My Life

Finally….. my bb was discharged from hospital yesterday. She have to stay at hospital for another 3 nights because of high Jaundice’s level, 350 -> 225 -> 250 -> 220. Jaundice’s level of 220 still a bit high but doctor said it should be okay to discharge. Just, we have to put her under the sun bath for 30 mins in the morning and in the evening. Her AhMa also bought her some medician for her morning bath and “yellowKi” to put besides her pillow, said it will helps to reduce the Jaundice.

Finally….. mama had a better sleep yesterday night. Mama had very poor sleep before yesterday, only slept for ~3hrs every night. I am not sure the reason of the poor sleep, but guess you play the part

Yes, my little princess have chosen Nov 18th 2008 to see mama and papa !!!!!

“Mama and papa, so happy to see you !! o…. no wonder why you keep calling me TuaPui bb…..coz I have TuaPui mama and FatFat papa :P. But… I am not so TuaPui lah… only 3.15kg. I am sure you love my chubby face …..

“Hmm… I am always so hungry, so sleepy and like to poopoo. Good night mama and papa”

Almost Week 38 now….. some babies arrive at this week…. some babies decided to arrive later on Week 39 or Week 40…..

“Bb… papa have choosen a good date for you - Nov 21st  …. hahahaha….So, listen to papa, ya… come out after another 4 days, okay?” ….

I went for check up on last Friday. Naughty bb used her hand to hide her face again This is the 3D scan taken on last visit. Not very clear… but can see some of her face features…. … hahaha… she is really a tua pui bb….

She still have enough room for her to move & turn around and amniotic water level still enough for good blood circulation.

My weight gain is tremendous now. Already 64kg++, means have gained a total of ~13kg++.
- 2nd trimester = gained ~1kg per month
- 3rd trimester = gained ~1kg per 2 weeks
- Week 36++ = gained ~1kg for 10 days.

I feel more tired now and need a lot of rest and sleep. Both my foot and hands can feel numb and pain. Poor Hup have to massage for me before sleep. Good news is, hehe… I have started my maternity leave since today onwards. So, I can have lazy days at home and just waiting for bb’s arrival

Just another 1 day before my bb hits full term (week 37th onwards considered full term..)

I keep telling my bb…. “Bb… time to come out… :P”…. But Hup always responses with “No !!!”….. hahahaha….. It is because the confinement lady still taking care of others new born baby which was delivered on Oct 21st. Means, no one will take care of me and my bb if I have early delivery :P

I went for checkup on this wednesday. As usual, bb is active and everything is okay. FINALLY…. I saw my baby’s face through the 3D scan …. hahaha…. hmm… she is so chubby, and seems like she looks like me …. hehe…she is really a “Tua Pui” bb.. ….

While for me, my foot finally gave up and I can feel the pain during walk. Somehow, both of my hands also feel a bit numb and pain since few days ago. Probably caused by poor blood circulation. I am getting tired more easily and always wake up at night. I am having more constipation and really have to eat more fruits (especially banana) everyday. But in terms of overall, I still consider myself to be lucky as all my sysmptoms are considered minor and I can still work, walk, go out as usual

Mama’s weight = ~63kg (a total weight gain of ~12kg++)
Mama’s waist line = 40 inches (a total increase of ~14 inches)
Bb’s weight = ~2.5kg

Minnie loves my big tummy !!

I am a TuaPui Mama… carrying a TuaPui bb….

Now is 5am.

Yupe, it is about time to hear the ice scream ring tone from my Indian neighbour. Usually they woke up to pray at this hour. Their whole family is very friendly. Sometimes they burnt something that really smelly during their daily praying, but it is okay… we just have to give and take

I has been awake for ~1.5hrs. Both Hup and bb are sleeping like pigs now ….. My bb did wake up for a while just now but get back into sleep again very quickly. She was so active these few days, keep having fun with herself under the protection of mama.

I will be seeing her again in about 4hrs later, through ultra-sound scan in regular check up. We are so excited that we will be seeing our little princess in 2 to 3 weeks time. My tummy is getting bigger and bigger, like carrying a big pumpkin. Many of my collegues asked why I still working. Hahaha…. I also hope that I can stop working now and relaxing at home. Just I don’t want to waste my 1 month maternity if my baby decided to only see the world on week 40. Now is my week 36 and hope to see my baby on my week 38.

Bb…..bb….. time to come out after 2 weeks…. ya……. I know you feel so comfortable staying in mama’s water bag with full protection. And, there is a big wall for you to kick and push around when you are having fun, guess you really enjoying yourself when tickling mama with your powerful push and kick, ya?

But you know, it is so tiring to carry you around for 24hrs a day. Mama has been doing a good job to protect you for ~9 months, it is time to pass this responsibility to your papa…. hehe…. :P  Papa has been doing a good job too in taking good care of mama, but we will make papa to do more work, okay? We will ask papa to feed you at night, change diapers for you, clean up the buttock for you when you pass motion…. okay? It is a deal between you and mama, ya?

Okay…. now is almost 6am. Time for mama to catch some sleep before our appointment. Else, you will see mama with panda eye later. See you later…. my dear

Huh……we have spent ~42 man hours for spring cleaning and yet…. still have plenty of works to do ….. Err…. just partial done on Store, Kitchen and have yet started the cleaning on study room …

Tired….. tired….. tired…….

We spent a lot of time in tidying up the store. We opened up all the boxes….. throw unused stuff…. re-consolidate into boxes. It is not done yet and guess we need another session to get it done

Tired……tired…..tired…….
