The First Peek

First I'd like to say thank you all for the well-wishes! =)

So last Friday we went to a gynae. I've decided not to go to my previous Gynae (Dr Adelina Wong) because not so satisfied with her during the delivery itself. From all the raves in the internet, I wanted to try Dr Joycelyn Wong, which have very very good review in the internet. Surprisingly when I call the clinic, the 1st available appointment date is 21 September. 21 SEPTEMBER!! My goodness, it's 1 month from now. Tsk tsk tsk.. and it's not even a Saturday! So finally decided to go to Dr Eunice Chua, which was my ex-colleague's gynae, and also have many good reviews in the internet.

So we (pi, Vio, and me) went on Friday, ready to wait for at least 1 hour before seeing the gynae. (Normally we'd have to wait about 1 hour). Surprisingly, that day not many people in the clinic. Maybe also because it's a weekday where most people are working. We waited only for 5 minutes before seeing the doctor.

She is a very nice lady (which has 5 kids, btw). And she asked many questions that I somehow feel are more sincere compared to the previous gynae I went to. (My old gynae will be very efficient, so your time inside the office will be very short). When she did the ultrasound, there was nothing much shown in the screen. Apparently the baby is still too small, and my bladder is not full enough. But she said I'm definitely pregnant, because there's the water bag in the right place.

And then she offered whether I want to do internal scan. And of course, I frowned. No one would want something poking thru, right? So in the end, she told me to drink lots of water and wait until the bladder is super super full.

So we went out and I drink sooooo much water (I'm sure must be more than 10 cups!) until I feel sick and want to vomit out the water already. Then we wait wait wait wait... After 20 mins, we went in again, and... the bladder still not full enough... Sigh... So we wait again for another 10-20 minutes....

And finally finally finally! We can see something in the screen!

Oh oh yeah that's my baby... though it looks more like a bean now.. And only 0.56 cm long. I can see the heart beat. And the gynae also try to let me hear the heart beat. I think I heard a little bit... Though not very clear. Now that reminds me, my old gynae didn't offer me to hear the heart beat at all! Tsk tsk tsk....

Oh yeah.. the due date now is 18 April 2011. :)

Hippo Oh Hippo..

No doubt Vio's favourite for bedtime is still Hippo. Vio always call for Hippo if Hippo is not in sight (for example, if Vio happen to lie on top of the poor Hippo, then Vio will start calling for "Hippo? Hippo?")

So what does Hippo do? He'd "sing" & "dance" to the song that mommy sing for Vio. He can also "tickle" Vio, and Vio like to tickle Hippo back too. Hahaa.. Sometimes Hippo will also wear Vio's pajamas (on the days Vio refused to wear pajamas. Once he sees that Hippo's wearing his pajamas, he'll immediately ask us to put on his pajamas on him.. hahaa).

Other than that, Hippo's most important role is to be there to be hugged by Vio while sleeping, and to have no complaints as Vio bitten on every part of his body repeatedly every night. No doubt Hippo is getting thinner and thinner, and smell of milk! (ps: he used to be a fluffy one). And not to mention, he's getting more and more yellowish... Sad thing is we can't buy a new one for him... We never see it selling in the stores, and we can't see the brand anymore (Vio bite it too much until it can no longer be read).

Nevertheless, here's a photo of the 2 bestfriends sleeping together :)

The GRIN

Many people say that I look more like mommy.

As a matter of fact, only my eyes look like mommy's one (small eye with no eye lid *sigh*). My face shape follow daddy's, and I think so does my mouth.

Do you think I look like daddy here??

Potato

Vio was giving us a "surprise" last night.

We were having dinner, and Vio also ate his dinner with us. Sitting in the same table, with his own plate and spoon, trying to scoop the contents to his mouth using the spoon, all by himself.

Among the dishes, one of them was perkedel, something that's seldom seen on our dining table. At one moment, I put some cut perkedel in his plate (without telling him what it is), and he scooped it out and taste it. And do you know what he say?

"Potato.."

Wow I should say we're all surprised. He can recognize the taste/texture of potato!! We didn't tell him what we're giving him, neither did we tell him it was made from potato. But he just knew! So proud of my little boy :)

Attending the Wedding

On Saturday, mommy and daddy brought me to daddy's friend's (Lando & Lily) wedding. As usual, the moment I'm most excited about is when my clothes are changed, and I'm just waiting impatiently to go out of the door to go to new places! Just look at this. I'm ready with my "cute" style on (this is one of the style that mommy missed in the post here).

Ah... I especially love it when it comes to foooooooood part... Mommy and Daddy let me eat lots of yummy food.. All in all, I ate 2 round pizza bread, 1/2 potato croquette, 1 banana cake, a bit of noodle, a bit of quiche, a bit of crab something, a bit of nugget, 1 cheesecake, and not forgetting.. 1 full eclair all for myself! Wow the eclair was definitely yummy yummy! I love it so much that by the time I finish 1, I was asking for somemore. But too bad... All the eclair was already taken by then.. no more for me.. haiz...

Coming Soon....

After weeks of feeling tired and always hungry (though don't feel like eating), I took a test to confirm my suspicion... Is there someone coming soon.....?

OK actually I took the test 3 weeks back (coz of the same symptoms). To my surprise, the test result turns out to be..... negative. Hmmm.. after I did the test, then I saw the indications in the box. That the test can only be done 1 day after the period is due. Ok, maybe that explains the result. Oh dear, that's a good $10+ wasted :D

So last Saturday, 2 weeks after my period is due, I decided to take another test. Also because I feel that my tummy is bulging, bigger than normal. (If the test result turns out to be negative again, I'd better go on diet soon!!). So pi & I waited for the result curiously, and it seems like it's taking ages to show up.

Then we see.... a line... 1 line only.. And I started to wonder: why then, am I having all these symptoms if the result is (yet) another negative? And then.. just then.. another line shows up.. clearer and clearer... It is.. positive!! Yeah yeah Vio is going to have a little sister! (or brother) :)

And according to the pregnancy calculator available in the internet, I should now be 6 weeks pregnant, and the EDD would be... 12 April 2011. Wow, that does seem fast!!

New Face for the Blog!

Woah-hooo.. New "face" for the blog is finally done, and it's sooner than expected..

I tumbled across this new "service" available in the internet, called TypeKit. Apparently we can now use nice nice fonts in our web/blogs if we subscribe for their service! (even though the client browser doesn't have this nice font installed locally) Yay! No more needs to convert the nice fonts to an image to display it in our website.. hohohoo... It's a very good service, I'd say. And somemore, there's a free trial option too. Though limited, it's worth the try :)

So tell me, what do you think of the blog's new face? ;)
