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..
Hello! Been getting super lazy in updating my post recently. Quite a few changes in my life going on currently. Some i have to hold on till later then i can announce. But for now, i am in my new job! So far so good, loving it as of now. Enviroment, colleagues, bosses all seems quite nice. Hopefully this goes on.
At my new place, I have my own room! More privacy and not that stressful too. Finally I have the feeling that I am somebody that is consider as a little important to the Co lol. And best of all, the location of my office is back in town! Back in good old raffles place. Miss the buzz here. Sentosa is sooooo dead.....I think i might be a more city person than a country person afterall. Oh ya and before I started with the Co, I went on a short trip to BKK with hubby and of cos Skyler! It was a great trip. Going to update on that post soon.
The tag on my door hee.
Ma
Ma, I dreamt abt u again this morning. You told me that you still have another 8 more days and you would be leaving us. You are teary when you said that... :~< When I woke up, I went to calculate. In another 8 more days, it's Ma's 99 days of passing n today marks exactly her 3rd mth anniversary... I wasn't counting when I was awake so it can't be I dreamt that dream becos I was thinking too much ... So it's for real. It can't be that coincident right. But Ma, you didn't tell me wat u need. Please come into my dreams more often from now onwards ok. N let me know what you need and wat you want.
Love you lots n missing you badly...

Colleague: ya loh. You are like the ozone layer. she is like the ultra violet rays. Very potent!
Me: Ya ,cos now ozone layer broken le, no longer can screen out the ultra violet rays.
Colleague: Ya sian. Very painful leh.
Me: better be careful ya and dont get skin cancer...

Scolding, scolding and more scolding
After I have tendered my resgination, i wasnt on speaking terms with my boss. In fact, she treated me as transparent, which in a way is good as she no longer asked me to do things and now she has transfer her scoldings to my staffs. Well, now I can only empathised them. Nothing much i can do to help since i am no longer there to cushion the scolding.
Sometimes i wonder, why does she need to vent her anger on us all the time? Isnt she tired of scolding people? Cant she make the world a better one or rather make the office environment a better one to work in? She just scolded one of my colleague loudly (i think the whole level could hear her) and demanded that a particular item to be done before lunch. Hai, i am glad that i am no longer in this shit hole. I should have jump out of it long time ago.

Shiok!!
Recently I did a very "brave" thing! I quit my job wo first looking for another one! Felt sssoooo relief after I did that. No more gg to work with stress n heavy heart. No more lunching in n working late. What I did for work were unappreciated. Everything I do is not good enough. If I m really that bad, how did I survive in Kpmg for the last 7 yrs?!
Work that I was told to do, guidance wasn't given. She doesnt treat me as part of the team n most of the time she ignore me. I wonder if I did step on her toes to warrant these... But anyway, now I felt that the huge stone was lifted off my chest! I can enjoy my day once again n no longer have nightmares.
Bye, lao chu niu, a 40 yrs old single woman who doesn't understand the importance of family.
