date: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 time : 11:18 PM    Pic-> Tummy of 38weeks 4days gestation age (36 inches). I weighted about 54kg 8 Aug 08 scan (38 weeks 1days gestation age) I could feel that the little one is getting very low now, alot of her movement can be feel around the pelvic area and bone. Baby weight is measured 3.058kg now, Dr Khi said that if baby deliver now, will be within the weight range 2.6kg - 3.4kg. Everything is fine, other than baby engaged and dilated, there is no other sign of going to labor yet. She said still can wait, until baby is ready to come out. Dr Khi never do a VE for me this time, no need to, just need to wait for the sign. But does a CTG to monitor the baby heartbeat and also the contraction. She jokes and ask whether I want a 08.08.2008 or 09.08.2008 baby, I laughed and replied, let the little one decide ba, perhaps she want to be same birthday as her sister 0r another nicer date 20.08.2008. Glad that result of bacteria has once again confirm cleared. Left 8 more days, so does the little one prefer 20.08.2008 or 21.08.2008. Let wait and see. he!  Here my little rascal. She really entered the terrible TWO. Another 8 days will be her 2nd birthday. She have become more mischeivous, stubborn, fussy, wilful, playful than before, getting from bad to worst especially this week. Is it because she knows the little one is coming out soon, worrying that we will favour her sister over her. She can keep screaming non-stop when thing doesn't go her way, sometime out of the sudden she will throw temper out of any reason, no one knows. Her screams, her cries... will frighten other kid, ha they said won't get bully by other easily. Even the stranger hear already will also frown their brows, showing how irritating, loud and sharp the tone and pitch can be. As if we are torturing her. No one can tahan at all. Even her grandparent also cannot tolerate her temper, raise flag and surrender. Her great-grandma joke that Amabel grandfather almost heart-attack. All relatives also complains about your powerful loud scream, temper and wilfulness Can imagine how terrible this rascal is. 
   And now I can slighly relax abit cause my new maid has arrived on 7 Aug. Amabel is ok with her, just that she is more difficult to handle now. So I am back to the usual working days and hours. I got to teach the new maid abit of cooking when I am off during weekend so now Amabel is still eating meals cooked by my in law. Some days I will wake up super early to cook porridge for her for her lunch before I off for work at 8am.  Pic-> The new maid feeding Amabel eat lunch.

date: Monday, August 04, 2008 time : 9:37 AM   Tummy of 37weeks 1days Gestation age 2 Aug 08 scan (37 weeks 2days gestation age) Baby is still very active as usual, her every moves and rubbing against my skin make me painful especially the pelvic area, Dr Khi said is very normal, cause her move pressing my pelvic, making me having a sharp pain. I am so worry that she will burst the waterbag. Haha! Baby weight is now 2.8kg, Dr Khi said the weight is ok. Water level, heartbeat and blood flow all ok. Dr Khi wants to do a VE again, I asked her whether the VE will make me dilated even faster. She smile and said that if she wants or I want, she can do it. Haha! I faster replied her "No no I don't want" haha! She said she will try to be gentle. And it is 1.5cm dilated now and baby has engaged. Were told to take note of the labour signs, if there is any pain, bleed or water, don't have to call her just straight away admit. And my strep test result finally is ok, no more bacteria after taking multiple course of antibiotic. But I still worry so requested to test once again to ensure it really cleared. 26 July 08 scan (36weeks 2days gestation age) In a week time, baby gained more than 300g -a good weight gain to 2.5kg. Still underweight but not so bad. Everything is fine. Checked that I am already 1cm dilated. She said may deliver anytime, asking me to prepare. She asked me whether I have been having contraction. I replied that I had been having frequent contraction -tummy tightening since I'm 6 months pregnancy. Did a CTG and I'm having real contraction already, she smile at me and said that my pain tolerance is high that I couldn't feel the pain at all. I told her my concerns; new maid is not here yet, my temp staff is not here yet too and baby is not yet 37weeks (full term). So hoping baby won't come out so soon. Asked her way to prevent early delivery and she asked me not to overwork, not to walk too much anymore. Hubby and his family, have been helping alot in taking care Amabel, they have been helping me bathe, wash the clothes and clean her poo, so I don't have to squat so much anymore. And I am surprise that hubby trying to help clean her poo too, he never dare to smell or handle those solid, but this time without me having to yell at him for help, Instead he did it very willingly. Really thankful to them. I still continue cooking for Amabel as usual but not every meals. If in-law house is cooking extra for the kids, Amabel will have their food instead or sometime adult food. But will choose dishes for her to eat. No choice, got to release abit on her food, cause I really don't have much energy to cook for her every meals since most of the days I still returning back to work for half day. Really not much time for me to cook every meal for her too. And due to the frequent contraction, I hardly can walk long. Walk a few steps, my leg is aching already, cannot really climb up stairs also, so hubby alway drive the car to the ground floor so I don't have to climb up the stair to the carpark. And my movement is super slow now due to the contraction and I don't dare to walk to fast also, worrying that it will make me to be in labour faster. 19 July 08 scan (35weeks 2days gestation age) Baby is fine but her weight gain weren't enough. Baby is only 2.14kg - underweight. Dr Khi said if in another 1 week, baby weight gain is still so little. It might be a sign that my placenta is not providing enough nutrient to the baby, hence, she advise to deliver once hitted 37weeks. She asked me to eat more meat and try to sleep on my left side more so the blood flow to the baby is better also. Did a CTG, everything is ok. Hubby faster called up father-in-law, requesting him to cook more meat for me after the visit. He insisted me to eat on time cause the past few weeks, because of the maid issue and without the maid period, I have not been having proper meals. And I also started to drink pregnancy milk twice a day, last time too busy to make a cup and drink. Now cannot be lazy anymore.

title: Aisleyne 32 week 2 day (gestation age) scan
date: Sunday, July 13, 2008 time : 11:57 PM I am really busy this few days about the maid issue, I finally sent her back, not continuing her anymore. I feel so happy, I never be so happy before. And I feel so relieve. Will not talk more about this, I really don't have much time to write all these now. Will just faster update on Aisleyne recent scan and go sleep. Got to sleep early and wake up early, cause this few weeks, will be me taking care of Amabel and housework. Have special arrangement with my boss; taking leave to fully take care of her, but will work half day in the afternoon If hubby is not working. I can then cook for Amabel in the morning for hubby to feed her before I off for work. Today is the first day I fully take care of my little rascal. Tomorrow too. Very tired but still managable. Glad that she never ask for the maid. haha New maid will only be here in 2 to 3 weeks time. Ok here about the little one in the womb.  At her 32 week gestation age, she weighted 1.732kg, not very heavy.She gained about 600g+ in a month but mommy gained about 3kg to 50.1kg . Nothing much about the scan. Baby still very active as usual. Did the 3rd strep b test again cause discharge is still a bit yellowish and A few days ago, the nurse called to inform the result, still need to go on antibiotic again. Headed down to TMC to take the medication on Friday. Really hope the bacteria will clear asap. Video taken at 33 weeks 6 days gestation age Before I end... a pic of my Big Princess  and me  I will upload more pics when I am free again.

date: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 time : 10:58 PM 24 June 08 - 31 weeks 5 days Gestation age Aisleyne is moving very actively right now. She seems to be struggling; alot of movement here and there. Her force is so hard that like my skin want to burst. Abit kua zhang hor?! Hehe! Lazy to video it now. next time ba. Started having frequent Braxton Hick since 1 months plus ago, my tummy tightened till I need to slow down my movement if I am walking and I just hold my tummy and walk, as if it's very heavy. haha~ What are Braxton Hicks contractions? Braxton Hicks contractions are sporadic uterine contractions that start about 6 weeks into pregnancy, although you won't be able to feel them that early. You probably won't start to notice them until sometime after mid-pregnancy Just now she is having hiccups (quick steady rythm). The rhythm of the twitches and the frequency make the hiccups much different from the rolls, kicks and punches. And I let Amabel feels it, but she don't seem to be very interested on it and continue doing her on thing. humpf! Haha...She's still moving actively in the womb now. Going for my next gynae visit coming Satursday, hope she is growing very well. ~ My waist measured 35 inches already~ Next upcoming post => More update on Amabel Labels: 3rd Trimester, Aisleyne, Fetal movement, Pregnancy ADVERTISEMENTS

date: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 time : 12:56 PM Looking at how care free a kid is, Their days is only to sleep, nap, eat, play, pee, shit, cry Their cries are to ask for food, want to sleep, want to play and want our hug and pamper without any worries. we provided them food, pat them to sleep, bring them to play, clean their poo, give them a hug when they cry, provided them with whatever they need. But our cries are for stress, worries, and troubles, financial, family etc Suddenly hoping that I could turn back the time. I have been thinking about this over this period of time especially when things doesn’t goes my way. Wondering is it because of the hormone change after I got pregnant. Why I have to worrying about all this? Why I have to trouble about all this? Why I need to be stress? Why I have to go after other decisions? Why can’t I be carefree? Why can’t I just like the past do whatever I think I am right and want? Why no one helping me to release all these shit? Why the god made me grows up? I feel really regret for whatever decision I have made; my marriage, my pregnancy. But still my child has made me feel better, bless and making it a worth. That’s is why I am still here. Am I complaining again? Yes I am… If you not happy with my lot of complaints Please get out of here, I never force you to read nor come back to my blog. I believe everyone do complain also. Don’t tell me you never. See how carefree she is. Don't have to wake up early to work, got someone to cook and wake her up for meals. Sleep as and when she wants.  Really need to treasure the childhood, that is why I want to provide her, my children, a happy and healthy childhood cause.... childhood is really short Ok enough of it. here the recent pic of my tummy. Aisleyne is still as active as before. Amabel is happily talking to her reflection in the mirror  07 June 08. Hubby decided to bring us to Motherhood fair in Expo. Amabel fell asleep in the car when we are on the way there. Nothing much in the fair that I can buy In the end, just got for Amabel 2 packets of huggies diaper. Bought a box of medela bottle containers for my Medela PIS breastpump for collecting the expressed breastmilk and can use for storing breastmilk in the fridge. There is a Sweetest Moment booth @ motherhood fair. Hubby got a free voucher which is buy 10 boxes of their full month cake will free one box and he also bought a $10 cash voucher with a free gift of kid's feeding bowl, plate and spoon. So I think he will get the full month cake from them for Aisleyne. @ iGenius booth, the promoter asked us how old is my daughter, hubby immediately answered 18 months, I were so angry and show an attitude face to them. In firm tone saying…NO! is 21 months hor… I turned to hubby and said "You answered till very song hor, your own daughter how old you also don’t know", letting the promoter hear that also. Both of them still can joke about it in a funny way where I still very angry. Men can be scatterbrain! Amabel sleeps throughout until we are about to go back home. And she got herself a free balloon in the fair, she just love balloon so much. When she drops the balloon when we alight at the loading bay, I am thinking is already dirty so won't want to pick it up for her to play anymore. She cried and wants the balloon   Reach home laze on our bed. Rufusing to take pics with mommy.  So mommy camwhoring herself. Don't really likes to take photo of myself cause I don't know how to pose well, can see all my face shoot pics pattern and expression almost the same though I learnt modelling before. If catwalk I still can lah but pose in cam cannot. Lol~        8 June 08, Went to my grandparent’s house @ Jurong East to pray them. Reached there and my parent already went back home. Still we stay there from about 2pm to 5pm, we happily chatting with huihui and her mother. Her mother can play very happily with Amabel and Amabel doesn't seem to reject her, she can mix around with anyone easily most of the time after warm up for afew mins. Don't know why, I love her mom so much. She can be jovial, funny and she really care and love huihui so much. Then we headed to Tanjong Rhu, my grandma-in-law house to pray my grandfather-in-law. Had our dinner there and Amabel happily playing with the kids. She loves to have kid companions around her. She can be super crazy, active and energetic when come to playing. And the kids love her so much too.   Then we faster went to Centrepoint's Robinson @ 7.30pm. Want to get shower gel and shampoo for Amabel and hoping to get something for Aisleyne too. Bought alot of things in just 2 hours. Topped up lot of baby wipes, Shower gel, shampoo and lotion, nappy liner, baby liquid and powder detergent for clothes, milk bottles, new mattress sheet for Aisleyne's bed, and Lactacyd bathing cleanser for Aisleyne. And also a Toy car and a Thomas and friend VCD for for Amabel. She likes it so hubby bought for her. So funny, Amabel saw a Thomas and Friends's outfit and she actually ran to me and pulled me over to see it; she actually lost her way to the place where the outfit hang. She pull my hands to walk round every row to look for it. Haha so funny!! Finally she found it but is too big for her so I didn't buy for her. Then I went to Cold storage to get some vegetables for Amabel's meals too. Really tired, got home, clean up Amabel, make her sleep then I shower and get to bed. That's all for now, lunch time is over. got to start working again. But want to make a call to huihui first, today she is having her gynae visit again, if baby is not gaining weight, she may need to induce and give birth today. Hope everything is fine and went smoothly for her. Fast and smooth delivery will be a best wishes for her and of course born a cute and healthy baby Jaerio. Will be back soon for post Labels: 3rd Trimester, My Gallery, My views, Pregnancy

title: Aisleyne and Amabel
date: Thursday, June 05, 2008 time : 12:08 AM Aisleyne movement in the womb (gestation age: 28 weeks 6 days)   Aisleyne moved alot again...I faster took my camera. I want to take a video of it then she suddenly move less. ... so I wait for a while, hoping to capture a big movement from her. But only managed to capture this and I give up. Amabel likes to do housework. She will take tissue or wipe, clean the table, floor or anywhere. She alway fight with the maid over the broom and start cleaning Hubby bought Amabel out for awhile. She kept complaining to hubby that her foot is painful as most of her shoes are getting small for her growing foot. Hubby specially brought her to GWC Colettee for a pair of comfortable and nice sandal. Can see that she likes it very much, she's so happy to show me she is wearing a new sandal  Simple but very nice when wear on her little feet. $40+ for a pair of troddler sandal, quite expensive hor. But I really like Colettee's shoe especially the one that I bought for Amabel last time.  So sweet and nice right but abit expensive too. Love seeing her wearing this and now the string infront torn abit but still can wear for sometime ba. Most of my shoes also not so expensive except for my super expensive wedding shoes.

date: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 time : 2:04 PM Ouch! Leg Cramped Bad Luck in the morning. Forget it. Sian! In the middle of the night whilst sleeping, suddenly got a very serious leg cramp. It is so painful that I couldn’t move at all and unable to relax it, it took quite sometime for the pain to go and I fell back to sleep immediately. Too tired liao. This is the second I got the leg cramp. First time, he is around but I did not call him to wake up to help…. no point. I still can manage it myself. Getting more independent. Morning woke up, the leg muscle is so painful that I am limbing. Labels: 3rd Trimester, Pregnancy

date: time : 12:33 AM Baby Aisleyne  Went for my gynae appointment on Satursday. Little Aisleyne as in 28 weeks 2 days Weight: 1.122kg Heartbeat: 151 beats per minutes Mommy gained 1kg from previous visit Told Dr Khi that I worry my placenta is low cause I often carry my girl. Previous visit she does mentioned that my placenta is slightly low. But instead this visit, my placenta have moved up. I feel alot of movements very near to pelvic area. Aisleyne is in head down position and is facing up and I have high chance of having natural delivery again. Now I know why I could feel alot of movements around the pelvic area, it might be her hands keep moving and her legs keep kicking my ribcage, making me feel abit uncomfortable and sudden pain. Dr Khi said baby's nose is very sharp and she is very active, playing with her cord when she is checking on the baby blood flow and keep moving her hands and legs non stop throughout the scan. No wonder I alway feel alot of movements and is sway from one side to another, like she is struggling for more space. So I suspected the hard lump that prominent near my bellybutton which I captured it in video that day is actually her elbow or shoulder. I did a pap smear again to ensure that the bacteria is cleared. I also started experiencing Braxton Hick; my tummy tightened, hardened and cramped, abit uncomfortable that I will need to slow down my movement if I am walking. But is just a short while, it will back to normal. Checked with Dr Khi the rate of single bedded in TMC, thinking to opt for single bedded, so Amabel can get to stay in longer in the room with me or perhap can stay overnight in the hospital too. Below is their rate, it increased slightly compare to 2 years ago when i delivered Amabel Normal Delivery - 3D2N stay; 4 bedded range from $2308 onwards 1 bedded range from $3188 onwards Above includes: 1. Doctor's delivery fees 2. Hospital Room Charges 3. Hospital Visits by doctor during stay but excludes: 1. Epidural ($500 - $600) hope this pregnancy I also can tolerate not to use it 2. Baby's doctor ($200++) & nursery fees 3. Out of package expenses 4. Emergency visits 5. GST Need to pay deposit of $800 (4 bedded) - $1200 (1 bedded) Total Medisave claimable also increase abit: $1350 (inpatient) + $450 (antenatal) = $1800 My 1st pregnancy Delivery charges is quite cheap only. We didn't get to pay much cash. Total hospital charges for normal delivery without epidural (auto upgraded to 2 bedded) = $1888.83 minus off the medisave and medishield deduction, we never pay any cash and they refunded us the $600 deposit that we placed. As for the hospital charges for Baby Package for 2 days = $602.73 minus off the medisave and medishield deduction, we only paid $113.60 in cash So overall, we only spent $113.60 in cash for all hospital expenses Hope this pregnancy I also won't need to pay much cash. Recently I keep feeling very hungry at night before sleep so I alway have to pop in afew slice of breads then sleep. That day, a male colleague just mentioned that I put on some fats on my face. Ha! Got to have some breads and get to sleep now. Goodnight to Amabel and Aisleyne. And night to everyone who is reading this. Hope a better tomorrow!

title: Mini Kitchen from Aisleyne
date: Monday, June 02, 2008 time : 12:07 AM really feel like giving up and leave… Hate is always more than love. Pregnant! gotten a lot of privileges, support, concern, care and give in from others but not him Forget it, don’t want to talk and think about it anymore. How I wish I wouldn’t have to see him and hear his voice again. Thinking of going down to Ikea to get the ‘infant changing table’ tomorrow. No one to help me to carry it home, so I got to opt for chargeable delivery and assemble of the table. Need to pay much more for that, no choice. I want mean WANT. Thanks sister for getting someone to help, but forget it. Amabel always agitated me with her temper tantrum but she is always the one who make me feel better and happy when I am down. She never fails to bring smile back to my face. 30 May 08 @ Vivo City's Toy R us  Amabel saw a kids kitchen display. She likes it very much. We bought another design with much more activities  and I want to give it as a gift to her when she came hospital to visit us when I deliver. Will told her it's a gift from her meimei to her. But hubby insisted to let her play once we reach home. Faint! Think I got to crack my head to think of another gift. But we still told her is her meimei in Mommy's womb buying for her. Not sure whether she understand but when hubby told her that and want her to sayang and kiss my tummy to thank for the gift. She did it. She started to play with the kitchen parts once hubby open it to clean and assemble  Hubby asked her not to disturb, so she just stand there and watch her Daddy do it.  But just a few secs, she started touching here and there again. I asked her to sit on the sofa to wait for Daddy to done with it so she can play soon. Then she quitely sit there to see him do it   Then started playing with the bag of stuff I purchased and said "Mimi's bag"  Couldn't stop talking Know what she said??? . . 'I. I. I love youuu...' That lasted not long, hubby not done with it yet, she started to play with it and keep jumping happily seeing it going to be complete soon. ->   Finally completed... she so concentrated on it. As if she is really a cheft   See how well she can hold the knife. hahaha    Some cute and funny videos I captured when she is playing with it. We couldn't stop laughing. (Please turn off the blog music to hear what she said in the videos) Video of her putting fork, ctter and spoon on each plate. Captured part of it only. Video of her washing the knife and cut veggies... think we must be careful when doing thing infront of her, kids really pick up thing when they seeing us doing it. Amabel must has learnt from me and maid when we are cooking for her Video of her adding sauce into her cooking There are alot of funny scenes which my camera not enough memory to capture it. Like she asking us to go to her kitchen washing basin to wash our hands She cooks for us and serve us with the food etc... Lol~ When hubby told her that is sleeping bed... suddenly she... Still we managed to ask her to enter her bedroom to sleep Next day once she woke up, she ...  31 May 08, we went for my gynae visit - will update on Aisleyne status in next post. Headed to Far East Plaza, Mommy gotten herself 2 shoes, legging, tube and earring. feel happy Amabel just woke up from sleep when we reach home.  Cam-whoring before setting off to Compasspoint for dinner then Meiqi's house     In the car   The two marks caused by prolong wearing of glasses, is troubling me. How to get rid of it?? Just three of us... driving still can put his hands to the back seat... So dangerous!  Not enough sleep for today, sleep at 5.30am and woke up at 10am to bath for Amabel. At noon, went to cold storage to stock up Amabel's food. My dinner...  Cheese prata, plain prata and Yong Tou Fu. Yummy.. Eating make me feel happy Evening time, bring Amabel downstair for a walk. Try out the new pouch I ordered for awhile before I let Amabel start running... really very comfortable and nice as compare to the old one I have. Easy to use too, the old one; I alway have difficulties using it.  She throwing temper again, when I bring her home. I feeling so tired... backache and muscle ache carrying her. She hit my tummy real hard when she's struggling. Making me worry... Luckily I still feel ok now. Yesterday night before sleep, I keep thinking... am I a bad mommy to Aisleyne? I never take much care of myself, I shouldn't keep carrying her sis since she always hit on my tummy when throwing temper and struggling. I shall talk more to her. Hai... feeling so bad again. Just now Amabel cried for milk, just half an hour after her dinner; 2 bowl of jap rice with veggies and soup. She has huge appetite just like her mom. She pulls my hand to open the bedroom’s door, keep saying “Mimi… milk milk…milk milk”. I asked her to wait for awhile since she just had her dinner. She starts throwing temper and keeps saying “milk milk”. No choice but to bring her to kitchen, she thought I wouldn’t want to make her the milk. So she pesters the maid for milk. We told her I ‘m preparing the milk for her then she pushed away the maid and said “You go!” - asking her to go away since mommy is preparing for her. Lol~ Maid asked her to stand one side to wait for mommy to prepare the milk. She replied “No! I said NO” haha~ she really knows to express by words. Feeling hungry now... going to eat some bread and sleep. Tomorrow have to work... Sian! Labels: playtime, Pregnancy, Toys

This is very cliché but time really flies! It was like yesterday that I called you and told you about my pregnancy and two weeks later, you surprised me over the phone and said that your pregnancy test was positive too..hee…okay, now that mine is a prince and urs is a princess, lets see if there is some telepathy between them when they grow up. LoL. *kidding*
Last but not least, have a smooth and swift delivery. Remember to call me okay? I will pray for you just like what I did when you were birthing Amabel.
Best regards and hugs.
