roxy,

Re: tummy size

Ok leh after seeing everyone i tink i am normal

smaller than Tera one but slightly bigger than some i guess, but mine is 20 weeks ored early June/Late may EDD so can be faster than u all.

Re cordyceps

I only cook abt 8 strands but also close to 10 strands, but i only take 5 strands the rest i let hb took some. 5 strands ored heaty for me.

Medical hall says cannot cook every week. I remember they say either 2 weeks or once a mth but definitely cannot every week.

Re bb clothes

No i dun have hand downs.. dun tink its likely, so i also not sure wat to buy lor.

 

[feliciarosey]

Ellysia/ piyo,

does your gals draw attention from the public? hehe....

 

[secret_garden]

hi mummies,
anyone here does detailed scan at 19th week??

 

[secret_garden]

Hi Felicia,
Not yet! maybe the next few lunches? I must say most of us (excluding me) all san san! don even look preggie!

 

[ellysia]

luz,

I can walk to tanjong pagar from work. Where is the place?

 

[zuen]

Roxy,
Thanks! I bet my Edd will be pushed back oso. 6 June was based on my LMP, which is 30 Aug 07. But my cycle is a 34 to 36 days cycle and I normally O late on CD18, so I dun think the Edd is accurate. You already in wk 20/21??!! I always tot I am in 19/20, but after the scan (last mon), it was brought to 17th week. So I should be starting my 18th week today. -.o" Will be seeing the doc later and asked him more.

Luz,
Not accurate lah. I dreamt 2x that ZuEn is a boy but now she's a princess and I dreamt that my triple test results = ok, but turned out I have to go amnio test. For me, dreams are a reflection of my desires lah. Think too much in the day liao. ;p

Felicia,
I want to suggest cheapo ideas.. Dun open the gift, give to the next somebody (not so close ones) who have a bb. Hehe.

[ellysia]

Felicia,

Didn't attract attention yet cos i guess all of us tummy not v big esp when we sit down lor.

But i can recognize the rest when i came (i am the latest) but just want to double confirm so i call morraine.

 

[feliciarosey]

piyo,

wow! all sexy mum lah!hehe...
Though i'm just into wk17, but my tummy is consider quite big oledi.My MIL always said i look like 5-6mths pregnant. haha.... maybe i'm big sized.

 

[morraine]

<font color="0000ff">yeah not so bad coz we all stil dun look VERY pregnant.. haha.. </font>

 

[ellysia]

Tera,

U still can rush back in time hee, u manage to catch a cab so soon?

Nowadays at least a lot more cab cos due to cab fare increase, less people take.

But really like my daily morn cab fare, is really v expensive lor. Range $18 to $26 (depending whether got jam or not).

 

[ellysia]

Notice most of u all didn't put on much makeup/light makeup.

Guess preggy better dun put on too much makeup - chemicals.

Me lazy to put makeup during work.. now even more lazy dun even put lipstick

 

[teragram]

Ellysia,
Yah, just as we reach the taxi-stand, there was an empty cab. It was quite fast, made it back to office in 10 min.

 

[secret_garden]

Ellysia,
thk you dun need to put makeup! you are very fair!

 

[feliciarosey]

about makeup, i very 'kiasi'. I dont even put lipsticks as i afraid i 'eat' the lipsticks contain when i drink or eat something.

 

[morraine]

<font color="0000ff">ha ha yeah we all hailed one mercs cab for her to travel bac asap!!

ellysia~

[ellysia]

despite our pregnancy.

 

[ellysia]

morraine,

Merc cab so good? Hee

Me cos i dun have to meet customers often unless got big complaints or impt customers. So normally i just dun put anyting.. then if got impt meeting then i put lip gloss too

Felicia,

Yup me also dare not put lipstick/lipgloss in case i eat them when eating.. then not sure will affect bb or not.

 

[toscaong]

hi gals ! it was fun to meet up and put a face to your nicks !!! heeheee

must do this more often

and yes round table pls !!

 

[ellysia]

Yup must have round table, didn't have chance to tok to some cos i am sitting at far corner le.

Luckily i tot of the idea to sneak out and back else dun tink i can have time to eat and tok liao.

2 chillis v shiok but halfway choke while toking hee.. but more shiok than 1 chilli.. cos tastebud nowadays bad.. can't taste much.

 

[secret_garden]

I din put on lipsyick nowadays cos will always kiss my ger b4 I leave hse.. so after that very lazy to put on liao.. unless must mt pple at work for mtgs..

K Ong,
you so fast back? I tot you went shopping?

 

[teragram]

Ellysia,
hehe, thanks for the compliment but my chin area quite jiat lat, got 3 red zits. I think yours is very good!

aiyo, the merc cab was quite funny. the taxi-driver thot it was morraine and gang who wanted the cab so when i crossed the road, it actually stopped opp of me to "pick" them up so i had to cross back to take it, a bit of hide and seek there.

 

[teragram]

K Ong,
I realised i din finish my statement cos the cab came. I was going to tell u that I stay at haig road, quite near to telok kurau.

 

[ellysia]

Tera,

Mine has been back to same state before pregnancy liao. The miracle came when i start on birdnest. Some birdnest have pearl powder (left over birdnest bottles from brands which i bot last time b4 pregnancy). Then i just started last week on Royal jelly which also have pearl powder.

I have pimples breakout during 1st trim, and skin peeling also and end up with 2 patches of different colour skin on my face.. really v jiat lat.. many people asked wat happen to me.

 

[morraine]

<font color="0000ff">tera~

ha ha ha ya coz we waved from our side mah..

piyo~

i oso kiss and hug my ger before i go to work daily but den i wipe off the lip gloss mark after tat lor wahahaha</font>

 

[ellysia]

Btw ladies have u all started spring cleaning yr hse?

I really lazy and hb said need to start then i tell him can he be totally in charge as i really v lazy to move around nowadays.

 

[toscaong]

Piyo : no la, didnt go shopping, it was crystal and TF who went !!!

Tera : yes ! nearby !! our kids can play together next time ! heehee

 

[teragram]

Ellysia,
The royal jelly from TWN issit? I also bought when I went there a year back but have not taken yet.

morr,
hahaha, cartoon hor? that's what the taxi-driver thot as well since u guys flagged. he was telling me along the way. oh yes, thanks for organising the lunch!

 

[morraine]

<font color="0000ff">ellysia~

my house quite empty one so no need super thorough spring cleaning but i have a helper so not so bad

tera~

no prob on the organising la

</font>

 

[ellysia]

Tera,

Me been eating plain bread every morn lor.. no jam no peanut butter cos avoid sugar lor.

Then no coke

so sad.

Took ice lemon tea if go fastfood but i took half each time.

Maybe see how the result will be tmr when i visit gynae after detailed scan, see whether sugar content ok or not.

 

[ellysia]

Tera,

No i didn't buy from TWN cos not sure on the source. I bot from GNC, which i tink is more reliable.

Ored check with gynae, she say royal jelly is fine bec it is natural pdt but i cannot take a lot bec need to watch out sugar.

 

[ellysia]

morraine,

OIC then good for u.

Me laggy v jiat lat.. house really messy and storeroom all over.

Hb still need to clear the bb room cos it has been a storeroom over the past 2 years since we bot the flat. I bot my flat in year 2005 but only get customary in year 2006 then move in.

 

[mogudog]

Ellysia, yeah. Perfect mum for discount for nursing bras. 4 pcs for $89.85, but's it the full cup one.

TF, haven't receive the invite lei. My email [email protected]

 

[teragram]

K Ong,
Yupz, we can meet up and our kids can play tog!

 

[ellysia]

Tera and crystal,

I tink is bec our taste bud has become milder since pregnancy tats why we feel plain water not so nice. I tink so.. nowadays i drink miso soup i dun feel salty even though it suppose to be salty. dunno if u all feel the same.

and yes it has been western food and fast food the fav of our bb.. dunno why also.

 

[teragram]

Poor Ellysia,
Plain bread sounds bad leh. Do u at least get those with raisins or something? So not so bland. Maybe can try savoury filling eg bread with scrambled egg, with sardine etc? But check with gynae and see how, maybe sugar's level ok liao.

 

[ellysia]

mog,

i cannot remember it is full cup or half cup one which i bot.. but anyway full cup also can wear and $89 is really a good bargain.

Originally i intend to buy a bra from Spring cos i lack of $50 to apply for the membership card.. then now Perfect mum got so good deal so me now indecisive.

 

[fion]

zuen and sharon,
yes.. thats ur bb's movement!! kekeke.. i started to feel in my 14 wks.. these few days it got soooo obvious that i can see my tummy moving when he kick..

 

[feliciarosey]

ladies,

goin for meeting now. Catch up with you gals later.

 

[ellysia]

Tera,

Raisins got sugar le..

egg and sardines, no time to get in early morn le.

dunno supermkt got sell low sugar jam or not. plain really v sian.

Then u know wat, yest i went out with mum i took ice-cream at NYDC.. really cannot tahan. Last week i went 7-eleven and stare at the ice-cream cone for 2 days but didn't buy. But the urge really strong, v hard to resist ice-cream!

 

[ellysia]

babycupid,

u can feel yr bb move so early?

Mine i only feel 1 poke in week 17/18, then last week 19, i feel bb move. It is like something wriggling inside tummy.

 

[fion]

ellysia,
ya lor.. quite shock when i 1st feel it.. and i check wif my frends on the feeling.. kekeke..
now is so obvious.. i guess in no time i will haf difficulties in slping.. i tink my bb too active le..

wow.. so envy.. u gers can haf lunch together.. i working in yishun.. cant join u gers.. anyone work in yishun? kekeke

 

[mogudog]

Ellysia, indeed a good bargain from Perfect Mum, somemore jin comfy and can wear to sleep. Can mix the colour (black and beige). Ehh ... $50 can buy a top for CNY at Spring ?? Heheh ... I also got craving for Ice-cream lei ... was already lying on my bed to go to sleep, but suddenly wakes hubby to go buy 1 tub of ice-cream for me, kekeke.

 

[ellysia]

babycupid,

Ya i am v shocked last week cos it is a v significant movement. I was working busily that day and rushing to toilet then out, an auditor corner me asking for details then at tat time i feel a movement.. so shocked n scared i tot something wrong then later i realise is bb move hee.

 

[morraine]

<font color="0000ff">*sharks* so sleepy now *yawn*</font>

 

[ellysia]

mog,

$40 also can buy a top.. spring having discount now at selected items.

Need to accumulate $350 within 2 mths for the membership. i calculate my receipts got $300, lack of a $50.

Yup perfect mum bra is always v comfy.

 

[ellysia]

morraine,

sure sleepy cos we eat v full! Hee and shiok. wow u eat 4 chilli like nothing, amazed.

 

[ellysia]

Oh ya on the music for pregnancy..

Last week i went to Gramaphone at OUB centre (after work), the lady at counter recommend me a cd for pregnancy, whereby mozart pieces are specially selected suitable for pregnancy. She said special cd for pregnancy is more effective than general mozart cd. Then she said got 2 more CDs for pregnancy also but not mozart pieces, but also highly recommended and popular but they are out of stock ored.. so i give her my hp num when got stock will go and buy.
