31 weeks+
I m left with the most 9 more weeks to go. Time seems to fly! I m getting more n more nervous. I haven :
- started washing Jazelle's nb clothes,
- buy the cot sheets,
- collect the playpen or buy the mattress for it,
- buy the voltage converter for my Pisa,
- small tin of fm,
- pack my hospital bag,
- present for Skyler for sibling's gift exchange,
- wrap Jazelle's gift.
Seems that I m more nervous this time round as compared to Skyler's time. Wonder how would I coup with 2 kids in the future. Would I still be able to spend as much time as I could with skyler now? How am I able to go out alone with 2 kids wo the maid? How would Skyler react when Jazelle arrives. How would he react to gg N1 next yr? So many qns, so many uncertainties. Oh dear... Pls let everything proceed smoothly.

Jazelle Wee
After much searching and considerations, we have finally decided on mei mei's name. We gg call her Jazelle Wee! Below is what we found in the internet:
What Does Name "Jazelle" Mean
You are honest, benevolent, brilliant and often inventive, full of high inspirations. You are courageous, honest, determined, original and creative. You are a leader, especially for a cause. Sometimes you do not care to finish what you start, and may leave details to others. You can do well in position of authority, and prospers in intellectual and professional fields. You are bold, independent, inquisitive and interested in research. You know what you want and why you want it. If A is the first vowel and there are two A's in the entire name, you are a clear thinker. If A is the first vowel and there are more than three A's, you can be egotistical, cynical and even critical.
Position and social status is very important for you and you are always looking for way to improve your position in society. You have power and ability to chose your own destiny and achieve anything you want in life. You can expand in any direction according to your will and the set of values. You have passion for justice and belong to the position of authority. You have an inherent courage and endurance to accomplish "The Impossible Dream". With the power comes responsibility. You hold keys to the material world, but with this gift comes high spiritual responsibility to be fair and true to others. You are philosophical and mature, determined and intense with a desire to endure, often religious.
So hopefully that Jazelle will grow up to be what was mentioned in the above. Chinese name wise, like Skyler, needa follow the "Tai" character and would only be calculated and chosen after she is born. Now i am currently in my 30th week. Another 10 more weeks or so to go! So fast and i am feeling nervous alr.
Spring cleaning
Just did a round of spring cleaning on my blog and remove those inactive blog threads. Sad that most do not update their blogs anymore. I wonder if anyone still reads mine? Hmmm...
Zzzz habit
Yeah, nowadays, Skyler managed to zzz on his own. All i need to do is to be in the same room as he is. Fed him his milk, kiss him good night and walk away. should have done this earlier!
Skyler turns two

My Skyler
Realised that i didn't blog abt Skyler for a VERY VERY long time! I have been blogging abt my pregnancy every now n then but nothing on skyler (hope he doesnt say that I m being bias!) . My little boy is now all grown up, learning new things everyday :) . He managed to drop his pacifier habit when he was 20 mths old n now at 26 mths, I m training him to zzz on his own. Tonight was the 2nd night n he took 1 hr to zzz -_-". Yesterday he only took 20 mins. Lol guess he was tired last night.
It's another 2.5 mths till my edd. So it means another 2.5 mths to have our 100% love n attention. I seriously dunno how he will react after mei mei is born. N I felt so guilty that in times to come, he needa share our love for him with mei mei. So not looking fwd to it :( .
Nowadays Skyler can speak more and communicating with him is much easier. But he can be so cheeky at times. He has also started his "y?" qns n some times driving me up the walls. Talking abt terrible twos..,*shiver*

Cravings!
Oh dear oh dear, I have countless cravings recently! Craving for lor mee, fried kway teow, tissue prata, durian. How not to get fat! Yes, won't get fat cos none was satisfied! Boohoo... :(
Also, this 2nd pregnancy is really more difficult than the first. Or shall I say first pregnancy was too smooth n much of a breeze thus this time round is so different! When I had Skyler, I didn't have much problem till i was in my 3rd trim. But now @ 24 weeks +, i am alr having backaches, can't zzz on my back n will get breathless when climbing up the stairs.
Hubby also can't be bothered much this time round too. Sad...

Babyplus
18 Weeks
Starting using babyplus yesterday when i reached 18 weeks. Boy was there a great difference between now and when it was Skyler's time! Back then , even when i shorten the belt to the shortest length, I still need to use a rubber band to tie up the excess belt. But this time round, when i shorten it to the shortest length, it is in fact slightly tight..lol...hmmm...size is sssooo much bigger now :P Also, i am using bbplus in office. Save me the trouble of waking up earlier to on the machine risking waking skyler up at home.
Week 18
Finally can announce my pregnancy!! Here goes :
My big bump at 18 weeks
Just as I was complaining that I haven felt bb kick for a very long time, felt some some butterfly kicks today :)

Amnio test
27 Jun'12
Went for my amnio test today. Not as painful as I thot it would be. It's like drawing blood. Prof Biswas was quick and within 3 mins, the procedure was done. But before that the sonographer did all the measurement for bb . Here is a pic of the little one. :)
The test cost us $1.1k+ we opted for the express result which is expected to be ready within 48 hrs. Was given 3 days hospitalisation leave as I need bed rest for the waterbag to heal. But as I just join SCO only, I am not allowed to take mc, so in the end I took no paid leave. And also cos I went on leave just last week, very paisei to keep taking leave.
Hubby bought me this to reward me for being so brave today for the test!

Visited Dr Yam for my Oscar blood test result today. I wasn't worried cos the clinic did not called me before that (if the result is bad, they would have called me immediately). When I reached, Dr Yam took a look at my report n congrats me saying my risk is very low; 1:10k+. I was relieved at the news but less than 2 seconds n after a 2nd look at the report, he face changed! Then he broke the news to me... The blood test tested not just for DS but also for ES n PS. My ratio for ES n PS wasn't very good , particularly for ES... In the end we decided to go my amnio test (on 27 June).
After some research, ES is actually a fatal problem whereby either the mother will have a late miss carriage, still birth or even if managed a live birth, most likely won't pass 1 yr old. I was very scared n cried for the whole night. I kept wondering y me? There is no such history in our family n I m not near 35. I m healthy n so is ah dear. So y me? Hubby asked me not to think too much as nothing was confirmed yet. Also alot of frens told me that blood test isn't that accurate n lots of mom had bad results for blood test but amnio result turns out ok. Let's just hope that everything will really turns out ok. Keeping fingers crossed very tightly.

Little kicks
03 Jun 12 - 13 weeks+
I first felt the soft butterfly kicks when I was 12 weeks plus. Just now, I felt a few kicks again :) can't believe it that I can feel the kicks so early in the pregnancy. I only felt Skyler's kicks when i was in my 18th week. Looking fwd to more of such kicks!

Finally the Oscar test
01 Jun 12
Went for my Oscar today n finally got to see bb again after 3 long weeks. Bb is more fully formed now n we can see his/her hands, legs, head n body. So cute!
When I am having Skyler, some time I will forget that I m pregnant. Now with Skyler being a 2 yr old, I hardly even remember I m currently pregnant! Cos all my attention is on Skyler. And now that he is gg into his terrible two stage, he is demanding even more attention from us. It's always mommy this, mommy that. In a way I m afraid I would neglect #2 in the future...
Anyway, the scan result is ok. Now I have to wait for the blood test result. Hope that alls well.
A lot of mommies commented that bb has got long legs. Hehe like mommy n daddy bah.
Sonographer is being generous n gave me 3 scan photos. In the first pic above, can see bb's hands n legs. 2nd pic is a close up of bb's face.
At 13 weeks, bb is 75mm in CRL. Considered as normal size. :) can't wait for my next gynae visit in 1 week's time.

Where r u baby?
Apr'12
Finally managed to pop over to Dr Yam's clinic for the check after changing apptm for a few times. He still remembers us! He even remembered that we were previously shifting house when I had Skyler. He said we looked the same n he did too. :) it's like a happy reunion for the 3 of us lol but it wasn't such a happy mood subsequently.
When we tried to scan for the sac, we can't find any. Dr Yam said 3 possibilities . 1, pregnancy is too early to see anything, 2 early miscarriage and 3 ectopic. After some discussion we were thinking that no 1 reason could be it. Cos so far I did not have any discharge or anything. So can't be miscarriage. And I didn't feel any pain or bleeding so might not be ectopic too. So in the end, took blood test. But Dr Yam warned that if I feel any pain or is bleeding, must admit to hospital immediately cos ectopic might be life threatening. Sounds so scary ya.
A day later, the blood results is out. HCG is at 794. So definitely is pregnant. Rightly in 2 days time, HCG level will double up n should be able to see sac when it reaches abt 1500. So later we r gg to make a trip dwn to gleneagles for a scan. Hopefully it's good news this time round. Cross fingers...

#2 is coming
22 Mar
Just did the test n this is the result:
Seems like #2 is on the way. Mixed feeling when I found out cos now I m in the middle of job crisis. My aim of taking the test is to harden my heart to quit my job wo a job if the result is negative. But seems like its fated for me to stay on.
The next qn u gg to ask me "are we trying for a bb?" The ans is no. We only did once n not even somewhere near my ovaluation period. Guess my ovaluation period has gone haywire recently cos menses always late. But anyway it's a god's gift :D am happy to be preggy again. Lots of thoughts now. All the first experiences came flooding back. The water retention, the leg cramps, the clumsy movement, the contraction pain , the sleepless nites n breastfeeding!!!! Gosh.. Sounds horrible ya. Hopefully no MS this time round too n let's hoped that it is a girl !! 2 boys would definitely drive me crazy but most importantly must be healthy.
#2, after knowing ur presence, everything else seems to be more easier to 忍. When I m stressed n I think of u in me, I seems to feel
better. Let's jiayou together ya. Mommy love u XOXO.
Ma! I m pregnant again! Ur fourth great-grand kid . Blessed me from above k. Missed u..

Bangkok Trip - 25 May - 28 May 2012
As I would be starting my new job on 4 June, we take the opporunity to go on a short trip. Decided and booked tickets on Tuesday night and flew off on Friday morning! How fast is that hehe. Told Skyler about it and he was very excited about the fact that he is going on a airplane.
Woke up at 3am to do some last min packing and set off to the airport. Look at his sleepy look. lol..
As we are taking Tiger Air, departure is at the Budget Terminal. Look, we have priority!
Skyler keeps on going on and on and on "airplane! airplane! airplane!"
Even onboard he is still as excited. As he is under 2, he doesnt need to pay for child fare. And thus, no seat was given. Just a red infant seat belt that can be attached to the adult's seat belt.
Love the clouds. Feel like pinching them and eat it.
Luckily he zzzz throughout the wrong trip there.
Finally we are here. Land of thousand smiles!
We stayed at Baiyoke Suit Hotel. Good choice as the location is right in the middle of pratuman and near the near Platinum Mall. Per night plus 2 adult buffet breakfast only cost us S$69. The room is huge including a hall.
Our room
The Hall
Went for lunch at some nearby shopping center and boy are their food cheap! Skyler love the fish ball quay teow and almost finished the whole bowl of it.
In the afternoon we went shopping at the new Platinum Mall. But as me and hubby are the big size kind and due to my new condition, We didnt really get much clothes there. They are simply too small for us.lol After that we headed down to the 四面佛 before going to Siam Shopping Center.
Our loots for the day :)
Day 2 - Chatuchak day, Chinatown
Woke up earlier so that we can chong to the ever famous Chatuchak. It was damn hot and so difficult to shop with Skyler around. Luckily hubby did most of the carrying and i didnt most of the paying of $$ and luging our loots ard.
Cheeky Skyler
At the pets area where Skyler refuse to leave. He is an animal lover like me :D
We left Chatuchak ard 3pm cos we simply doesnt have the energy to shop anymore! Headed down to Chinatown for late lunch. Its sharks fin and birdnest time!! Yummy.
And guess where we went for dinner..Slurp!
Day 3 - Chatuchak, MBK, Chinatown
Went back to Chatuchak again in the morning to finish the rest of the shopping. After that headed down to MBK which was quite a disappointment. Didnt managed to get much things but at least we did have some nice and super cheap Jap food. After that, went back to hotel to let Skyler nap before setting off to nearby area for more shopping. Dinner was at Chinatown again but this time we went for seafood dinner! And of cos more sharks fin and more birdnest :D
All these for about S$25!
Yum yum!
Our loots for the past 2 days. Hubby had a headache packing them lol.. Note most of the items are his! Some for Skyler and very little for me..sob sob...
Day 4 - Last day!
We did some last min shopping ard the hotel before heading to the airport. Our short holiday is really short :( Gg miss the spicy food here! Throughout the trip we also ate quite alot of tom yum noodles, soup and not to forget, mango sticky rice!
Mommy, can we not go back?
He didnt sleep on the flight back. So only thing to keep him quiet is iphone..sigh..
