Will BB have a sweet tooth like Daddy? :)

New cartoons

Back to work today. Busy day at work as usual, no time to check forum. Some MTBs from the forum said they read our blog. Made hubby feel guilty and drew some new cartoons for BB. Hee hee.

Found out I have piles yesterday. It's pea sized and does not bleed thankfully but still uncomfortable. Borrowed the tyre from my cousin just last week. She bought it because she had piles too. Never had piles before, sigh. Hope it will go away soon. :P

Received my navy blue Sack'n Seat today. Folds into a compact little drawstring bag and material is not bad. Hope to try it out soon. :)

MC

On MC today cos stomach still no good and gastric pain liao. Dr said it's probably something I ate or because some of my meals were late. Anyway, he gave me 4 types of medicine. Feeling better now but no more MC left for the rest of the year liao. Must stay healthy, if not got to use my own leave. :P

Stomach woes

I've been having lots of gas and loose stools these few days, went toilet more than 3 times today. Don't know why. Went to my cousin's kid's birthday party, don't dare to eat a lot but come back, stomach still no good. Just drank some ginger tea but don't like the after taste. Used to have constipation problem at beginning of 2nd trimester. The phase ended and now this. :/

I'm always feeling thirsty too, it's like no matter how much I drink it's not enough. But when I drink too much, I will keep going to toilet, if not stomach will feel very bloated. Don't like drinking plain water too so been taking more cold drinks but I usually try and have it with less ice or no ice at all. My favourite thirst quencher is lemon sugar cane juice. So nice and refreshing. Too bad can only get that from hawker centre. Wish I can have a glass of it now. Sigh.

Bumper Playmat

Saw this thread from experienced mummies commenting on bumper playmats. http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/578191/730186.html?1190174158


After reading the comments, we are quite convinced it'll be a good buy. The standard size (1900mm x 1300mm) is slightly smaller than a queen size bed but it'll be big enough for the baby room. Will probably order it after BB is born unless we get it as a gift. ;) Hubby thinks the Sweet Bear design is better though because can use it to teach BB ABC. :)

Nesting instinct

Did not go out today cos hubby was busy at work. He tapow food for me when he came back, ate the Hill street char kuay teow from Bedok North, bbq chicken wings and delicious sugar cane juice for tea. :)

Hee hee, Shopped online again. Bought this sack'n seat $38 which allows baby to sit down when there are no baby chairs available eg. coffee shops. Buying the navy blue colour so that dirty also not obvious. Buying one for my cousin too, her boy just turned 1 month old 2 days ago. :)

Tempted to buy the LG bumper mat for baby to sit, sleep or play on. Hubby and I don't sweep or mop the floor often, so thought it's a good idea to set up a clean corner for BB. The bumper mat is softer than those ABC mats and BB can't take them out to bite. Can also put on the floor as cushioning beside the bed in case BB falls. But even with bulk purchase price, it's $150+-$250+ depending on size. http://www.smallsmallworld.com/bumper_playmat.html

Today is also my cousin's birthday. She's in NZ now so can't celebrate for her. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GE RINE!!! See You in DEC!!! :)

BB's first swim (while inside Mummy's tummy)

Went swimming today. During the antenatal class, the physiotherapist said we should exercise because we need stamina for delivery. :P The public swimming pool is very near, about 10 mins walk away but never swam there though we stayed at our flat for nearly 3 years liao. Out of shape, can only swim 6 laps slowly and with break after each lap. But better than nothing, can slowly build up my stamina. Baby kicked me as I was swimming, she swimming insider her water bag. Swimming costume getting a bit short, can see about 0.5cm of my tummy. When I get bigger, may need to buy maternity swimming costume liao. :P



Decided to buy a second hand breast pillow since don't know whether it'll be useful or not. Normal retail price is $80+, second hand selling for $40 and used for less than 10 times. Not very cheap cos someone else selling at only $25 but must self collect at Choa Chu Kang. This seller willing to deliver to Tampines, so saves me the trouble.

Rabbit Hooded Blanket

Saw this hooded blanket at the BP supplier website. Only $7 after discount. So cute, very tempted. :P

Carter Bibs

Online Shopping

Have been shopping online happily for BB. The online motherhood forum that I visit has a lot of Bulk Purchases. Ordered Precious Moments Alphabet Wall Tiles to spell RaeAnne, 3 Carter bibs and Gap reversible blanket to wrap BB in. The Carter Bibs are very cute, only $$2.73 each (Bulk Purchase price), hubby chose no. 1 & 6 (Ducky and Butterfly) while I chose no. 12 (fat Giraffe). Can't wait for the delivery. :)
