First scan - Hearing the heartbeat

There are many times i self doubt if im really pregnant because it just doesnt feel real except the fact that my menses is not here. Lol.

We decided to go ahead with ahjess's gynae Dr A L LIM from Thomson Medical cause.. we are quite lazy to do research and ahjess say her one not bad hahaha.

First appointment was booked on my week 8 (so can hear baby heartbeat).. 3 long weeks i had to keep it from my parents despite seeing them every week.. so torturous.

Came 14th April 2018 - This is when the reality kicks in when we legit see the baby bean inside my womb and hearing the sibeh fast heartbeat at 180p/min. Like a " dook dook dook dook dook", le hub hear already his heart beat oso "dook dook dook dook dook" 😆
It was quite an emotional (?) and touching moment lah to find out that this lil one is growing well and erm, a lil bigger than expected.

My estimated EDD was 22nd Nov base on date. But at its 2cm size then, the edd became 18 Nov lol!

太补了?

Not exactly a bad thing. But we walked out of the clinic feeling all excited and erm mix feeling. Ok la finally can confirm im really preg and can tell my parents already. We didnt dare to tell them because scare anything wrong make them happy for nothing.

Next appointment at Week 11 - gonna go for Oscar Test (Down syndrome) Lets keep our fingers cross that all is healthy and happy! 👌🤞

Heres the very first pic of baby ixxi:

How ixxi came about

Okay so heres the main purpose of why im blogging back, cause i hope i can look back in years to come and read back how i felt/ what i experienced and hopefully able to share on how this journey ahead.

In mid feb, lehubz and I decided to try for a baby because 1. this year is dog year, 2. i dun mind having a piglet next year and 3. i didnt wan a rat lol! We didnt specifically count any ovulation date or whatsoever and just let nature take its course. In late feb he went Germany for 10 days while I happily went bkk with Poon and Panda. I had the feeling that i MIGHT be pregnant and so i avoided tummy massage.

Back in SG the feeling got stronger and I kept pestering le hub to acc me buy the kit. (ok thou im married but i still feel quite embarass to buy it) then the stupid husband keep saying: Aiya you wait till menses miss means tio already lor. 😒

So on 19 March 18, I met Ah Jess ( my friend whom we had our wedding on the same weekend as, and shes already preg) for lunch and she help me to huy the kit lol. She taught me to buy 2 of it : 1 cheap one (watson housebrand) and 1 more ex one (clear blue) so use use the cheap one first in case its negative so i wont waste money.

And then i went back to office and took. 😱

Just as i expected.

Ahjess was the first to noe lol! followed by my sis because i met my parents and her for dinner that night before gg home.

And when im back, this lame hub was playing game when i passed him the 2 kits in the packaging and he still ask me "what?" OMG SUPER WOLS. I had the 😑 face while waiting for his intelligence to come back and realised that i already tested.

took him 5 to 10 mins to digest and be happy. and then he started talking to tui non stop on how he gonna be a dad and tui be a uncle 🤦 lol!

Okay first part done. Damn hard to keep this a secret for the next 4 weeks until my scan at week 8 (for heartbeat).

Stay tuned.

First Post of 2018 ❤🐶

Hello, im back! After disappearing for a good 1.5 years from this space. Didnt had the courage to pen down toytoy's passing 2 years back. She left us 1 week before our wedding, peacefully at Marina Barrage at night, with our family. And shes really blessed to have all the korkor zehzeh yiyi and uncles to send her off on her last trip.

Fastforwarding my life, we moved in officially to Kuchi home in Nov 2017 and Tui is officially back home with us after our honeymoon from Korea.

And i also took up Animal communications in the same month (one of the best life skill i have decided to invest myself in 😂). Because thanks to AC, I get to fulfill toytoys last wishes and brought her to Marina barrage. And i kid you not,i heard her saying thank you to me that night before she left. Its a weird feeling, but you just know its her.

Will talk more about Animal comm in details/ a separate post next time.

For the whole of 2017, I had been focusing mainly on building Making Mermaids - my little humble online shop selling mermaid theme handmade accessories for pets, babies and adults!

Chionged a total of 15 events +/- in the years, seeing how my customer base grew and came back to support me. Made alot of new friends and all. Truly blessed!

As for Tui, he had lots of adventures last year too! I havent been socialising him with other dogs for a long time as i always feel that he has dog aggression and will growl everytime a dog comes near. Until we were invited to Aiden's birthday party. It was Tui's first doggy party and i told him pls dun throw my face and be good ok.

The moment he met aiden, my jaw drop. he actually went over to sniff and wagged his tail OMG. plus aiden is a male dog leh!!! So from then onwards we had quite a few play dates venturing different parts of Singapore.. From Botanical garden to Seletar Aerospace, to bukit timah nature park etc.

Tui also has a girl friend who lived in the same block as us call bubu. shes probably the 2nd friend tui has and can get along well with ❤

Then came Ice and Joyjoy into our lives. I was longing for another shihtzu and i came across Ice adoption pic on fb. went to the drive and saw ice + joy. Joy resembles too much like toytoy and i jus couldnt take my eyes off her. Eventually on 19 april 17, Mummy adopted Joyjoy while Elise and I brought Ice out of the shelter and elise has been fostering her for the longest time. She stay over at my placr whenever her foster parents has to go overseas. And tui is incredibly patient with her. Im amazed.

Ice just went for her homestay 2 weeks ago and is pending to firm her adoption this week.

Wah sibeh long. for more detail snippets need to refer to Facebook post sia.

Ok actually this post is suppose to talk abt something else but well i guess i need to update on what happen in the last 1.5 yrs so can read back next time.

Next post soon!
