25 Weeks !!

Hey everyone!!!
Im sorry its been so long since ive done an update!!
Well... im not sure what to say .. haha.. its been a month since my last update.. n not a whole HEAP has happened.

I have definately noticed alot more movement lately... probably in the last 2 weeks he has begun to move alot more noticably and causing me some discomfort :(

Some days .. well MOST days .. there is a certain spot near my belly button towards the left where i think either a foot or elbow of his is pushing outwards n does not stop for hours!! ..Some days it helps when im sitting and i only notice it when im standing up an walking. I have tried massaging it and pushing on it to push him out of the way ... but it never works :S ... so kind of annoying and painful!!! I think today (the 12th of may ) i got a little kick to the ribs .. i was sittig in an awkward position and i felt something push on my ribs .. n its kinda hurt but surprised me more haha ... weird feeling!

Hmm ... i have been sick with the flue last week and the week before.. that was a real annoyance.. just felt totally lousy and had rough nights with sleep ..

Speaking of sleep lately my acid reflux has been TERRIBLE!! To the point where it is waking me up in cronic pain feeling like my throat is burning with fire inside and is going to burn away my throat ... its horrible horrible horrible!!!.. apparently tyson read that it can sometimes be caused by the baby growing hair?? i dont know about that lol.. but ill look further into it haha .. interesting if its true!

Another annoying thing is blood noses and more nose stuffyness... its making my throat so dry and making me gag again in the mornings :(

Surprisingly my appetite is not that big!! ... im actually fine with eating two meals a daay .... sometimes i just get so destracted and i dont think about eating... i try to eat healthily .. i rarely have junkfood.. maybe once a week? hmm

my biggest caving is anything that has chocolate in it .. or an eggy/ creamy custard .. like creme brule .. or custard or tarts... ANYTHING like that makes me happy haha ..

stil cant eat any tomato products or fresh tomato .. makes me sick :( so no pizza or red pasta for me!

i am so in love with sashimi (salmon) i heard its not terrible to eat during pregnancy as it has alot of omega 3 fatty stuff in it .. but some people debate that it has mercury in it .. whoch i dont think is true.. s ive been having small amounts of that.. which makes me happy too!!! :D

not much else has been happening .. went to my doctor yesterday and had check up and saw the baby .. ill upload some 3D and 4D ( real time ..aka moving image) pictures!!
I havent put on too muh weight.. that is why he said that my tummy isnt very big ..and i wasnt super duper skinny before the pregnancy .. so theres stil a layer of fat hidding my tummy.. even though it still looks liek a pregnant belly i only look about 4 months ..when i am in fact 6 ... so he thinks that i will be VERY noticably pregnant by at the most 32 weeks .. so only a few more weeks and ill have that " get out of my way" pregnant belly!! haha !!

I finally bougt some maternity jeans today with my birthday money!! woo!! ... been like months with no pants . n tryign to squeeze into my pre-pregnancy jeans which were starting to get a little too tight .. so i am very happy with them !!
I am still on the look out for some tops to wear.. as im running low on those. haha ..also a new pair of shoes is needed !

Some good news .. i may have a job !! finally! for june/ july! the pay is quite good too which is a bonus concidering in singapore the highest is around $7 - $8 an hour... n thats concidered good pay!! .. so id say mine would be EXCELENT pay haha .. so im very greatful :) it will be good to earn some money so i can start to buy the things i need on my own .. such as baby stuff .. nursery things and items for myself. :D

hmm not much else is going on accept on my birthday it was the worst bday ive ever had by far.... just totally annoying and dissapointing .. firstly i have wanted to get hair extensions for ages.. so i got them done. . they were great!! couldnt even tell they were there and they felt just like my own hair :D .. well the salon that was reccomended to me was the salon next door .. which most of the hair extension clients go to to get their hair died if they want to change their colour etc..
So .. i had it all in mind of what i wanted.. i brought in pictures of the colour and everything. I was very prepared.. the hair stylist in the hair salon said he understands what i want and is no problem! .. HA .. boy did that turn out to be a lie.. i will write the series of events in a time line :

2 pm : hair extension shop .. getting my hair extensions done
4 pm : hair extensions done .. they looked great!
4:15 pm: into the salon next door
4:30pm: started on my hair with applying bleech.
...howveer long the bleech stayed in for : bleech was rinsed out .
5:30 pm ..maybe 6 : hair was bleech colour ... to be expected.. toner still needed to be applied... so they began applying the toner.. and at the same time doing my lowlights..
7:30 pm : rinsing my hair out
8 pm : my hair is grey /silver like a grandma's hair.
9 pm : after wondering wtf had happened n why my hair was ruined he says he can fix it ( the hair stylist) ..so beginds to put in MORE!!!! BLEEEECH!!
10 pm : hair goes back to bleech colour ... right about now im freaking out thinking all of my thin and fragile hair is going to fall out...at this point in time after sitting for about 8 hours .. with barely any food or drink and so tired and hormonal... i just burst into tears.. i could not keep my composure i just broke down .. mywhole birthday had been wasted on some stupid stylist who should never be allowed to touch someones hair. . so i was devstated ( still am! ) and just amazed at how sht of a day i had had which was supposd to be a day that i was going to be happy with new long pretty hair....so anyways..then he bagan to test all the different colours toners to find the best one..
11pm: toner is washed out and well it turned out a sandy blonde / strawberry blonde disgusting colour ... n my hair was like like straw and completely ruined. Not to mention the extensions which originally felt like my soft hair .. now were ruined completely and felt like barn straw . pathetic. he then began to style my hair into curls ...just to hide the fact of how screwed up my hair was..
11:30 pm: my hair was done... guess what . . wow another 30 mins n my birthday is over... boy was i f***ing pised off ... so i went next door to the extension place ( which they had ben waiting around for me to be done) n just sat on the couch n was exhusted ... they were so appologetic n furious with the hair salon .. i kept reminding them its not their fault because their job was done brilliantly ..its the sallon that F'd it up ... so they said to come back n get it re -done .

while i was sitting in the extension shop , next door tyson was arguing with the stylist and the owners of the hair salon about how much they have ruined my hair and that who knows it might all fall out because of them . . BASTARDS!!!! ARGH!! .. so he was inisting on them giving my money back for the extensions out of their own pocket or he will go to the singapore consumer board and the police and file a report.. n that they will end up paying us thousands in legal fees etc.. so after he was arguing with them they gave me back my money that i spent on the hair extensions .. GOOD!

Man i was just fuming ..but too tired n drained to show it .. i hadnt eaten a propper meal that day other than breakfast. and it was now midnight so what the hell is going to be open except for shit take away food liek Mc Donalds.. i really didnt want to put that stuff in my body ... so tyson n i walked around orchard rd ( shopping district ) and finally came to a place called the Coffee Club .. which i remembered is open 24 hours and serves sandiwhes n propper meals and coffee etc... awesome place!! and very well priced too!! .. so we ate there n the food was amazing and felt good to put food in our stomachs !! ..

so that was my birthday ! .. completely ruined and no fun at all .. so i wil never recomend anyone to go to that salon .. i was write reviews in blogs and forums so everone knows never to go there unless they want their hair to fall out ...


So anyways.. i have since gone to mum n dads hair salon n had my hair died dark brown / auburn .. and it turned out really well.. except my hair is sstill ruined by that bastard ... and is now so short almost to a bob thanks to him. so after the other life saving salon i went back to the hair extension place and replaced my hair extensions and now they feel perfectly new and i got discount n everything so it wasnt anywhere near as expnsive as before :) yay!! I am still worried about the texture of my hair.. as im having some hair falling from the top ofmy head ( my own hair) so im freaking out n hoping that i dont loose all my hair. or ill have to wear a wiG!!!!!!!!!! ahhh!!!!

So thats what has been going on in the past few weeks... some good n some bad...

hmm im not sure what else to talk about ... ill post up a picture of my hair when i get around to taking a picture haha .. but now ill put in the ultrasound pictures ..




He was about to yawn! hehe





His face font on





About to yawn again in 4D (real time - meaning i was watching him move )

20 Weeks

Hey everyone ,

Not much of an update .... things are pretty much the same .. my appointment is next Monday at 4:15 singapore time .. so ill be sure to update then !I will be 21 Weeks tomorrow ...so hopefully at my appointment i will get some good pictures haha :) .. anyways here are some tummy pictures for week 20 ... ( sorry they are really bad ... cant be bothered taking new ones .. they just keep turning out bad .. but u get the idea i guess ) ..

Baby stats:

Size: 10.5 inches ( 27 cm!!! woah!!! )
Weight: 1 pound ! ( woah fatty !! )

Almost Half Way!

Hey everyone!!
Hope you are all doing well =)
well at the moment i am 19 Weeks and 4 Days ... ALMOST HALF WAY!! wow!! going by so quickly!! is kinda crazy!!

Well as i said in my last post my vitamins were on a very high dosage .. NOT GOOD! .. so i tried just taking one tablet that my gyno gave to me in his office (the other two pills were given by the nurse at the pharmacy) ..so i did that for two days last week .. and i immediately started feeling better.. nausea had gone and my feeling of being lathargic and just super run down had gone :) yay! .. so on friday last week, i decided to should double check with my gyno if im doing the right thing ... so i rang him n he said yep that i should be only taking the pills he gave me and hes glad i did research and decided to cut down and that i was feeling sick as my body was trying to get rid of all the extra. So now thats sorted :) much better!

However... my headaches are back ... they are bugging me so much .. its like my whole head from front to back is throbbing and i swear i can hear it throbbing haha .. im not sure why i keep getting them ... must be hormones and dehydration (even though im keeping hydrated) not sue.. but i know some women suffer badly from headaches in pregnancy .. so im hoping they stop soon!! and being in hot weather doesnt help!

Hmm what else... umm .. i have noticed a pattern with the baby! Well.. his sleeping pattern .. hahah .. every night .. at around 8 pm he wakes up n i feel him move... i rarely feel him move during the day .. always has me worried n then he will start moving at about 8 for an hour or so .. then he stops .. then at around 12 or 12:30 am he wakes up again and moves alot .. he doesnt wake me up yet when im sleeping .. but im sure when he gets bigger he will be stronger n wil keep me awake haha .. WOO looking forward to that.. hahaah hmm

Also i have noticed that when he is awake i get bad heart burn / acid reflux ... geez .. annoying!! haha

hmm .. im a burpy pregnant woman .. gas comes with a bundle of joy unfortunately haha ..

I'm still getting ligament pain in my abdomen area ......i dunno .. one of my friends said "hmm heavy baby" so im hoping for my sake SHES WRONG! hahah .. i think at my next appointment i will ask my gynocologist when he will start to weigh the baby ..

At my next appointment, i will be 21 weeks .. i will be having my detailed ultrasound .. or also known as FAS ( fetal anomalies screening ) .. apparently its very detailed n i should get lots of good pictures of him ... so im hoping thats true .. as i have to pay extra for the ultrasound .. so better get good pictures this time round .. coz last appointment was a dissapointment !! grr (grudge haha)

Not much else to report .. Tyson bought me a new dress :) aww yay!!! n its comfy :) and will grow with my belly ... ill take a picture some day ..its good .. as i have no pants.. so = nothing to wear .. n not allowed to buy anything so tys bought me a dress i liked =D so nice of him! :) so heres me hoping i get money for my bday so i can buy myself some clothes to be comfy in !!

Oh! i have been having cravings galore!! haha
I shall list them for you:

Sushi




Really fatty Char Siew pork ! mmm





Doughnuts




Chocolate





Cream puffs




Coffee




Bubble Tea

And thats about it .. haah .. real pain .. i still havent gotten my doughnuts or cream puffs or fatty char siew pork .. but i did et my sushi , chocolate and coffee in the form of bubble tea !! how clever !! haha
so i shall hunt down doughnuts and crwam puffs and go to the place Elisa reccomended for the best fatty char siew :D woo!!

Okies thats about all for this update.. sorry i didnt update last weeks ( week 18) .. but it was pretty boring .. so is this week .. but all thats happening is in here =D

Not much is new.. bby is getting bigger... about 5.5- 6 inches now soo about 15 cm .. still so small but growing fast!

Oh in other news. .my doctor hastred to OVERDOSE me on my vitamins hahah ... well not in a purpose way i dont think .. (HOPES!) but im taking way too many micro grams of vitamins in my tablet..so now im cutting down to taking one tablet which has plenty of vitamins in it that the other two tablet have..

The Jungle stickers :)

New Cot Bedding!

Heya .. just another post... quick this time .. These are pictures of another bed set mum made today =) .. it looks nice .. i suppose better to see in real life coz the colour of the blue is kind of off .. but oh well! Best i can do!!



Anyways .. only thing to note is that mum sewed the sheet fabric as te ties ( same as the other cot set) onto the bumper , so the other green ties are ticked under the matress and the bumper has been flipped over .. so i can change it whenever i change the bedding , by just flipping the bumper over ! Easy peasy!!



Okies thats all for now!



C ya!

The Sex and New Products!

Hey everyone!
Hopeyou are all doing well ... I have spoken to ome of you that read this so for some you already know that I am having a baby Boy =) Not much happened at my appointment .. i was pretty dissapointed after waiting a month see the baby , and he didnt even show me him or take a crown to rump measurement .. all he did was check for the sex and check the measurements of the baby's head ..

Head = 5.1 cm
Head Circumfrence= 14.5 cm

Also i tol him about the pains i have been having early morning when i go to the bathroom .. its like all my musles are contracting and realy hurts.. so he was looking around and then found that i have an amniotic Band which is attached to both sides of my uterus towards the bottom left or right i cant remember haha everything looks so different on te scan i was confussed.. but anyways.. he didnt actually tell me what it meant because he said it was ok n that the baby wasnt being interfered by it .. He was quite vague at my appointment which upset me quite a bit and ruined my day .. thre is a lon story as to why he pissed me off but im not going to go through it .. it may bore you haha . but if u want to know ..just ask me personally or write a comment on here .. Anyways .. so i dont know how big the baby is but im presuming going by the books the baby is around 14 - 14.5 cm ..

So back onto the Amniotic Band ... i researched it alll last night .. and now im quite shitting myself.. excuse the language .. but yes it has scared me .. because these bands can cause many problems with the baby if it interfers with the baby's growth .. it can cause severe deformities and limb loss .. it is stressing me out big time as i dont want anything bad to happen to him =( ..even though he said its not near the baby im worried that the baby will get closer to it and get caught up in the band .. there isnt anything i can do .. so i suppose worrying isnt going to help ... I told mum whatthey are n what can happen and she said to just wait untill my next months appointment... so im going to have to wait ANOTHER whole month before i can see if everything is ok .. and im hoping there are no deformities and that the amniotic band will have dissapeared .. as it is quite common for the to just vanish .. so im praying it just goes away . . as it can also cause premature labor or for your baby to be in thebreech position ... so yeah a bit concerning .. but im trying not to worry about it .. =)

Okies well not much else.. i got new vitamins .. i now take like 3 differet pills every morning lol ... like vitamin d and more folic acid and omega 3 and calcium and more and more different types of vitamins paced into all 3 .. kind of annoying .. but they are clever .. they have coated them so thy taste nice for pregnant women haha .. YAY!!otherwise i think i would be gagging too much haha .. got enough of that already!

Annndd... today i got my pram delivered... and thats about it .. So i will upload photos of the ultrasound .( they are crap and there isnt many .. sorry =[ ) and also will upload some pictures of the baby's crib and crib set that mum made ( its not finished yet though ) ..and also will put pictures of the pram up :)

Stay well !!

My Amniotic Band

The top of his Head (brain inside .. not an air head!! =) )

This is showing its a boy .. you can see there is the buttocks and then the thighs .. and where the little mouse is pointing is his willeeee =) .. i know hard to explain how to look at an ultrasound in words.. sorry !!




My Belly at 17 Weeks 3 days




My bare belly! (sorry a bit revealing!)



THE PRAM!





know to explain this pram . . there are three different ways you can use this pram .. it can be used for when the baby is older say 9 months onwards maybe .. or maybe earlier like 6 months? it can also be reclined to lay down flat =)





Another angle




With the sun viser down =)




This is anothe attachment of the pram , more for newborns an is is a basinet type carrier... its very dark in there s it llows them to sleep and has plenty of room and is comfy and soft :) .. it also as youcan see has a coer at the bottom of it which can be taken off ..




Another View




This is the maxi Cosi which i posted a piture of a few weeks ago when i bought it .. i fits the prams fram and cliks in .. very handy and can b used for new borns up to 12 months :) i also bought an extrainsertion to ake it moresoft and comfy and also to support a new borns head !




The handle of the Pram can also be flipped around the other way , however i like to be facing the baby not away from it ..not untill its older .. and the handle can also be height adjusted :)




And another angle



THE COT!






Here is the cot set mum made :)
She made :
- A quilt (brown)
-A sheet (green and white) which is also a quilt cover so i can alternate
-A bumper





this is a close up of the bumper bow mum has put on to tie to the cot.. it is the same fabric as the green and white sheet/quilt cover =)




And a full shot of the cot again




Mum and i fell in love with th zig zag blanket/ throw rug .. so soft and pretty colours :)




Detailing of he fabrics =) very pretty .. i love it!!



Well tats all the updates for now .. there will be aother cot set coming up wichmum wil be sarting tomorrow :) im going to try help again, i wuld like to make my own pillow for the cot .. just a tiny baby one


The whole are of the cot and everything isnt finished .. There are some special jungle stickers i want to put on the wall of the cot which are really pretty .. i may add a picture in below this so u can see what they are :) they are re-usable and look like wall paper )

Ok everyone thas all or now!! hope you iked this HUGE post haha

and a shout out to all Family back in Melbourne!!! Wish yo could be here .. miss you all <3>

xXxXx

The 17th Week !

Hey everyone!
Today is the 17th week.. YAAYY ... and in two days time i will know the sex of this little studd haha ;-) I cant wait !! so excited!!! and after our appointment we have a hospital tour =D excited for that too ... Apparently at Raffles Hospital there are quite a few foreign nurss and midwives from England, Australia and New Zealand .. so thats good to know .. also there are local nurses as well but apparently they are much nicer than at other hospitals and take care of you very well and are very friendly ahaha so yay!!! I dont think i would be able to stand someone being rude or pissing me off while im in labour and tired etc.. haha .. so hopefully what i hear about Raffles is true ! Also their nursery is supposed to be very very good and the amount of babies to nurses is good as there are more nurses in the nursery than babies =) so plenty of care..But on monday i shal blog more about what it looks like etc and how the staff are =).

Well not much has been going on lately ...the buby has been moving round a bit more.. but has been kind of quiet the past day or two..so im hoping everything is ok .. should be!! However ive been very tired lately and have really bad cramping when i first wake up to go to the bathroom .. soo im going to ask the gynae about that and probably have to pee in a cup again haha ...how FUN!! :)

Hmmm... also at my next appointment i will be discussing with my gyno the cost and inclusions of my prenatal package with him .. so thats includes all of his costs and cost of delivery ... Here hoping its not too expensive coz i really really do not want to go through the process of finding another gyno .. real pain .. and im very comfortable with Dr K K Chow ..hes very friendly and gentle and always gives me lots of pictures after my ultrasounds heheh =) so pray he isnt tooo steep on the price!! even though he is very reputable .. but oh well!!

Well i think thats about it for the baby news ... But in other news... Jacquis birthday party was last night here in our Appartment building in the function rooom ... we set it up as a glow in the dark disco kind of party .. looked pretty cool .. the glowing worked .. just as usual kids barely danced... probab;y spent a whole 30 mins dancing out of like 5 hours of swimming in the pool .. haha .. oh well.. i think im kind of glad they spent most the time outside the room coz the amount of mess they made was ARGHHHHHHHHHH soo frustrating ... i spent 5 hours making her the cupcakes she wanted which were brownie cupcakes with butter cream icing and with decorations .. i did three different coloured icings ; Blue, Pink and Purple .. i have some pictures of them whic i will load up for you all ... but omg my feet were so sore after sanding trying to make it all and the kitchen was a mess and making the icing was no fun at all!!! Hahaha .. it took me about an hour maybe hour and a half to do the butter cream pain icing as i had to add a whole 1 kg of icing sugar one bit at a time while blending it n lets just say i was not happy!! haha .. then following that was putting the different coloured dyes into the icing and getting it right .. then doing the piping on the cupcakes and having to clean it and change it 3 times.. which was not fun!! However after all the hard work i was quite proud of the first batch of cupcakes i had made all on my own .. woo!!

So anyways .. what i was saying about the mess has to do with my cupcakes.. They all (n i mean 25 14 year old boys and girls)decided to have a cupcake fight inside the function room .. well i did not know this was happening as i was sitting outside the room ... well .. one kid comes out .. covered in my icing .. then another.. then one after that .. then three more .. so on and so on .. i walk in there .. almost slip over on the marble tiles.. because there was butter cream icing allllll over the floor and mushed up brownies all over the floor along with some sprite and coke .. i couldnt believe this .. so i took al their towels and mopped it al up .. serves them right i say to have sticky icing covered towels for ruining my cupcakes and the function room ... so as you can imagine i went spastic at my sister for letting them do that .. n she wouldnt clean it so i had to .. it was a royal pain in the ass n it didnt stop there... table top dancing .. being noisy in the pool swearing .. popping all the balloons ..

well all i can say is .. THANK GOD THE NIGHT IS OVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! never again will i offer to make kids nice cupcakes coz they just arent matue anough obviously to enjoy them ... but anyways i shall upload a picture for you too see ...

(oh! and btw .. baby just kicked or pushed .. one of them haha .. yay ! so all is good ! )

This is one batch oh and the the really big pink one is Jacqui's

Just a close up .. sorry they are a bit blury ....

Okies well no other photos will upload at this time .. so i give up hahah .. anyways .. thats about all for nnow .. i may do a tummy photo on monday or something .. not much different .. which is kind of annoying hahah but yeah if and when i upload ultrasound photos ill do a tummy photo too ..

Oh .. baby stats :

5.5 inches = 14 cm
babies bones are getting stronger
moving around more
annnd thats about alll hah .. not much new ...

Okies thats all for now talk soon!!
