3rd Trimester Coming Up!

Today is my last day of Week 24… Baby going to be in 3rd Trimester stage already… I could feel she's growing stronger and stronger as each day goes by… I could feel her kick stronger and more painful for me.. But it seems like she knows wat we are talking abt... when i try to wake her up and kick daddy... she will... just tat daddy got to wait for her to kick... my tummy growing bigger and bigger... till now, i gain abt 9kg.. meaning to say i am feeling heavier and heavier now... my legs started to cramp more frequently at nites... my back ache alot!! and tat is terrible for me... cos i could feel the pain and when it comes, no matter i sit or lie down, i can't cure my pain until i have enough rest, then my pain slowly goes off... but it will be back very fast when i am standing for some time...when i am attending the antenatal class in KK, the nurse mentioned that when mummy feels back ache, it might be due to baby lying on mummy tats y cause mummy to have back ache... tink baby really lying too comfortably inside tat i am experiencing back ache so often... i m looking forward to my pre-natal massage on 5 Oct... 2 more weeks to go... hoping the massage will ease my pain...

Last week at KK, i finally decided to buy the medela breast pump.. after considering for quite some time, we decided to get Medela Freestyle... We got it at $759 at The First Few Years at KK... being comparing the function for freestyle and pump in style... finally feel like freestyle is better in many ways... and of cos more ex in anyway oso.... since buy liao, i really have to be determine to breastfeed baby... if not, all these will gone to waste... we really spend a lot on baby... recently i seldom shop for my own things... so unlike me, but i like to shop for baby things... keke... it seems fun and nice to shop for her things..

Last week, daddy went himself to Ikea to buy the Chest of Drawers… then he didn’t tell mummy abt it… cos he wanted to give mummy and kaylia a surprise… indeed, I was surprised to see the chest of drawers, installed and place nicely at baby's room… dunno wat surprise will daddy give again for the coming weeks... he still got plenty of things to do... eg paint baby room and decorating... think he's not getting himself free oso... got plenty of stuff waiting for him to do...

Yesterday I went to Isetan private sale… bought clarins products… cos got 20% off… so bought a toner and moisturiser… which cost me abt $94… then I buy 2 mphosis pouch… 3 home shorts for myself… 1 water container, and the rest… all small baby stuffs… I bought nuk pacifier... cos the lady told me tat the design is flat so its good for baby jaw development... so i choose nuk instead of avent in the end... oso got a pacifier holder... pigeon powder puff, cotton buds, seat belt protector, and some bibs... the bibs when i came back, i realise i dun like the shape... like odd shape n the cloth not nice... maybe still will let baby use at home lor... if not wasted oso... $6 somemore leh...

See if this week, if can, maybe we will be getting baby cot for baby… tmr going to visit gynae to see baby… recently I keep feeling the middle of my upper tummy very painful… but its not constantly one.. So I believe must be gal gal doing something inside poking me or wat... tmr going to ask doctor abt it...

Graco Playpen & Bumbo Seat

On 7 Aug 2009, when Isetan having baby fair, we bought a graco playpen & bumbo seat for baby... we bought the playpen at $199 where other places selling at $299... so still a good buy then... but the best buy is the bumbo seat... we bought at $49.90... so happy to buy things for baby.... it has been so long since i last buy things for myself.. haha... cos nothing much for me to buy oso... ~boring~ but at least can buy baby things... we apply for isetan card... and plus the playpen, and clothings, and set of baby pillow with bolsters, we pay abt $250... and we got back $25 voucher... so we used the vouvher to buy the bumbo... its really great buy... cos worth it lor... haha... the Isetan lady even tell me ur husband good at all tis huh... haha... cos he settled everything, while i busy looking at things... hope there's somemore fair n i could have better discounts in buying things for baby...

BabyPlus

BabyPlus information at: http://babysingapore.com/babyplus.html
We bought BabyPlus on 1 Aug 2009... so since then i have been using it for 3 weeks... we bought it at $288... it was quite expensive for something we dunno if it is really useful... but one thing, baby started to kick me when i am 17 weeks... it really generate her reaction.. actually we were wondering if baby likes or dun like the babyplus... cos it might be quite noisy for her... but still we bought... cos the main feature of the babyplus is to help baby to reach her milestone earlier and wont be a grouchy baby next time... i am at my lesson 3 rite now...think baby is used to it already... although i tried to follow everyday 10am & 10pm per day.. but sometimes, i still overshot by abit... hee...

Initially when i started using babyplus in office, i find it quite irritating in a way... cos everybody asked me wat's tat? n everybody doubting the use of it... although i oso a bit doubt on it lah... but buy already mah... so must use it lor... never try how u will know... n the most disgusting part is ppl keep telling me this kind of sound where got nice for baby to hear? should let baby hear music mah.. of cos music i oso let baby hear but tis is different mah... tis is with education purposes mah... haizz.. sometimes i regretted using it in office... but if early in the morning, i use at home, it will be too early for me... n i need to bath so if wearing tat, i am not able to bath... so the only choice is office... haizz... hope ppl will stop asking me and giving me comments on my babyplus...

Ours is a baby girl

Yesterday, i went for the detailed scanning... cos i have hit my 20 weeks... i never imagine it to be so detailed as in the see the baby's brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, bones, spine and etc... when doctor tried to explain to us the medical terms, he could see that we dun understand him... haha.. both of us are like staring at the screen dunno wat's happenning... so he told us... its very technical... keke... i could see baby is growing fine with all the features on... although i dun understand the doctor's saying, but i could see baby's eyes, nose, hands, feets, etc... they are all growing fine... then when comes to the sex organ, yong was asking the doctor, is baby a gal or a boy... haha... then doctor showed him baby is a girl... keke... i think tats the most impt part we are eager to know... hee.. we scan for about 15-20mins... after the scanning, the doctor told us... congratulations, you have a healthy baby! we felt so relieved hearing that... at least dun have to worry so much for now... then we went to see Dr WK Tan... she told yong, our baby is weighing at 354g now... n she won't be too big nor too small... she will be an average baby... then she put me on bed and out a round thing on my stomach... i heard "zzzzzzzzz" sound and some pomp pomp sound... it sounds like radio not connectivity like tat... then doctor told me... the pomp pomp sound is the baby heartbeat... the "zzzzzzz" sound is baby movements... then she said baby is very busy inside... keke... think baby is trying to swim again... haha... but no space for her liao... cos doctor cant measure her exact length as she's curling up already... then i told yong... a healthy baby is more important than the sex of the baby... Thanks god for giving us a healthy baby...

On our way back, we were talking abt baby's name... most likely, we will be calling baby "Kylia"... we been thinking either Kaylia or Kylia... the pronousation is the same but it seems like Kylia in words seems nicer than Kaylia... As for the meaning of Kylia, the origin is from Scottish and the meaning is lovely...

So baby, remember if next time you were to ask mummy how ur name comes about, u could read the blog and u will know...

Peg Perego Pliko P3 Classico Stroller (Moka)

We bought a pram for baby on Sunday... We went to Hypermart at Kaki Bukit... we bought it at $599.... Been thinking for quite some time so decided to buy Peg Perego... Have considered many other brands by comparing features and etc... but think tis suits us more... so we decided to get for baby... Actually last week at Vivo City Spring Maternity, we saw the pram selling at $598... but we didnt buy yet cos considering the limitation of colours... cos display they only have orange colour and the lady told us must check stock if still have the colour... we saw from catalogue considering red or moka colour... but we didnt get to see the actual colour... so in the end we didnt buy...

So on Sunday, we went to Hypermart, they have all the colours there and were on display... initially i like the model Switch but it cost $1,088 before 15% discount... n the weight of the pram is 11kg which is too heavy for us... but its really nice lor... but not worth it to get a pram near $1,000.... so we still decided on P3... when i saw the moka colour, i really like it lor... comparing with the catalogue, it looks different... so we decided to buy... cos the normal retail price is $758, which is true and we saw it at mothercare oso... then Hypermart got 20% discount so selling at $599... so thinking n thinking, we decided to just get... then we ask for freebies, but the person say dun have, maybe they can give us a fan at $7.90... but we think not worth it... so we ask for a 20% discount to get the raincover for the pram... the original cost of the raincover cost $59... so ex... so after discount is $47.20...

Kayden or Kaylia?

I feel so excited.. Coming sat I will be visiting my gynae again… meaning I would have chance to see the sex of baobao… 2 more days to go… been thinking of names for baobao… have come across many but not suitable… but my bro's gf gave us a list of names... then i saw tis name for boy.. which is "KAYDEN"... we like tis name... so we probably will name baby if a boy as Kayden.... then we have totally no idea for baby gal... then i suggest how about "KAYLIA"... although i find it ok... but if there's better name, maybe will consider to change.... so baobao... pls let us know u r kayden or kaylia.... we are excited to find out....

First Lesson of Prenatal Class

Last Sat was the first lesson of the prenatal class I attended… it was basically theory… on growth of ur body… to be frank… it was rather boring… cos mainly it covers the first 3 mths of ur pregnancy which I had already been through it… so it's just a recap of my memory.. haha... Baobao's daddy was dozing off in class lor... he even feel more bored than me... hopefully the rest of the lessons will be more interesting.. ~hopeful~

After the lesson, we went for shopping… at Sim Lim wherby Shangjuan and Qingfeng buying external harddisk & thumbdrive…. Then we went on to Suntec Spring Maternity to shop for clothes as there are sales going on…. I bought 3 pants, 4 tops at $100… for maternity range, it is consider cheap... hee hee... After Spring Maternity, we went to Marina Square MotherCare to look at prams... but after seeing so many kind of prams, i really have no idea on which to buy... ~confused~ maybe will leave to later part... but we saw the ferrari car seat.. cost abt $369 i think... its quite nice.... n can use from new born to few yrs old... so consider not bad... then once u released the seat belt, there will be a tone to alert.. so it sounds interesting... Followed by 6pm, we are supposed to meet for dinner with Kek & Shenise, Bird and Mag, Kang & Yuhui, Junsiong... total 11 of us at waraku... but we waited with Kek & Shenise until 7pm before the 5 of them arrived... Haizz... dun understand them... they always have to be late... ~puzzled~

After the dinner, we proceed rite back to Sembawang… at Qingfeng's house… cos we gals having a mahjong session which the guys playing texas holdem… baobao must be thinking both parents like to gamble… haha… poor baobao… dun grow up to be a gambler ok?

Baby Girl or Baby Boy

As my stomach grow bigger and bigger every day, everyone around me started to realise that i am pregnant... when i m abt 3 mths pregnant but my stomach is big... haha... ppl asking am i 4 mths already? oh my god.. it seems my stomach is big lor... haha... now i am weighing abt 44.7kg now.. my weight before pregnancy is abt 42 to 43kg.. so i am heavier by 1-2 kg now.. i eat everyday of around 5 meals a day... worse of all is even i finish a meal, i still feel hungry... it seems like my baby is eating a lot!! baby baby.... dun make mummy overweight k?

Question around me at this stage is u prefer a baby boy or gal? come to think abt it... i really dunno leh... cos sometimes, i like to have a baby girl... cos having a girl i can dress up for her... n girl is close to mummy mah... but on the other hand, sometimes, i would like a boy... cos boy is cute oso... can play more and more actively... but anyway, i dun mind either sex... so a baby boy or girl, i would love equally... in the past, i always hope to have a elder brother, so in my mind, i would hope tat my first child is a boy... then second child is a girl.... but i a bit worry tat wat if both are boys... then the whole house will be in a mess... but if both girls i can still accept it... haha... i bias... but i think i better dun think so much... and hope tat my baby is healthy and grow up well...

Tomorrow i m going to attend the antenatel class at KK... tomorrow is my first lesson... quite looking forward to it... hope i will enjoy my lesson tomorrow.... update more after my lesson...
