Frankly, I've been starting to count down to D-Day. We are getting so excited preparing for the arrival of our son. Even though I'm not sure what to expect on D-Day but like my mum said all women go through it! So I'm quite sure I can go through it without any problems! I have also decided that epidural will be my last resort. I sincerely hope that I do not have a pro-long labour.
If the EDD is correct, in 5 weeks time we should be able to meet our son and our sleepless nights will begin. Today, we went to Pantai Hospital for check up. It was a long long wait but after looking at the ultrasound is all worth the wait. Doctor said everything is going very well. Baby is growing at the rate that he should be weighing about 2.3kg. The ultrasound shows that the head is facing downwards towards my pubic area but still not engaged yet. The legs are right where my ribs are! No wonder it gets so uncomfortable when he starts to move..but everytime he moves I will always have a smile on my face because I know that he's doing well and he's just trying to stretch. It is getting a bit cramp in there. Doctor was also explaining to us when should we check in for labour. She told us that every now and then I will feel my belly tightening. The tightening will last about 45 seconds or so and it is not painful. She assured us that there's nothing to be worry about. We should start timing it when the tightening is consistently painful because is a sign that labour is beginning. She mentioned that if the tightening/contraction is 10mins apart we should be heading to the hospital. Doctor also mentioned that, some women may bleed which we call it a show. She also reassured us that is no big deal. She told us that only to go to the hospital if it is accompanied with contraction. Nevertheless, if we are unsure, we can still go to the hospital and get the mid wife to strap us up and she will be able to determine whether am I in labour or otherwise. The last thing that might happen is when the waterbag pops. She even explained that when the waterbag breaks is a continuous trickle down our legs and really wet. When this happen is best that we check into the hospital as once the waterbag breaks and if labour is still not coming along we may need to be induced to prevent any infection.
After today's check up it is very clear that I may be in labour anytime soon! Hubby even started packing my runaway bag. Time really flies.... not sure to be worried or excited for labour!

Welcome to the Year of the Rabbit!!
Gong Xi! Gong Xi! Honestly, this year not much mood for Chinese New Year... why? Because I didn't get to buy lots of new clothes to wear. Well not that I buy lots of clothes every year but at the very least the whole set from top to toe, in and out that can last at the very least 2 days. The main reason is because I'm now 8 months pregnant and I'm not willing to spend so much on maternity clothing which I know I will not wear after I deliver. In the end, I only manage to get a pair of shoe, a denim skirt, legging and bra.
Every year, on the first day of CNY we have a fixed set of routine to follow. We will wake up early and get ready for our visiting. Usually, we will not have breakfast at home first but this year because I get really hungry when I wake up so I decided to have breakfast at home. My in-laws also prepared breakfast which consist of mee sua soup which I didn't eat and choose to have bread instead. Little did I know that it is a tradition for Hokkiens to have mee sua on the first day of CNY to represent longevity. Oh well, as I mentioned in my earlier posts, I am still having my set of breakfast ie orange juice, milk, papaya so with all that somehow mee sua just don't seem to fit in. More over, I really don't fancy having noodles for breakfast. The only Asian breakfast I can take is Roti Canai or Nasi Lemak.
Anyway, after breakfast we left the house and headed towards Klang. The first house that we visited is our 5th grand aunt's family. She's a very warm and kind hearted lady. First thing she offered is to have breakfast again! She fried some vegetarian bee hoon and boiled barley with gingko nuts and longan. My FIL continue chit chatting with the rest of the family while hubby and I watch TV in the living room. My SIL managed to catch up with us and all we do is just watch tv and wait for the green light to leave for the next house.
Second house that we visited in Klang is 1st grand aunt's family. This year they are mourning but we still visit just to see how she's coping with the lost of her husband recently. Again, the younger generations will have our own little session while waiting for my FIL comforting our grand aunt. The topic in this house was how she manage to clean all the figurines without a maid. Imagine the amount of display items she has we have estimated that if she cleans it one a day it will take her more than a year!
At about 11.30am we adjourned to 7th grand aunt's family. Every year, they will have an open house luncheon. Therefore, we are there every year for lunch. The lunch is prepared by their house maid and at the same time they also cater Satay which is delicious! The must have is the chicken pie... yum yum! I used to love the sambal sotong but somehow this year I'm not sure whether is it my pregnancy or my taste bud has changed as I find it too spicy for my liking. After lunch, is time to go home to rest and get ready for dinner.
We used to eat out for dinner on the first day of CNY. However, since last year we all have decided not to because we are all very bored with the set menu offered by chinese restaurants. We decided to have pot luck. I cooked chili mussels with garlic bread. My eldest SIL cooked shepperd's pie while my 2nd SIL cooked lamb stew. We also had imported roast pork from Philippines. All of us agreed that all this are much better than the 10 course dinner. The kids enjoyed a few rounds of X Box Kinect till the extend that they do not want to go home.
Second day of CNY, we have lunch at another relative house in Shah Alam. Usually, this family will have open house for dinner but plans changed this year. Anyway, we had fried "rice cake", porridge, fried tang hoon, loh bak, pie tee and for dessert I had sago gula melaka. As for dinner, we just had simple dishes at home.
Third day of CNY, again we went out for lunch with more relatives. We went to Rakuzen in Empire. One of the relatives also brought some fried 'new year cake' with yam. One of my favourite food during CNY besides from all the pineapple tarts, kuih kapit and fried arrowroot chips. As for dinner, we planned to have BBQ. Unfortunately, it was pouring really bad and we had to change our plans. We end up cooking the marinated meat on the stove and we used the hot plate to cook some bacon to preserve the heat for the cooked meat. Even though our plans changed at the very last minute we all still enjoyed ourselves. My eldest SIL made some really good salad! Well I must say she have not failed in any of her salad! While my second SIL made jacket potato. Haven't have them for ages! Reminds me of my favourite from Oliver Sandwich. Jacket potato with sour cream and bacon bits! Lovely!! As for dessert we had mango puding with nata de coco and ice cream potong.
Fourth day of CNY, we decided to have something light. We decided to go Alexis in Gardens to have lunch. I ordered a caesar salad while hubby ordered his favourite Alexis burger. I also ordered bread and butter pudding as my dessert. Yummy!! My FIL also joined us for lunch. He ordered a smoked salmon sandwich. After lunch, we went into Robinson for a walk before we head home and rest for dinner. We had dinner at Green View in SS2 with some relatives. We had their specialty which is 'Sang Har' Noodles. We also ordered some lala, chicken, suckling pig, sea cucumber and steam cod fish.
After the fourth day, things start to mellow down. We decided to head back to Subang to stay over and because I took leave for 2 days I make full use of it by resting at home! Phew.... what a week it was!

Eat...Eat...Eat...Sleep...Eat
This blog was suppose to be written last week but I've been really lazy and was not in the mood of blogging. Partly also because hubby was at home early the whole of last week so I'm just happy to relax and enjoy the company of my hubby watching TV together while my son occassionally give us his moves in my tummy which can be quite entertaining for both of us.
Last Thursday was a public holiday and we decided to have an eating trip together with my fil. As usual, baby woke me up in the morning around 9ish and as always I will be hungry the moment I wake up so we decided to walk to the indian restaurant just outside our house for breakfast. At 11.30am we went to Yut Kee for lunch but we didn't have a heavy one because we plan to go for second round somewhere else. We arrived at Yut Kee slightly after 1200 and it was already full house! Luckily, we didn't had to wait too long but the down side was we had to share table. So anyway, we ordered their famous dishes which is Hainanese pork chop, Hai Lam Mee and also steam bread with butter and kaya. The bread was not too bad but I would much prefer if they use the old fashion type of butter and not individually packed Anchor brand butter. As for the kaya I personally find that the one bought by one of our relative was much nicer. Overall I would say their standard has dropped tremendously especially the Hai Lam Mee. It was very obvious that it was pre-cooked because when it was served it wasn't hot and the noodles was soggy. But I must say the chili that goes with the noodles is really good. We also take away their famous kaya swiss roll which we find that the taste is still OK but the size of the roll has shrunk tremendously.
We then continue our makan journey to somewhere near Selayang... I think! Anyway, this shop is famous for it's fish ball noodles and it was previously located very closeby Yut Kee. When hubby first brought me there for their fish ball noodles it was in an old shack in Jalan Yap Ah Shak...really hot and crowded with a man who takes our orders and when he relay back to the kitchen we have no idea what he's talking about! It was closed down few years back and we couldn't find where it was located until last week when I was just trying my luck by google-ing and wah lah I found it! They have upgraded from an old shack into a nicely renovated shop with air condition, marble tables and most importantly the shop looks clean. This fish ball shop is now call Fish Ball Mee KNL restaurant. We manage to locate the shop by using our gps and it was a pretty long drive all the way from Yut Kee. We ordered a bowl of fish ball, mee with 'char yuk' and a bowl of tau foo pok. The fish ball is not as good as before in terms of texture but the taste is still quite similar to what I've tasted when they were back in the shack. I didn't like the 'char yuk' and not sure about the tau foo pok because I'm not a fan of tau foo pok.
After our second round of luncheon, we headed home to rest and discuss what's for dinner. I had cravings for waffles at waffle world so the initial plan was to try this new restaurant near paramount which is famous for their claypot fish head and head to 1 Utama for waffles. Well, hubby and I was so tired from all the eating so we decided to take a nap. Well not sure if you call it a nap because when we woke up is actually time for dinner. Anyway, we ditched the idea of going two places so we went straight to 1 Utama to have dinner and I decided to give Sri Melaka a try. Nothing to rave about our dinner and because I was so looking forward to having waffles, I kept my stomach some room for waffles.
After waffles, we went to my sil house to deliver the swiss roll and chatted till about midnight and I was exhausted!

A New Toy For Daddy!
Last weekend we had quite a relaxing Saturday. We woke up quite early... well earlier than usual and got ready to pick up Russ to go for his grooming session. We also picked up our maid and took her for lunch and then back to our condo to assist us on cleaning our place. Yes.. both mummy & daddy been really lazy and now we are relying on "kakak" to help us clean our nest!
While she's cleaning both of us were also cleaning our wardrobe and clearing the store room so that "kakak" can come and stay with us during the confinement month. After that, we took a rest and daddy was watching his favourite Astro channel which is the sports channel but it wasn't playing any sports it was a show where they review all the PS3 or X Box games. Both of us got so impressed and engrossed with the games that they showed and couldn't believe how detail the graphics were. Then daddy said maybe we should go check it out. Obviously, I was quite keen because I have been thinking for months whether to get a Wii or not. We hesitated initially but after the review I decided to reward daddy for being such a supportive husband and daddy by offering to buy it for him so we headed to Sunway Pyramid.
When we arrived in Pyramid we head straight to the digital mall and were absolutely clueless! First we entered a shop inside the digital mall but it was really packed with people so we decided to walk out. We walk out of the digital mall and there was another stand alone shop manned by youngsters. Daddy said let's go ask them and see how much we are going to get slaughtered. Surprisingly, the guy that was servicing us was quite friendly to explain to us the difference between PS3, XBox and Wii. This is how we made our decision to get the X Box.
Wii - Graphics not as good as X Box or PS 3
PS3 - Can't play pirated games
X Box - Able to play pirated games and graphics is much better
So I told daddy we should give X Box a try and then I further asked about Kinect. I got excited when he introduced me this sophisticated gadget. It works like a Wii with the exception that we do not need to hold on to anything! How cool is that! We decided to get it as well and while the guy was testing the console out with Kinect boy did we draw crowd to the shop! After everything, we couldn't wait to go back and try it but unfortunately daddy had a wedding dinner to attend and I had dinner plans with one of my girlfriend. So we had no choice but to test the new toy later in the night.
As usual, when two girls go out for dinner we yak and yak and yak and must have dessert to continue gossipping away so by the time I reached home it was already close to 1am. I bought home supper for daddy and was quite dissapointed when daddy said our living room is not big enough for the kinect to detect the player. Daddy said he will figure something out tomorrow because he's very dizzy now and he needs to sleep! I just laughed ! He's dizziness was from playing the Xbox games! He said that he's getting too old for all this games. The graphics are making him dizzy!
The next morning we woke up early again and went to La Bodega for brunch at Empire. After such a heavy brunch, we bought some "kueh" from Nyonya Colours and also a pack of Nasi Lemak and Mee Hoon Siam just incase we get hungry later on during the day. After we got home, daddy finally found a corner far enough for the Kinect to detect the player but only able to accommodate one player at a time and we started playing. We had so much fun because it's really funny to see each other's reaction while they are playing with their hands and feet swinging everywhere! And mind you the Kinect even take photos of you while you're playing!
Both of us think that is a good buy because we had so much fun! Can't wait for the weekend so that we can play again!

Ooops! What A Shameful Accident !
Yesterday I had the most embarassing pregnant moment ever which I will never forget! I've read a few pregnancy books and also from google-ing online that at times pregnant women can't really hold their pee. Initially I thought nah... it won't happen to me I mean I've been going to the loo quite frequent already to empty my bladder so that this won't happen!! O.M.G this is how it all started....
As usual, every morning I will have my routine work in the office and I will usually go for my toilet break around 11.30am and usually by then I will be quite desperate to relieve my bladder. Unfortunately, the cleaning lady decided to change her schedule and when I went to the loo she was cleaning it. So i walked back to my office and I had a shocked of my life! The moment I open the office door which I need to pull I suddenly felt that I leaked! YES! I didn't know what to do but to continue walking back to my workstation and thinking hmmm could it be extremely heavy discharge or is my pee! I was crossing my fingers that let it be really heavy discharge but I know deep down it wasn't! Obviously, I couldn't concentrate on my work anymore and can't wait for the cleaning lady to finish cleaning the loo so that I can go and find out how bad it was! Well Thankfully it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and used lots of tissues trying to dry my undies. Obviously, the rest of the day I just can't wait to go home because I felt so uncomfortable and felt so ashame eventhough I did not mention a word to my collegue! Lesson learnt... do not wait till the last minute to relieve my bladder especially in public!

Can't Wait To See My Son!!
Hubby went out for "yum cha" session with his buddies leaving me all alone at home with my baby and my beloved Russ so I decided to update my blog since I haven't been doing so for about a week now. I had my mind set to share with everybody what my baby looks like in my tummy now with the 4D scan that I just took last check up but guess what!?!?! The scanner is not working!! AAaarrgghhh!
Somehow the computer just can't detect that there's a scanner being installed and so I decided to search online for the driver to install it and after several attempts of downloading various files it still doesn't work! I even downloaded a driver which when I double click on it to install, it is all in chinese characters!
Anyway.. shall not waste anymore time and I will get hubby to settle it later. Anyway, last week check up was quite interesting. First of all Dr said that my weight gain is really good. She was really supportive by saying that if I maintain what I have been doing and not to fluctuate my weight too much I shouldn't have any problems delivering my baby naturally and it should be an easy delivery. Yayyyy!! The scanning was good fun too because I requested for a 4D scan. Unfortunately, the umbilical cord is right infront of the baby so all we could see is the side view of him. Ahhh but is good enough. Dr also mentioned that everything is going well with baby and he's going to be a "long" baby. Judging from his length, he is 2 weeks ahead of an average baby size. Let's hope all my drinking of Enfamama pays off because is quite a torture to drink them every morning but when I think of my baby I make sure I have one cup a day. Baby next time you must sayang mummy and not be a rascal ok? Can't wait for my next appointment which is in 2 weeks time. Yeah... Dr said from now on we will have check up every 2 weeks.

29 weeks and 3 days
According to my iphone application "What to Expect" baby is due in 10 weeks and 4 days. Can you imagine? Well I can't! It seems like it was just few months back that I'm announcing to everyone that I'm pregnant and now I have less than 3 months to go!
With that in mind of course I've been doing a lot of research on pain relief and stages of labour... and of course asking around from experienced mothers. Sometimes, I worried so much that I will just wake up in the middle of the night and start to imagine what it will be like! I know is getting crazy but I can't help but imagine whether can I handle it when the day comes.
This morning hubby woke up early (usually he is still sleeping after I leave the house for work). Anyway, I was just reminding him that our check up is this Friday and then I asked him to guess how many months is our baby. He said 6 months! Then of course I proudly said that baby is 7 months old now. Hubby said he's also getting very anxious and I told him yup me too! I told him that I am also very scared for the labour and gave him this wild idea. I told him that we need to stock up on TVB dramas for me to watch while I'm in labour! He laughed and asked how am I going to watch it? I said well we can play it through the laptop. He said that I won't be able to concentrate on the drama.. well I don't care.. I am still going to give it a shot! My thinking is that rather than not doing anything and then I'll probably end up concentrating on the pain... I might as well have some other distractions right?
Well baby has been very active lately. Kicking...punching...tossing and turning I think! I don't exactly know what he's doing inside but I can really feel him moving every now and then. Recently, he likes to move actively around 3-ish in the morning which sometimes is so strong that I will be awake and I have to calm him down in order for me to continue my sleep! Another time that he's particularly active is while I'm at work around 5pm. Other than that, I noticed that during lunch time while I'm eating sometimes he will move around... but I realised from the time I'm awake till lunch time I assume he's sound asleep! Hmmm... I hope he doesn't have our bad sleeping habits!
