Little Random Details About Me

Went for my regular checkup on Monday. Everything is fine except that baby is a little small. It is only about 1.5kg now. The doctor suggested that I can eat a little more and sleep on my side so that the blood can flow to the baby. I have read that it is good to sleep on my left side but sleeping on the side has been a little uncomfortable for me due to the belly being in the while. In any case, I will still try my best. Next checkup in 3 weeks time. Hope baby gets a little bigger by then. I would also like to be able to view the features of baby. For the past 2 scans, she has been facing down. So shy! haha

I'm on my 30th week and according to babycenter, my baby is the size of a large cabbage. Just 10 weeks shy of my EDD. I'm getting a bit scared, mostly because of the pain. I get the impression that giving birth is really painful but there are many who are able to do so even without epidural. I myself came about with epidural so I am hoping to be one of those people. I just went for my glucose test this morning and the results will be out next week when I go for my regular checkup. Cross my fingers that my sugar level is within check. I did make a point not to consume too much sugar during my course of pregnancy. *** It has been a while since I met up with the girls and their partners. Everyone has their own busy lifestyle now. Most of them still highly focused on their career and upgrading themselves. Guess I'm the least ambitious. It doesn't really bother me for now though because I think I am still able to relate to what they are saying. Not sure if it will stay ...

This year marks SG50, the 50th birthday of Singapore. Derrick and I were back to celebrate this day with our nation. I am not much of a patriotic person but I am impressed by how Singapore can come this far in just 50 years. Singapore is so young! Not sure if I will be able to live to see SG100. I'll be 81 years old then haha. To commemorate the 9th of August 2015, I even carried out a special bag. Isn't it cute? It is a free bag given specially for this day. All public transportations were free on that day. So we took advantage of it and took a train to MBS to soak up some national day spirit.

I'm in my 3rd and final trimester. Only about 2 more months to go before I pop. Where did time fly too? I'm currently back in Singapore and will be staying till I pop. Der is back too but just for 1 week and we have been busy trying to settle stuff for our new place. We have finally settled on a contractor and have selected the tiles for our house. But there are still many many and never ending decisions to be made. As for baby, she has been growing well in my tummy. She is about 1.2kg now which is normal for a 28 week old baby. I have gained about 9kg and yet baby is only 1.2kg?! goodness... As usual, my problem with pregnancy is bad skin. Ever since I got pregnant, my belly has started to be quite hairy haha. It is no longer itchy now but I'm starting to have spots on my belly. According to my gyne, I have some hair follicles infection thus causing the spots on my belly. Her solution to me... just leave it. It's not that bad... My gyne really does not care about aes...
