37 weeks

It has been ages since i last updated my pregnancy, so today i better jot something down before i forget everything.

At 37 weeks : -
- i have pain everywhere, the pain simply killing me and i do not know what is the best sleeping position is good for me, left side, right side or on my back? Actually none of them is perfect for me.
- baby's head is down, i guessed..because i have been feeling the pressure on my bladder and the frequency to loo is getting more and more.
- i can't see my belly button anymore, perhaps i am going to give birth soon!
- have been so tired, from head to toe.

I am yet to prepare my hospital bag, will try to do it tonight if both the boys can go to bed before 9pm, and if i don't fall asleep with them. Otherwise, will just do it tomorrow.

As for my confinement lady, sigh, she has given me a big "aeroplane", so now i am still hunting a new replacement! Wish me good luck!

When does the baby come out

I have very crazy mind lately that i hope i could give birth asap, i simply cannot wait till my duedate which is on 6/5. I have pain everywhere and i cannot stand it anymore, somemore i hardly get a nice sleep at night as every position just turns out a severe ache for me. I have never experienced such a body ache for my previous 2 pregnancies, but this time the pain simply killing me! Other than the body ache i am so tired too, perhaps i have not been sleeping well at night. Now i just hope everything can get back to normal in no time, sigh, pregnant is really not an easy task after you over your 30 years old.

30 weeks

Time flies, another 10 weeks to go!

weight - 72kg (using own scale)

At 30 weeks : -
- Has been coughing since last Thursday (19/2), cough badly at night especially when i am sleeping. But seems like normal during daytime.
- Left eye infection, got it yesterday night. I went to the government hospital (opposite my house) this morning, paid RMB30 for the scan and the medicine. The consultation fee was pretty cheap but i wonder the medicine safe for my baby?? Having said so, i still put the drops in my eyes just now. What to do because i didn't want to spread the germs to my boys.
- I cough still i can't control my bladder. This is more embarrassing part. I guess i need pelvic floor exercise to strengthen the muscle, sigh, i just can't imagine how loose "it" can be after delivery the third baby.
- Cramps hardly happened, perhaps i have been drinking a lot of soup, which the soup rich in calcium.
- No more swollen feet ever since i back to SZ.
- I love coffee and "nai-cha" (teh) more than milk. Barely take milk and never buy any tin of milk powder so far.
- Tummy, well, not so prominent yet!

I have been thinking to take pregnancy photos, of course the camera man will be my hubby, but till now he still has no time for me!

27 weeks

Everything has to back to normal now, and i have to adjust myself back to a mother's life. Sometimes i worry how to cope with a life with 3 kids, it's definitely tough and tired. I've ever had a very selfish thought to leave the baby to my mum so that i could concentrate my attention on Jo and Eli, but my heart was melt during my check up on Monday, the baby seemed so cute to me as i saw her blinking her eyes and sucking her thumb. At that moment, i knew something for sure that i won't leave the baby for anyone because i am her mother, her only one. Just very sudden i have loads of love toward the unborn baby. And today, i am in my 27 weeks of pregnancy. But according to the computer scan, my due will be on 30/4, a week earlier. I was told by the HK doctor too. So most probably i have to leave CN around end of March. Time flies, means i have to leave hubby and Jo next month. *sad*

I hardly blog about my pregnancy this time, perhaps my time has been taken up by the kids most of the time, hopefully everything will back to normal once Jo starts his school next Monday. I am simply a slacker!

At 27 weeks,
- Feel itchiness everywhere, especially those marks left by bra and panties. The itchiness mostly happens at night time, and feel no weird to see the red marks around my tummy.
- Cramps a lot recently although i take calcium twice a day.
- Backbone pain, right behind my left chest.
- Swollen feet, right foot seems more serious than left foot. The swollen started since 25/1.
- Pee a lot. Wonder where's the "water" came from.
- Tummy looks small. Nobody believes i am actually in 27 weeks, almost hits 7 months!

Luckily i do not need to hurry for my posts now ever since the bad economic strike, perhaps just a blessing in disguise. But sigh, income drops a lot! Thus, it's a time to SAVE.

23 Weeks

Today marks i am in 23 weeks in pregnancy. Actually i have nothing new to update as most of the symptoms are still same as previous week. However, i just wanted to chalk up something about my pregnancy.

Time flies, it is just hard to be believed i have actually gone through the half and another 17 weeks to go. Not really decided where to give birth to my baby, however, i have asked my mum to book a CL for me, at least situation won't be that chaos if i really give birth in Sabah.

At 23 weeks : -
- Back pain, yeah, still suffering it.
- Pee a lot as i always feel there's a press on my bladder.
- Baby moves a lot.
- Tummy size : 94.8cm
- Weight : 68kg (using own scale)
- Have porky thighs.
- Tummy tends to grow more to right side.
- Low tummy.
- Feel like throwing when i see fresh chicken and pork fleshes.
- Like sweet, spicy and sour.
- Like coffee.

I have not gone for my pregnancy check up after my last checking on 24/11/08, have planned to do one before i am going back to Sabah as i need a letter to board the plane.

I went to gynae's clinic on Monday (5/1/09) to get myself a pack of multivitamin. Pretty ridiculous as i have to pay the medicine prescription fee other than paying the multivitamin, and the prescription fee was even more expensive than the multivitamin itself. The prescription fee charged at HKD30 whereas the multivitamin just charged at HKD20.

22 weeks

Today is a New Year Eve and also a day that marks my 22 weeks in pregnancy. And, the most importantly is, today is my brother's wedding day too.

I am feeling a bit strange now, perhaps everyone is busying in my house for welcoming the couples back or perhaps load of joyous laughs and smiles there. I was so regretted that why i didn't buy my air ticket earlier, if only i acted fast, now i was there to enjoy the happiness moment together with my family, what's more he is my only brother. I sincerely wish my brother and SIL have a happy wedding ceremony and live happily ever after.

Back to my pregnancy, at 22 weeks :-
- Serious back pain
- Feel hungry all the time, but feel nausea after eating the food.
- Low tummy, first time experience with low tummy.
- Pimples everywhere.
- Can't squat.
- Can't turn side to side whenever i am laying flat on my back.
- Have urge to visit to loo most of the time though no urine at all.
- Love spicy food.

Actually no much different than my previous week. I am wondering when can all these over and give me back a normal-self. I know...after giving birth to my baby! Without doubt, my life will be more tougher with 3 kids around and i certainly will lost my sanity.

And, i had been told by few little kids that i am bearing a baby BOY now.

21 weeks

I better blog this when i still have mood to write.

Today, is a Christmas Eve, and also marks my 21 weeks in pregnancy. I was asked by one friend why i seldom mention about my little beanie in my blog, well, actually i did but just roughly. Really nothing much to blog about my pregnancy, it seems so near and yet so far.

At 21 weeks: -
- I found new formed of stretch marks around my waist, sigh, been using the expensive anti-stretch-mark oil for quite a while, but it still can't conquer the nature formed of stretch marks. *sigh*
- I can't squat, if i do so, the tummy stretching will come tense and will lead forming more ugly stretch marks.
- Have serious back pain, the area is just behind my left breast. So i can't sit long hour without support cushion.
- Cramps, normally happens after i take tea. Whatever kind of it, be it a Hong Kong styled milktea or "teh-o-ice-limau".
- Pimples, i hardly had pimples before i was pregnant, but now, those bulging pimples are obviously to be seen around my cheeks and forehead.
- I have urge to pee everytime and feel something funny in my bladder, like someone is tickling my bladder.
- I can't turn my body to left or right side if i laying flat on my back. The nerves around my right body are tight, if i turn against it, i will feel the cramps.

As for the gender, yet to reveal. I had a talk with hubby a couple of days ago, he still says he prefers to have another boy! Of course, i wish i will have a little princess.

20 weeks

Today, i am in my 20 weeks of pregnancy! Time flies, another 20 weeks to go...

Last Saturday, i kept browsing the BabyGap site crazily because i would like to order some pinkish clothes for my unborn baby, well, although i do not really confirm the baby's gender. But just have high confidence to think the baby is a girl and i sincerely hope i won't get disappointed later on. :)

Speaking to the BabyGap, i had picked up 8 clothes, and proceeded to checkout, but alas, i couldn't add my credit card as international credit card is not accepted by them although i would like them to send my orders to my friend who is staying in Texas. So off i email-ed my friend and asked her do me a favour by using her credit card. Luckily she managed to check the delivery charges before she really ordered for me, as sending by FedEx needs about $100 from Texas to Sabah, OMG...that's too expensive to just pay the postage. I think i better save the money and believe it is even more cheaper to buy them from Singapore...but who can do me a favour again?

This time, i can't take "teh" (奶茶) as i definitely will get cramps at night if i drink it. This is never happened in my previous 2 pregnancies although i had cramps most of the time, but the cramps not because the "teh", simply like depriving of calcium although i had taken enough dose of calcium. And, i'd feel nausea if i took something not really ideal to my taste buds.

19 weeks

Today marks my 19 weeks pregnant. Actually i couldn't remember the number of weeks till one of my friend asked me just now, so i have to check my "ticker" in order to confirm the weeks. I am lousy, i know, perhaps this is a third baby so i do not have such an exciting feel like the previous two pregnancies. Recently, i can feel the baby squirming around, and only now i can really feel myself actually i am pregnant. I had been forgetting and neglecting the unborn baby for quite a long while, as my days simply have been occupying by my 2 boys, what's more Eli always throws us a big fuss, so he has been the one who always needs our extra care. *tired*

Baby, mommy feels so sorry to you as mommy seldom pray for you, and also seldom talk and touch you intimately. But, one thing for sure is mommy still loves you very much. Although sometimes mommy had the bad thoughts, mommy still knows you're always a gift from GOD. Do let mommy knows your gender at next check up so that mommy can prepare something for you, okay? :)

Mommy will try best to stop drinking Coke and ice drinks, and will try best to eat something nutritional, mommy eats well you will eat well too. Hope next time you're an easy baby, and also a kid who loves every foods, just like your brother, Eli.

So unwell

I feel very unwell now, it's like there is something swirling my stomach and makes me wanna vomit. This actually happens everyday although i am now in my second trimester. I don't know what's wrong, i simply feel unwell either i'm full or hungry. Also, i have been getting very moody lately, keeps thinking negative and making everyone unhappy. I even told hubby last night "if i was given a chance again, i would like to be a single", sigh, i think i really need a rest, a good rest without someone disturbing me. Perhaps i just feel tiring to be cooped up at home everyday. :(

16 weeks pregnant

Today marks my 16 weeks pregnant, time flies and it secretly glided away before i knew it. I always feel like this time i do not have a big tummy, but actually it does look big and visible for others, just like last Friday when i was taking bus to Holiday Plaza, i was even given a seat by one of the passenger. Woo...so, i guessed i definitely looked like a pregnant woman. :-)

Have been dreaming a lot ever since i pregnant, bad one, good one, funny one, horrible one, actually you name it, i was probably had the dream before. Morning sickness, well, was already a history, now what i have is called "evening sickness" as i would feel extremely nausea when the evening comes. Although i can work with my wok again, i still feel the gag every time i look at those meat. But being a tough woman, i prefer to cook for my family instead of having the awesome meals that cooked by my maid.

I am almost due my routine pregnancy check up, in fact, have not made appointment with my gynae, be honestly, i am pretty lazy to go to HK for the checking, ironic, i know i still have to make the trip real.

Time flies

Wow, time really flies, i almost hit 4 months of pregnancy soon. Wow, the first three months have passed before i knew it. Sigh, this time i am really a slacker, and sometimes i even forget i am actually a pregnant woman. I think age is catching up with me, i am no longer as healthy as what i used to be and sometimes i feel guilty as i do not pray for my unborn baby, just unlike my previous two pregnancies.

Weather is getting colder, so it's a time for me to get ready my Winter maternity wear. The downstair neighbor was kind to lend me her maternity wears, but i didn't accept her lending. Better buy myself hence minimize the worry of dirtying people clothes.

Always want to eat, even during sleep

I have been dreaming a lot at night ever since i got pregnant, some dreams were terrible and shocked me awake, and some dreams were pretty funny that were related to foods. If i didn't get full stomach before i go to bed, then that particular night i would keep dreaming about "i am eating food", those foods mostly were Malaysia Hawker foods like Nasi Lemak, Claypot Chicken Rice, Wanton Mee, Hokkien Mee and whatnot. Emm...i guessed maybe my baby next time would be a baby who likes food very much, just like Eli. :)

Home Cook pasta

I have been eating this "not-so-good-looking" yet palatable pasta for 3 days, i added the instant pasta sauce and tuna (in water formed), the time taken for preparing and cooking were less than 15 minutes, so this plate of pasta is my recent favor. I can't stand the smell of either fresh or cooked onion as well as the smell of green and red pepper ever since i got pregnant, so i simply made myself a simple pasta without much add-on. And i felt absolutely satisfied by taking a cup of MILO after the pasta.

Worked with my wok again

Today, i was finally worked with my wok again after 3 months of withdrawing myself from cooking. The past 3 months (during my 1st trimester) were a nightmare for me, although i didn't suffer any serious or heavy morning sickness, the unwell stomach, tasteless mouth and tired body were really exhausted me a lot. Even though i am in my 2nd trimester now, actually i still suffer a minor morning sickness, just the suffering time is being shortened and usually it only happens around evening time. I keep my fingers crossed, and wonder when will i get back my normal self again. Hubby actually had been complaining a lot towards the foods cooked by the maid, imagine, the whole family had been eating the unsavory meals for 3 months, haha...maybe i am thankful that we are still survive. :-)

No reason

SIAN, SIAN, SIAN (BORED)...
Don't ask me why...
As i also don't know the reason...

Feel very uncomfortable, the mouth so tasteless, the stomach like never digest food, the tummy like never getting full, the body like so tiring, but...sleep also cannot, sit also cannot, stand also cannot, eat also cannot and drink also cannot...sigh, i really don't know what i can do now?!

A selfish mother

Pregnancy hormones have made me become a selfish mother. I ordered this rice (四宝饭) which has char-siew, siew yuk, roasted duck, chicken and salted egg last Wednesday, but i didn't share this yummy rice with my Jo. Jo has always loved to eat roasted duck meat, but i just so stingy for not letting him to share my "craving". After this yummy lunch, i ordered the same rice again the next day, i just loved the "siew yuk", but after taking this rice twice, the fancy buds left again. I feel shivering at seeing this picture now...overall speaking, i have different taste buds everyday..

A sick boy and a tired mommy

This week is National Day holidays in China, so means we have 7 days holidays. But sadly to say, we do not plan for any vacation. The mother (me) has been living like a dead fish everyday, has very poor appetite, hates to see rice, or maybe i can say hate to see everything. Just wish to take McD or KFC everyday, long for drinking coffee and cola too. I had been taking a lot of unhealthy fast foods lately, so did my Jo. And he finally down to fever due to taking too much of heaty foods. He started fever on Sunday morning, paraceptamol and suppository didn't help much, i did sponge him with cold towel, it just helped bringing down the temperature a bit but still considered a very hot fever. And i also did the folks method to him, apply the cold egg white and rubbed gently on his back and front, it actually didn't help much too. Sigh, i told hubby, if his fever still not subside by tonight, i will just bring him to have the drip in the local hospital. Hope he gets well soon, i really cannot take care a sick boy, i was just too exhausted, what's more we need to chop our passports, not later by tomorrow, otherwise we will get fined!

Blues...

2 is always enough for me, and i have never thought of having 3, that's why it has indeed taken many weeks for me to accept the truth. I know i sound pretty irresponsible, but honestly this is really not i was wanted. My mind, had been having many plans and suddenly all plans ruined, though i have to accept everything, in the meantime i still somehow very mind it. And, i am getting very nervous, been thinking negative, been complaining this and that, in short, i just feel so much burdens instead of having joy. The most importantly is i do not have confidence to take care of 3 kids by myself, the blues of having another baby just shrouded me a lot, and i still cannot relax myself even i have been receiving a lot of pep talks from friends.

GNC Folic Acid

This GNC Folic Acid is what i have been taking since last Thursday. Mr.KK brought it back from HK, it is HKD69.90 with 100 tablets. I take one tablet everyday, i do not take other supplements other than Folic Acid, unlike my previous pregnancy! What a lazy mother, maybe is not due to laziness but it is due to deprive of freshness!
