Morning all! Yakun Kaya Toast set for breakfast! Hope it stays
joycie, petrina
I also had an easier time with #1. I think it's bcoz I had no one to irritate me, make me angry, make me tired, I could nap whenever I wanted to. Now I can't, coz he wakes before 7am
I also felt very bad from 8-11 weeks. Then from 12 weeks, miraculously improved. By 14 weeks, feel like normal, not preggie liao.
loshita
Congrats
coughing
Think can try cooking those Chinese pear with nanxing beixing, esp good for phlegmy cough.

Morning mummies.. late today cos overslept a bit 
Haha.. but my boss is even later.
Had a very rich Japanese dinner last night... better go to gym later. I ate very lightly this morning, just nutella sandwich and black tea.
Congrats loshita on your OSCAR result.. I hope mine is going to be good as well.
Glass, your dream is so funny!! My dreams are weird... once I dreamt of a baby iguana/lizard thing.. it was very colourful but it kept growing and growing until very big... I was trying to fight it but had to run away cos it got too big for me. Then I woke up. Quite scary...

Find myself stepping onto the weighing machine every morning. Also quite concern that I'm not putting on weight. Lost 0.5kg overnight. Now wk 16, net weight gain is 0.5 kg from before preg. Am I putting on too little? And I'm not even having MS! My boobs got bigger, tummy is bigger too. But weight not increasing much. I wonder why?
Noelle,
Birdnest Soup
Hubby bought raw ones from swiftlet farms in M'sia & cook every fortnight for me. But need to pluck feathers and clean up ourselves.

Hubby is encouraged to join us to learn more too. Think it's good for them to participate.

I lost more than 2 kg ever since i was pregnant, never gain any weight cos i vomit too much. My boobs and tummy also get bigger but no weight gain. My friend even say how come i look so skinny? Nobody can tell I'm preg until I tell them. Then they say, can't tell leh, your tummy very small! Anyway, not to worry lah, i'm sure we will gain weight by 5 mths!
I wonder where can we buy the bird nest in JB? Good or not?

joycie, if u want to get bird nest from Malaysia, think it's better if u have a reliable contact, to make sure u get the genuine ones. i got mine from malaysia too, from my hubby's colleague who has relatives doing bird nest business there. got the one with feathers plucked out and cleaned throughly, so much cheaper than SG.
Joycie: I heard low risk I felt relieved and never ask about the report. haha. Maybe they will show me the report the next round. For bird's nest my hubby's friend's FIL also sell bird nest in Malaysia, he told us its about $270. But I can't remember whether its the raw one or the one with feathers plucked already.
My MIL scared we dunno how to clean it properly plus i think she also tired to do it that y buy those more expensive bottled ones for me.

Ate saba fish with kimchi.. 3rd time eating kimchi after pregnant. past 30yrs nvr touch Kimchi b4... hehe. this dish is guaranteed to stay in tummy..
I tried japanese food last night and i couldn't take it.
Still back to chinese food.
Nattan, your iguana dream is probably about you having some fears about the uncertainty that pregnancy is bringing to you. Coz the thing was growing. Mine actually weirder than i had mentioned. I never say that while enjoying the scenery, a bus that was travelling on water, or maybe some big boat crashed into the building. And dunno why we were showing our property to home buyers.
Asrias, yup, me not working today. Make sure you have good steady shoes.
Seeing so many of you go shopping, i bought 2 pairs of maternity leggings. One is black and the other is denim.
Been looking at some maid agencies. So far i think i prefer filipinas with experience. Must have experience looking after infants and young children. Best if she can cook. Need to figure out how to convert my storeroom to a room for the helper.

glass: i bought leggings too! from Uniglo.. not maternity though.. hehe
Nattan: Hmm mabbe i try the cycling machine first... then slowly progress to elliptical machine. Coz last time i only run around the tracks never really use machines.
Glass: I bought leggings from F21 that day. was quite cheap about $9 for 1 pair. Very Very stretchy. I like the waist band cos its the thin kind so doesn't really restrict the tummy. But I bought M/L haha, so that got more room when I grow

I've stopped buying clothes & shoes temporarily for my girl! Bought too much already in Jakarta (7 sets), then when come back, my aunt came and give her 3 more clothes set!
Then my IL came and give her CNY dress...
After that suddenly my mom SMS me she bought 4 sets of Batik Clothes, and 1 set of clothes and another set for CNY..
OMG! I can't imagine. My girl now has SO MANY CLOTHES QUEUEING TO BE WORN!
Some more all those are not home clothing and my girl max only go out during weekends once or twice. :S
Even for CNY I've bought her 1 set before I knew my IL and mom will buy for her, and now she has 3 sets and we're not visiting anyone!!!

I prefer they give toys lor.. Because clothes it's very not easy for me to resist to not buy them, thinking they will look good on her. Huhuhu.. Also I get quite addicted to online shopping for her already..
Tomorrow my checkup.. If this one is a girl again, maybe I'll keep some of the new sets of clothes for her to wear. Huehehe.. My #1 is simply has too many.
Some more, girl dresses actually can still be worn as Tops when they grow up.. Because she grows taller instead of fatter. huehehehe..

Petrina and asrias, the ones i got are maternity leggings, got the adjustable band, and it's xxl size, but can fit me. Last time i got normal leggings but i cannot remember where i left it. I think i'm paying for the adjustable bands, around $18 from some shop at j8

Glass, wow your analysis of my dream seems quite logical! Haha.. maybe... I guess I'm a bit apprehensive about my bodily changes since it's my first pregnancy. I also have not seen the baby scan for a while, so naturally feel a little apprehensive.
AsRias, I don't cycle, cos it's not comfy for me to sit on the bike seat But I suppose it's more gentle on your knees if you cycle slowly.
BTW, I ended up not going to the gym today cos my dept head wants to take us out for lunch. I took the opportunity to announce my pregnancy and fortunately everyone including my boss was very supportive and excited for me

Even my mom forgotten about it already!!!
Going to keep it for #2... huehehe..

Hi Mummies to be, hope everyone's day has been great!
Sunniegal: Congrats on having a boy!
As for your weight, if your gynae did not comment and baby has been growing well then should be safe. I had a friend who was so damn skinny till she is left with bones, less than 40kg and over 1.6m.
Jenny: I go to KK hospital. My gynae is Dr Khoo C K and did the scan and blood test as what you mentioned. If they did not specifically ask you to do another special scan after the report and ratio had been explained to you then it's fine to wait till your next review with your gynae.
Joycie and Mihoger: Initially, I cried daily. I even broke down in front of my gynae and nurses which is why my gynae referred me to pyschologist. Now, I cry only when I throw up and if hear negative remarks!
Noelle: I threw up bird nest once after drinking & my MIL commented that so wasteful! So now planning to drink when I am not feeling so nausea as hubby bought the more ex kind for my MIL to brew. But actually, I am rather allergy to bird nest as will develope itchy rashes and nasal problems.
Today is the lucky draw in my company and ended up with nothing! :/ I even got chocolate (used to be my fav but now cannot eat cos baby dont like) as gift exchange that I gave to another colleague!! 1 colleague asked me if I m preggy today and I kind of got pissed off and ask her "WHY"? Not your biz and I dont want to answer, can? :/
Michi: I think you better call or email gynae if can use the ointment to be on the safe side.

wah, I called up this maid agency that focuses on transfer maids for expats, and they tell me to email them my requirements.
Only thing is must give Sundays and public holidays off.
I dunno whether I'm chin chye enough, or too ngeow.
I listed down 4 requirments - can look after my son, care for infant, do household chores, and if possible, can cook.
I also listed down 6 points on the personality. After typing everything, it's like 1 A4 sized paper. Took me 1 hour to think.
Hubby tells me to pay for maid, so I think I must fork out $1k a month. Wah!

Zo, thanks for the assurance
Regarding birdnest, my hubby bought the raw ones direct from swiftlets farm in M'sia so that we can clear the feathers ourselves. We've been told that many processed ones are bleached. So we just wanna play safe. He had tried buying raw ones from local medical halls. However, they charge higher prices for raw ones than those cleaned ones. Doesnt make a lot of sense right. Make us really wonder what went into the processed ones. The raw ones just double boil for 30 mins. Those processed ones need hours.

Morning mummies! Merry Christmas in advance!
Today is another day of happy feasting and over-indulgence! Office having BBQ party... hehe..
Sel, it's ok to have caffeinated drinks once or twice a day (doctors recommend not more than 4 cups). I for one have been drinking coffee everyday or else I won't be able to function!!
