i can't rem when i felt adil move the last time. that time jan/feb so crazy busy period back at school so wasn't too careful with my recording and blogging.. but if not wrong oso abt 4 months liddat la. initially tot hunger pangs.. like gas bubbles. then i talked to my colleague and she told me that was baby and that was when it all clicked in my head
astro: haha! ooohhh.. ic ic..
they all grow up too fast don't they?
yalar.. that would be weird la if you bought another uno and use both together. medela should be good since it's so popular. but your your bottles must also change from avent to medela lar? i dono why but i like avent bottles la.. fat fat liddat. haha

LOL! these kids these really know how to make up stories one ah! so clever! i think we must all be prepared to get 'conned' by them soon la
how old is teng now? i keep forgetting? 2 rite? adil oso started counting at age 2.. but of course not accurate and point all over the place like what teng does now.. and everything was also 2 to him then too!! hahaha
i think because we always ask him, "how old are you?" and then taught him to reply "2!" while showing the 2 fingers liddat. so 2 it was for everything.
thanks for the link to loke's blog

your story about teng bluffing reminds me of the story adil made up to my mother about how i made him sleep in the fridge! can you believe that kid?!
his voice was hoarse one morning when i sent him over to my mom's place before i went to work. so my mom asked him la why his voice so hoarse. he told my mom it was because he cried. my mom asked him why la he cried. and he replied, "adil cried because mommy told adil to sleep in the fridge" and according to my mom he did this with a completely straight face!! only when my mom probed then he added sheepishly that he lied.. tsk tsk.. kids kids... *shakes head*
i wrote abt it in my blog but it was in malay. i translate here

kids.. they are constantly our source of amusement and joy.. but also our headaches hor? i cannot think of a 'truer' saying than this.
sometimes wanna strangle them.. sometimes wanna hug them. hee.. i'm glad i'm over the worst of the terrible 2s la.. the major tantrum was really pretty bad. the peaceful 3s cannot come sooner for me.

famela! alamak.. teng will get stuck at 5 &6 also.. he ALWAYS skip 5! then move on 6, 7, 8, 9 10! hahahha. then now. he knows red and green also.. plus blue & black! hahhaha
great.. teng has always been slightly slower in gross motor milestones coz of his SHEER size.. and that put GREAT pressure on me last time.. (esp when u know.. erm. others start telling u their son/daughter can do this/that liao.. wah stressed!) now he can walk and run.. and be fully mobile.. i am relieved
.. still can't jump though.. the little sliverback!hahaha
at least everything else.. he is on track
as for how come we know it is someone's birthday.. FACEBOOK! ha.. ya have facebook?

hahha... farnie how they are the same yah?
that's why must always remind the new mommies not to stress abt these kids' abilities and crossing milestones.. i think lagging behind in 1 aspect of development is really not indicative of anything. they all do it at their own time. when they're ready.
he'll jump soon enough la.. just you wait. then you wished he hadn't learnt to jump at all!
i oso rem how i taught adil his colours. we played with the balls in this little ball house we bought for him. just like everything else, that story is also buried somewhere in that old blog of mine la. i'm so anal abt recording. haha
ahhhh.. facebook! no wonder lar! no i don have facebook and it's one thing that my frens have been bugging me to get. i told them i'm already an internet junkie who spends all my free waking hours on forums, blogs, msn etc. if i haf facebook i will not function normally. hehehe. and so i have resisted opening a facebook account. i opened one only in adil's name to remain anonymous. but didn't add frens other than my hubby. hah!

pple pple!! blame the HcG hormones for making you all merlion! and i blaming it for my cough!!
The cause of morning sickness: If morning sickness has you sidelined — morning, noon, night, or all of the above — you can also blame the hormone hCG. Surging quantities in the first trimester contribute to your queasiness. Many researchers say it is no coincidence that morning sickness usually subsides around the same time that hCG levels start to decrease, which is around the beginning of the second trimester, when the placenta takes over production of estrogen and progesterone. Peeing all the time? Blame hCG. And if you're catching every cold and flu within sniffing distance, you have hCG to thank: It suppresses your immune function to reduce the chance that your body will reject the baby. "

aha! mystery solved!
Ladies from merlion club.. ur HcG level is sky high. hence u all merlion/ms (refer to my previous post)
for ladies who didn't merlion. but is a fellow memember of the Bloat n Burp club.. the culprit is progesterone!!!
'Causing discomfort: Creating room in the uterus is for your baby's benefit, of course — but by taking the squeeze off smooth muscle elsewhere, progesterone, with the help of the hormone relaxin, prompts all manner of GI discomforts:indigestion, heartburn, and constipation, just to name a few. Lax muscles in the lower intestine, for example, allow gases to distend the bowel, bringing about an even more bloated belly, as if that were possible. '
wah.. this is something new that i ddin't know before!! good good!

hahaha. this is a possible reason why they say ..the preg brain is forgetful!
Cortisol (which increases during the third trimester) may also adversely affect the hippocampus, which plays a critical role in learning and memory (and which may explain pregnancy forgetfulness…and why you won't remember anything you've just learned from this article by the time you've reached your third trimester).
for ladies who needs to do a lot of regurgitation work.. cortisol is ur biggest enemy! hahahah..

hi mommies..
how's everyone's day? i reached home after an all-day outing with friends at 7pm and headed straight for the bed. tired tired tired..and all we did were nice girly stuff - spots of shopping, great food and a trip for a head massage
i wanted to ask for a butt massage cos of the pain there but don't think anyone offers such a ridiculous item.
Astro >> I definitely think it's the baby that I am feeling already. What started as the "little mentos" protrusion has now graduated to taps and turns when i am trying to sleep. Just earlier, I woke up from my sleep cos there was quite a hard knock from the inside. I think that was a kick or something but it wasn't painful, just rather sudden and strong. but it isn't everyday i am feeling it consistently. the times i could feel it clearly were always at night, prior to bedtime.

astro >> haha, i didn't know it's called "quickening"..any idea dear why it's named as such?
famela >> moi processing the previous posts...i am slowly exiting the merlion club. tsk tsk. it's jinxed to say as such..as everytime i declare i've conquered Mt Merlion, I find myself right up there again! slowly but surely. first day today to have eaten well indeed...now need to regain the 2kg lost! time to get to 41..then 42..and so on. my gastric seems to have cottoned on me...gaviscon is a good friend. i have really horrid gastric pains in the mornings prior to work..guess it's just like a school kid..when it's time for school..all sorts of pains will emerge from the wood work.
I am having prbs with my underwear..muahaha. first, i am way too small to be wearing anything for real from the maternity stores. walked into marks & spencer's today..the size 10 ones had crater openings for the thighs..it'll be loose on me..so while the waist might fit..it'd be completely weird at where it matters..
work huh..there was a crisis actually with my client which is why i'd to return a tad earlier. been lethargic, hungry, cold..but also been basking in the many sayangs you get at work. i am now the fragile babe..so most will volunteer alot for me..guess they all feel that i'm way too small sized for this mummy stuff...i am not showing yet..and it's really funny when we are at restaurants, family/friends will take it upon themselves to explain to the waiter to make the food less salty/spicy/oily as "mommy is here"...
using rational thought, i can only figure the babe has not much space for expression...indeed, i don't have much fats to show for anything..even my butt cheeks have gone down not that it was anything voluptuous to begin with..oh..and would i even begin to venture telling you how i lost my "brains"...? it's hilarious. i am tremendously forgetful.
in just a few days, these have been a collection of the utterly forgotten:
1) went to the carpark to get my car for work. searched high and low. panicked. called for HB to help. in the end, it was found that i was looking for our old car..when my real, new one was sitting there in good order. don't ask me why i did not respond to the lights flashing when i tapped my keys..i was actually craning to hear the "old" sound of my car..
2) went to NIKE, happily bought new shoes. wore them immediately and left my perfectly good sandals in the hands of the bewildered asst
3) signed for purchases, collected receipts and the credit card. went to the bin and promptly threw my c/c in while slotting my receipts. how dumb!
enough of
the lost world of xoxo.

Hi vodkarib
I think I've been experiencing the same pull for the past few weeks. I think don't have to worry too much if everything else seems OK. I feel it esp when I get up after sitting. Try getting up more slowly?
As for the ladies having the discharge problem, I asked my gyne once. He said quite normal to have more. If it's itchy then may need to treat but he said he preferred not to in the 1st trimester to be on the safer side.
As for lydiagal, I have heard of pregnant women avoiding cold drinks but I still drink them. I hardly drink warm water. Some say it makes the baby and its lungs cold or something. Dunno lah.

As for the ladies having the discharge problem, I asked my gyne once. He said quite normal to have more. If it's itchy then may need to treat but he said he preferred not to in the 1st trimester to be on the safer side.

as indigestion can manifest itself in several ways, i try the following methods:
1) if it is an acid issue, i.e you get a sourish aftertaste or gastric pains- drink warm milk, obtain gaviscon from any pharmacy (Cat A medication safe to use);
2) eat seaweed (to counter gagging);
3) for super "gassy" tummies - i have tried baking soda - just one tsp in 1 glass of water (do not exceed)..instant relief;
4) don't take heavy meals and take your time eating;
5) if the feeling has to do with food that cannot be digested...i drink yakult!
gal >> i think this cold drink thing is a TCM-concept. some pregnancy bks say anything cold that you take will stimulate your uterus to contract = pain...and that's one way they use to make the fetus "move"..if u don't seem to react too well to cold soya bean milk..just avoid it..rest well..i've been limiting my intake of cold drinks though i snitch a sip every now and then..reason being, they make me cough..
