Dar A and I cam-whore a bit b4 leaving home...cos he realised we have yet to take pics tog since I'm preggie!! ;p Here're mtb and dtb!! =)
Haaa we were in matching blue outfits! ;)
On a side note, I was so freaked out on Friday's night cos I experienced BH's contractions and there was cramps as well and was on/off kinda of mode.... One moment, I will feel alright but the feeling will be back again.... ;( Makes me felt so uncomfy and I was sooo worry that I may go into labour etc!! *Panic* So scared that bb precious will surprise us!! Tat really freaks Dar A out as well!!! I even asked him go pack his hosp bag to be on stand-by mode!! ;p So I hurried go bed rest and felt better aft a long nite of sleep! *Phew* False alarm! Was still telling bb girl tat mummy has yet to take coconut water lah, do this and tat lah, so pls be good and dun give us any surprises & cont to get cosy in mummy's womb for at least 2wks more..!! Luckily she's still a good girl!! ;) *Relief*
Aft Fri's incident, I decided to get everything tat I needed to do, to get it done asap le.... Cos labour kinda of thing is sooo beyond our control and unpredictable! Hmmm.... though we have gotten most of the things done but sometimes just can't help worrying tis n tat and having things undone etc.... Guess tats me... always a thinker! ;p
Oh and yes... we have finalised our bb girl's name!! Like finally!! ;p Dearest bb's name will be Kaelyn Quah! :D (Hope I wun change my mind!! ;p) Pronounced as "Kay" "Lyn"!
Anyway yest aft visiting Zayden, Dar A and my mum dropped by Adam rd's hawker centre to get me coconut water!!! ;p They bot 2 coconuts for me.... 1 white Thai small coconut and 1 big M'sia green coconut! Heard tat those big green coconuts work better.... ;)
Well so I had finally drank my 1st coconut water!! How refreshing and nice in such hot humid weather!! *Shiok* ;p
Still got tat big green coconut in the fridge yet to be drink!!! ;p
Cam-whore b4 gng out! ;p
Having done, we went over to the clinic for my check-up and AS USUAL, we have to WAIT!! Used to it orie in fact and we knew given our queue no, we had to wait for at least 2hrs b4 our turn! ;( So we went Mos Burger to have some snacks and read newspapers and mag! ;p
Ok ok to cut short, I shall touch on bb's progress!! Dearest bb is of weight 2.525kg @ 35wks...an increase of 212g as compared to 2wks ago....Hmmm though I hope she can gained more weight at least hitting 2.7kg....Guess I'm not eating a lot oso...Tat explained her mere's weight increase bah... Though Dr Koh assured us she's of good weight.... And and here wat makes me so happy and excited!! Precious bb has turned head down and Dr Koh said she's orie head down at bout 90%! :D Initially I was still not hopeful cos I can felt the hardness at my ribcage/below my breasts and tot tat was bb's head! And it turned out to be her bum bum!! *LOL*
Was really greatful and elated that she's listening to my daily pleas and nags at her asking her to be good and goes head down!! And she did it!! Thx God and thank you bb for listening to mummy!! :D Who knows eating the lady-fingers does HELP!! ;p Dr Koh was still saying now I got the chance to be "A REAL WOMAN" who can screams her lungs out at the delivery room!! *LOL* How farnie is that??!! Nvmthless I hope she'll be good and cont to be head down & dun rebel against me! ;p And we were still hoping if he was able to scan bb's face anot, but alas guess he was rushing for time and din scan for us to see this time round! *Boooo...*
Aft scanning, he proceed to brief us on hosp stuffs & wat to watch out for if I'm in labour and wat to expect etc.....oso given us the Pre-admission letter le.... So it will be another 2 wks time b4 we see him again.... And oh yes, I only gained another 0.5kg.... ;)
In order to fulfil my promises to bb dearest, aft the check-up we headed to Popular bookstore to get her more story books!! Cos I was telling bb tat if she's good and goes head down I will buy her more story books and read to her..... :) Guess she likes us reading stories to her, be it noon-time stories or bed-time stories! ;p
New story books for bb!! =)
And mummy dearest got me more button front pyjamas when she was out and in total I have got 6 buttons-front nite dresses and 3 two-pcs buttons front pyjamas!! ;p Guess no one will have so many pcs as I do!!! 'kiasu'*LOL*
And here's a pc she bot which doesn't look like pyjamas at all lor!! More like a baby-doll dress to me!! Haa.....
Babydoll 'pyjamas' dress??!! ;p
And here is bb's Polo Ralph Lauren's dress tat arrived this week! ;)
Very cute & sweet pc!!! ;) I'm drooling over it!
Guess my ON's spree stuffs will arrived soon too!! ;)
Oh yes and Zacheus's lil bro- Zayden(my 2nd nephew) was born on Sat-27th Sept'08!!! Will post his pics soon!! =)
Ok will be back for more updates!! ;p
I'm feeling better orie and has recovered from the flu...Thxs God!! ;) If not, think I will be feeling so remorseful everyday popping the pills! *Booo...*
Here's the end results!! Luv this Fisher-Price Rainforest cot mobile lots!!! :) The leaves & animals will swirl as it goes with the musical's flow.... I'm sure bb precious will love it too!! =)
Sat, 20th Sept- We went out to Si Ma Lu's temple there to pray... aft tat headed to Qiji's cafe to satisfy my cravings for their popiah and Mee siam!! ;p Initially wanted to drop by TMC's Cordlife's booth to enquire more of the cordblood thingy and signed up with them...but alas their counter was closed at mid-noon! *Sigh* Luckily Dar A made a check 1st b4 we went down..If not waste time & petrol only!
Me in lil black dress! ;) And and my face is getting chubbier liao!! No sooner think whole body even more "swollen" le!
Since we were out le, I persuaded Dar A to go Tampines-Giant cos I wanna buy the Karmy's buttons pyjamas!! Plus a hanging clothes rack cos I can 'foreseen' more washings of bb's clothings like her cloth nappies etc lah... Worry that our 6 'shorten' poles aren't sufficient for our daily washings plus our own clothings! ;) *Kiasu mummy*
Cheap hanging rack @ $9.90 only! ;)
Luckily managed to buy the Karmy's buttons pyjamas @ $10.90 each....plus other basic neccessities... ;) And b4 we left Giant, I bot this Avocado Milk shake drink from the Foodcourt and this is my 1st time trying out Avocado fruit juice! ;p Verdict: Ok lah not as bad or not as fantastic as I tot it will be! =) No harm trying out though....
And oh yes b4 I end this entry, think we are gonna BAN buying China's made food products le!! So sickening and dangerous as it can be.....Haiz! Some businessmen in China only CARE bout making $$$ w/o considering if the stuffs they produced will be harmful to citizens anot... Shame on them!! ;(
On a side note, think bb precious is being stubborn just like mummy at times!! Cos I can still feel her in her comfy transverse position! ;( *SIAN* Think gonna hear Dr Koh mentioned bout C-section to me again during my coming Wed's check-up! ;(
I'm currently sick...! Down with a mild flu and a tight sore throat! ;( Arrrggghhhh..... it felt sooo wrong and 'unappealing' to fall sick now during my 3rd tri.....
Went to see a GP yest night and was given some medication which are safe to consume.... Tot I can go 'drug-free' during my entire duration of pregnancy and endure it thru....since I have managed to overcome headaches etc....But sad to say that I have given in to medications to cure my flu now! *Sian 1/2*
I felt so guilty aft having consume those medications, wonder it will ve any effects on precious & etc..... But wat to do leh... If I dun take the pills, I afraid my condition may get worsen and I felt even more sick & uncomfortable! ;( Having mixed feelings now & then..... Super Sian & Upsetting!
And and yest mid-night ard 3-4am plus, bb precious seems to be having a big party inside!! ;p I can constantly felt her movements and not those usual lil kicks and punches... It's like big waves and 'Merry-Go-Rounds' kinda of movements tat it really affected my sleep! *Ouch* Initially I tot I was dreaming but it was unjustified when I woke up to pee! I was wondering how come yest night she's sooo sooo super ACTIVE?! Effects of medicines?!! Strange lah and I can't figured it out.... and I was soo worry tat she will end up in Breech position instead of transverse position initially aft her night's round of 'partying'!!! ?????? Cos I can felt the hardness tat felt like the crown of her head below my breasts! ;(
Oh pls dearest bb, despite mummy's daily pleas and naggings, dun opposed against mummy and turned head up INSTEAD!! :'( So demoralised lah....
Yest called to book the massage lady for my post-natal massages and tok to her a while on the phone... and was telling her tat bb is at transverse position leh and I wonder end up I have to go for a C-section anot.... So she gave me a lil suggestion telling me to eat more lady-fingers NOW!! Hmmm wonder how helpful is that?! ;) Stil rem my mummy oso been telling me to eat more lady-fingers cos she said very good for the baby etc....
So today my mum helped me bot a big packet of lady-fingers and I shall be good and cook those veggies to eat consistently! Hope it does helps to 'soothe' baby and makes her go head down! ;)
Meanwhile hope my flu will go away soon and I be off the medications! Gng to take a lil nap now, at the same time listen to Baby Mozart to stimulate bb's mind! ;)
Flu bug flu bug GO AWAY!
Okay here's lil precious updates on her routine check-up on Wed! ;)
Comparison between 28wk4d & 32 wk ;)
How your baby's growing:By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth. Note: Every baby develops a little differently — even in the womb.
If you’re feeling kicks in your ribcage it probably means that baby has finally moved into the head down position that 96% of babies are born in. Don’t worry if this hasn’t happened yet, you still have a few weeks left for baby to move. During baby’s awake times their eyes are open and looking around. When they are sleeping their eyes are closed. Eye color is usually blue right now, but this will change with exposure to light, and then it can change again a few months after birth. Baby’s immune system is starting to develop now and sometimes the fingernails are so long that they will scratch themselves. White fat is continuing to accumulate now. This helps baby’s skin appear more pink and diminishes the wrinkly appearance of your little one’s skin.
How your life's changing:
To accommodate you and your baby's growing needs, your blood volume has increased 40 to 50 percent since you got pregnant. With your uterus pushing up near your diaphragm and crowding your stomach, the consequences may be shortness of breath and heartburn. (V.true indeed!)
To help relieve your discomfort, try sleeping propped up with pillows and eating smaller meals more often.You may have lower-back pain as your pregnancy advances. If you do, let your caregiver know right away, particularly if you haven't had back pain before, since it can be a sign of preterm labor. Assuming it's not preterm labor that's ailing you, you can probably blame your growing uterus and hormonal changes for your aching back. Your expanding uterus shifts your center of gravity and stretches out and weakens your abdominal muscles, changing your posture and putting a strain on your back. Hormonal changes in pregnancy loosen your joints and the ligaments that attach your pelvic bones to your spine. This can make you feel less stable and cause pain when you walk, stand, sit for long periods, roll over in bed, get out of a low chair or the tub, bend, or lift things.
Baby precious is really moving quite a lot nowadays and even Dar A has managed to feel and saw her powerful's kicks & punches! Quite amazing! ;D
And I'm almost done with washing of bb's clothings...except for her bigger/gng-out clothes! ;p Other than that, only left with the washing of her bedding stuffs... Dar A has oso set up the baby cot! And I have oso pack my hosp bag le!! ;) All geared up!
Pretty happy at the pace & speed we are doing/preparing things now for her arrival! ;)
Tml- Wed,10th Sept will be gng for my routine check-up again!! So we are able to see bb xuan again!! ;) Hopefully she be good girl and let us see her face again!!
But most imptly is she's growing and absorbing nutrients well! Wonder how heavy is she now! =) I've been diligently toking to her everyday on asking her to be head down soon and gets engaged since I'm in my 33 wk now....So was thinking it will be wise for her to slowly turn head down..... so I wun be on constant worry if she's still at her tranverse position or breech position...
*Fingers crossed*
Okay will be back for more updates! :)
Shopping SPREE again!! *Wheee.....*
Black Patent Madrid

Yest was out to Chinatown to stock up on my toiletries from Ocean store, got lotsa sanitary pads and cotton disposable panties!
Packets of sanitary pads!!! Nvm have I ever bot so many pkts!! ;p *Kiasu*
Here's wat I worn...Nothing fanciful! ;p

Was greatful that I managed to buy my Biotherm's facial products from the Ocean store cos most of the time it will be OOS soon!
We oso dropped by the famous CC store tat sells a variety of bb's stuffs! And finally decided to purchase the Ameda Lactaline Dual breastpumps from them! Costs bout $350 whereas outside is retailing at ard $388......Since I missed the offer tat TMC used to sell it at ard $320 previously.....hmmm wat to do...... Doubt I will find it at any better price. So finally breastpumps strike off the list!
Ameda's breastpumps! (Dar A was still laughing at me for taking pic of a BOX!) *lol*
Aft having done with our purchases at Chinatown, we left for Bugis for dinner @ Fish & Co, whereby aft which Dar A be purhasing his new HP!
Persuaded Dar A to purchase this Endearmints sweets from Fish & Co since I luv it so much and it can't be found at local stores!! They are retailing it now at their restaurants for a 1kg packet at $16.05! Very big packet! ;)
Okay here's Dar A new HP!! Finally purchased it aft a long time! ;)
Nokia E66! ;)
Initially he was still deciding whether he shld purchase the Apple iphone anot, and aft much consideration and thoughts, he opt for E66 instead! I think it was a good choice since he's not on the run/road most of the time and this HP shld serve him well!! =) *Brilliant choice*
Okay will be back for more updates on my bb's purchases again!! ;p
Off to prepare for dinner with my family le....To celebrate mummy's birthday! ;)
Be bringing Nic back for his review later.......Hopefully everything be good and under control given my care & attention these few days!! ;) Every mid-nights, aft toilet's visits...I will try to syringe-fed Nic with water, making sure he's well hydrated due to the pills he's feeding on. Cos he's so lazy to wake up and go drink water during the nights..... Well hope to hear good news from Dr Shum later on... *Fingers crossed*
If everything else is good, I shld be able to return to my comfy Home Sweet Home soon! ;) But I must try to settle Nic's medicines feeding issue with my mum. Bit headache on this issue as I kw mummy will be busy taking care of naughty Zach at the same time! Hmmm.....Wil try to work things out...!
It's officially Sept le....and I'm into my 32wks this week! Time flies super FAST can! As I'm typing this entry, I can feel bb Xuan's movements lots!! Everyday I will be telling her to be good...this n that....and most imptly for her to be head down in engaged position soon. Oh ya oso have been trying to record her movements on video too! Sometimes she just dun co-operate well with me! ~Booo....~ Heee but still did managed to capture some of her movements lah! ;)
Previous night while trying to sleep.... as usual was thinking of bb Xuan's names again! Suddenly came out with "Clariss" pronounce as 'Claire-ris'! ;) Simple and nice I thought.... Cos I dun wanna too complicated a name & oso difficulties in pronouncing it... =) Anyway have shortlisted these few names:
>Calista
>Clarrisa

Most of them starts with the alphabet- C!! ;) *LOL*
