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!

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...
