3 Jul 2010Exactly a year ago today, we had the pleasant surprise that God has blessed us with this gift ♥ I was a 5mm tiny Embryo then Today, I have multiplied into a giant! Don’t you agree that time grew wings? It’s July! A year ago, I was an expecting Mother and today I am already [...]
At approximately 4.07am this morning, I was shot awake with a bad cramp in my belly. I’ve not been able to go back to sleep because the pain returns every 10 minutes or so. It is now 9.34am *yawn* Could this be the real deal or a false alarm? The contractions are similar to that [...]
Last night I gave the husband and myself a fright after an unexpected headache appeared out of nowhere just before sleeping time. We were happily exploring like kampung kids the mobile internet features on our identical Sony Ericsson when the sudden pain surprised me. Remembering what the staff at Dr Tan’s clinic told us — [...]
During our last antenatal appointment, my BP somehow shot a bit higher than normal with a reading of 130/80. I’m still wondering how it got so high since I was seated the whole time waiting for our turn *puzzled* Blood Pressure during Pregnancy By the 6th month of pregnancy, you will have produced an extra [...]

8 Feb 2010These may not be Glass Slippers But they could well be since I can’t fit them no more The swelling almost always goes down a little during morning time. They are at worst in the evening due to the burden of carrying me — 16kg of excess baggage — the whole day long, and also [...]

3 Feb 2010It is such a shame that I did not record when I first felt LBJ hiccuped. I think it was as early as when I first felt him moved. The feeling is very different from his aerobatic stunts, and are consistently in rhythm. Why do babies hiccups in the womb? Only the more mature fetuses [...]

3 Feb 2010Unfortunately, I suspect that’s exactly what you’ll be calling me because I will simply become one. Though I don’t mind being called Phat Mama, but reality is often bitterly cold *humph* Since September last year (16 weeks into my pregnancy), my weight has been going up, up and up *blaming it on the milk!* @#$%& [...]

2 Feb 2010Just like our 1st antenatal check-up months ago, today we waited a good 2 hours for Dr Tan because he had 2 deliveries back to back earlier at noon. The poor man didn’t get to have his lunch — until it was 4pm — after he had cleared all his morning appointments. Then immediately he [...]
