Week 35 scare

I went in Thomson Medical Centre on my own last sat, 23th May midnight. I was having diarrhoea which trigger sharp pain on right side of my tummy. Hubby has to stay at home to look after the kids, I quickly changed and took a cab to TMC. By the time I reached TMC, the pain was getting stronger. The midwife admitted me in and checked me. I was 2cm dilated and the contraction was getting stronger and frequent. Only week 35, of course I did not want baby to come out so early. I read and knew that Baby lung is not fully matured at week 35, so my gynae put me on drip to stop the contraction and injection to strengthen baby lung. From 12 am to 5am, slowly the contraction faded off and I was warded for 1 day observation. Cannot describe how I feel for that 5hours, I can only pray to tian gong and guan yin that everything will be fine for baby and me. After 1 day stay in TMC, I was given 20 hospitalisation leave to rest at home. Bed rest, since I have already dilated 2cm. Hopefully baby stay

My Motivation

Saw this from FB this morning. Children is truly my motivation to move on. When I saw this, my first thought is my 1st love Charis Lim. She is a wonderful darling all along when I have Gregory and baby. She is the one that always beside me, helping me, behaving herself. She is very sensible and independent that I don't have to worry for her. At times she will make me angry esp when I want peace and 2 of them are playing like they are going to tear down the house. When I know that she can do it but she is lazy or tired to think of the answer. Otherwise, she is very sweet and wonderful. I feel very blessed to have her as my daughter. so when I see this picture, my 1st in mind is Charis, my darling. Of course I cannot forget about my handsome boy Gregory. Sticky boy that never fail to make me laugh. Sensible like his sister, but more playful than his sister. Always like to tease his sister and make her angry. Kiss me so many round before I go to work every morning. Hold my hand on bu

Week 33 pregnancy

I am officially in week 33 today. Yesterday detailed scan was not ideal. The spot in baby liver did not disappear, in fact it grew bigger to 10mm now. Something to add to my worries but it is also something that is out of my control. I can only pray that it is harmless to baby. Dr wong said that since baby is growing well, the spot should not be a problem. I hope she is 100% right. Baby is a healthy and happy boy! At week 33, his kicks are very strong and powerful. I can feel him drilling downwards as the pain around pelvic area increases and his punching and kicking are strong that I feel so painful. Dr wong compared his weight to his jiejie and korkor. At week 33, Charis was about 2kg, Gregory was about 1.8kg and baby measured yesterday is about 2.248kg. He is the bigger among all and bcos he absorb and grow well, Dr wong ensure me that the spot should be harmless. Maybe it is just a Calcium deposit (bright spot/calcification). Monitoring and detailed scan after baby is born will be

Extremely stressed now

I don't feel good recently. I am quite surprised that I can hold it until now. Apart from my own work stress, one of colleague dropped a bomb that she want to quit due to work stress and my absence for 4 mth. Temp gal is inexperienced and slow in her work. A few close colleagues have tendered as well. Seriously I don't feel like going back to work after my maternity leave but I cannot. He is going out of job in june, based on the job market now and fresh graduate finding job, job seeking may take longer time. Now I am writing this page at TMC while waiting for my detailed scan. During the 20th week scan, baby had a spot in his liver, now I am waiting for my scan to check on the spot. Hopefully it has disappeared! I really need god strength to pass through this stage. 😔😔😔

Food for kids

Sometimes my friends still get a shock when they know that I still make porridge for my kids as lunch every weekend. No fancy meal, but packed with nutrition and love from me. Of course they will also eat what we eat when we are out for meal but porridge for lunch is something they will definitely get over the weekend. When we do not go out, I will cook for them too. I am glad that they are not picky. They simply eat what I cook. Sometimes they will request for certain food, if I have ingredients ready, I will cook for them. Sometimes when they do requests, it is very last time. I hope I can continue to cook for them even they are grown up :)
