Week 8- I saw you again...

Exciting weekend. Met with Dr Fong, and I finally just have a normal scan at the tummy. And there it was. The Lil one peeking at me with a strong sounding heartbeat. In all the excitement we forgot to take pictures or get the scan pic. Geeez.... So much for paying the friggin weekend charge.

dr Fong is happy that I am eating well....no signs of nausea....no signs of anything except super painful boobs. Which he deduce will most likely follow me thru out the 9 months. Boo....

Had a nice retail therapy with Trish. After her recent breakup, guess its good to get her out to join me and V for a movie. We watched World War Z ...which was quite exciting I must say. I think I do get a kick out of seeing zombies. Hahaha abit gory but yeah...it's awesome!!

Ok...shall stop here. Dreading Monday tomorrow...dreading work...wish I can call in sick... Geez...till next post....

NOTE to myself....am trying to see more cute pictures of babies....and of coz praying fervently daily to the Lil one. 

Time to see U again.

Well it's 8th week now. This satty I will be seeing the Lil miracle again. Surreal but yeah...

So far so good... Been eating none stop. Maybe coz my palate is so limited, so far all edible. And NO I have no special cravings for fruits especially durians. V is like omg what if the Lil one like durian...*major roll eyes

Finally told immediate families, and I am thankful they are all so enthusiastic about the Lil one. But seriously take a chill pill. Will show you the list my eager SIL (recent mother) shared with me....

Oh well...I have been saying my nightly prayers, eating my supplements, eating my apples, eating variety of veges....hopefully ok...abit constipated ...Yakult is helping me...hopefully no prune juice required...

A miracle in the making

Tadaaaa.... It is quite amazing just after 1 week I can hear the heartbeat and Lil VNA has grown a few mm.

I really wanna thank God for his blessings and may he continue to bless my pregnancy and bless this Lil miracle growing inside me. Strong, healthy, good looking, and god fearing child is what I sincerely pray for everyday....

God bless me to eat healthily and responsibly. 

Amen....

1 more week to our big move...bye bye woodlands!!!

Looking forward to this Satty

Another milestone this weekend. Am looking forward to hearing the heartbeat @ week 6.

Am praying fervently for a good healthy growth. Faithfully taking my vits and trying to eat more vegs. It is really hard to stomach fruits. Mere thought of fruits super bleargh

Still have not told my mum. Guess wait till we hear the heartbeat before revealing the big news. So surreal to be keeping such a news from my family and friends. :)

I have been so tired....so trying to sleep slightly earlier and so easily hungry. thanks to my dear V, faithfully driving me around to eat my favourite things. Love that.

On the flip side been really busy with house moving. Am worried once i tell my mum, she sure will say no to moving here and there. Of coz not like i will super care. Will try to avoid whenever possible, but what a timing. We just sold off our red couch, tv console, dining table, shelves & bed frames. Geeeez so sad to see such an empty house. The house that had been our lovenest for the past 5 years.

Emo time!

ok thats the update for now....

In self denial..i need to talk about IT

Congratulations! Your baby is due on or around:

4 weeks pregnant (Recalculate)

• Your baby is about the size of a poppy seed

I have not told anyone not even my parents. Between me and V we just been smiling at each other and basically me torturing him with lil things like fetching me water!! kekeke

Unless you are still a faithful reader of my blog (like SJ) then  yeah you will know about this NEWs too. 

So far doc had taken 3 vials of blood from me to ensure baby is growing and all came back positive. Like its doubling every 2 days. 

As it is, my food palate already very minimum. Now it seems to be shrinking further. Well technically i need to add fruits!!! bleargh...veg i can try but fruits are really gross!! 

Oh dear...how now brown cow!!!!

geeeez
