problem is.. I left my Fendi watch behind!! ARRGHHH!! I hope the next patient will not steal my watch.. sob......

Next visit, I will be doing the Strep B culture test and it will be in the morning.. so, won't be going to work..

Baby's name.. sigh.. that causes lots of headache..... Jadelle/ Jermaine Kwok??? hehe.... I kind of like Jadelle, but Jermaine seems more acceptable, cos more common leh..

Chinese name ah... Hui(4) Xuan (1)?

Today will be the 1st day of the Chinese 7th Month.. so, no going home late tonight.. and we will be praying downstairs..

keke.. hiaoz mummy, daddy & baby!

Rounded tummy me......

We took maternity shots over the weekend at WP's studio.. She did charge us a very reasonable rate of 88 sgd nett... had some shots with natural sunlight also.. Spent 1.5 hrs taking the shots.. we brought along our own outfits.. (5 changes!!), brought along some props also (milk bottle, bebe listener, mp3 player etc..)

Did my own make up and didn't do much about my hair.. took ~200+ photos! The photos are ready liaoz.. can't wait to receive the CD ROM via post.. will be uploading it once i receive the CD ROM and downsize the photos.. Think i will print out the photos also for memories' sake and maybe to do up a scrap book? keke.. what do i know? I am the one bad at art!

Think i will get the CD tonight???

Work is getting more stressful.. I hope i can do up most of the projects/ presentations before end of this month. No idea how to hand over.. but no way i am leaving my laptop behind! Can't have the temp girl messing up my laptop! Can't bear that!!

before moving forward, we look back, just for a while...

AK juz gave me a link.. to a website he created for my 21st b-day... it brings back lots of memories.. keke.. and a very skinny me!! phew.. guess most of my TTC frenz won't recognise that it is me lor.. I added it to this blog, under family & frenz.. take a look!

Got news that JJ has BFP.. was so happy for her, and praying that all will be smooth now.. Also checking on R, hoping she is coping well with everything...

Time is moving fast... i muz treasure the last few weeks of our DINK lives.. Baby is moving about still naughty girl.. still not sleeping.. keke.. same as mummy!

Gynae's check up at week 32... 1.717kg liaoz..

Met Dr. Chandras last night for my scheduled 32 weeks check up.. blood pressure was ok.. we updated him that we have toured the wards & attending th antenatal class @ MAH.
Topics we discussed about:

Epidural
He suggest that we go for epidural once I cannot tahan the pain. The dosage can be controlled to regain some sensation in active labour stage which will allow me to feel the contractions.

Episiotomy
Most first time mothers can't avoid this cut, and it won't be painful when administered. However, i told him that it was the pain AFTERWARDS that i dislike. Fear of constipation, urination problems etc..

PD
He has already booked Dr. Terence Tan for us. So, no problem

Doctor's letter
Not necessary as this is required usually for scheduled deliveries.. like planned c-section, induced birth..

Ward preferences
Upon admission, I can inform the nurses/ clerks that I prefer to be in Our Lady ward instead of St. Raphael's. They usually try to accomodate, but, no guarantees.

Next appointment
3 weeks later. So, all seems fine, with my blood pressure & everything. My weight is now 52.5kg, from my pre-pregnancy weight of 44kg. Baby weighs 1.717kg now and is expected to be a 3+kg baby.. average weight. If baby needs to double her size, i will be like a clusmy sack of potatoes very fast over next few weeks. gotta remember to apply more & more cream & oil! Already, the rashes are starting up again!

This is week 32... & counting down..

Wow,

After 2 years, AK finally decided to help me to scan our wedding studio shots into soft copy!! Talk about a DELAY.. keke.. See under family & frenz for the uploaded link!!

It was clearly imprinted in my mind at the time of photo taking, i was grumbling about my "little tummy & flabby arms".. now, looking back at those shots, i decided that i don't mind my figure back then! Especially as compared to now! Especially comparing arms & tummy & thighs!!

Frankly, it is no fun watching one's body go through these changes.. especially for vainpots like myself! I wonder about 80% of the time if i will lose my youth as i put myself through all these extremely aging process of pregnancy.. Experts advise no dieting during this period as well as post pregnancy to ensure that one's body has the necessary nutrients to recover from the extreme process of pregancy & delivery.. This amounts to "fattening me up", according to me.. I see my underbust girth expanding from 32 to 34 and now approaching 38.. and i wonder about the plentiful cheongsams that i love so much in my now defunct pre-pregnancy wardrobe..

Youth, so fleeting, yet so cherished by me.., something that my other half fails to comprehend.. no amount of reassurance, consolation & hugs can pull me away from the thoughts that i am slowly, inch by inch, losing my youth...

Fear, of being one of those hated auntie-looking mummies around abound in my heart. yet, I do understand why they exist, when pregnancy is so tiring, sometimes, it is really hard to look hip & trendy & fresh.. expecting a princess supposedly helps me look radiant.. but, i can't help noticing the pronounced freckles & the eyebags beneath my small flat eyes....

Went for antenatal class on saturday where they showed a video about childbirth.. it was extremely squeamish for me.. especially the episiotomy cut.. i HATE.. i repeat.. I HATE HATE HATE OPERATIONS, WOUNDS & CUTS!!

They make me feel extremely vulnerable & subjected to other people's control.. kaoz..I think the coming months may mean plenty of nightmares about the impending labour process... wish time will move faster so i can get things over & done with.. then again, this means AK & my life will be forever changed.. Can't decide on which one is the lesser of the 2 evils....

Gynae's appointment tonight @ 7pm... at least i will be glad to see baby...
