Hee.. just came back from my check up and we've sort of "booked" a date to admit myself in the delivery suite..
Because Dr Chua said that I would need to induce labor due to GDM and my high BP.
She was also checking my cervix and said that it's a little dilated already as she felt the membrane of the uterus.. so I can go into labor anytime from now. but I somehow have a feeling BB will pop anytime soon!
My next checkup with her is on the 3rd May.. last checkup before delivery.. I'm so excited yet scared.. so this weekend I'm SO going to enjoy myself, enjoy the feeling of "singlehood" before motherhood, before all the crying starts.. Kakaka..

Week 36 (37)
Went for my gynae appointment today, and Dr Chua was checking my blood pressure, she said it was on the high side.. 149/80. but manual test is at 135./ 80... She said if my blood pressure continues to be this high, I would need to deliver earlier than my EDD. Im excited, yet scared..
I was also sharing with her that when Im home resting or nuah-ing, BB tends to move lesser.. Meaning its takes long for her to move 10 times then the usual 4-5pm. She is usually more active when Im at work. She can kick so suddenly that I jump up because she kicked my ribs. At home, she moves a little bit, like as if she is nuah-ing together with me.. haha. She knows the smell of her own home.. =)
Anyway, Dr Chua suggested that I do an ultra sound to check my water level in case anything goes wrong.. She did a scan and everything was normal..so she told me to do an CTG scan to see if BB's heart beat is normal
From the ultra sound and by measure BB's belly, she is already 3.2kg!! That's really fast because at week 32, she is like only 1.9kg.
I was so shocked when Dr Chua told me said its normal and as long as I monitor my diet, the baby should not grow too big.. She is suppose to grow like 150gms a week. But 3.2kg now means how much would she weigh by the time she is born?? 4kg or more? -_-"
Since its normal, I'll just continue to watch my diet ba.. I've lost another 0.2kg.. all my weight gained during this pregnancy has been given to my little one.. haha..
Below would be a video of the CTG with sounds of her heartbeat (very regular rhythm) and her hiccups (the very random and sudden thump). I thought it was quite funny.. haha

Picture of her CTG..
ok, back to the normal routine.. I've bought a few stuffs for her online.. Cheap ones la.. hehe..
Cute plush socks with rattles!!
Another rattle for her from Daddy.. Daddy always say that I spend alot of $$ on BB, but actually, Daddy also would buy toys for her and would usually choose the more expensive ones!! Anyway, it may look a little weird but Black, Red and White are to stimulate BB's vision.. The sounds of the rattle is rather loud too and its a plush..
Some Disney rompers I've bought in Gmarket for just $5 each.. hehe.. So sweet Minnie mouse.. Actually, I dont really like Minnie mouse, but I just thought that its PINK and Cute.. so... ya.. bought it anyway. HA!More things on the way!!!! Heee..

Week 34 (35)
OMG!! Week 34 already!! Im more and more anxious, scared, excited etc etc.. mixed feelings.. Part of me cant wait for BB to pop, another part of me worrying how would my life be after being in another chapter of my life.. In another 3 weeks, BB is ready to pop anytime already.. Hopefully my little one is a healthy BB!
Deborah gave birth to Eunice on the 29th March.. haha.. she just look soo cute and her tongue keep sticking out. Deb only went through labour of about 3 hours WITHOUT epidural.. hopefully I can do it too but if my labour is like more then 5 hours, i think i can forget about the idea.. haha.. how to rest when you are in pain and still get the strength to PUSH after so many hours of torture?? We'll see... haha
I went Shopping again!! Before Deborah gave birth, we went to the Expo baby fair on the 24th March.. and we bought ALOT of things.. we bought till both our hands were so full that we had to put everything into the car and go back for 2nd round of shopping.. haha.. Thank God Fabian was there to help me carry up my mum's place to0.. lol.. because its really ALOT!!
Here's what I've got:
Moo Moo Kow diapers! I shared this with Deborah and Cindy.. the total package is like $360 for 15 pieces with $50 worth of accessories so i chose 2 of the one size micro-fibre inserts for bigger kids.. so each of us took 5 diapers each.. There are quite limited choice of colours but I still manage to choose the colours that I like, but the lavender snap was OOS, so they mailed it to me.. Really nice service!
I emailed them my mailing address and also asked the owner, Abby, if i could still get the bamboo nursing pad at 3 for $20, which is the expo price that I kinda regret not getting on that day.. and she said Ok because I was her customer at the fair.. So nice!!
So the nursing pads came together with the Lavender snap the next day after payment was made. Fast and good service!! =)
I've bought the J&J Top to toe wash plus a milk lotion.. J&J is what I've used since young and love love love the smell of it!! The lotion is for the BB massage and of course, to moisturize her dry skin after bath..
When she grows up, I'll use the J&J shampoo and milk bath!! The smell just reminds me of my childhood years.. haha
These 2 are baby blankets for outdoors.. it feels really really soft and are nice to touch!! It comes in a pack of 5 for $20, but I just bought 2 from Deborah as I dont think I would need alot..
I saw this at the Babycare/Mustela booth..Its a baby swaddle cloth. I bought another one because I would need another swaddle cloth if I washed the polka dot one.. haha.. the main thing, its the cute tortise that made me interested in it.. haha..
For diapering, I was thinking of alternating the cloth diapers from Moo Moo Kow, the traditional prefold and also the disposable diapers.. Abit more work but at least I can save $$.. haha.. So at Tollyjoy booth, I bought the cloth napkins for about $15.90..
Cotton wool so that I dont have to always use baby wipes (which too contains quite alot of chemicals) to wipe her butt if she pees.. Poo poo than I would need to use wipes la.. My mum was telling me to get a HUGE container and roll the cotton into balls and keep it.. so that I dont have to keep pulling it out from this roll as it can be quite messy.. I will do it... when i find a container.. lol
Oh, how can I forget the napkin liners in case she poops!! I'll need to use it in both the cloth diapers and the MMK ones.. Not very expensive, it cost $13.90 for 200 pieces..
I thought I've got a cheap deal at Tollyjoy until we passed by Pureen's booth -_-""
Anyway, Deborah goes to KKH for her gynae checkups and there is a Pureen store there, so she has already bought some stuffs from Pureen as she felt that the materials are softer to touch.. the expo prices are also even cheaper so she bought more.. I bought it too because its also cheaper than Tollyjoy and I'll need to use it anyway..
Diaper clothes @$15.30.. The cloth is really much much softer than Tollyjoy!!
Nappy Liners @$5/ box.. softer as well..
Detergent for napkins and clothes @$5.70.. The aunty there swear by it making the cloth diapers super white and there's another lady who took like 2-3 boxes also said the same thing, so I just bought 1 box to try..
Diapers @ $12.. its actually like 3 packs for $36 but I shared with Deborah, so just took 1. what I like is that the tapes to tighten the diapers is not those sticky types but somehow like velcro.. Its really amazing because I've read on some brands whereby it doesnt stick anymore if you take it out and put it back again if you stick too tightly or too loosely. As a first time mom, i rather be abit KS la, saving $$ is still a priority. Anyway, it cost about $0.25 a piece.. its also consider quite cheap, just that I actually have problems finding this in the supermarket..
This is the biggest pack of pad I've ever seen and it has like only 20 pieces!!! the packaging is HUGE! Its $6 per pack, not very cheap as compared to other pads in the market but at least Im pretty sure this is VERY Thick, no doubts about its absorbency..
Avent:
Tadah! I finally bought the food cum bottle warmer @ $60 despite Justin telling me that we dont need it, because I still feel we need it as I would need to warm the milk fast without overheating the milk that would destroy all the precious nutrients!
Deb also told me that Evelyn said that the reusable breast pads are good, so I bought a box @ $16. The storage bottles (240ml) cost $24 for 10 pieces.. The total adds up to just nice $100 and they gave me an Avent bottle for free..
Been searching around for a nice diaper bag for quite sometime.. but I just couldn't find something I like.. until I saw this:
Its a sling bag that Im able to hook behind the stroller.. Its brown and pink!
Its water proof inside with compartments and a changing mat.. bought this at $35..hehe
You know, as my belly grows bigger, the stretchmarks became more and more and its even more itchy now.. the cream I've been using only cure the itchiness till a few hours after I apply but by noon, I feel itchy again.. So I bought this oil with rosehip fragrance.. it smells really nice!! Love it as its not oily.. It does last much longer then the cream but not the whole day..
Bought it at $29.90.. apparently the big bottle for the rosehip is not out in the market yet.. only a small bottle or the normal fragrance one.. and that already cost like $39.90!
Frederic bought this infant pillow for BB.. haha.. with a cute pillow case!!
There was also Popular book fair on the day of the BB fair..I totally didnt expect to buy anything from there but I came out with these...
Just for me to read up and know..
This is for BB to play during her bath time.. so cute!
This alphabet mat is just for her play on top of it.. hahaha and its so cheap! only $8.90! 26 pieces and I've decided to put half at my mum's place and the other half at my place. because Its tooo big!
Other buys from the past:
Its time to start reading this book liaoz...
I went to Giant with my mum while I was staying at Tamp.. and she bought these for BB.. It looks familiar right? Because I've bought it previously and felt that she lack of pyjamas so I bought a few more.. haha...
Another romper: "The question is: am I cute or what?" ... lol..
From Robinson sale with Meixi:
Mittens and booties..
BB caps!
Close up views
From Kiddy Palace.. A head support for the stroller.. Justin Daddy decides to spend a little more on something he thinks felt good for BB's touch.. It really does feels much better then the other head supports..
This is my favourite buy for now!! We went to BHG bugis yesterday and they had 20% off storewide.. They had this Strawberry Shortcake counter at one corner and I came across this cute overalls!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE kids in overalls!! I was holding on to some BB clothes already, but I decided to forgo the rest of it just for this piece! Its about $31 after discount.. A little ex la, but too cute for me to resist!!!
Front view..
My favourite: the pockets!!
There is another bb fair coming up.. I'm going to buy some stuffs to stock up if I do happen to come across like the nappy liners, cotton wools etc, if its cheap la..
Now, Im suppose to count my baby kicks, starting from 9am till what time my BB kicks 10 times. A cluster of movement only considered 1 count. So far, she has been quite active,when i reach work and sit down, she will move alot.. so usually I can stop counting at about 4pm..
There is once I was so worried because she did not move since morning, so at about 11am, I decided to "wake" her up but patting my tummy non stop until she moves 1 time. It took quite a while of patting until she moves, but then she starts moving, she moves alot within the next 3 hours!! Kicking up my ribs, moving to the side of the belly, etc.. She sure took her revenge.. hahaha...
My little girl is so cheeky, just like her Daddy.. =)
Deborah gave birth to Eunice on the 29th March.. haha.. she just look soo cute and her tongue keep sticking out. Deb only went through labour of about 3 hours WITHOUT epidural.. hopefully I can do it too but if my labour is like more then 5 hours, i think i can forget about the idea.. haha.. how to rest when you are in pain and still get the strength to PUSH after so many hours of torture??
