just came back from gynae checkup. Did the GD test; actually the syrup i had wasn't that bad, and i manage to glup it all down.
Baby is well, 1.3 kg for 28 weeks. Dr said ok.
Dr grinned at me and said i put on some weight, then i went to compare last month's results. Kaoz, put on 4 KG!... now in major depression. I thought i only put on 2 kg.

Mie, how much did you pay for the neck float? I have a tub at home, so thinking that I will fill it up and let my bb just "swim" in it rather than bringing her out. Cheaper mah. Maybe we can have a family soak because my tub is big enough for all 3 of us. Hahahah.
As for cord blood banking, most likely I will go with Cordlife. My friend can refer me and she will get a one-off discount of $50 (rather miserly). But I will talk to my gyne about it tmr and see if he has any preference/recommendation.

cjdg (cjdg) : This is something i got when i did a search on cord blood banking, think 2 years ago??
Theoretically, stem cells should last forever, but cord-blood research has only been ongoing since the 1970s, so the maximum time for storage and potential usage are still being determined.
Blood-forming stem cells that have been stored for more than a decade have been used successfully in transplants.
By banking your baby's cord blood stem cells you could benefit from breakthrough uses and be prepared for the unknowns in life. Stem cells are showing promise in the treatment of brain injury and juvenile diabetes and have already been used to treat nearly 70 diseases, saving many lives.
Even tough no cord blood banking organization will be able to guarantee whether the cord blood bank with them can definitely be used when needed, but its still a hope.

Recently, i have been experiencing giddy spells towards evening time. Nowadays, was dragging myself through my girl's evening story book time. Really no strength. Was wondering if its due to lack of iron. Any mummies experiencing this?
I always got no appetite in the evening... But when its approaching midnight, i start to feel like a hungry bear.

dreamygal,
hmm... sounds like lack of iron hor? maybe check with GP/gynae? my appetite is still ok. but notice digestion slowing down. so altho i'll be like a glutton but i have to remember not to stuff my face or im gonna pay for it later...
am beginning to feel the weight altho my motion is still rather normal paced. if i'm out and about, by about 1.5-2hrs, i'm quite tired already

sweetzinc : Sometimes when position is not right, the little one inside will protest hor...
Last night, Glynnis kept squeezing over, wanted to share my pillow. We were sleeping very close. This morning, she gave me a hard kick on my back. The one inside my tummy immediately retaliate by giving me a series of kicks. Was feeling SOOoooo awake immediately. Ouch!!

dreamygal: hope u feel better soon. take more dark greens if u can, e.g. spinach. will help to boost ur iron level. I've also been feeling giddy lately. My midwife said it could also be a lack of ventilation/oxygen.
I feel so clumsy lately too. Turning in bed is becoming more and more difficult. Fortunately my yoga and swimming are keeping my backaches minimal.
Vin: U shld continue to go for ur walks. Maybe take it slower or reduce the walking time. Need to build up stamina for the big day!

dreamygal, elly,
hahaha... i feel the same! feel like i'm a whale when i'm in bed, and trying to turn... u know that feeling? uhhh...
but have to say yoga and swimming really does wonders for the soreness and tightness... have to collect my lazy butt and get down to doing it.

abit excited abt my blog as its my 1st time trying on my own..
Thanks to those who seen it, hope its not too ugly

pingzzz: i'll provide some feedback. i feel that the variety is quite limited at this moment. Pricing is very reasonable and overall great effort. It may help if u lighten/brighten up the pictures with photoshop or something, just to make the products look more attractive. U may also like to give a dash of baby colours to your blog. It'll set people in a "sweet" mood for shopping. =)
i'll like to join the whale club too! Nowadays when i climb the flight of stairs to my office, i'll pant pant for a while at the top. And getting out of the sofa, or when i'm getting up sitting on the floor is starting to be a chore
blink blink: the 10 pm news got show the jewellery fair. The first person that came into my mind is you! hehehe.... the jewels are beautiful

lin : Some comments.
Socks - it will be useful to include in measurement. Is there any sizes/colours?
Clothes - you mentioned its newborn to 1 year. Then no sizes mentioned? What are the available colours?
It will be good if you can include in close up pictures.
My personal opinion only.

i havent tried to cut my toenails for quite a long while.. i doubt i will be able to do it and i dun feel like giving it a try.. haha
fifi, i tink coz you've been attending yoga lessons.. i doubt i will be able to cut my own toenails, looking at the size of my tummy now!
i just measured the width of my tummy, have grown another half a inch within the week!

hiya! how has everyone been doing? i have been away for quite awhile. had a most hectic few weeks. now the end for me is quite in sight and i'm so going to relish the extra time on my hands doing...nothing. bye bye job. hello home.
hehe. actually, it's time i caught up with all the sprees here and there...my turn to do the great singapore shopping...
abt toes - i can't cut them anymore..heck, can barely see them! i am also plagued with the frequent "downsizing" of my ahem, underwear. in panic now..gotta buy new, much, much bigger ones! i dare not look at myself in a full length mirror. same goes for all my pants too..and did i say shoes? my feet is somehow bursting out of every single pair. even slippers. width is the prb.
morning sickness, i am still quite stuck with it. one of those things. throw in back ache, nightly leg cramps...but the cause celebre must be my passing the 50kg mark. so all the complaints..what's that? i have all but just 10 weeks more to meet the reason for my sprees, sprains and sunshine...unbelieveable what time does to you..it flies.

dreamygal: maybe u r rite... i'll miss being pregnant after october... because i have lesser excuse to eatwateverilike and demand my hubby to do everything for me like now! =P
shugar: i am finding it tough to sleep too! I used to sleep on my back before i was pregnant. now can only sleep on left or right side. and my girl always starts to kick and move whenever i lie down. plus my reflux only comes at nite. @_@
i can still clip my toenails. but it's very very very very strenuous.... i think when i finally cannot reach, i will try pedicure instead of asking my hubby for help. If he clips my nails, i think i can go without trimming them for 1 year. he also cut deep deep one.

beansprout husks pillow>> from wad i understand, it will be put over baby's chest, so that baby will feel secure, and will not get startled easily.. normal cotton wool pillows are not able to do that coz they are too light already..
