baby A's damage to our wallet so far..

Hm, decide to pen this down before i forget:

1st gynae visit = 100 sgd
2nd gynae visit = 50 sgd + 50 sgd (DHA)
3rd gynae visit = 550 sgd (prenatal package)
Blood test = 120 sgd
Detailed scan = 220 + 50 sgd (3D photo)
BB clothes bought so far todate = 32 sgd


other stuff pending and to slowly get:

1) new milk bottles
2) pacifier
3) maternity pads
4) towel (bathing)
5) booties & mittens (jade's ones are loose already after constant wash and wear)
6) avent duckbill valves (replacement) and i need to check the damage SIL did to my manual pump, maybe i get another one.. do i need a double pump? this round, maybe have to latch less and pump more..
7) toddler bed/ playpen?
8) nursing clothes
9) a prezzie from baby A to Jadelle
10) cotton wool
11) herbal bath packets
12) no rinse shampoo
13) book massage lady

ah.. can't remember what else!

Week 21 and detailed scan over!

All is clear!! Baby A is drowsy after a heavy and nice lunch with mummy & daddy @ Waraku.. but he perked up after constantly getting pressed by the radiologist..


phew, but we managed to take a 3D photo this round.. Jadelle didn't have one as she was hyper active that time!


And again, poor daddy no get to see the scan leh..

Hmm, from the photos, feel that um, he got his daddy's lips.. nose looks like mine and oh dear, i think his eyes are as small as mine, but then, his eyes were closed, so not sure leh..

Anyway, we cleared the detailed scan in 1/2 hr - record time! And he is perfectly fine in all aspects!!

Showed the photo to my MIL & jadelle also.. i think the photo looks abit scary leh..

Studying, Pregnant, New work environment and.. change job portfolio after only 6 months..

I never thought that my life would have change this way..it used to be so comfortable in the old job, prestigious but lower pay and 9-6pm job mostly, unless i am travelling.

It reached that stage that i asked, there must be more?? I wanted more..more EVERYTHING! As usual, i want to have my cake and eat it..

Took the plunge and jumped into a totally different industry.. New product sales were tougher then what was anticipated due to supplier's resistance and lack of support..but track records are starting to build..

And getting pregnant was unexpected.. job security was a worry.. i wondered how my CEO looked at me.. i took it day by day..

This week, got confirmation from CEO that he wishes to halt pursuing this product but was happy with what I did in the circumstances and wishes me to join another company in the Group doing marine scaffolding, which is his best division.. whole new game! and definitely further and further away from steel... and into smaller and smaller firms..

My colleague reacted jealously to the news.. very unexpected, coming from a veteran with 27 years of working experience.. I guess

Yet, the exposure.. the learning never stops.. i wonder if i know enough.. i worried when i don't.. i hope the new male boss is supportive.. the lady director seems suspicious of me, after all, i am sent over from the biggest shareholder to sit into their company as their eyes and ears.

2009 will be better right for Horses?

And i hope Baby A will be healthy, guai, easy to jaga, and Jadelle will love him to bits..He will be an Ox? or a Rat?? Hopefully Ox..

Week 20 check up coming up next week, followed by detailed scan.
