A lazy noon indeed complement with sunny yet windy weather..... ;)
Stay home cos Dar A fell sick.....He was down with diarrhoea and slight fever! ;( His diarrhoea started yest..... and this early morn he went to the loo again twrice.... *Sigh* Poor dtb!! ;{
Accompanied him to the clinic and the doc said most likely it's a case of food poisoning! ;{
Wonder wat caused the "damn food poisoning" oso??!! Cos for Wed & Thursday we had home cooked food for dinner from both our mums and everyone else were doing fine leh aft eating ...?!!
Hmmm dun kw oso lah... think partly he oso caught a flu aft his IPT on Wed's night... *Sigh*
Hope he will recover soon! ;} Now he's taking his nap aft taking his medicines.... so is tat fatty bum bum Nic!! ;p
Caught him 'sun-tanning' himself this morning!! ;) He luv the sun!! =)
Though a 'sun-lover' but still a 'nua-ing' bum bum!! =)
Well yest nite, I was sorting thru the 2 big bags of 2nd hand/passed down bb's clothings from Dar A's sister and SIL..... It was really a lot but I managed to "shortlist" few pcs...! Okay not few pcs lah but quite some pcs!!! =) Mostly those tat are still new and wearable one!! ;)
Tadah~~ :
Among these clothings, some are from GAP, Baby Pooh, Mothercare & even Precious Moments!! *LOL* ;D Including new mitten/booties, socks & shoes!!
So my dear baby really have lotsa clothings le!! But still short of a few essential pcs lah...like long sleeping pants etc... ;) *Satisfied*
Oh ya yest was feeling hungry again despite having a full dinner & an apple....so being the greedy me..I opened a packet of Kettle potato chips!! God!!! It was really very very crunchy and taste ultimately good!! :) *Highly recommended* Especially this BBQ flavour one! =)
Drooling yet unhealthy snack!! ;p
Anyway, yest received updates from this spree-er where I joined her spree for bb's GAP & Old Navy clothings which I featured previously one..... And her CC somehow got prob and not being approved by ON so it dragged quite sometimes b4 it was approved again..... So the point is... most of my orders are OOS orie lorrr!! ;( *Sian 1/2*
Soo sooo..... I ended up joining another spree held by a fellow dame from the Motherhood's forum... ;) But I just got another 2 pcs of rompers only... =)
Kiasu me... Got this romper in size 12-18M one!! ;p
This pc in 6-12M one... =)
On top of that, I oso joined another spree for Kiddopotamus items!! At a cheaper price compared to outside dept stores... ;)
SwaddleMe blanket
BeddieBye Zip around safety blanket
Cushioned car seat strap covers
Pretty pleased with my online purchases!! :D
Oh and I worn my new sandals out!! =)
Love it!! Plus it's comfy!! ;)
No outfit & cam-whore pics this time round.... ("_")
Aft which we went to Bugis, "Si Ma Lu" the temple there to pray.... ;)
Before that, we had our late lunch at "Qi Ji" cafe..... cos I was craving for their popiah and laksa!! ;) It's been ages since I've been wanting to eat laksa ever since preggie but I just endure lor....But now can't tahan le!!! ;p *Must Eat* Haaa....... anyway it's an indulgence cos I possibly wun be eating laksa every other day wat....so just another sinful feast!! ;p *Oops*
A sinful yet yummy meal! ;p
While walking back to Bugis Junction, I saw this push cart selling bb's clothings etc and those rompers are selling 3 for $10!! So as u predict......... of cos this kiasu & shopaholic mtb can't possibly 'skipped' this offer!! ;p
3 for $10 rompers!! ;} *Good bargain* (U kw aft that, I saw at BHG dept store, they are selling this similar rompers at 2 for $6.90!)
I got to admit I'm so "into" rompers and bodysuits!! I love bbs in these 1 pc clothing!!! =) Haaa I'm so crazy over it.... ;p Anyway for rompers or 1 pc suits, I got them in bigger sizes, ranging from 3-6M, 6-12M and 12M above one!! For newborn, I think it's better to let them wear buttons front or tie-front styles pcs instead of rompers cos their neck/head still fragile and not as strong yet.... That's wat I learnt and heard from......... ;)
As mentioned in my earlier post, I'm back again at BHG kid's dept for their bb's clothings!!! Enuff said, here's the purchases..... =)
Yesss 1 pc suit AGAIN!! ;p My fav got to be the Minnie Mouse polo romper!!! 
Sleeping sack, swaddle blanket and a tummy binder.....Aft that, we left Bugis and headed back to CWP for dinner and more shopping as USUAL! ;}
Had Yoshinoya & bubble tea drink for dinner :D
Then off to Mothercare and KP!! =)
Mothercare is having sales and I managed to purchase the 2 comp washing basin, Avent washable breastpads and 3pc bibs... ;)
From Kiddy Palace:
Think I still need another box of nappy liners....... Guess 20pcs of nappy cloths shld be enuff bah... ;} And I better start washing bb's clothings and stuffs.... =)
And oh ya, Dar A purchased this laptop's holder which we saw previously from newspaper's advert........and I find it quite useful & interesting! =)
It costs bout $99.00..... Not cheap oso!
Other than for laptop, can be used for other reading purposes etc... ;)
Nic busy exploring the newest 'toy' in-house! ;}
Here's wat I had for dinner yest:
Mum's home-cooked healthy meal! ;} (The brown-black dish on the right side is actually soya sauced chicken and diced potatoes... ;p)
Okay swimming today and hope weather be good!! =)
My attire... Jersey knit one pc dress... Stretchy & comfy!! ;)
As usual cam-whore in car.... ;p
As we din took our lunch & I was feeling v.hungry despite munching a muesli bar earlier.... so we decided to have our early dinner @ this HK cafe at the basement of Taka... ;}
We had their recommended 'zhu chang fen', carrot cake, spicy chicken wings, chicken shop baked rice, Mango sago with beancurd & Ice milk tea! ;D Satisfying but I'm not full yet.... *LOL*
Looking pleased aft 'stuffing' my stomach with food! ;)
Aft dining, we went over to Wisma 1st cos I wanted to go to Cotton On to get some shorts & leggings!! (Yesss Cotton On again...;p) Initial Dar A was so hesitant to let me shop @ Cotton On cos it's always crowded & jam-packed there & he worry that I might get 'pushed' ard.....and getting hurt! Tats so sweet of him!! ;) But I assured him I will be careful and watchful one..... then he reluctantly gave in to my sweet-talkness!! ;) *Grin*
Anyway managed to get 3 colourful shorts cos the home shorts I'm wearing no sooner I'm gonna "out-grown" them... ;{ So I need more bigger shorts to accomodate my growing belly and butt!! ;p Okay my purchases from Cotton On:
Freaking cheap $10 knitted cropped cardi!!
Colourful shorts and leggings! :) Too bad can't find sizes for the black leggings.. Well...
Passed by PrettyFit and they are having Sales......!! So 'naturally' dragged Dar A to the shop... ;) And........... I bot a pretty pair of sandals @ $31.90 aft discount!! *Happy*
Nice & good purchase isn't it?! ;p (Gonna wear them out soon!)
We went over to Gap store to look at their babies section for clothes..... and the prices are soo much higher than wat I paid for online! For e.g, a romper which costs S$25.00 at the store can actually be purchased for bout S$10++ with shipping online! ;} Of cos oso have to depend on the design and stock availability.... But guess online shopping is still much more reasonable & affordable! Only downside is the waiting time........ But I dun mind the wait actually if I can save so much more and buy even more!! ;p *LOL* So I shall buy BabyGap & Old Navy's clothings online gng forward.......... =) *Dar A pls dun stop me if u are reading this post* ;p Haaa.....
Aft which, went back over to Taka's kids and babies dept and saw that they have more range of the Pigeon's BPA bottles.....and those girly & lacy headbands etc.... Ohhh they are making me so excited again!! ;p But as we are waiting for the Taka's vouchers to reach us, so I just ended up buying more rompers for bb precious instead!! ;p
More rompers pls!!! ;p (Oh the 2pc pack is the sleeping bodysuits I got from First Few Years)
I'm very kiasu lor.... For the rompers, I got them in size 12-18mths one....!! =) Cos guess at the moment I shld ve purchased sufficient pcs for 0-3mths & 6-12mths one le... so hence getting more rompers in bigger sizes one are somehow more wiser!! ;) Gosh buying clothings is soo addictive!! ;p *How to resist!*
Having done over at Taka... out next stop is Paragon- Aussino! ;)
The store @ Paragon one is definitely much bigger than the CWP's outlet....And we managed to get the comforter bedding set, a jersey blanket, and 2 extra jersey fitted bedding sheets! =)
Bb's bedding set! :D
Too bad the choices are somehow limited.... perhaps nicer stocks are all taken up!! Hence we settled for the yellow Bear & horsie set.. ;}
Initially wanted to get the swaddling blankets from the First Few Years... but as it was quite costly so I decided to browse ard more b4 purchasing........ But guess their material is somehow better and softer to touch leh.... Haiz.... okay shall see how!!!
Tml-Tuesday I'm going for my routine gynae's checkup and hopefully everything went well for bb and mummy!! ;) Can't wait to see our precious girl again... ;D
Oh and as of to-date I only gained bout 4kg at my 22wk..... wonder is it too little anot..?? Hmmm nvm.... dun let my thoughts run wild again... ;p Guess as long as bb is growing well and healthy can le!! =)
Okay off to have my dinner now!! ;D
Nice attempt!! Delicious & healthy black pepper chicken fillets! :)
Friday, 20th June- Prepared toasted waffles for tea-break's snack and had an additonal muesli bar b4 heading to Chinatown. ;)
Freshly toasted waffles!
Greedy Nic as usual!
As I need to get my Biotherm's cleanser and toner from Ocean store plus other daily neccessities.... hence making a trip down is indeed a must for me.... though Dar A wasn't really keen on gng all the way to Chinatown to get my stuffs... ;p But still he's managed to be persuaded by the nagging ME! ;p *Grin*Cos other than buying my own stuffs, I wanna make a trip down to the 'famous' Cheong Choon store at Upper Cross street to look at their range of baby's stuffs & products.... =)
Think my outfits are getting sooo bore nowadays....either leggings, capri pants, or dresses... ;{
Again...Mummy vainpot cam-whoring in car... ;p
Baby bump @ 21wk5day! ;)
Ok upon reaching there, we decided to search for this CC store 1st.... and blamed it on my bad memory that I had actually forgotten the exact shop's unit no.... and I rem in the forum that some ladies did mentioned it's located at the "Pple Park Complex.... " so we went searching from being excited to getting pissed off........ ;\ Cos we could not find the store at all and we searched 3 malls for it!!! From Pple Park complex to People Park Center to People Park(block) itself! *Faint* ;( Was orie so hungry and tired plus failed attempt to find it make things worse! *Double sian-ness* So........... WE GAVE UP! ;{
Wat to do..... can't possibly be wasting time searching for it cos I was orie so hungry le and it's bout 7pm plus le... so I just went over to Ocean store to get my needed stuffs...... aft which to get disposable panties, few pyjamas sets & baby's towels & handkerchiefs etc..... and we are done over at Chinatown. ;} At least I still managed to get my stuffs and not wasting this trip specially at Chinatown...! Haiz...
As Dar A wasn't keen to dine at Pple Park and the food dun appeal to me oso.... we headed to Bugis Junction for our dinner..... ;)
Luckily managed to find a parking space fast though initially the queue to the carpark was so long and slow...
We settled our dinner at Hip Diners restaurant and enuff said.....here's wat we ate... ;D
Puffed pastry chicken soup, baked potatoes and the grilled mixed set!
Well tat's not enuff for a '3-person' feast.... ;p but thought we can still browse at those outside stores for more yummy food.... ;p (But....... alamak aft we shopped at BHG, most of the food stores closed liao... ;\ )
Oh ya.... one of the waitress even asked/offered me if I wanna change to a 3-4 person seater aft I settled down on their 2-person seater table.... How sweet is that!! :) Guess she saw my bulging belly and my 'growing' butt that the seat can hardly accomodate me!! ;p
After dinner, we went to BHG's children dept for more bb's shopping! And there are sooo sooo many pretty & cute clothings that I wanna 'grab' for bb precious but as time was limited cos they are closing soon, I only managed to grab few stuffs & necessities.... ; Will continue my shopping here next Tues aft my gynae's check up!! =) *Can't wait....*
Ok b4 ending this entry, here's our loots for the day except for my stuffs from Ocean store and disposable panties not being featured here... ;)
More story books & educational books for precious bb.. ;D
Bb's towels, more handkerchiefs & my pyjamas sets for my confinement period.... ;)
Stuffs from BHG!
It's Sat and we are stucked at home, din go out cos dun wanna get stucked and jam-ed with pple in the mall.... ;p But probably gng down to Taka tml if Dar A & I are not lazy! ;)
And I'm counting down to coming Tuesday for my gynae's routine check-up! Ohhh can't wait to see our dear bb girl again....! And hope she's growing well and of acceptable weight! ;D
Monday, 16th June- Quite a productive day for me cos I managed to do some light mopping of the floor, cleaning of the house, ironing, and cooking dinner.... :D Energy is definitely picking up since the 2nd trimester but I do experience frequent backaches often now...Hmmmm ;{
So tats dinner.... with Apple Juice... ;D
Tuesday, 17th June- Went for a swim again cos weather was good........Going fwd, I try to 'incorporate' swimming into my weekly activities, making it a point to swim at least once a week...or best twice a week!! ;) Aft which Dar A and I went NTUC for groceries shopping........ ;)
Today- As I have cravings for mum's healthy-style curry chicken...plus she doesn't ve to babysit Zach today, so she be cooking curry chicken for me!! *Delighted* Oh and why I said tat my mum's curry chicken is healthy-style one becos she doesn't use any coconut milk/oil to cook the curry....instead she will use those normal milk or I think evaporated milk to cook it... So we can eat it w/o feeling the guilt! ;p So I pan-fry some onion pratas to go along with it!! :D
Here's my healthy and delicious dinner! ;} (Except for the pratas ;p)
Very fulfilling & I felt soooo bloated!! ;p *Yummilicious*
Hmmmm...was thinking of gng Chinatown to buy some skincare products and bb's stuffs either tml or Fri... Shall see how's the weather bah......... ;}
Anyway, my dear baby is getting more and more active nowadays........ ;D Cos I get to feel her movements very often, constantly giving me some kicks and punches or like a 'surfer' doing her rounds of waves!! ;p Haaa........ And and she gave me a hard kick just now while I was watching tv program and I got a shock... ;p But still it's a wonderful & amazing feeling which I savour!! :)
Okay will start off by wishing all Fathers & Fathers-to-be a very Happy Father's Day!! :D
Fetal development:-The head is now about 1/3 of the size of the body now. Rapid eye movements begin at twenty-one weeks and baby can hear when you talk or sing to them now. Swallowing, which is believed to help baby’s digestive system function after birth, continues at this point. The heart is growing stronger and can be heard when you visit the doctor’s office. Fat continues to accumulate now and the bones and muscles are getting stronger each day.
Maternal Changes:-
Over halfway there, and you're probably showing now. Your uterus is about 1/2 inch above your belly button. The average weight gain is between 10 and 15 pounds at this point. If you're eating a healthy diet, don't count pounds and calories too strictly. Emotionally, you're probably feeling more stable and comfortable.
Your ankles and feet may be swelling, particularly at the end of the day. Drink lots of water and rest with your feet elevated.
With the second trimester being the easiest, this is a good time for planning and preparing together. The "pukiness" of the first trimester is (hopefully) a memory, and the heaviness of the third trimester is yet to come. Now is a good time to do something special together like taking a vacation or a weekend away (check with your caregiver first about travel). If you can't get away, use the time to grow closer and spend quality time together. :D
Looking at me.... ;D
Ok dozing off and ignoring me.... ;p
Wed, 11th June- We had our early Father's day dinner celebration at a Thai-style restaurant @ Yishun.... Dinner was great as usual... ;) No pics though cos I din bring my cam along.. ;p Aft which my dad bought durians and of cos tat ended up as desserts!! ;D
Finally satisfied my cravings for DURIANS, courtesy of dearest dad!!! :D *Drooling*
I swam twice this week and was feeling good cos at least I keep my butts off the sofa and not being a couch-potato! =) If not, mum will nag at me for being a lazy mummy!! ;p
Okay back to topic of shopping!! *Excited* I'm so addicted to online shopping.................but but not for myself but for Dearest Baby!! ;p Eversince I kw and confirmed on bb's gender..... I'm as eager to shop for HER!! Tats so typical of me "shopaholic"!! ;p *LOL* I'm sure every mum-to-be reacts the same way and can't wait to stock up on baby's clothings & stuffs!! ;) How true is that!! *kiasu* ;p
Okay...... *Beating drums.......* ;p Here's wat I got for bb from Old Navy and GAP!! :)
Heeee I know tats quite a lot from a mere 2days! ;p But they are having SALES now and the prices are relatively cheaper and soooo attractive to resist!! ;) Aft shipping etc, each pc costs bout S$9-S$10++ only!! :D Seee..... tats why I said how to 'tahan' like that since the items are so affordable and reasonable!! =) Anyway the clothings I got mostly are from 3-6M & 6-12M ones, din wanna get too much of newborns' clothings cos they outsize them at a fast pace! ;)
Ok I will 'try' to control myself..... but instead hit those local stores for yet another shopping frenzy!!! ;p *LOL*
Think Dar A sure can't tahan this 'kiasu mummy' no sooner!! Haaaa......! Oops!! :S
