H1N1 alert

These few days, everyone is paranoid about the H1N1 flu. It's been very tiring lately in school because I have to keep my mask on at all time. It's hot as hell and I have to wear the mask during lessons. It's exhausting.

Updates on myself, my feet started to swell yesterday during the staff meeting, it's the first time I see my feet grow so big! I pressed it and the flesh didn't come back up! I shall do some research on how to elevate this condition. It's better when I lie down and sleep but during the day, it's horrible. It's not like it hurts, but just look ugly and feels stiff like a stone and can't move around as easy.

Baby is still doing fine, been moving around more. Can't wait to go back to St. Paul and see him in the ultrasound. Will have my structured ultrasound scan next time!!! Excited :) Will ask doctor to show me again if it's a boy or a girl. Mom said if I like sour stuff, it's a girl and a lot of my colleague thought it's a girl! (poor son!) And yes I do fancy grapefruits all of a sudden even though it's sour as hell and it kinda hurt one of my teeth :)

Anyway will update later!

51 First Dates

Anyone who has watched 51 First Dates will understand how I feel being pregnant and have no memory at all! I found myself forgetting things which I normally won't forget. The night before last night, I forgot to take my night pill *sigh*. I hope this won't get any worse.

I feel like my mom now. When I was counting exercise books in school and once I finish counting and put the books down and get ready to write down the number and guess what, I forget! *sigh, count AGAIN* !!

This is really annoying.....

Xiao bao is on lesson 2 now :) I think he likes his lesson because he tends to move around a lot more. Or it could be because I was lying down relaxing too. He doesn't like it when I was marking non-stop yesterday in school! hehehe :)

Little flutters

It's been awhile since I last updated here. Second trimester is really a *lot* better than the first three month. A lot less nausea and throw-ups. Sometimes only in the morning. Today is another lucky day that I throw up but I am not expecting it everyday.

Started using Babyplus since last Monday, it's been good so far, I did feel tummy moving (what they called 'flutters', I hope I am right because it does feel like something's moving inside where the babyplus machine is. Or could it be just my tummy acting up? Can't wait for some more kicking! Bring it on :)

Today is the first day of our assessment and we've already finished the oral assessment yay! Waiting patiently and looking forward to lunch date with hubby and his classmates :)

Good news!

It's been nearly a month now since my last entry. A lot has happened this month. Been sick again and had to take pills. Was a bit of an adventure. Some pills were Category B type, best not take those. Though I had a really bad cough, it's hurting my chest and my back when I coughed and I even threw up right after. But that's in the past now!

H1N1 is still around, but we stop wearing mask in school now, only wear ones if we go into the hall. I couldn't breath during lesson if I am wearing masks and it gives me headache shortly after too, so that wasn't ideal.

Last night we went for my third checkup. Got my blood test result bad. I did very well! :D Baby is as healthy as a horse! Though during ultrasound, he's not moving as much this time, doctor's trying to budge him around so that we can see more of him, but we couldn't, apart from measuring the size of his head, doctor only got to measure his thigh bones. They are all in normal range of size, so that is good :) Hopefully next time baby will cooperate!

Starting next week, I can use BabyPlus! Kinda looking forward to it. I can't wait to feel my baby moves inside me. It sounds freaky but I am sure it feels wonderful, at least it's how every other mothers have told me so far :)

Last night doctor told me, for the first time, that I shouldn't eat sweet stuff and I have to control on carbohydrates. I told him I have been having 2 scoops of ice-cream for about 3 days. I saw the look on his face - shocked - looks like 2 scoops is a lot eh! oops :/ I now can only eat vegetables, no limits on milk, egg, vegetables and fruits. The sweet from fruits is fine he said. But big no no to durian! But I like that fruit a lot ... use to fight to eat the last piece with mom heh ^_^ ah well.... the sacrifice I have to make for my baby!

Cutting down on carbohydrates, I asked doctor what CAN I eat then! He said I can eat meat! haha. He said 'since you have to control your weight now, you don't want to get too fat or getting the baby too fat' well doh! But how is eating meat NOT makes me fat. If my mom heard it, she would say 'bull-shittttt' lol

Got two more types of vitamins to take from the hospital. Instead of remembing taking 1 pill a day before, now I have to remember to take 2! Best not miss any :/ baby needs those...

Colleagues bought me a proper maternity dress yesterday, very grateful for them. So cute ! ^_^
Thanks Angela, Claudia and Yau!!!!! :D
