My Life

See how big my tummy is… I have gained ~9kg++ and now is 60kg !!!

I went for regular check up on this wednesday. The result of my heartbeat check was out and the Thyroid Function is within the normal range. Good to hear that. As usual, my shy shy princess hiding her face under her hands and we can’t have the 3D scan again :(  We saw that my baby keep moving her lips, guess she is drinking the amniotic fluids.

For this visit, I also did the Baby Growth checking. Haha….. the head/tummy/thigh measurements showing that my baby is a bit bigger than average baby’s size. Hehe…’baby, you are a tua pui girl… :P’…. There is nothing too concern about this, but just a bit worried that my baby will be getting too big to come out if she decided to stay longer in mommy’s tummy. She is now 1.5kg and she will be growing for another 1.5kg in another 2 months

As usual, I am sitting in living room writing blog and accompanied by 3 little fishes. They always seem so happy, having fun in the little tank and keep searching for food. Fishes always so enjoying themselves regardless of where they are, big or small tank, well or poor decorated tank, clean or dirty water condition.

Guess the message that they want to tell us is “Don’t worry, be happy !!!!”. Yes, my fishes. I got your message. That’s why sometimes I just like to stare at you and enjoy seeing you swim around. BUT, you will never understand human’s world. Human’s world is too complicated for you to understand

(((hahahaha…. my little princess is hiccup now. She seems like hiccup everyday :P)))

My 3 little fishes… you had been staying with us for 1 month++. Good to see that you stay healthy and active. Hup and I will make sure that you have enough food and stay in clean water. So, continue to stay healthy, ya

My little princess, you are so lucky to have a great papa and mama..

While waiting for your arrival, papa and mama had spent so much time and $$ in the preparation of your arrival. So, remember to be good to papa and mama when you grown up, ya…

Papa have installed a storage chest for baby’s clothes and stuff. Bought from Ikea cost $89.

Mama have tidied up all the baby stuff. The little dress was bought by auntie MuiHiang, it is so cute and I bet you will like it very much !!

You will sleep in this baby cot after your arrival. Yes, the baby pram, musical mobile, disposable diapers, milk bottles, bottle warmer, sterilizer, and etc are all yours !!!. Papa and Mama had spent ~ S1.5k to buy all the baby stuff. Mama will claim from you when you start earning $$, it is a deal ya !!!

It is huge… isn’t it?

Week 28 + 6 days ( 7 months ++)
- Mama’s weight = 59.6kg (a total gain of ~9kg)

- Waist line = 37 inches (a total increase of 10 inches). The darker line in the middle of my tummy is called “linea nigra” which caused by hormone ”melatonin”, appeared on most of the tummy of pregnant woman.

- Mama’s heart beat = ~105 to 120 (increased by at least  ~25, in order to increase the blood circulation for providing nutritious to baby. Baby’s heart beat is ~150)

- Mama’s red blood cell count = ~11 (reduced from 12.5, from normal to border line because mama needs to supply blood to baby. Mama needs to take ion supplement daily)

- Mama’s eyes power increased by ~50 to 100 (caused by hormone change, should be recovered after giving birth)

- Mama’s condition: 
 *can’t walk for too long, will feel leg pain after ~1hr walk (caused by substancial increase in body weight)
 *more frequent calf cramp at night (caused by slower blood circulation in lower part of the body. Start to put pillow under my legs during sleep to improve blood circulation)
 *easily feel back pain, usually happened during driving, watching movie at movie theater with fix position. Have to change the sitting position to ease the back pain.

Hmm… another 10 weeks ++ to go. I have carried this little ‘monster’ for 7 months and so excited that I will be seeing her soon. She is super active now… pushing mama a lot when she wakes up. She even pushing (with her legs or hands) in circular motion under my tummy and made me feel so “itchy”. I don’t know how to describe my feeling, but you can just imagine the feel when something pushing out under your skin. I can touch her everyday, with her hand or legs protruding during her pushing. We always make the guess…. ‘o… this very small, should be her little hand’…. ‘o..she is pushing her both legs towards my placenta that made certain area of my tummy protrude’… ‘o…. her head now should be on my right side now, coz she kicks a lot on my left side’….hahahaha…. 

She wakes up more frequent now… even can last for ~half an hour to 1 hour before she goes to sleep again. How can we tell? Haha…. easy. When she is sleeping, you can only feel the kicks or pushing for few times, then in still mode again. BUT…. when she wakes up, she can continuously play with you for at least 15 mins…. do a lot of funny act under my tummy. Like yesterday night, guess she keep playing till ~1hr with papa and mama.. and resists to go to sleep. Can imagine that she will be so playful and active when she is born. Oh… no, this will give headache to papa and mama…..:P

Oh… ya. Talking about my visit to gynae on this Tuesday….. I have done my diabetes test and the result is negative !!!!! I am not having diabetes and I can continue eating … But I do have little control over my diet, coz I have gained a total of ~9kg. Gynae said my weight gain is normal, just I feel that I had the bad habbit to eat too much and I should stop after I feel full. The total amount of food that I can take per meal is lesser now. My growing baby had the push on both upward and downward direction, which caused lesser food intake with reduced stomach size and more toilet visits

Sometimes, I do feel that my heart beat suddently increase and back to normal after few minutes. Gynae mentioned that yes, it is normal to have faster heart beat during pregnancy (can hit up to 100, normal adult should be around 70). But, my heart beat can hit up to 118 which is a bit abnormal. She suggested me to do the blood test and see if there is any abnormal high hormone that resulted this. I am waiting for the test result and hope I am fine. 

My vagina discharge is quite heavy and yes, it is caused by the same vagina virus that I had before. Gynae gave me the same medication, which had proven working previously.

Ya… another thing. My eyes power have increased by ~100, from 750 to 850 on my right eye and from 650 to 700 on my left eye. Yes, I read from magazine that it could be caused by pregnancy and should recover after giving birth. I have to buy new contact lens with new power

As usual, gynae did the ultra-sound scan. Haha… I saw my baby yawning… hahaha… funny. My gynae also did the 3D scan on my baby’s face… but my shy baby used her hand to hide her face. So, can’t really see her clearly. (Hup and I just realized that the ultra-sound scan can do the 3D scanning too :P)

Now is 6.30am and I had started my blog writting since 5am. It is raining heavily now. My 3 little fishes are so active and making a lot of noices while I am writing blog. They are really enjoying themself in the little tank. My tenant had just woke up and she is flying today for her 1 week training in Europe. Hup said want to send her to airport… hahaha…..

Okay…. I am going to sleep now. Hope the raining noice can make me sleep better. I do like raining
