On a bored note

Hey hey!

just a quick update.. not much is going on.. i drawing near the end of my 10th week and into my 11th!! omg almost end of frst trimester already!!!! I just hope that everything is fine in that tummy haha =)

Not long untill my 12 week scan. . hopefullywe will hear our bubs heart beat and see him/ her move around a little bit hehe =D ... Speaking of the scan.. i still havent found a gynea yet!!! .. sooo .. Tyson and I are going to go look around at hospitals and ask for the most recomended gynea's at the hospital / clinic.

I think we are going to check out Thompson Medical Center (TMC) , KKH , and NUH .. might check out Mt Elizabeth .. not sure.. i know its quite expensive. But what is most important to me firstly is how the staff treat us while we go on our tours, secondly the facilities .. the rooms need to be comfortable and spacious .. there needs to be room for tyson to stay for the couple of days i will be there ( .. dont want him to miss the acton hahah! ) also they need to have birthing pools ( baths - maybe even hydro baths for relaxation especially during labor! gah!! ) and showers. . the food doesnt bother me .. dont think i will be eating much ..at least not till after the birth hahah .. Having a tv would be quite good however.. something to distract me ..hmmm i dunno what else.. i think thats about it with my expectations .. well actually one of the most important things is that the place is flexible with our own birthing plan .. flexibility with how i feel comfortable giving birth etc.. because i know some hospitals do it one way and one way only.. i want to be free to do what i feel is right and more comfortable for me =) ..hopefully not too much to ask for !

Basically i am just hoping for a natural birth as much as possible.. i want to avoid an epidural .. try and battle through it haha but if its too much to bare i might get some pain killer shot or something .. whatever else they offer. But yeah I would love to have a water birth but im not sure if they do that in singapore ..so im hoping that laboring in a bath tub will ease my pain a bit and take pressure off. . =) .. ok im completly rambling. . im a little bored if you haven't noticed hahah.

So anyways .. nearing the end of week 10 and im going pretty good .. feeling sick off and on .. but i think its more related to a hunger sick .. eg: in the mornings .. lunch time and really late at night. . . hmmm ive been getting alot more tired at around 4:30 / 5 .. like exhusted .. no matter what im doing i could collapse and fall asleep right away!! haha .. hmm im getting dizzy alot too .. which sucks :(

what else... Oh .. last but not least , i am growing a more noticable belly now!! hehehe .. mum told me today .. she said " ive noticed your tummy is getting rounder and harder .. much more noticeable .. especially from the side" hehe .. and i notice now when i give tyson a hug i fel my tummy pressing against him alot more!!! so its growing!!! soon ill be huge i reckon haha!! big prego lady comin through!!!

anyways .. the next post will be about week 11 .. maybe.. if anything has changed.. may post about the hospitals and clinics we have visited =)

and the next post will be ultrasound pictures.. and maybe even a video if i can get one of those!!! fingers crossed!!! and i may put up pics of my belly =)

okies talk soon

Just some Stuff

Well .. this blog isnt really a blog haha. I have had a request to put up pictures of things we have bought for the baby =) ..
so today i'll gradually add photos. There's quite a bit so ill try not to put too many up!



In the picture:

Jumpsuit
Pacifiers
Booties
Hat
Mittens


The jumpsuit is gorgeous and is for those 6 months old. I originally i bought one for a 1 month old, but it looked a tad bit too small, so i changed it and got this one!

Anyways, i got this from a beautful french design boutique type store from Tanglin Mall called Chateau de Sable. It has some adorable things so go check it out!
Not too expensive either. The jumpsuit cost me only $24 =)

I think my favourite things are the two dummies ( pacifiers) that are ontop of the jumpsuit =D they are so cute ..

One says i love mama and the other says papa is the best =D how cute!!! Tyson loves them too =)

We also got was a little beanie and mittens that match from my mum, and my little sisters bought some tiny socks from the same french place as the jumpsuit, GORGEOUS !!!

That's it for all that i've gotten so far =D


ok time to add the rest of the photos !!

I cant really be bothered saying where ever piece is from and what it is haha .. I'll only do a brief description of items that may not be so obvious .. which isnt many haha ..




These are blankies. . the one with the rabit is so cuddly .. my mum bought the rabit seperately and sewed it onto the blanket =) too cute!


















These are the nappy covers .. simple , plain .. but much neater looking than showing the nappy on its own . They also give you extra coverage!!!




These are just some little tos we have gotten for our little one ... the two round toys are teething toys and rattle .. very cute! and the other toys are for bath time with a ducky boat and whale!





This is the brand of bottles we have gotten .. i think we have 6 all together at the momnt with spare teats. It is a japanese brand. Very good quality and no danger of harsh chemicals beng released into the milk. =)




This is a cute little thing so our baby can sleep in between us on the bed or next to one of us so we dont roll over onto the baby..and so the bub doesnt roll around either. They are also good to put in their cot so the baby doesnt move around too much =) It is all made of breathable fabric incase they end up face down into it, the bub can still breathe!

.....n i think thats about it so far! hahaha . i know i went a little crazy right!!! but it wil all be used for sure. theres so much stuff to buy! although everybody thinks diferentlly about what they want etc. So yes thats about it for now.


I had my blood / urine tests done week 8 for hepatitis , anitbodies rubella .. blood cell counts etc. . all is fine :) which is good!!! yay!



My next doctor appointment / ultrasound appoitment is in week 12 .. so two weeks away on the 4th of Febuary i will get to see my little buby again!!! =D .. so excited!!! I can feel my uterus growing at the moment as i have light cramping again which dissapeared after 7 weeks up untill 9 weeks they started again .. so i guess that is good news that our baby is growing :)


Ultrasound

I had an Ultrasound at 6 weeks 3 days .. it looks tiny .. I had to have a viginal scan as i had'nt consumed eough water before the ultrasound .. as i wasnt expecting to get one. I shall attach a photo!


6 Weeks 3 Days ( uterus measuring 8 cm ) *sorry it is so unclear*
That is about all at the moment . I will update in a coupl of weeks abut my next appointment .. unless something happens earlier =)



At the end of every week I have decided to write down how big the baby is measuring and uterus size and symptoms ect. =)

What's forming?


Bones and cartilage are forming
The small indentations on the legs are developing into knees and ankles!
The elbows on our bubs arms are now working and moving =)
Tiny buds of baby teeth are forming under the gums
Stomach is producing degestive juices
Kidneys are producing larger amounts of urine
And if its a boy, he will be already producing testosterone


Uterus size : a bit bigger than a grapefruit!

Symptoms: Month Three
