Has been torturous …
Since Week 37 ..Saturday..it was the start of my slow and steady torturous journey..(I felt bad as I was typing this..cos..it’s not his fault..though I just happened to be suay bah..so Lil’ One..don’t be offended by this entry..Mummy needs an avenue to vent my uncomfortableness)
Since last Sat, it started with me couldn’t wake up at my usual time..which is around 9+ to 10+. Instead I sleep till almost 12 noon, when Kelvin returned to work and joined him for lunch! Lil’ One must be hungry already..but I no matter what I just can’t get myself out of the bed…I never felt so tired n sleepy b4!
So thought after the long sleep…my energy is more or less replenished..heh heh..I was so wrong..my body felt so weak…that I took a long time to finish my lunch. What follows was even worse…body starts to ache esp. my waist area.. for a moment..my mum thought I was going into labour…(hahaha so am I) Tahan until I had my dinner..and a cold chin chow drink..wah…suddenly I felt refreshed and recharged!Unbelievable…I had never like to drink chin chow..BUT…lately…it seems so attractive to me….haha…pregnancy never fails to amaze me….
What follows till this week..is the same old drama lor….one day I can wake up feeling like a zombie…and the next…feeling alrite…so unpredictable…and lousy days…I have to call back to office…to ask for urgent leave…and slept till 1 pm! All because I have sleepless nights….n just to “add a pinch of salt to the wound”…I had my all-time-pregnancy No. 1 enemy – ACID REFLUX..! Great isn’t it..? Top it off like toppings to ice-creams!
I felt so bad…now…cos…was supposed to meet up with the gals for Sye’s birthday/Christmas celebration..but at the rate I am going…how am I going to meet up with them…?
Dear gals thanks for being so understanding and accomodating..by changing the venue…even though I don’t know for sure…if I will be able to meet up with u gals…I will try my best..
P.S :
Lil’ One…if u could ever sensed mummy is writing this pile of complaints..please…don’t be offended…its not ur fault.
After our visit to gynae, we didn’t really spend much time shopping around Orchard. It’s a pity cos I had very much wanted to shop for my CNY’s clothing and shoes.
Partly being the fact that we have alot of errands to run and also I do not wish to waste my energy unnecessary, given the current status that I am in now….must use wisely u know..(everywhere is so crowded….and I don’t think anyone would give a shit and thinks hey a preganant woman is around do watch out for her…and don’t knocked into her…so I better take care of myself and avoid crowded places, esp. around this period. Another thing that I realised is that most people still dun feel the recession crunch yet…they are shopping like nobody’s business…wor…hmm..)
Anyway back to our errands, after Orchard our next stop is Chinatown – People’s Park. What r we doing there, u may ask? Well, (1) to collect our photos from Studio Loft, and (2) to buy my toiletories. Again, I saw alot of clothings at the People’s Park Complex..if u have been there…u would realised that they have a lot of shops down there selling alot of trendy clothing and working outfits as well at reasonable price…argghh……how to buy…what size to buy…? I can’t buy…argghhhhh..so after we chop chop with our errands, pit-stop for some snacks n drinks and we are off to the next stop.
BabyKingdom @ Kaki Bukit Ave 1.
Yesh….we are there …with the intention to buy a pram and Lil’ One’s rocker.
Thinking that it will be cheaper…but not really lah…actually..we have been there before..but we realised that the pram which we wanted to buy is cheaper at Carrefour, which we happened to chance upon the other day. As for the rocker, we have been doing our survey and must say not much of a diff., so since we are already there…we got one of it. It’s a Fisher-Price baby/toddler bouncer & rocker, and it allows Lil’ One to have it until he is 3 yrs.
After Baby Kingdom, we were off to S’pore Expo for the JL sale. Thought I saw Capella’s on sale there…so decided to pop by and check out for any bb products. Sad to say, the last Capella stroller had just taken by one couple..argghh….so not meant to be. Never mind, we managed to buy a blanket and two Carter’s body suits for Lil’ One. As for myself, hehehe…i managed to buy a pair of Charles & Keith shoes ~ FINALLY!
At this stage, Kelvin was already very tired…so are my feet and so we decided to call it a day. Last stop, dinner at Popoeyes Changi Airport T1. We have been craving for it..since don’t know…when our last visit….BUT though..I was a bit apprehensive about eating there…fearing that their quality may be compromised afterall they have opened another two new outlets.
Aiyoh…boy I was so right….the first sight of the much awaited fried chicken was so oily. We are so disappointed..we have switched from KFC to Popoeyes mainly bcos of this..and now…*sigh*….another disappointment is they have cut down their sides, they used to serve two sides coleslaw and mashed potatoe, but now…only sreve one side..cutting cost bah….but one thing still for sure…they serve tastier coleslaw than KFC.
Oh boy…by the time we reached home…we were so tired….but my dear friend still managed to play his fav. PC game wor….suddenly he became recharged leh! Typical men….tsk tsk tsk….

Saturday, 11:15 AM
Woke up early to get ourselves ready for the fortnightly gynae check-up and had a hearty breakfast at Paragon’s Coffee Beans & Tea Leaves .
Thought we were late for our appointment…but aiyoh….we were so wrong…today the clinic is reallllll….packed with preggies! ”Mad house” for the nurse & clinic assistant.
Had the routine check done by the staff nurse and this time round…my BP is a bit low and lost some weight….funny and I really dunoe..why.
I have been eating normally, and more…but…what happened…beats…me…? Maybe all these have ben fully absorbed by our Lil’ friend. Kelvin was asking me…then Lil’ One…will not gained any weight lor…which I doubt so….I told him we’ll know…after we hav seen Dr Ong.
Well we waited for almost an hour before its our turn…never mind..since its a Saturday.
Dr Ong also noticed the reduced in my weight and was a bit concern and thought I had been having my reflux…and vomiting.
Yes..I have been experiencing..reflux…but I am still doing fine. Its a second nature to me…now…and I am used to it..and good at curbing it already (most of the time it’s Master Fresh Milk to the rescue! ahahahah…how I wish they will offer me a loyal membership ..for never had I consumed so much fresh milk in my life!). Anyway, my guess is that Lil’ One has been tapping on my reserves fats..hahaha….n the food that I have ate.
Worrying that Lil’ One is not getting enough nutrients….Dr Ong went on to do the ultrasound scan. Our favourite part of the whole check-up.
Glad that things are looking fine…and his heartbeat is beating normally, and growth is on track.
He is now weighing about 2.7 kg and we even saw his very chubby cheeks! Boy…we are so glad that his adipose tissues are building up nicely…I hope..he can reach 3 kg before he comes on to meet everyone.
According to Dr Ong, Lil’ One is engaged already..and all set to come on…and Dr Ong..still jokingly asked me..am I ready for Lil’ One’s arrival…and I told him…ehhhh…..he said U got to tell urself…”I am ready fo him”….hahahah….he is so busy and yet he has got the time to joke…o.m.g. Anyway, he gave me an admission letter for standby and at the back of the letter, there are some pointers and refresher notes for parents….how thoughtful of him. 
)
Next visit, 15 Dec 2008. Hope we would be be able to see him again at his clinic and note at the delivery suite…cos…I really hope that Lil’ One will not arrive so soon, hopefully until 3 kg bah.
Lil’ One here’s a message to u, please let mummy complete all my work first before coming out to meet all of us ok?
Yesh….the subject title has aptly described what I am going thru’ now. My darn hormones are wrecking havoc…in. me…n my life
My first victim..Kelvin, followed by my sis and latest..my mum…I hope she will be the last.
I suddenly realised that my teenage rebellious character has returned to haunt me once again…I thought it had left me..for good! I am a raging monster…terrrible…tsk tsk..tsk….
Control, control, control…..that is what I have been hearing ringing in my head and people around me…telling me. U think so…easy meh…???? If I can control, all the above will not have happened and I can prevent it from coming….this is nature and biological…how to go against…??? f I am GOD then perhaps….maybe there is some slim chance…
Well, I just hope…everything will turn out to be ok …can’t wait for the ordeal to get over and done with.
