.... realised that I have been complaining about puke-puke days ... ok, something for a change (though the puke-puke days are still hanging around....)
... Physical Changes
1. I can see the bump ... it gets more obvious after evening ... probably due to the bloating and the food i ate during the day ... hee hee ...can't wait for the bump to grow bigger ...
2. stretch marks ... er, i see that my skin is being stretched ... and for a while, I layed off on body lotion but no.... my skin became very crinkled ... esp the arms and legs ... so I am now using Johnson n Johnson ... if it is good on baby, it should be ok for adults ... but for the tummy area, i am sticking to what the doc gave me ....
3. Bloated breasts ... well, i supposed the body is preparing them for breast-feeding at a later stage ...
Physical Changes
Food Cravings
Food cravings …
One night, I was craving for mee rebus, mee soto and vegetarian bee hoon … I think I must be dreaming but the taste and the smell of these food seemed so real ….
Another night, I was watching TV with dearie … then this ang mo whipped up a burger … at that moment, the craving for a cheese burger striked me … we ordered a cheese burger from Mac .. was told that the waiting time will be an hour .. ok ..i’ll wait but it was pretty late and I was very tired …. In the end, the burger only arrived two hours later and we had already called back to cancel my order …. *bumpers….
The next day, I went to a Mac drive-thru to get my Cheeseburger … it was raining heavily and I am not really sure of my way back home … nevertheless, I did not eat the cheeseburger as I went and had porridge with Dearie at Long House …
Tomorrow, I am going to have my vegetarian bee hoon …. *yippee*
Thankfully, I have not reached the stage that "I die die want to eat that food" yet ... *keeping fingers crossed*
Counting ...
Going into my 11 weeks of being pregnant ….
And yesterday, I was happily telling dearie that I had stopped burping gas for two mornings … I take it as a good sign – that I am finally climbing out from the ‘morning’ sickness …
Lo and behold … the morning burp came back this morning … duh ….
Looking on the positive side – I see it as a reminder that I have another life inside me and these burp, burp, puke-puke days will probably only end when the tummy is more visible …
9W1D
@ 9w1d, we heard the bb kwee’s heart beat … it’s so cute … it doesn’t go on like thup-thup, thup-thup – like an adult but it like a buzzing noise …. Probably beating fast for him/her to grow …
During the scan, we saw bb kwee’s dancing .. haha – just like how papa kwee dances …
And when the doc took a snapshot of bb kwee, he/she striked a pose such that we can see him/her in full glory – the head, hands and feet are distinct …
So cute…
Update ...
Pregnancy has turned me into
1. a blur-er person … ya, I found myself spacing out most of the time … much to the ‘bewilderment’ of my hubby … ha ha ha
2. watching what I eat … I have to think twice, thrice before going for that sip of coffee, tea and coke …
3. a ‘homey’ person … I am still experiencing morning sickness, esp at night and I need to be home by the time the sun sets so that I can rest and hug the toilet bowl if the need arises …
4. seeing my mum more often … ha ha … it’s more like I go to her house almost everyday to get my daily dose of home-cooked food …. Previously, it was all about eating out …
5. not doing any housework – ya, the thought of doing housework makes me wanna puke …
6. getting lots of pampering from my dear hubby – yup – he cooked pasta for me after I saw people having yummy breakfast on TV … ha ha ha
7. sleeping early … I am in bed quite early most of the time nowadays – to prevent puking …
BTW, papa kwee said he is very happy
A little bit of comfort?
Read an article here - http://www.babyguide.co.uk/pregnancy/articles/morning_sickness.asp
and this last paragraph is comforting ...
As unpleasant as morning sickness can be, it is often a good sign, as it means that the baby and its surrounding environment are developing well.
echoes what my big boss told me yesterday ... to which i just gave her a tsked tsked face .. haha
One of those days again
One of those days … again …
I dun feel good sitting, standing, lying or whatever …
Argh … this is so frustrating …
My lips are cracking due to a reduced intake of water …
And the puke is stuck somewhere inside, refusing to come out …
food (un)glorious food
Hmm, the initial ‘joy’ of being able to eat all that I want is turning into not so great a joy …
Gradually, my body is making changes … after each meal, i would either begin to feel sleepy and in a desparate need to sleep … if not, my stomach would be over taken by the queasy feeling and soon, I feel like puking … I try to make loud burping sound – to force out the extra air in my stomach …that relieves me for a while but it won’t be long before the puk-y feeling comes again …
Nothing I eat can seem permanently to relieve this yucky feeling … =(
And the feeling only get worst at night … and by night time, I would feel cold and tired and hungry and all the more puky … thankfully, I have my mama’s hot soup to tide me over at night … the warm soup can help to soothe the uneasy stomach and help me get to sleep – all wrapped in blankie and shawl … and I am really thankful that sleep is the only relief for me …
4w1d
it's 4w1d old ... your edd - 11.07.08 ...
this was what the gynae said ...
we asked, can it be due on 15.07.08? then the bb will share the same bdae with mummy ...
doc says, dun ask me ... tell the one inside ...
ha ha
it's a nice feeling - being pregnant ... but life is certainly changing ... at least in terms of food ...
instead of taking 3 meals, i am taking more food.... there is the constant feeling of being hungry at every other hour - according to the doc, it's normal...
=)
The Sign
The joy and the suspense …
That’s what we felt …
When the sign shows positive …
At first we did not dare to believe …
I said, let’s try again tomorrow morning …
The next day, dearie was still in bed …
I went ahead to try …
Guess my movement woke him up coz he came in shortly after to see the results …
It’s positive ….
Better not take chance, let’s go and see the gynae …
At the clinic, we waited for our turn or rather, we waited for my bladder to be full so that the doc can do a scan …
Nothing … cant see anything … maybe it is still in its early stage …
Took some blood from me to test … will know the results either in the afternoon or the next day …
Tested again … bought the cheapest … but this time, results is not so clear …
Dearie wants to know … so he bought the digital one for me to test … and yes .. the sign says “pregnant” …
p.s we spent a bomb just doing the testing, affirming and testing alone … ha ha ha
