the best news ever!!

Over the weekend I have been fretting about who is going to take care of my little one.. On one hand, I dont want to tire my mum out and I am not sure if she is willing to resign and stay home to look after the little one.. as its not a simple task to easily commit to..


Whether I can quit my job and stay home to look after my little one.. frankly speaking, i wouldnt mind that.. besides I always think that is the "noblest" job in the world! Especially you get to face your little one 24-7 watching him/ her grow.. teaching him/ her the ways of life.. And the list goes on and on.. From the beginning, all I wanted is a simple life..


But when I think about the housing loan, my insurance expenses.. I cannot totally rely on hubby for everything.. it will be too stressful on him.. And I cannot buy toys and beautiful clothes for my little one.. I want to give him/ her the best! Like how my parents gave and is still giving.. I am so thankful to them..


Today, I went home and asked mum if she will really resign and stay home to take care of my baby? She said YES!!! I asked her at least 5 times before I left.. Her answer is the same.. Its a YES!! Im so glad.. I told her to recommend me a good confinement nanny for me and during that one month, I will be good and stay home with the nanny and look after my little one.. When I get back to work, she will take care of my baby.. I told her I will hire a helper to ease her load even though she has her own helper already..


I am so thankful to her.. She is the noble one! To sacrifice her job to take care of us, her precious 4 children.. And now she has to sacrfice her job to take care of her grandchild.. thank you Mummy!! You are the BEST!! Love you!!

my strangest cravings..

last week I have been craving for preserved mangoes that are so soury.. I have not eaten them for the past few years at least.. I only have it when my grandmother makes them.. O so yummy!!


I started asking around for preserved mangoes not dried mangoes.. those soaked in water? I dont know what they put inside man! Then 2 kind colleagues told me Isetan supermarket and Biscuit King.. I was adamant about having the preserved mangoes and on Saturday I called up Isetan just to confirm they sell preserved mangoes before making a trip there.. Sadly, they do not.. :( So I thought I better call Biscuit king to confirm that they sell preserved mangoes.. & yes, they do!! That afternoon we went to grabbed 3 boxes.. Words cannot explain the satisfaction that I had..


One word! Fabulous!! It tasted the same as what my grandmother makes them.. Great! My 1st cravings for 3 days is finally satisfied..


Well I figured why I crave for these mangoes, because I feel nauseous in the day at times and these soury stuff can curb that uneasy feeling.. It gave me an "omph" as I place one in my mouth..


Friends have asked me to take sour plums, "suan mei" but I just want the "omph" feeling with the juice splurting out.. that feeling is great and I am so thankful for Biscuit King for selling my grandmother preserved mangoes..


Mummy loves preserved mangoes!!!!! Yums!!

Excited Mum and Dad to be..

My dear baby,


Your dear Daddy and Mummy to be cannot wait for next Saturday's gynae visit to see you through the ultrascan..


Daddy was just commenting to me you must have grown.. Your "hiao" mummy also avoid wearing all her tight jeans so that you can feel comfortable whole day.. =) Though mummy dread those swallowing of pills but because to give you all the good nutrients you need, mummy is also a brave girl by swallowing the multivits every morning.. Though some mornings I will groan to Daddy and he will sayang me before i eat it.. And it takes a super long time for mummy to calm myself and eat it.. but for you my dear baby, mummy will eat it!


These few days, we are going through the baby names.. But we haven found something nice..Mummy has prayed for a name for you my dear baby.. and Daddy God has answered my prayers.. waiting to reach a consensus with daddy before we name you k? my precious baby.. because Mummy believe that name is very important, it will determines your character and all.. So its best to seek advice from Daddy God as He knows Best.. You will surely love it! Grandma is thinking of buying a bed for you already! My dear baby, ur so blessed!


May our dear baby continue to grow and be healthy and all's be fine during the next Saturday's gynae visit.. In Jesus Name! Amen!


With lotsa love and hugs,
Babelicious Mummy..





P.S nowadays I crave for junk food.. Potato chips, french fries, fried chicken, instant korean noodles, more potato chips and more fries.. ytd i even asked my colleagues when are they gg to spree for keropok coz i wan to order all flavours of potato chips! gosh! I hope this junk phase will be gone soon.. I read I need to eat healthier.. May Jesus change all the bad oily stuff to good nutritious foods when the food goes to my stomach, Amen!

1st letter..

My dear Baby,


Mummy is happy and delighted to have you.. But of course all mummies to be experience such morning sickness and I am not spared.. But thank God mine is considered mild at this point in time..


I feel very light headed all day.. from the moment I wake up till I go back to sleep.. I feel bloated whole day and my appetite is not extremely good.. Most of the times, I dont finish what I order.. In the morning, I crave for something sourish so yesterday I had an apple for breakfast, today I had kiwi.. my mum reminded me not to have so citrus thingy in the morning so i accompanied with a cup of milo today..


I feel so uncivilised cause I burped whole day! I seldom burped but I feel so bloated that I burped even though I didnt have much for breakfast or lunch..


Yesterday night I whispered a prayer to have no headaches and indeed this morning I woke up with ease.. Thank you Daddy God for answering.. But still I feel quesy as I am typing now..


Thanks to everyone who is concerned about me though I haven share the good news..


Hugs,

Sweetest Babelicious Mummy

I can see a Father in him!

Yesterday night I was having some discomfort.. some cramps.. gynae said its normal as the uterus is expanding.. I can feel God's amazing hands at work! But its pretty disturbing as I cannot get to sleep.. I kept tossing and turning.. Dear Dear pat me to sleep as usual but it took me more than an hour to get to bed..


This morning when I woke up, I felt so giddy, nauseous and was pespiring cold sweats.. I went to bed immediately to rest.. Is that my 1st wave of morning sickness? Horrible feeling! Then Adrian told me.. wow.. pregnancy is so 辛苦.. he told me, just one is enough.. I thought one is rather lonely.. At least must have 2.. but well, I wasnt in the physical strength to argue so I just laid there..


I pray that my little one will grow, be healthy, be good, be beautiful, be full of peace with a calm sweet spirit, patient, with loving kindness and a tender heart towards God.. Mummy and Daddy loves you!! As for me, may I enjoy pregnancy, no morning sickness, be healthy and strong, gain just the right amount of weight and be in my best of moods.. As for Adrian, may him get to know more and more about Jesus and continue to support me and our baby in every pregnancy I will go through.. In Jesus Name, Amen!

its positive!

A day after the uncomfy feeling of having pad on my panties, period felt like coming i saw some brown but no more, i felt some cramps ocassionally.. but no period.. i am curious to know if im preggy?

so the next day on 3 Nov, i took the pregnancy test.. it showed a +! I can hear my Heavenly Father saying, Blessed Birthday!! I am so happy but am concerned about those brownish stains i saw so we went to see a gp 1st.. i was given some meddy and 2 days of mc which i was told to bed rest when i can..


Before i got preggy, I already told Adrian that I will want to deliver at Thomson Medical so I cannot go with my mum's gynae and my gynae who did the operation for me because they only deliver at Gleneagles..

During my mc and over the long weekend (as Friday was a Deepavali), i went online to research for Thomson Dr. But still I prefer word of mouth rather than the forums on the Internet.. So I still haven shortlist my gynae to be..


on 8 Nov, i saw a spot of brown again.. this time i wanted to see a gynae so i asked mum for recommendations.. I have my own preference and Adrian doesnt have much opinions in this area, so I had to take lead and decide.. This time, I was back at work.. So I had to think about the brown spot and my work.. I couldnt concentrate.. I prayed that my baby will be fine.. In Jesus Name, Amen!


My preference, I always felt that male can be more decisive at making decisions.. so I wanted a male gynae.. even my hairstylist I prefer a male.. i dont mind peeps calling me gender-cist, well i am! hee.. but I also believe there are jobs that women can perform better than men..


So settled, I went to see Dr Adrian Woodworth.. short and sweet! He did an ultrasound on me and I can see my baby!! Its 5 weeks old.. Continue to grow my beautiful and healthy baby as Mummy sayang you and Daddy protect you.. And our Heavenly Father watching over us.. =)


Ever since, we saw the positive sign.. Adrian has been very concerned on wet floors, wet toilets, rainy weathers.. Thanks dear dear for your care over us.. Hugs..
