Meet Baby Dy

2010-09-13T23:50:00.001+08:00

It has been a long long time that I update my blog. Reason being I was too busy with work and my pregnancy.

Finally, I popped Baby Dy! Here is a glance of my handsome baby boy...

Pain!

2010-07-22T16:48:00.001+08:00

I was scheduled for glucose test today.

Fasted from 12am. Reached clinic at 9.30am to extract the first tube of blood. Then, I was told to take a big cup of super sugary drink that make me feel sick.

Next hour, another tube of blood was taken. The classic part, the nurse commented that my blood was very red and she suspected that I might be suffering from anemia!

Hai, feedback was given to doctor and he gave instruction for an extra tube of blood to be taken so as to test my level of red blood cells.

So, the next hour, instead of one last tube of blood for the glucose test, two tube was taken instead.

The results, 2 needle holes on each hand!

Finally had my first drink at 12pm and lunch with Mr around 1pm. Now, I'm home resting on bed sipping red dates longan drink brewed awhile ago.

My new KPI for this month, earn back my red blood cells!

Sucky Weekend

2010-07-12T11:36:00.000+08:00

I had a huge quarrel with Mr on last Friday evening and the uptight tension stretched to the whole weekend.

Even now, I still think that we have not really mentally put down the issues to resolve it. Either I'm getting too emotional because I'm in my third trimester or Mr is just getting too stress-up over his work that he is bringing the stress home again.

Bad time but decision has to be made. Am I so wrong to think far for the family? Saving Baby Dy's cord blood can sum up to an amount but it is a security for the whole family. I personally think that it is a money well spent situation.

But Mr is so worry about finance uptight that he is so against it. Sometimes, I really think that I married an old man in his 70's. He is so insercure that he rather stack up all his money at home so that he can see, smell and feel it to have a sense of security.

Anyway, all I can say is that I am feeling tired of planning and thinking for everyone around me as they are taking me for granted. Please people, I am human too. I have my down times and I need to receive TLC too!

My Never Ending Stress

2010-07-09T16:14:00.001+08:00

I'm in my weeks 30 today! What a journey this has been. 10 more weeks and I will be hugging Baby Dy in my arms.

Last night was the best night sleep I ever had since last week's saga. Workloads at work are getting heavier as I need to cover an exited staff duty till a new replacement is employed. And in a week more, on top of my current workloads, I need to cover another staff's duty when she goes on her New Zealand holiday.

Can someone please teach me how to handle so much stress when you are going to be 8 month pregnant by end of July?

I still have some unfinished washing to be done for Baby Dy. And Mr is suppose to clean Baby Dy's cot before I can set it up for Baby Dy's arrival.

I'm feeling heavier day by day which I know it's very normal and I shouldn't be complaining at all. But mentally (you can call me emo) I felt rather helpless in my day to day duties. Having to keep track of everything around me if not the fear will just kick in as if something will definately go wrong. How I wish I could just put up my legs and rest my mind on everything while waiting for Baby Dy's arrival. Just someone, an angel, anyone, please lend me a helping hand!

Sour from my Heart

2010-07-06T10:52:00.001+08:00

As some may know, it has been very eventful for me last week. Mr was hospitalised last week due to dengue fever. Please don't ask me where he got attacked because we also do not know how to answer that question.

Stepping into third trimester is really not fun. I can feel it all. The tiriness, slow movement gear engaged, midnight pee and the bad night sleeps. you name it, I got it. What's more, I got to take care of Mr when he is sick.

Something came to my mind in the mid of buzzing in and out of hospital last week, something sad. For the whole week, my mum did not bother to call and ask if I am fine knowing that Mr was in hospital. On the other hand, Dad called and sent his regards daily. He smsed to remind me to take care of myself and tried not to go hospital too much as I'm expecting, asked me to update him on Mr's conditions etc.

It really firm up my thoughts that my mum is taking me more like a money milking machine. All she bothers to remember is wheather I handed her the monthly allowance on time with the right amount. This sadness really drip down my heart and make me feel so bitter inside for days.

And guess what, she finally called after the saga. When Mr is discharged and resting from home after a week! I really couldn't speak to her with a right mind at that point. I know I sounded cold and rude but I seriously do not know how to face her on top of all my tiriness and bitteriness.

I do feel that I am drawing further away from her and can never try to understand her. Maybe, I am just too tired because I tried too much for many years...

Mr down with Dengue Fever

2010-07-02T14:46:00.002+08:00

It has been a tiring week for me as Mr was down with a viral fever since last Saturaday. On Tuesday, he was diagnosed with dengue fever and got admitted into SGH.

I'm at peace for now as Mr's platelets has been showing good sign of increasing and doctor mentioned that once it crosses index 100, he can be discharged to rest at home.

I pray hard that tomorrow will be the day that he will be discharged for good.

I'm feeling tired from all the running but Baby Dy has been very good to give me good kicking to tell mummy that he is fine. Baby Dy is week 29 today and I believe he is doing good and blessing Daddy.

Week 28 of Joy and Happiness

2010-06-25T11:00:00.001+08:00

Today is day one of my week 28. As of yesterday, Baby Dy was 1.026kg and he is kicking my whole disgestive system upward which caused me to experience gastric reflux since Monday. On top of that, my midnight pee break is back. Tell me about saying bye-bye to my honeymoon period for 2nd trimester.

Dr Fong was pretty happy with Baby Dy's weight. As for me, I managed to hit the strict target of controlling my weight! haha.

After the appointment with Dr Fong, Mr and I went down to Singapore Expo for the Robinson Expo Sales. We got to stock up some clothes for Baby Dy as he will be reporting to infantcare around 2.5 month old. It really break my heart abit that none of the older folks (you know who I'm referring to) are willing to take care of him.

Anyway, back to my shopping, I managed to get some super good buy for Mr and Baby Dy. After shopping, my hungry Mr was acting like he is the one who is pregnant, demanded for steamboat buffet for dinner. And we headed down to Punggol end for his all-time favourite buffet.

That's my day yesterday.

As for today, my morning at work was kind of busy as I was missing in action since Wednesday. Resting at home is really a super ideal task for a pregnant me *haha*.

My Meaningful Monday

2010-06-21T18:55:00.001+08:00

It's a tiring day for me and Mr. We were out viewing at infantcare centres and interviewing a nanny around our area. Finally in the early afternoon, Mr and I decided and confirmed Baby Dy enrolement in a centre near Serangoon MRT!

In between our busy buzzing around, we managed to buy some nice education books and flash cards for Baby Dy too.

We had a tired but fruitful day as we finally crossed out a big item from our to-do list for Baby Dy's arrival.

Next stop, this Thur, we will be seeing Baby Dy again to dertermine how much he has grown. After that, it will more shopping at Robinson Expo Sale on that day! Yeah!

A Sudden Incident

2010-06-14T15:47:00.000+08:00

A friend just informed me about something nasty she did to herself which subsequent cause her to be in the hospital now.

I hope she really learnt her lesson and treat herself better. Afterall, the baby is innocent. So much so on this incident. I know that she is guilty over her action.

It is a scary news to me too. As I know how bad it is to not be feeling the fetal movement in you for almost two freaking days. I wouldn't complain about Baby Dy kicking me now...

Dessert Saturaday!

2010-06-12T19:57:00.001+08:00

Crazing for dessert and we headed down to Serangoon Garden after googling about this dessert place called Dessert Bowl! We are so going to be going back there again! Nice!

Rotten Family Tree

2010-06-09T16:20:00.000+08:00

I know I should let go of this anger long time ago. But till now, I seriously cannot imagine that my mother-in-law can reject taking care of her one and only grandson (at the very moment) with the reason that my father-in-law is old and he needs to be taken care of.

For you greatest information, my father-in-law is still having an abled body and working. But, being a SUPER (x100) MCP man, he would demand to have dinner at 6pm even if the rest of the family members are still on the way home from work or school (some kind of family education). Can never wait for food to be served and super no patience. No to mention. super boastful about everything despite he got the facts wrong, he can still go about singing about it for a long long time.

As for my mum, she is no where better. All she thinks about is money. I really wonder if I'm really her daughter now. So super old school who keep saying that what I'm bearing is an 'outside' grandson so it is my in-law responsiblity to care and worry about the baby.

When I told her I'm going to get Baby Dy an anklet, she looked at me and said that I shouldn't be buying it. My in-law are suppose to get it and bless Baby Dy with it.

Can someone please save me and Baby Dy from all these old schooled, selfish grandparents?

I really feel so angry that I don't even want Baby Dy to acknowledge any of them. What a sad and rotten family tree Baby Dy is going to have...

Tired Monday Morning

2010-06-07T10:38:00.000+08:00

Week 25 and 3 days. I am still counting down to 'D' day. Went to catch up on lots of shopping over the weekend. But I still got quite a number of things not bought yet!

Currently, started on my washing mode to wash Baby Dy's wears and accessories. Cleared 2 bags of washing and more to come. WHEN CAN I FINALLY REST LIKE I REALLY DESERVE IT!

Starting my pre-natal course at Mt Alvernia this Friday. I was told to be prepared that the first lesson is going to be super duper dry and boring. What a way to start feeling all excited about it.

Today, I received a sad news. Someone close to me at work who was finally expecting after trying to have a bundle of joy for a long time might be in critical condition of losing the baby. I pray that she and her baby will be fine and be strong to fight this war.

Time for a Break!

2010-06-03T15:21:00.000+08:00

I'm finally back at my own clean lovely desk cleaning up all my back logs. So happy!

Feeling so tired now. How I wish the clock will just tick faster so that I can be home to lay on my comfortable bed soon.

Tomorrow, I'm going to Singapore Expo to hit the Motherhood Baby Fair. My last big bang shopping for Baby Dy before I start my washing routine on all his clothes and things. Trust me, Mr has been feeling heartache for a long time because he has to witness all his hard earned money being spent on his yet-to-come son without complaining!

Yesterday, I popped a question (more like a request...haha) to Mr. I asked him if I could reserve a 'single' bedroom ward at Mt Alvernia. He stared at me with a pair of big scared eyes and started to mumble something and asked me how much is it going to be, show him the figures etc.

I'm so disappointed. Anyway, he is more practical about money. But, for me, I'm scared to be alone when the pain start kicking in! (It's my first time, ok!). All I can say is, I will wait for the right time to ask him again.

Super Bad Week Ahead

2010-05-31T20:59:00.001+08:00

I had a super bad day at work today. As a colleague was on urgent leave, I need to support four bosses today.

With the upcoming 'round the world' trip that my boss is going, I really am working up to my neck!

Three more day to go before my nightmares will be behind me!

For Baby Dyllan

2010-05-30T20:19:00.001+08:00

Daddy and mummy bought nice gifts for baby Dy over the weekend! More shopping on the way for this coming Friday!

My Heart is Grey

2010-05-25T11:11:00.000+08:00

I spotted something that I shouldn't.
Never have I expect you to hold onto it still.
I am so disappointed and angry that you are still not guilty after I have forgive you so many time.
I am not sure now if I still have the capacity to forgive you once again...

Carefree Weekend

2010-05-24T10:25:00.000+08:00

I should say I have a rather carefree weekend.

Saturaday morning, Mr and I had a on-the-go Macdonald burger breakfast while driving to Dr Fong's clinic to see Baby Dy. We went home after getting all my supplements from GNC.
Lazed around the whole afternoon when Mr went out to work. Pulled myself off the bed to cook dinner before he is home.

Menu:
Cabbage mushroom soup
Steamed prawns with egg
Pan-fried fish nuggets

I know it is a very simple spread. What do you expect from a pregnant chef, right? But most importantly, Mr likes it! My steamed prawns was a great success.

Sunday, Mr promised to bring me to Ikea for my favourite breakfast. And we reached the place like 9.30am! Wah... the queue was already building up by then! We shared the corissant set, mee goreng and a small plate of jui kueh! *nice!*

Headed home and finished up my "Ghost Whisper Seasson 4" in the whole afternoon when Mr went out to work. Mr was home around 5pm and we headed out for dinner at Junction 8 foodcourt. Oh! the western food stall's Cajun Chicken Set was not bad... But Mr was complaining that it is too expensive... haha.

That's my slow going weekend. But my next weekend is near too because I took leave on Thursday and will be heading to a nice and simple chalet outing with Mr and our friends! Yeah!

Updates for Week 23 Checkup

2010-05-22T11:49:00.001+08:00

I'm home from doctor appointment to see Baby Dy!
Bad news, I have put on a whopping 4kg for this month. Not so ideal because I'm suppose to only put on not more than 2.5kg!
Good news, Baby Dy is at a very healthy weight of 662g.
Doctor had given me strict instruction to cut down on carbo and my weight quota for next month visit can only increase by 2kg! Mr already felt this is a mission impossible for me the minute we board the car home *idiot*

Awaiting Peace in Bangkok

2010-05-20T13:24:00.000+08:00

Been keeping my promise quite well right? I did post some boring photo and entries on my day to day life.

To sum up why I'm late for work. There was a massive traffic jam on the flyover from Upper Serangoon road due to an overturned van along the exit point of the flyover. It was raining at that point too. I hope the driver is fine.

Understand from the news that Bangkok Red Shirt people went to burn down Central World. I seriously don't know what is in their mind. Done so much and get no returns. What is the point of creating so much chaos? Just because of all these chaos, I cannot go back to Bangkok to pray and thanks the 4 faced buddha for blessing me with baby Dy. We planned to do that before I popped Baby Dy in Sep this year. But now, it seen like we need to bring baby Dy along for our next trip to Bangkok, hopefully it will happen next year.

For now, I can only be obedient and stay in Singapore for all the joy, happiness and fun I can find here.

*PEACE*

Look at my baby bump!

Ah Choo!

2010-05-19T09:46:00.002+08:00

My eyes are teary. Nose is watery. All thanks to Mr for snatching the blanket from me for the past few nights. *idiot* I just had a marathon run of ah-chooing for over 20 times at my desk.

I think I'm really down with a cold. How I wish I can just drop everything at work and go home to sleep now. Popped a yellow flu pill (certified safe for pregnant me to take)and hope it will chase the bugs away soon.

Tiny updates

2010-05-18T15:45:00.000+08:00

After many thoughts, I decided that I should go back to blogging again. I really need an avenue to let go of my emotions before I go mentally unstable due to lot of factors.

Some updates about me:
- I'm 22 weeks 4 days on my pregnancy journey today.
- I'm expecting a boy and Mr and I have decided on his name - "Dyllan" aka Baby Dy
- My expected delivery date is 19 Sep 10. But everyone says first born will be earlier.

Ok, this post is so dried. I'm too tired to spice it up with more information. I will try again on my next post.

In the meantime, I have posted a week 19 photo of Baby Dy below for everyone to enjoy.

Ciao!

@ 12.07pm
I have totally give my spiderweb infected blog site a good clean up with a fresh look.
I'm off for lunch and promise to fill this site up further with more entries and hopefully pictures (If I can find any) when I'm back.
Ciao~

@2.50pm
Ok... I am trying so hard for the past one hour trying to get an iphone application to sync with the photo uploading function with my blog. Finally, did a silly move (cos I lost my patience in testing out FREE applications) and paid US$1.99 for one just to fulfill my need. Back to testing it.

Here, I am to tell you all that I am 12 weeks 5 days pregrant!After all the silence, finally I can get it off my chest.

This angels was a miracle as it was conceived without medication and jabs! Thank you all for your blessing and I wish baby will grow healthily and be a happy little angel when it finally can meet the world in September.
