I'm ready to be a Moo Moo......

I'm fail to breast feed Kendra for at least 6 months when she is a baby and I'm so regret that I don't have a strong determination that time. All the discouragements from the confinement lady makes me give up so easily.

This time, I have a strong determination to breastfeed for at least 6 months and I've got all the BF essentials stuffs with me this time, no excuses to give up easily....hahahah!!!!

How He looks like.......

Went for my fortnightly checkup Wednesday and according to my gynae, every things is fine. This time, my boy is very co-operative and my gynae managed to get a good angle to print out the photo of him to us. From the photo, you can notice that he open his eyes so big to stare at us...... such a cute boy!!!!

baby length: 35cm
baby weight: 1445 gram
Heartbeat: 160 beats per minute
So far, mommy only gained 7kg for this pregnancy.

This picture was taken 2 weeks ago (22nd April 09)

see, he is stare at you!!!!!!! (6th May 09)

My Amnio Test Result

Hi all, this is an update on my result about the Amniocentesis test which I took 2 weeks ago. Hubby rang up the clinic this morning and the line was pass to the dr. by the nurse. According to him, every thing is fine and I can carry on my pregnancy.......hooray, what a relief to me and hubby!!!

Now, I can continue my shopping for the baby and not forget to get a confinement lady too!!!!Of course a big thanks to those mommies who concern and have me in their prayers too!!!!

@ 19 weeks

Time flies and I think I've missed to update my last visit to my gynae's clinic which due last month. Anyhow, I went for my follow up appointment yesterday. And guess what....??? I bumped into Donna and one of my hubby's colleague in the same clinic, what a small world.

Baby weight: 239g
Heartbeat: 160 beats per minutes

I can feel his movement 2 weeks ago and it's so amazing. During the scan, he keep on moving and I think it's because he is so excited to see 3 of us.

Nothing special on the routine checkup as my gynae commented everything seems alright except for the triple test report. The report show that I'm high risk in the Trisomy 21 test and my risk is 1:138. In other words, among 138 women with the same data as mine, there is 1 woman will have the Trisomy 21 pregnancy (carry a down syndrome baby) whereby 137 women will not be affected ( hope I will be in this group)

My gynae suggested me to carry out the Amniocentesis test for a more accurate answer or just disregard the report and carry on my pregnancy. After discussied with hubby, he strongly agreed that I carry out the test as we can have a better plan after the result is out no matter it's a good one or a bad one. We don't want to play the guessing game for the rest of my pregnancy.

I'm schedule to do the test on next Monday and the result only will be available after 2 weeks as they need to send the specimen to Singapore lab for testing. I think the only thing I can do now is stay calm and relax. Hope everything will be fine and I can have a healthy baby.

@ 12 weeks

Went for my checkup yesterday after my last checkup which was 2 weeks ago. I felt this checkup are so special to me as we did it on the last day of 2008 and it remarked the end of my 1st trimester too!!!!

baby length: 5.09cm (grow about 2.36cm in 2 weeks times)
Heartbeat: 165 beats per minutes
mommy BP: 120/70 (seem not so relevant, right...LOL)

During the whole ultrasound scanning, we (hubby, Kendra and myself) can feel how excited the little baby was when he/she meet his/her parent and sister. He/she keep on moving and kicking till my doctor told us that he/she was tooooo active. Halfway of the scanning, he/she started to suck her thumb......hahaha!!!! When daddy told Kendra about this, she was doing the "shame shame" reaction to her little sis/bro. Other than this, doctor did count the baby fingers with Kendra too!!!!

My gynae has stop to prescribe me the folic acid and prescribe me with the multi-vitamin, calcium capsules and neurogain. For my weight, it remain unchange from my last visit and my appetite was back to normal. I didn't have any special foods I would like to crave so far but I like chilling drinks a lot especially Ribena.....LOL!!!!

I was so amaze that I found lots of new development of my baby on my visit and can't wait to see him/her in another month time.

@ 10 weeks

Went for my checkup on last Wednesday and this was the progress of my little one inside me.

Length: 2.73cm
Heartbeat: 176 beats per minute

Head, hands and foot were seen through the ultrasound scan. For myself, I only gain 0.5kg from my last visit which was 2 weeks ago. I'm so surprise about the gain as I thought I will gain at least 2 to 3 kg because I ate a lots during this 2 weeks time.

Kendra was so excited when she saw the scan and when we got home, she keep on showing us her tummy and told us that she also got a baby inside....LOL!!! One thing I need to compliment her is that she was very behave during the scan, when the nurse try to give her a sweet and this was how she answered to the nurse....."Thank you, I don't want".....even my gynae also praise her for this as he seldom see a kids that will say NO to sweets/candies.

Looking forward to my next visit.....!!!!!

No. 2 is on the way

I got no idea how should I start my post...... Yeah, I'm 9 weeks preggie with my 2nd one. As most of you may knew it from the ticker I posted at my blog not long ago. So, I would like to take this opportunity to spread the good news of mine.

Everything were fine and so far I didn't came across any morning sickness and hope it will not come and visit me too!!!! My appetite is SUPER good. Before I'm preggie, I seldom took my lunch and now, I can't even skip any of my meals and the portion must be BIG enough to fulfill my hunger most of the time.

My next appointment will be on next Wednesday and I'm looking forward to this day. As I've promised Kendra to bring her along for my next visit to show her how's the baby looks. She is looking for this day to come too as the previous visit nothing much can see from the scan. Whenever I ask her whether she want a brother or sister, sure she will answered me she want a sister...... and this is what hubby and I wish to have too!

Stay tune for more updates!!!

Finally...........

After almost a year of trying, finally I'm conceived. I did the 1st test on the second day of my missed period and the second line of the result was blur. I'm not sure whether I'm pregnant or not. So, I decided to test it again tomorrow morning (3rd Dec) and unfortunately the result was same as the previous one......blur on the second line.

So, some of my buddies in MJ advise me to test it a week later which the result will be more confirm by that time. I also keep on reminded myself not to be hurry but when I went to Jusco yesterday, I automatically walked into Guardian and bought another tester......see, how "kan cheong" I am. This time, I bought a "digital" one instead the normal one. The result will only show "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant". No need to guess the line this time.

I did the test early in the morning today and here is the result that I want............
