Name of Baby?

We have been randomly coming up with names even before trying for a kid.

I think its a really fun topic to discuss with your partner because we can jus on random day/time come up with lame names.

Hub mainly thought of girls name (living in denial) so since [ixxi] doesnt sound that nice ..

he came up with these:

- Penelope ( this is one he really like but seriously how many ppl can pronounce it properly sia) For me i used to pronounce: pen-ner-lope. But he say is: Pee-neh-low-pee 臘

- Vannellope (the cartoon girl.. quite cute but WHY SO LONG THE NAME OMG)

- Ascella (i like this but sadly if you google the meaning... )

- 乐妮 in chinese because ( wei le ni~ 为了你) i super like this name den he say he anyhow come out why i like?! hes just kidding. Nah im almost 90% sticking to this if its a girl. Now im fighting with him for the 简体 "乐" instead of "樂" cause he say the 繁体 more cool. Pls spare the child and mother the hassle ... 

So i brainstormed a few names for boys since hub didnt really care lol!!

- Ted (cos easy to call and Tui & Ted rhymes abit)

- Aiden (HAHAHAHHAA because Tui & Aiden are best friends and bros )

After i suggested Aiden he say like that girl call Wai YenYen la! LOL! Bcos.. Tui and Yenyen are siblings!! #can 

First trimester Preggy Symptoms

Heres a quick one! Many people will ask: What are the symptoms that you experienced? Did you vomit? Did your appetite change? so on and so forth.. I realised really different people have different pattern, some friends have aches and pain almost everyday, some puke like no tomorrow..

For me, my first few symptoms was
- Menses like cramp (i was so convinced that my menses is gonna come soon cause the feeling is really like what we have during the period).

- Swollen & pain in boobs (also seems like menses symptom thou)

- Nausea once in awhile, fortunately for me 🤞 i only had the nausea feeling at times and not the actual vomitting like how dramas always show LOL.

- Giddyness. Its real bad especially when i travel in train after work. I felt giddy + out of breath/hard to breath I had to squat down even thou its tak glam to do that. (what to do i got no bump for ppl to give up seats for me).. I always pray i get a seat when gg home.

- Change in appetite? Not really. i still love the food i love and hate the food i hate. Only thing is i kept craving for fruity/sparkling water like Snapple etc which i usually dont. I normally prefer milky products thou.

- Constant hunger but gets full easily. Really pity lehub bcos when i want to eat, i only eat a few mouth and he has to finsh the rest of my food. This explains why his baby bump is bigger than mine now.

- The mosttttt irritating part of all is.. the constant need to pee!!! Omg i cant emphasize how inconvenient this is to me. I can go up to 20times toilet in a day but everytime just a few drops nia. (No im not tui and im not marking my territory). The part where i had to wake 3 4 timez in the middle of the night is really frustrating i should jus sleep in the toilet. zzzz.

Temperament wise. This one u need to ask Wai because hes the one at the receiving end hahaha. I tried to maintain but i think there are times when i get really pekcek and irritated at him or things. But hes trying his best to accomodate and tolerant this nonsense liao. Very thankful he haven abandon me hahahaha.

Ok will come back to talk about our 2nd scan - Oscar test last Saturday 😁

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.
