Really enjoying my 2nd trimester... Good time to do all the shopping & walking... We even signed up & went for our church Marriage Growth Seminar 2010 in dec.. Tis round, there were many couples fr our region... It was indeed a great time... Both pin & i learnt alot... It's oso my last overseas trip b4 i can go for another one in a long long time....

Second Trimester

Into my 2nd trimester. Things are getting better. Nausea & vomitting are reducing. Going to work is less of a hassle & painful event. During the 1st tri, i had to travel to & fro work by cab. It was quite costly. Of coz at this stage, no one on the train or bus will know or notice that I need a seat. So I had to just 'tahan' lor...

Weeks after weeks, I looked forward to my gynae appointment. Not only can I know about BB's progress, it's also a chance for us to 'meet' BB. It's just so amazing to see how BB develop & grow. We had to scheduled our apppointments on Sat, even though the clinic is pretty near my workplace which I could actually go on a weekday. However, going on a weekday means Pin gotta take leave all the time. Pin wanted just as much to go with me for the appointment to 'meet' BB & to know about her progress.

Oh ya, have I mentioned the gender?? It's a girl!!! Both of us were overjoyed.. Upon knowing that it's a girl, we started to do some shopping. Oh goosh, there are just sooo many girly & nice clothes, shoes, accessories, etc for girls. Receiving many advices from different ones, we held back our shopping spree. We looked around for the bigger & more 'important' items. Pram, was one of those items. We shopped so many times, looking around for the best valued, yet to our liking. Went from shopping centres to baby fair, still couldn't settle on one. Finally, we kinda fix on a particular model fr Combi. With a target, my research was made easier. I tried to do some price comparison fr the different retail shops & online. Finally, I managed to get it online at a pretty good price and was delivered to our house. Thank God for that!

Slowly, more other items added on. There were many blessings from different ones as well. Clothing, bedding items, etc. Some were new, while some were hand-me-down but in gd condition.

First Trimester

There wasn't any nausea or discomfort in the beginning. In fact, I noticed that my appettite had grew. I was delighted, thinking that I was one of those fortunate ones to not have 'morning sickness'.


This took a turn at week 6. Nausea & vomitting kicks in. I lost my appettite. I began to be very sensitive to certain smell & food. I'm losing weight. Despite having no appettite, I had to eat, even a little.


This lasted till I reached week 13/14. The 1st trimester was really tough. At that moment, I had thoughts like why do I have to go through such things, why did I get myself into this... Looking back, I felt so silly. Hee....


Oh one thing, I had to thank my mother-in-law for taking leave to take care of me a few days, during the time I had to be home resting. Also, my sis, EW, my mum & sis eunice for making time to help get food for me during that period. Of coz not forgetting Pin... He had to specially rush back during lunchtime to get food for me & to spend some time with me. I really appreciate so much!!!


Thank God for carrying me through & for bringing providing the help when I most needed!

Weeks of Uncertainties

We were scheduled to go back for another check in 2wks time. Oh my, this 2wks seems so long & far...

However, the following wk came, I had to go back even before the 2wks coz there was staining again. My gynae gave me a wk of mc to rest at home, together with some med to stabilise the pregnancy. This really worries us. I was sad but there's nothing that I could do. Pin & I bagan praying & committing all to God.

The staining episode didn't just end after a wk. That national day weekend, we had to make a visit to the TMC 24hr clinic as there was staining again & was more. The gp at the clinic gave my gynae a call & was instucted to give me jab. We went home after that & returned to see my gynae the next morning. Hence, it was another wk of mc. My gynae was still joking that baby doesn't like mummy to work hence, the moment I went back to work staining again. The wk after, I took leave to con't to rest at home.

Praise the Lord!!! Things got better subsequently.

First Gynae Visit

That very day after we had tested, I called up my gynae's clinic to try to fix an appointment for check & confirmation. The nurse asked several questions & we I told her that there were spotting a few days ago, she asked if I could see the gynae that afternoon. I was a little worried. I gave Pin a call & he too took urgent leave to accompany me for the appointment.

We were excited and yet apprehensive. Finally, it was our turn to see the gynae. She asked several questions & subsequetly did a scan of my womb. We saw something that resembles a young feotus. Due to the early stage & staining after the run, my gynae told us 3 scenarios, ranging from most likely to least likely - feotus still very young, hence explained the small size; feotus had stopped growing; what we see fr scan was not the feotus (i.e. feotus is outside the womb - etopic pregnancy). We were both worried upon hearing such news. I was given a few days of mc to rest at home & some medication.

On our way home, I was very quite. My mind was just filled with what my gynae had said. I was so worried till I broke down. Pin had to console & comfort me. I know in my heart that he too must be worried too.

The Discovery

Just few days before I tested, I still went for a 5km run - Shape Run 2010. This was on 25 July 2010 (July). I still remembered the day before the run, we were at Kirk & Hayley's wedding. I was still discussing with my sis, Dor & Karen whether to go for the run or not. Nonetheless, we all still woke up early & went for the run. I enjoyed the run so much coz 5km is so manageable. But not knowing that I'm already pregnant. Haa....

That night , we met up with Ron & June for dinner. My stomach wasn't feel too gd & there was abit of staining. I thought it was my usual cramp & stuff. Hence, I had left it as it was. Until 3 days later......

BLESSING.. New Life!!

Yup, i've been out of action for quite awhile... HOw long?? Uhmm since June bah...

What had happened?? Well, something good.. something really good had happened... Pin & myself are so blessed.. with a new life... a BABY!!! We had planned & have been trying... So finally, God hears & blesses at His right time...

We got to know it on the great news on 28 July 2010 (Wed) when we felt that something is not right & I finally decided to test it out...

Here's the results:

Pin & i were soo delighted, yet atonished... I didn't know what to do.. Called up my cousin to share with her the great news & she said can call up the gynae to arrange for an appt for a check... It was time for us to get ready for work.. We both went to work... I couldn't hide my joy at all... Was beaming the entire day...

BIG Ó

Yes, it's another year with greater wisdom... As usual, pin & i took leave to spend some time tgt... Started our day... waiting for bus...

We had our lunch at M hotel... It was a complimentary lunch, blessed by my cousin... Food spread not very fantastic... But of coz, its not the food that matters, it's the company...

Then we headed to suntec as we needed to utilise a voucher... finally managed to get sth that we both like.... tired fr all the shopping, we took a rest & some juice at a kiosk...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to MYSELF!!!

My 1st FENCING experience

I love my company for organising such fun stuff for us... tho its just once.... It was really an experience...

Crazee way to end the week - with Crazee Beez

I was just abt to clean my doorstep... To my horror, i saw many bees flying around... Initially, i wasn't sure what they are... Bees or those big flying ants (those that only appears after rain)... as they were flying around the light outside my hse... Took out my specs & had a closer look - they are bees... I quickly closed my door... Not knowing what to do, I called the NPP... They took down the details, got back to me & said that they've directed this matter to the town council... Good thing they didn't ask me to call myself, else... haa... anyway, this shd be the way - the No Wrong Door policy...

Unsure when town council will response, I called the town council up to check... as there were more & more bees flying all around... Must realli thank God, juz when pin was abt to reach home, these bees began to gather & form a nest around the light... This made it easier for pin to come into the house... Truly, God knows the best & He has everything in control...

Shortly after, the pest control guy came... After he had analysed the situation, he got down to work... Next, u see all the bees dead on the floor...

Pictures for your viewing pleasure... =)
