My Angel

Dear little pea,

How are you getting on? Daddy reminded me of you when we talked about the handphone charm that's dangling on my iPhone the other night.

We got the charm from USS at around Jan/Feb last year. It was a little angel. It was chosen as if it was representing you. You made us happy - the joy and excitement for new parents-to-be. Sadly, those happy moments didnt last for long. You and I were not ready, and you chose to be a real angel. An angel that is always watching us, sending us blessings from somewhere.

Some time in June last year, I conceived again. I don't know it is the old you, or a new you. All I know is that once again, you brighten up my life. Each and every visit to our gynae was a milestone for both of us, as well as your daddy's. You are special to us.

Just a few more weeks or a few more days if you can't wait, we will be holding you in our hands. The excitement, the anticipation and the stress that comes along with it - I feel like my emotions are secretly going on a roller coaster ride. I am glad that throughout this journey, there's someone who never fails to stay by me. He's none other than your daddy, as well as my beloved hubby.

Mummy missed you, little pea. Pororo is now coming to either replace you, or he is just the grown up version of you.

We will be waiting.
Lotsa love,
Mummy and Daddy

It's week 36~!

Hey Pororo,

You are 36 weeks today! Just about 3 more weeks to seeing you! Dr Wong said that you are already engaged. Plus being co-operative, you are moving down and down towards the birth canal. Very nice. We are aiming for a natural delivery, probably around week 38 or 39. 加油！

In the last week 35's checkup, Dr Wong measured your weight... and you were 0.2-0.3kg heavier than average. I guess it's all due to the snacking and indulgence during the CNY period. Dr Wong advises me to cut down on those high carbo and high sugary food, just to make sure you are at the ideal weight of  around 3 to 3.2kg during birth. That will make pushing you out easier. :) I have to listen to her because I don't want the both of us to suffer when the time comes.

Right now you should be weighing around 2.7 to 2.8kg. Mummy's getting more soreness around the pelvic area. Tossing and turning during sleeping also causes discomfort to me. Insomnia has been visiting me the past few days, braxton hicks are becoming more frequent too. Not to mention the lower backaches every now and then. However, I have to bear through all these discomforts and pains, because I know in the end, it is all worth it.

Daddy's going on biz trip next week. So Dr Wong also asked me not to walk too much, so as to prevent any "accidents" when Daddy's not around. It's been a while since Daddy's going overseas... Mummy kind of "scared" and keeps 胡思乱想 of all the "what ifs". Haha. Luckily it's only for a few days...

Oh ya! I bought those rechargable batteries for us too. My breast pump needs to use AA batteries, when power sources are not available. So, I bought the limited edition Eneloop batteries.. I felt happy after seeing those batteries! Hope that the happiness can maintain throughout the breastfeeding journey as happiness is one of the factor that keeps pumping easy. :) LOL.

 

Ok, that's all for this post.

 

Mummy loves you!

2nd Day of Lunar New Year.

Dear Pororo,

Mummy had been eating a lot of snacks and goodies these few days.. a lot of empty calories and high sugary food! Mummy feel guilty every time I put one into my mouth.. but mummy is a glutton. Cannot resist! Hope that you are still doing good in my tummy. :)

So, let me start off by telling you what happened on the eve of CNY. All of us went to your 阿姨's house to have reunion lunch, as well as celebrating your 外公's lunar birthday. :) Mummy bought a tropicana mango cake and everyone loves it! Here's a photo of your 外公 and 表姐姐们。Too bad your two 表哥s were not in the picture. See, 外公 was so so happy! Sorry for the blur pic, 阿姨's photo taking skills were not very good. Haha.

We then hang around til the evening before heading back and had our dinner at MacDonalds. LOL. Mummy was very tired after reaching home.. so I only managed to stay til 12 midnight for welcoming the first day of CNY before heading to sleep.

On the first day of CNY, we had our breakfast and lunch at home and then met your 外婆 for dinner at clementi. We had Swensons and then finishing off with a Mac vanilla cone. :) Oh ya, I had my first my attempt of making 汤圆 too! Daddy said that he missed your granny's and so I tried making some from the leftover flour. Daddy say not too bad, just need to improve on the texture of the 汤圆. :)

Today, we went to your 舅舅's house as our relatives will be there for a gathering. It was a long day and though you are not out yet, you had your very first 红包 from my 大表哥! After everyone left, your daddy helped out in the cleaning and we returned home. Mummy just cooked a small meal (macaroni soup) and now typing out this post and watching TV.

Ok, I shall end this post with a picture of Mummy and Daddy, and the little you in my tummy. See, mummy's tummy is so round... same as my face. LOL.

 Happy new year to us~! Counting down around 4 more weeks to see you! Muacks!
