Water (Tears) tap run loose?!

Have my water (tears) tap run loose?!

I've been a very emotional person. Meaning = i get frustrated, excited, sad easily. So i can shed tear within minutes!

During these few months, things get worse and a bit out of control. My "water tap" can just run loose over small and stupid issues...

One incident happen in the office: I forgot to keep my laptop into my drawer the day before. So the next day in the office, i can't find my laptop. I start to ask my colleagues whether they have saw it somewhere. Then everyone have that cheeky look on their face saying that they don't know. I know i've been funk'd. But after 30 mins, i still can't find where they hide the laptop. My tears start to went loose... That is when the rest start to panic... Oh oh... she is crying. My service manager finally reveal the truth. Everyone start laughing and come toward me and took pictures. So bad... They ask me, why did i cry when i know i've been funk'd? I just say I DON'T KNOW. Sighz... maybe the BB hormones?!

Another incident is about Chocolate Eclair: It happen during the weeks when i'm sick. I've the urge to eat chocolate eclairs. And i want to go Delifrance to get one during our shopping trip at Orchard. But Kaman just ignore me. So i'm very pissed off during the way home and my tears are rolling inside my eyes. When we reached home, he need to go downstairs to pack dinner. He ask me what i want. I just tell him: I WANT CHOCOLATE ECLAIR! He say he know i've the craving for it, but he wouldn't want me to eat it b'cos i'm coughing like mad. Eating chocolate now will make it worse. It is then my tears came out... I just want to eat... A small bite will be good enough. In the end, I got my dinner and chocolate eclairs as dessert! Hee... Thank you, dear!

My bump and me

24 November 2007

It's time for another tummy photo taking. There is not much increase in size. I'm now measuring 94cm, a increase of 3 cm. But for weight wise, i'm now 61kg! I've gain 9kg from the start till now.

From a pregnancy magazine i read that the extra weight gain are:

Breast 8% 0.72kg
Placenta 9% 0.81kg
Ammniotic fluid 11% 0.99kg
Weight of Baby 39% 3.51kg
Expanded uterus 11% 0.99kg
Extra blood volume 22% 1.98kg

Dr. Chris Chong also mention that my weight gain now is normal, not too much or less. Just eat healthy...

My 3rd batch of medicine

19 November 2007

These are my 3rd batch of medicine for my flu and cough. This are from my gynae, with antibiotic and cough syrup and blah blah blah... Cross my fingers... Hopefully these can helps... Cos the cough is the main torture. Can't sleep well with the "non-stop coughs" and i know Litttle Tsui dun like the cough too.

Another visit to gynae

17 November 2007

Our gynae visit again! This time going for an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to check for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). So i've to go without food last night, It's a torture for a "still-sick" pregnant woman. I'm starving for food and coughing "like mad"....

This morning, we got to the clinic and have my blood draw to keep as the baseline and also urine sample taken. Then she let me drink a super sweet carbonated drink (luckily is orange flavored). I've sit and wait for another 2 hours before the next blood and urine sample can be taken. These samples will be tested to know how my body react to sugar intake. So finally at 11 plus, we went over to Dr. Chris Chong's clinic to have my routine checkup.

Ultra-scan to see my little bb... he is doing great! He have his spine facing up. So can't see his face. But we got to hear his heartbeat again. Quick and strong! He is weighing 1.47kg now. Getting heavier once time. A very good sigh. The EDD might be earlier, at this growth rate. Although, i'm not in 28weeks yet, but bb is more than 29weeks in size.

So the same thing, infection is around. Sighz... A cleanup and medicated gel is given. Also a few different medicines for my flu and coughs. The bill came up to be over $200 again.

Then we left the clinic for LUNCH! I'm so hungry that i ask for a peach tart at Delifrance. I can't wait to eat!!!! We went to Far East Plaza for chicken rice then to Orchard library to borrow some pregnancy related books. After that, just go home to eat medicine and sleep. This is my Saturday... sighz...

When is the good old days coming back?!

14 Nov 2007

Arrgghhh... Still sick. Have been at home popping pills, sleep, wake up, eat, pee and sleep, eat and pee... A very bad cough on Monday, then a fever yesterday. Went to the doc, she give me 2 days MC to stay at home to rest. Sighz...

When is the good old days coming back?! I almost need to "stay-in" the toilet... pee and pee and pee... Little Tsui is getting my bladder pressurized...

My dinner dresses

12 November 2007

With the changing body size, there is a lot of clothes i can't wear. Including some favorite dinner dresses... So sad... So with a few wedding dinner invitations, I've to look for a few dinner dresses to wear. I become more concern of my looks since i got pregnant... I'll keep thinking " Do i look fat in this?!" ( Although, I think it is a very stupid question...)
So this is how i wear for the 3 wedding dinners I've attended. ( i think the black dress make me look less pregnant.)

But I might need more dresses for the upcoming dinners! Hee...

We got sick together...

11 November 2007

It's the first time we got sick together. On 7 November morning, i can feel the "flu virus" have got me. The whole day is "ya, i think I'm going to fall sick...". And true enough, i got a flu. That's the worst holiday i got, 8 Nov is a PH. As I've my A-Mei's concert tickets on hand... Arrgghhh... I pop a few pills, then rest for the whole day and still went for the long waited concert with the flu!

9 Nov- Next day is worst, I've to take MC from work and go the doctor. She can't give me much, as I'm pregnant. But add up all the necessary pills i've to take normally, I've to pop in 9 pills in total! That's so scary...

10 Nov and 11 Nov- The weekend is bad... still flu flu flu... Saturday, i just leave the house to have my lunch and a haircut downstairs. Then Sunday i went for my 1st pre-natal yoga at True yoga and follow by a wedding dinner at night. I still feel sick. Not 100% back to normal. How can a little flu virus got me to this kind of state?! Sighz...

Hopefully, i can be back to normal and 100% energy soon... Monday is coming...

2nd Trimester to 3rd Trimester worries

6 Nov 2007

The second trimester is made of weeks 14 to 26. I'm at my week 26 le... Countdown 98 days to EDD on 12 Feb (or maybe earlier).

My belly is getting rounder and continue to gain weight. I do look pregnant, but maybe with my dress code and hairstyle, some people on train have that kind of questions in mind " Is she pregnant a not? Or she jus have a very full buffet? Or "She is jus fat? Or "I think she dun need the seat?!"

Ignoring a pregnant lady is so annoying! This is really something i hate. If i'm not tired, i'm fine with YOU taking the seat. But if i need the seat, I need YOUR seat! My belly carry weight... It's not like a balloon, it's containing water, which weight KGS!

I still prefer bus, not saying the people on bus give up their seats for me. It's because there are more seats on the bus compare to train.

Can people treat me like a pregnant lady?
- I can't walk at fast pace now, cos i'm more heavy
- Although i like to sit at top deck on bus, i've my worries going up and down the stairs when the bus is moving
- I get hungry easy and fast, just let me eat!
- I need more clothes, cos a lot of the old ones can't be worn
- I need more love from people around me.

So many worries, getting pre-birth depression?

Will our BB仔 grow up like him?

4 Nov 2007

Minna no Tabo 大口仔

He is Ka Man's favorite cartoon character. He is born (created) in 1984, 5 May... It's our wedding anniversary! We have almost the whole house filled with him... Our bedsheet, master bedroom toilet, kitchen tiles and small items like key chain and plates. Cos people usually say to paste more cute cute baby pictures on the wall, then your bb will grow up like him... I'm looking at a lot of Minna no Tabo... Will our BB仔 grow up like him?

But Ka Man does look a bit like him... Haha...
