Proud Parents

6W1D

Feeling ~ over the clouds

mummy & daddy are so so proud of YOU because we are able to see YOU on the ultrasound machine....mummy & daddy are so happy which nearly brought mummy near to tears of cos out of happiness for certain.....

mummy hasn't been feeling well and decide to call in sick and went to see Dr Woody in the morning instead of the scheduled appt in the evening.

reached there at about 11am...clinic is rather packed....hand our card to the nurse and waited outside. Feeling rather sensitive today...feel the urge to puke due to the unwelcoming scent from a nearby auntie. To worsen the wait, weather is warm and PRC couple beside us talked at the top of their lungs....noise pollution...fainted!

mummy's name was called about 40mins later and as usual Dr Woody greeted us with the same opening infamous statement ~ How are you feeling today?

Dr Woody decide to proceed with a scan first which make mummy really nervous. Thanks God YOU are such a goody baby and made us proud for allowing us to see YOU almost immediately upon placement of the transducer.

Dr Woody called for daddy ~ Mr, would you like to take a look?

Daddy leaped immd with a YES!

Dr Woody told daddy about the waterbag w/o showing

Daddy got blur and pointed to the big circle on screen and asked is that the one?

Dr Woody asked about mummy's appetite which is definitely good and eating well.

mummy checked with Dr Woody if it's okay to have DOM but was advised against alcohol for the 1st 3 months. Mummy probe further on the review of today's checkup.

Dr Woody said that all look well & good and we should be able to identify the heartbeat next visit which is to be scheduled next week. He then gave medical leave for 2 days jokingly said can't decide for tomorrow, decide later then.

When asked about signing of the package, Dr Woody advised it depend on us, no difference, can sign up over the next visit too.

Mummy asked about YOUR 'age' and was told about 5.5 weeks to 6 weeks.

Thank you sweetie baby...we have marked another milestone into this wonderful journey and are super proud & blessed to have YOU as our baby.

Let's jiayou together and make us proud once again by showing YOUR super strong and healthy blinking heartbeat next week.....Love YOU!

Feeling ~ overwhelmed, emotional

mummy have been talking to YOU daily in the shower....have YOU heard mummy?

sat - mummy went to work in the morning and finish at about 11am+...while in the washroom....mummy noted a little pinkish discharge but mummy is confident that everything will be alright...called daddy when leaving office to have lunch together....

as the time is still early despite crawling at a speed of 60km/h...mummy decide to detour to the vegetables farms to grab some fresh vegetables as it has been a while. Mummy grab some spanish and xiao bai cai...not to forget some fresh mushrooms too....though it's a little costly but so long as it's beneficial for YOU.....worthwhile!

Mummy and daddy decide to make our way to Taman Jurong again but quite unfortunately Yong Tau Foo stall is closed.....we make our way to the Fish Soup at Level 2. Mummy decide to share the taste of Sliced Fish Ee Mee with YOU....tabao a cup of warm soya bean and tau huay for snack later. Told daddy that mummy wish to go back and rest.

Had a quick shower due to the super warm weather and daddy is such a nice man helping mummy to iron clothings....mummy fall asleep shortly. Woke up to pee about an hour later and KO-ed afterwhich. Mummy woke at 6pm suddenly realising that mummy have missed out the timing for our hormone pill thus quickly went to have it.

showered again....yet perspired once again after stepping out.....daddy woke up from his nap too and soon we set off to Uncle Rick's birthday party. We reached shortly after 8pm and noted a cutie shih tzu, copper....resisting the temptation to cuddle him but Auntie Angelyn carried him onto mummy's lap. Mummy reminded myself to wash my cars with soap before having steamboat for dinner. It was a tough dinner since the steamboat is slow to boil and before ensuring that the ingredients are fully cooked....they are fished out of the pot.....despite sitting there for a good 90mins....mummy isn't able to fill my tum tum but had to give way as there's another party waiting to have their dinner.....

mummy obediently asked for warm water instead of having soft drinks....a while later can't resist the temptation to have a small pack of Cheezels and a few cubes of papaya as no pienapples allowed yet unsure if papayas are okay. Birthday cake is from Awfully Chocolate and mummy is certain that YOU loved it as well as we have 2 servings but rather small servings.....moist & not too sweet chocolate though it will taste much better if the sponge is softer....mummy eye the lovely cupcakes that Auntie Jasmyn baked but give up the idea as too full for one. As we left for home at 12.30am...mummy tell daddy that we are hungry again....so we went to the coffeshop nearby for a 'fan choi'.....after a bath & not so tasty fan choi but suffice...mummy had a glass of 'ai xin' milk by daddy and rest for the night shortly.

Sun -mummy woke several times for the washroom but gladly return to bed afterwhich. Woke at 10.45am....washed up and watch Taiwan drama on SCV. Made ourselves a glass of milk to drown down a red bean bread at 12pm while decide what to cook for lunch. Decide to pend till daddy wake up.

Mummy was very disturbed with the strong stench of cigarette smoke in the living room....anger rose immediately. Daddy become the victim in this case for the whole afternoon. Mummy turn totally emotional and break down in front of daddy. What anger mummy more is daddy's 'ignorance' to the issue. So poor daddy is locked out of the room by mummy twice....hope that sweetie YOU will not be affected! Mummy is sorry but simply can't control my overwhelming emotion. Finally the brewing storm calmed when mummy feel too angry and don't wish to let YOU starve thus making my way to cook some noodles for us. Daddy assured mummy that he will worked things out soon.

After a hearty super late lunch done at 5pm, mummy watch some TV followed by doing some work on my lappie. Spent sometime subsequently surfing the forum and got to know more 'graduates' aunties. But mummy decide to let this little secret stayed between the 3 of us....daddy, YOU & me....kekeke

At 8pm...tum tum growl again for dinner and daddy is nice to pack dinner from us. We shared fried rice and hokkien mee but it wasn't very tasty.

mummy watched the charity show for China's Sichuan earthquake and tears flowed uncontrollably especial when they featured kiddies and mummies....the maternal instinct is too strong in me and mummy start to feel for them...what a totally emotional day for mummy. After the show went to the shower and while in the shower, mummy hold my tum tum and talked to YOU...heard mummy? Mummy wishes YOU to know that mummy & daddy love YOU very much, we feel so blessed to have YOU and will do our best to protect YOU. Mummy and daddy will countdown excitedly to YOUR arrival and to shower YOU with our endless love!

Feeling ~ sore, panicky

mummy has been having terribly sore nipples since 2 days ago.....heartbeat for almost 1 week, nauseous for more than a week...started drinking ANMUM for a few days.....frequent urge of urinating for the past few days especially waking in the middle of the night to empty my bladder....pardon mi but have been farting very frequently for the past week too.....

mummy is busy at work the whole of today in the office....uncertain if too much sitting causes a little bit of crampy feel at lower abdomen in the late afternoon....panicked for a good while....reminded myself that everything is gonna be fine & smooth.....believe & have faith in YOU....

we had Yong Tau Fu again for lunch to satisfy the craving for soup....munch a few Kueh Bulus to ease the hunger pang at 4+....after work rush off to pick daddy then whisked off for dinner....YOU tasted Fried Kay Tiao and Hokkien Mee (black version)...finished with a cup of milo......

mummy oso religiously remember to consume the hormone pills as instructed by Dr Woody for the sake of a healthy YOU....before long will be searching for munchies again....mummy bought some Rose Apples....we shall have one later....=)

CD39 DPO20

Feeling ~ worried (can't help it), confused & hysterical

mummy feeling nervous the whole day because we are visiting Dr Woody tonight...the 2 days wait appears like eternity....try to rest & sit as much as possible during work today...moving in slower motion...taking extra care in everything I do.....

pick daddy up after work and head straight to Lot 1 for dinner because mummy is super duper hungry and it's too early to drop in Dr Woody's clinic.....

mummy went into a terrible dilemma as the food I wish to eat doesn't appear healthy for baby...no baicai....no mayo...finally settled for curry chicken rice...

daddy is nice to have 'zhu za tang' to satisfy my craving for soup as usual....walked to the clinic after dinner....packed as usual...dig out card for registration....informed of waiting time to be estimated 30 - 45 mins.....

found a place to sit down to rest....super nervous....feeling very much uneasy for whatever reason not known....hands are icy cold....getting very restless....

finally mummy's name was called out....Dr Woody's opening statement as always "how are you feeling"....the moment mummy told him about the positive testing...Dr Woody ordered a scan immediately....the nervousness in mummy worsen...walking wobbly to the examination bed.....

Dr Woody told some time shifting the probe on mummy's tummy on various spots which make me more hysterical...then he said "mind if I scan from below" which mummy said okay too.....the same thing happen...probe shifted around in numerous positions but Dr Woody remain quiet....mummy was really scared.....

Result ~ sac can't be seen as yet possibly as it is too early but lining is observed to be thickening....was told of the option on hormone pills as well as injection (which is supposedly painful)...so far as mummy is concerned....protecting YOU is more important than anything else....thus mummy ask about the pros & cons....he explained that studies from KKH reveal that it helps to sustain the pregnancy with hormone pills.....

mummy rope Dr Woody in on more details of LMP, Ovulation Day & possible date of conception....mummy know it's very early to see him but rather be safe than sorry. He said it should be too early so we will observe next week on the progress and meanwhile to have lots of rest....given Duphaston 3 times a day....

double check on the package....he suggest to pay the full amount for this visit and when we are ready to sign the package then can use it to offset......

mummy walked out of clinic feeling rather depressed but mummy will remain in positive thinking mood....mummy believe that all will be fine....mummy trust & have faith that YOU will say hello to us next visit.....

Feeling ~ sweet as honey

Mummy started this blog to document the nitty gritty details proceeding to your arrival. When you are older, we will share these preciuos moments with you.

Daddy has been so sweet to mummy, mummy feeling very touched by his gestures.

Mummy is constantly craving for soup for every meal.

When mummy casually pass a remark over the coleslaw on mummy's plate, daddy immediately scoop everything into his plate without hesitation, knowing jolly well mummy will attempt to snatch a bite or two.

Daddy help mummy to carry handbag without breathing a single complain (before he does it as though carrying a bomb), even reprimanding mummy on the weight of handbag...=p

Mummy faithfully drink her cup of milk beneficial for your development which daddy prepared with love.

Goodnight sweetie!
