Here we go again .... nearly 20 months later

Yes ... the difference?

We used only one tester (and a cheaper version) and a blood test at the gynae's clinic ... as compared to us going through this the first time

So, on the 12/5/2009, we were told that I am about 3 - 5 weeks pregnant. Doc wasn't so sure on the number of weeks and so, he ordered a blood test. During this time, 2nd baby kwee is about 0.4cm big ...

On 16/5/2009, we went back to see the doc ... he said that number 2 is about 4 weeks old and he is now 0.98cm long ... yes, during this time, I am constantly hungry and in a span of 5 days, I have put on 0.5kg ... I hope all goes well ...

We can't decide which gynae to use and I was torn between going to the first one (yes, the one who insisted that I go through the c-section before the edd) or the second one (supposedly more patient/supportive but not as kia see as the first) ... In the end, out of sheer need for convenience and also cost, I opted for the first. The check-up went well and he warned that since number 2 came quite soon after Caleb, chances of me going through another c-section is high... well, I am glad he told me this upfront and I think I know my body better now - unless I build up my stamina, I do not know if I got the stamina to go through a labour ... anyway, that is ten months down the road. If he is 'naughty', I will probably change gynae again ...

Thing(s) I want to change -

So far, things are still pretty alright. I can still taste the food without experiencing any funny after taste as compared to when I was having Caleb. I just started to swim and hopefully, this will be part of my exercise regime throughout this pregnancy ... just get the body ready. This was something that I did not do due to constant fatigue and puking-ness ...

Maybe sign up for massage ... body is not young anymore. Especially my back :( maybe I should ask auntie hawa to give me massage ... :)

Thinking hard if I should get a confinement nanny ... looking at the EDD, it would be around CNY and I think my mum would be busy and my bro may be out-stationed. So there is no one to ferry her to my house each morning, unlike when she did the confinement for me when Caleb was born ...

Maid? Hmmm, the thought is still not appealing ... maybe I will embrace the thought after a ton of unwashed laundry / unironed clothes fell upon me ...

the next visit to the doc is on the 6/6/2009 ....
