Weight as at 23 Sept 2011

I am 55.9 kg today !
Baby = 1.7 kg
Baby's growth = 0.5 kg (1.7-1.2)

Gynae said she is growing quite fast and on the big side (but not super big).
And her head is supposed to be downwards but has rotated to the side, which makes her in a breech position  which is not at all good for delivery ! =(

We still have about 3 more weeks to "educate" her about the position. The best position is posterior position.

Baby, baby, please do mummy and yourself good by rotating to the right position ok?

ionized water

Has anyone tried ionized water?

I was wondering if baby can benefit from it.
Then again, I am afraid if being "too clean" since we also need some bacteria so that we can build up a stronger immune system.
Perhaps drink when she gets older?

my "Antidote"

I think I better note down all my major symptoms and antitdote before I forget.

Vitamins / Supplements III

Now I have to take 2 tablets each daily as baby is growing bigger. =(

1. Nata Boost (equivalent to Natal care Triplus Omega Fish Oil (625 mg)) 
2. Multivitamins (Vitamin Products > Prenavit Tablet) 
3. Calcium and Vitamin D (Calcium products > Suncal-D Tablet) 

The different between Nata Boost and Natal care Triplus is that the former is a plant-derived extract of DHA, thus also suitable for those who are vegetarians. The advantage is that it states that it contains no risk of ocean-bone pollutants of contamination. 

Actually I still prefer Natal care Triplus cos the softgel is "softer" even though the capsule is slightly bigger than Natal Boost. 

The Smurfs

I prefer the cartoon version to the movie.
Anyhow, it was entertaining.

Love the uplifting song too:



Hopefully, baby will think so too. ;)

Vomitted AGAIN !

I craved for kimchi ramen but seems like the spicy noodles doesn't go too well with baby. :(
So I ended up like a Merlion and daddy got me a fish burger from MOS Burger.
Can't wait for this ordeal to be over.....

Choosing Gynae II

I have just changed my gynae to Dr Kenneth Edward Lee instead of Dr Michele Lee after much deliberation:

1. Dr Michele Lee charges additional $200 for delivering at Mt.Alvernia since her clinic is affiliated to Thomson Medical Centre.
2. I would like to get myself familiarised with Mt. A. since I am delivering there and Dr Kenneth Edward Lee's clinic is there.
3. Dr K. E Lee's delivery fees are slightly more expensive than Dr M. Lee but not to the extent of being exorbitant.
4. I feel more at ease since he is more experienced. (although initially I mentioned that my gynae must be a female. seems like a male gynae is also not too bad afterall.)

On a side note, he is a very jovial and down to earth person, (but my hub's impression of him is "lao-beng"- haha.) Anyway, I believe I am in good hands. : )

Weight

Baby's weight is now 1.2 kg !

My weight gain is gradually increasing. Previously I was so afraid that I am under weight, but my gynae said I am doing well, so don't have to worry too much.

1st Trimester: 47.50; 48.20 kg
2nd Trimester: 13/8/2011- 51.20kg
3rd Trimester (beg): 13/9/2011- 54.30 kg

Baby must be at least 3 kg, so which means, I must at least be 58 kg++ by delivery to be at a healthy level.
^__^

Friso Milk !

I thought no harm trying the Friso milk sample which has been lying for quite a while.
BAD MOVE ! I vomited as soon as I drank it.
Daddy thought the milk smells nice with vanila flavour but oh gosh.
Apparently, our dearie doesn't think so. :(

Vitamins / Supplements II

Now that my nausea is not too bad, I try to take vitamins that my gynae prescribe:

1. Natal care Triplus Omega Fish Oil (625 mg)
2. Multivitamins (Vitamin Products > Prenavit Tablet) 
3. Calcium and Vitamin D (Calcium products > Suncal-D Tablet) 

All has to take 1 each daily. But depending on my condition, I sometimes take alternate days. Better than nothing  : (

It's a Girl !

 

I suspected it's a girl although many said my baby bump looks like a baby boy (urgh! those myths again....) when my appetite goes from meat to lemon cakes. Not that I hate meat after that, it's just the sudden craving for lemon cakes, chiffon, chocolate rolls. 

My parents in law didn't take it too well, they were like "why not boy?" kind of expression when I break the news. :( Still, they tried to sound encouraging and tactful. Well, having 2 nieces doesn't help-they thought they could have a little boy for a change, but at least I can have many pass-me-down nice baby gal clothings. :)

Hopefully everything goes well !

Business Trips

I have decided to forgo 2 business trips to China and France in May but I decided I could make it to KL at the end of June.

Conclusion: 
Extremely tired - even if it is just a one hour flight. The security during check-ins, walking in the airport, waiting for the flight......sigh.

If not for my boss and colleagues help in pulling my luggage and taking my laptop bag, I would not have made it. On the bright side, I am glad my boss is understanding enough - gee...I felt like I was the boss. haha. ok, maybe the princess. ;)
