Week 38 - Baby, you want come out liao mai?

This week was a mixture of different feelings. Zhunzhun 38th weeks today on Wed.

Everyday / every night paranoid and counting down to babys arrival.

Met up with le bff for Marutama ramen and yummy cakes in the noon, catching up on life. My initial plan was to go hone after 2 hours so I can have a quick nap after that but got so carried away we only parted at 4 plus 5 pm.

We had a impromptu celebration for Tuitui gotcha day with Aiden and his jiejies coming over. They are sooo nice to have bought him a cake, gift and treats!! Denden as usually was so excited to meet his bro and come into the house that he did a few funny barks 😂

Came the night when I was soooo tired but couldnt fall asleep despite gg to bed at 10pm. Twist and turn till 3 plus 4 am before I can finally sleep. (oh this was sunday night)

Monday night was me gg to bed at 11 plus and waking up around 4/5am AND THEN CANNOT SLEEP till 7 plus am when i napped on the living room sofa instead. Zzz

Spent the next day bathing Tui (sibeh xiong ah but he was very cooperative, i dont have to drag him only 骗它到 the toilet and he gave a worried face. So i sat there and told him this is probably the last time i can bath him before a long time and after awhile he walked inner by himself).

Kio the rubbish and some laundry. Finished up my half done CNY bows, took pictures, edited them and even manage ti finish doing the posters. Lol damn efficient yesterday.

For the n-th time i dreamt that i had successfully delivered baby out.

Eh hello bro. Last day of Oct liao, u wan come out anot? Today 31st oct is a good date leh. All the zehzeh and aunty in sg. Tml onwards ur god mother go hongkong sia.

And tbh a part of me hopes that u can be an oct baby instead of a november one.

On a happier note, I slept at 1 plus ytd and had quite a good sleep till 7plus this morning so im very happy now.

Shoud i try to vacumme the bed later? Hmm.. And maybe start working on your Silent Book (for training your motor skills next time).. See how ba!! First, need to think of breakfast!

Ok bai.

Week 37 - Counting down at home

Okay the time is finally here. The start of my "break" but isit really a break?

Day 1 at home was quite bad because I was feeling damn tired and pain everywhere. Woked up with a twisted or swollen vein on my left foot. Went to run errand at Compassone to drop cheque, had breakfast and walked back home already want my life. It sucked because i use to be able to move around so carefreely and now I can only take super small and slow steps. Not i dont want, but i cant increase the speed. Is like when you cross the road the car want bang u already but u cant do anything lol.

Sort of sprained my the other feet when i was walking tui in the evening. Sibeh sian. Stayed home and made bowties for 4 hours straight. And I also managed to update baby album to keep it on track.

On a happier note, lehubz went to buy Chinatown guotie for me cos i said i tot of eating that for breakfast ♥

Mama cooked codfish and bring over together with a nice cup of EAC blue coral milk tea. Shiok man.

...

Today is day 2.

Quite happy that i woke up to pee only at 6am in the morning inside of 2 3 4 5 am. Means i get longer quality sleep.

Walked tui in the morning, went down to buy cornflakes and milk for breakfast.
Sorted my bowties inventory, Sang for awhile, updated my website and marketing stuff, ironed lehubz shirt, kio the house, put bedsheet for nanny bed, took down the laundry and folded them, packed my whole freaking cupboard that is loaded with clothes that i couldnt fit.
Gonna do another AC in awhile.

Dear Aiden, please dont suddenly come out this 2 days ok. I want to eat hai di lao tomorrow night. See you on saturday!! Byebye.

Week 36 - Swab Test and Whopping Cough Jab + Happy 2 years Anniversary

It's meet the baby day yesterday 15th Oct 18, went for last round of pre-natal massage at Babies Bellies prior to going for the gynae appointment myself. 

Yesterday's session need to do swab test for GBS and had a whooping cough jab (sibeh suan when they inject in but still consider bearable). Baby is 2.8kg (wah your weight please dont shoot up too much okie), and surprisingly my weight didnt gain alot from the last time - 65.6kg. Was expecting to see a 66-67kg liao. 

Lehub specially woke up earlier to try bring Tui down for his morning pee pee walk and this fatty is like a dead piece of log LOL. Even with leash he also just lie there and let u pull. This morning ahwai had to resort to dragging and flipping tui's bed (with tui on it of course) to "pour" him out then manage to get him on his feet and faster leash him out of the room. Jialat this dog. 

Today is our 2 years banquet/ wedding anniversary (lol too many anni to wish). Saw a lil surprise on the dining table the moment i step out of the room and felt a lil tingling of happiness. 

Had a closer look and wonder what was written on this cookie. And, why a beer icon? Turned over and realise no leh, its not from famous amos = its not from singapore = ???

So i texted lehub and ask if its for me? but he didnt reply. 

and so I sent ahjess the picture and she helped me to google translate.....

"Welcome to Munich" it wrote. 

Nabeh. Heng I never anyhow take pic and hao lian or credit him for this "anniversary present" sia!! Malu like hell. 

So end up this is actually given by his Germany supplier cos October Fest. Zzz. And i think he happen to clear his bag and put it on the table. 

#thanks.

Jin jia happy anniversary. 

hahah. ok la on a side note we are going for a pot painting workshop this Sunday as part of the celebration. Last year we tried Pottery. HAhaha next year dunno can do wad liao. 

Week 34/25 - Reiki 1 workshop and what baby told teacher

New Milestone Clocked! 

Time flies and its finally the time to attend the long await Reiki 1 course. Looking back, I first came across Reiki when I was learning Animal Communications back in nov 2016. I thought it was a cool skill to learn so I can use it to heal and help animals too. Had plugged that into my to learn list in future but due to $$$ and you know, life goes on.. it wasnt really my priority.

This year, I got to know that Joanne actually teaches Reiki too apart from Animal Comm. And so I have been going to her website in and out to check out the workshops available. Decided to sign on the 2 hr workshop to know more about Reiki for animals. 

After the workshop I contemplated really hard as to whether I should go for the Level 1 course because 1. It cost $450 and 2. Im pregnant and the schedule available is during my last trimester (which i cant predict how my physical state will be like or if im able to cope). 

The original course date was supposed to be on 15 and 16 Sept 18 (Sat & Sun), which clashed with Nee Soon Pet Fiesta. When my friends ask if im joining the event I thought maybe no fate, cause im planning to go for the course. Who knows one day i received a Facebook notif that the Reiki course has been shifted to 6 & 7 October instead. T_T a part of me got worried cause it means even NEARER to my EDD. Will it be too taxing on my body by then? idk..

But what I know is, LOL now im free on 16th Sept to join Pet Fiesta, but i missed the application date. Thankfully I have really nice friends from Happy products to help me check with the organiser to see if I can still apply for a booth. and luckily I managed to squeeze in the last minute. TADAH! 

I asked baby if i should sign up for the Reiki course (still visiting the website page in and out for countless time because im not sure if i should commit). And baby say "Go for it". And so I did. 

Fast forward to this week. Im still mobile, just more tired easily and the swelling of feet #lastwarning. 

The class was a really small one with only 3 of us. I was quite surprise as I had expected more people. Gained alot of new insights about life and about self healing (to reflect on ourselves when we see problems in others). 一言难尽。 During the attunements I saw different things like : Colors. Sunflower around my teacher. Lavender field. Bamboo forest. And for the last attunement i saw 4 different things: 1. Caterpillar transformed into Butterfly, 2. a frog, 3. A shark underwater eating a smaller fish and 4. A wolf in snow area. (teacher says all these are very symbolic and they came in animal forms, perhaps I have affinity with animals this life?). Just recording them down so maybe in years to come I can decipher what do they meant.  

There's this part where we had to partner each other to do Intuitive Reiki Healing where you just follow your heart / intuition on where to position your hands for your partner. And cause we are odd numbered, I was assigned to partner with our teacher. As I closed my eyes, i realised she's going to places like my wrists, fingers, back, near my tummy,  knee cap and ankle. 

After the 10 mins session, she told me "your baby kept talking to me!" 

LOL! SEE!! Actually is can talk one, no joke. She's the 3rd person baby spoke to. 

And my teacher say baby kept telling her to reiki the 产门 (which we dont really know whats that?) but we figure out that he might mean the pelvis where baby will come out from? 

Then she ask me, your baby told me some other things, u wanna know? Of course! HAHAHA but what came afterwards gave me a mixed feeling and emotions. 

She say baby had ask her to Reiki my wrist and fingers because he say I will need to hold his hands to catch hold of him next time as he will be running about, and will need to grab till my wrist hurt. He also asked her to reiki my legs cause they will be tired from chasing him T_T. 

And that he will grow up to be a cheeky boy, but Thank you (to me in advance). 

Dear baby, thank you for being so considerate thou your mother's greatest fear and worry is that you will be over active and I need to catch/ chase you around. ZZZ HAHAH. Maybe this is how life puts me to test (the more u scare, the more u tio). I will try to tell myself next time to be prepared for chasing after you like a mad woman. On the other hand, I ought to be thankful that u are so considerate to get my teacher to help me ease the pain in advance. Thank you too. 

I hope this blog post serves as a motivation/ reminder to myself next time, or when you grow up. May you grow up with all the positive and healthy energy! 

Some random updates of Tuitui <3

Lazy ass

Cuddling beside me... 

One day he decided to look at me with these soulful eyes. 

Aiming for our Macdonald again..

Animal Communication - Convo with Tui

Despite speaking and connecting with so many other animals, I seldom have proper comm with my own dog. Because he complained to my friends that I talk too much. LOL. So recently I decided to dial on him and asked him a few things about the plans in the coming month.

He reluctantly accepted to talk because it was his napping time and he hates to talk during the day time. LOL.


Me: Hows your leg nowadays?
Tui: Seems fine for now. sometimes sore.
Me: Aching?
Tui: Here and there, but i can walk.

Me: Do u wan to go for another swim at Hydrocanine?
Tui: "I like the car ride but i dun like the swim. Water too cold. And why must they force me (to swim/ into the water). He say "i can float (dun need to swim)"
Me: Its for your legs ma. (Cause he has suspected arthritis and muscle wastage on his hind legs)
Tui:  but it does help
Me: So how? Wan go another time?
Tui: "u all decide la. i just wanna slp. if u wan me go den i go lor. make it fast

Me: Would u like to go for another outing with Aiden (like legit Aiden the SS, not my baby) ?
Tui: denden ah? ya lor so long never see him already. he wan come and play? saw an image of denden at our gate.

Me: Anywhere u wanna go before i pop?
I was telling him not much time left and thou i cant walk long for now we wan to bring him out another time.

Tui: Its ok, u rest. and sth like he can jus walk around our hse area
Me: Try to list some places la.

He say there feels spacious.

Me: U got anything to tell me?

Tui: she dun disturb me can lo. i will try to be nice

Me: She needs to walk around the hse, u ok?
Tui: i ok. (den shows an image of him with head melting on the floor, den his eyes will follow the CL to see what shes doing)
Tui: she lead her life i lead my life. but she cannot go MBR. that one is MY (tui's) room. I'll be watching her.

Tui: Sigh can u let me sleep already anot?
Me:  Ok la later come home i bring you go gaigai.
Tui: Ok come back soon, see u later. bye.


LOL. I sound like a needy gf trying to strike more convo with a uninterested boyfriend. tsktsk.

Week 33 - Talking to baby and false contractions

Oh hi! Im back after that emo day and thankfully Ive managed to pick my emotions up and count my blessings.

Before Preg: 54/55kg (too good life)
Current/ Last weighed at Week32: 65kg
Baby's weight: 2.1kg 

It's the last few days of September, and with October approaching, it means we are left with about 4 to 5 weeks before baby comes (anytime).

Looking forward to Oct because it's a month full of anniversaries and celebration (if we ever do). HAHA.

6th and 7th Oct - Reiki Class ( I hope im able to survive 2 whole days of this course)
10th Oct - ROM-versary
15th Oct - Gynae appointment (Swab test and Whooping cough jab)
16th Oct - Anniversary
21st Oct - Pattor-versary
24th Oct - Start of my leave/ working from home and counting down to Aiden's arrival. 
28th Oct / 29th Oct - Tuitui's official 2nd year of homecoming day with us <3
29th Oct - Waxing appointment (Not sure if baby will come any time earlier than that but ya please just baked a lil longer ok). 

For a record, I went to the salon yesterday to get my haircut and the person was blow drying my hair. And i heard baby saying "mummy, its very noisy again" LOL. #can. The last time he complained that it was noisy and disturbing his sleep was when I went to the dental for cleaning of my teeth. And the drilling sound was quite loud.

Few days ago i casually asked baby when will he be out and i got the number 25.  So I was like , oh yea 25th Oct seems fine, thou a lil early and its the 2nd day of my leave -_-. Then i looked at my phone and saw the date 25th (Sept) too.

That evening, I had a "contraction" episode and it was so freaking painful like food poisoning and you wanna laosai feel. It come and go within a few min but will be back in 10-15mins again. Was so scared that its gonna be early labour. Went to the toilet 3 times and thankfully by the last time (i had diarrhoea) and it stopped. WAS PRAYING SO HARD HE DIDNT MEAN TO COME OUT ON 25TH SEPTEMBER SIA. Cause lehubz was in Malacca for work trip. And its really too early for him to be out now. So I told baby, please choose a day your father is around. Not now not now.


Ok, till then!

Week 31 - Goodbye Pregnancy Honeymoon

It's been about a week since i step into 3rd trim? I don't know if due to me mentally thinking that its harder to go through 3rd trim, or it really is - physically. But this one week its really quite bad.

The aches (which is always there, got worse.)
The bump (which was fine and tolerable became very heavy and hard and constantly stretching its very gaoweh. Especially when I sleep at night cause I cannot find a proper sleeping position. Everytime i need to turn to move to a new position is like want my life.)
The itch (isnt helping at all, but im glad it got slightly better after seeing GP and getting the itchy med + new cotton panties)
The rage of emotions ( I used to feel i can still maintain it quite well but today is just very very down + negative. Maybe coupled with the soreness of body + having to walk tui 2 times this morning, rushing for work, the heat and sweat and long journey.. not to mention about the disturbing dream i had abt p. It kept haunting me.  i already cannot sleep properly liao and when i do, these kinda dreams appear. fml. )

I feel so pekcek now i wanna cry, but like no valid reason to thou. just... very pekcek at everything.

It's my last mermaid event this weekend, pet fiesta. But you know, sitting on the floor doing the bowties used to be enjoyable. but now i had to tahan to do it bcos i have to do it. the back is breaking everytime i sit, and i feel shitty when i have to get up to get some materials or packing stuff from else where.

I hate it when things drop on the floor or i had to pick up stuff from the floor (e.g kio-ing tui's bowl or putting it down, refilling his water cos i need to bend , and i need to hold my breath everytime i do it).

Den when yesterday i told ahwai hes the light master, key master, curtain master, rubbish master, pick shit master and wipe paw master and wash clothes master. he ask me den wad master am i.

i said im dog master. but apart from that idk wad i am already. felt so useless at that moment.
and with the bump getting in the way these days, alot of things that i used to be able to do, i dun feel like doing anymore (like sitting on the floor to wipe tui's paw bcos its very xinku), which in turn it might become ahwai's job also. And i can foresee i wont be able to bath tui soon also.. cause it requires alot more bending. den it will fall on ahwai again.

den wad can i do?!

i dun wan to jus be lieing down there doing nth like a fei ren. i want to be able to move about mobilely... happily and bring tui out more/ spend more time with him before baby comes. I want to be able to contribute to the household also.


why did i choose this path .... :(
