Today is the much awaited visit after waiting for 2 weeks to see babeebee. Mama's weight only +0.6kg to 72.9kg! The 2 weeks of strict diet finally paid off... Mama was telling papa that i thought pregnant ladies can have the excuse to eat more but somehow mama seems to be eating less and more restrictive of diet when pregnant. It's ok! Mama will eat all my favourite carrot cake, pratas, teh tarik and all the fatty food after babeebee is out! Most importantly is babeebee is safe and sound.
Despite mama's effort, babeebee's weight has estimated to balloon from 2.7kg 2 weeks ago to 3.5kg today, +0.8kg within 2 weeks. Dr Tham again kept repeating big head of 35cm and big stomach and everything big. Doctor is worried because babeebee is now in posterior position, whereby you are head down and facing mama's tummy, with your back against mama's back. This position makes labor longer and more painful and more difficult to come out from the birth canal. Given babeebee's dua tao, doctor now suggests mama and papa to choose C sect instead of natural induce as babeebee now is in posterior position versus last visit where you were still in anterior position.
Doctor also said mama's tummy looks huge because there is still a lot of water in mama's water bag and that's also why babeebee still can wiggle and move and change your position so often. No wonder mama feels so much movement from you especially every night, when mama read from internet that by now movement should be limited and need to count the kicks to ensure baby is safe. Notti babeebee move so much like 100 times a night until mama lost my sleep so mama need not count the kicks whereby minimally should have 10 kicks for an hour.
Doctor has scheduled another scan from the scan dept to be doubly sure of babeebee's size this Saturday, and he will also see us and scan us using his clinic's scan to have a confirmation whether you are indeed fatty bom bom. So we will get to see you again in a few days' time!! Meanwhile stay inside mama's tummy ok? With the ongoing contractions and big tummy, mama is unable to go out myself in the afternoon anymore as walking is increasingly difficult. Will see you this Sat for the scan scan! See you babeebee, be good ah!

Week 37: First check-in into hospital
It's week 37! This has been an exciting week because mama and papa got a scare that babeebee is coming out and we checked ourselves into the hospital at night at 10 plus. It all happened that mama been having contractions the whole day. It is manageable and not painful so mama and papa didnt really think much about it. At night when mama was going to shower after watching the usual running man show with papa, mama noticed there were blood stains in mama's underwear and got a scare. In the baby class and internet research, it was taught that that should be the mucus plug closing the cervix opening protecting babeebee all these months. When that comes off, it means labor is impending. Quickly informed papa and we both we were nervous and decided to check ourselves to the hospital for a check to be sure. Turns out that yes mama is having contractions but am still 0cm dilated. The nice nurse told us that doctor said we can either induce labor today since having contractions already and since already here, or we can go back after the 1hr fetal check and wait for more painful contractions then come back. After discussing we decided to go home and let babeebee comes out when you want to... babeebee be guai and come when you are ready ok?
Luckily, everything is ready for you already babeebee. Granny been diligently washing and sunning all your clothes and linens and they are all nicely folded back into your little green drawer already. The smelly piglets and bearie also agreed to shower to welcome you. Your baby cot has also arrived and we will put on the fresh linens when you are back home with mama and papa ok?
This week, papa and mama also went to an event with mama's cousins lucky mama won a second prize! Won a sealy bedsheets worth $750. Mama is not sure if it is really worth that much.. but happy that won something! We went for some catch up after that and had a group picture taken. Last group picture was 7 years ago when mama was just 25 years old!
Papa and mama are going to see you again coming Monday and we are excited to know how you have grown and of cos hear from Dr what he says about baby's progress or if he still prefers to set a date for inducing you. See you!

Week 36: Home alone week
This week, granny is out on a cruise trip with aunt kiki and when papa is out to work, mama is home alone. Papa and mama had to settle our own dinner and that gave us good reasons to utilize our new car and papa is happy to drive to wherever we feel like having for dinner for the day. Went to Zion hawker for their carrot cake / braised duck rice, jem for our favourite sushi teh, IMM for ipoh hor fun, Changi village hotel for our favourite crabmeat linguine, etc this week. Though mama and papa feasted quite a bit especially during weekends, good news is mama managed to maintain my weight for this week! This is due to controlling of diet during the day... Hopefully mama's weight can maintain for another week for the next doctor's appt!!
On Friday, Aunt bear bear aka Aunt Chloe surprised papa and mama with lots of pressies for you! Aunt bear bear is excited and can't wait for babeebee to be out to this world. Next time you must be a good boy and thank Aunt bear bear for the pressies okie?
Babeebee's car seat also arrived this week. Mama and papa bought this car seat based on Aunt YL's recommendation. Papa spent some time fixing it up and already placed it in the car car le. Hope you will enjoy the car seat in future ok?
Next week, papa and mama are looking forward to your baby cot's arrival! Granny is also going to wash all your clothes and bed linens to welcome you!

Week 35: Kaboommmm
This week mama's weight exploded and got a earful from Dr Benjamin Tham. 3 weeks ago mama was 69.8kg and today, mama has put on 2.5kg to 72.3kg. Babeebee has also put on much weight from 1.9kg to 2.7kg. Doctor gave you a nickname Dua Tao as he kept repeating you are too huge for week 35 le. Head big, stomach big everything big and doctor gave stern warning that it is dangerous for babeebee. He asked mama to go on a diet. So here I am on strict diet of no sweet drinks.. desserts.. no rice.. and hopefully mama will do well in the weight aspect and babeebee weight will slow down too. Just few more weeks to go for babeebee to come into the world and papa and mama will see you again in 2 weeks time.
On Thursday, mama and papa went to collect our new car car! We bought the car car mostly for babeebee as all our dating days we take public transport and when mama is pregnant with babeebee we took more taxi. As babeebee is coming out soon le so we bought the car so you can be more comfortable and more convenient when we go visit the doctor. Piglets and bearie got to go out with us in the car too! Ever since we got the car we have been going to different places to try the food. Went changi village for nasi lemak, adam road for prawn mee, geylang for beancurd, PS and IMM for cheap / free parking etc. Mama wanna try more yummy food before babeebee is out and confinement starts! But today doctor gave stern warning already. Mama is unable to eat as much as i want to...

On Thursday, mama went to meet my poly friends Aunt Samm and Aunt Kartina for some catch up. We had steamboat buffet where mama ate so much! That's mama's second buffet for the week! When babeebee comes out, you are going to see a fatty mama le!
Friday 5 Feb was Papa's 34th birthday and we celebrated by going for a staycation in town. Went back to our usual Holiday Inn at Orchard and lazy papa and mama ordered room service as we are lazy to walk out to brave the sun. We had the yummiest Char Kueh Teow which cost $20 and also grilled salmon! Both were so yummy and we ordered the same 2 items again for next day's lunch! On papa's birthday night, we went out to meet Uncle Allen who came back from NY for CNY holidays as well as a few other colleagues for dinner.

Week 32: Last baby class
Finally today is the last parenting class we've been going for the past month. Attended a total of 5 lessons and by today... papa and mama are very drained already... maybe because need to focus on the class and details so we are mentally and physically drained to travel to Novena for the classes every week.
Today we learnt how to swaddle baby, shower, different holding positions, etc. Basically a lot of information pouring into our heads for 3 hours each time. Hopefully will help a little when babeebee arrives into the world next month!

Week 32: Gestational Diabetes Test Day!
19 long days have finally passed since the last baby scan. Today is the day for GD test as well as babeebee's scan. Now that mama is in my 3rd trimester, the scan has been 3 weeks interval instead of the previous 4 weeks. Mama has been keeping a relatively healthy diet so as to pass the GD test and avoid pricking finger daily. Even yesterday, mama's 32rd birthday, papa and mama didn't feast. We purposely had healthy DTF for lunch and ask granny to just cook me mee sua soup for dinner so that the GD reading will not explode.
Mama had to do a overnight fast with only sips of water allowed. So kiasu mama started fasting at 11pm instead of the required midnight. The test lasted till around 945am and the results is......... mama JUST passed!!! 7.7 is the maximum threshold and if it is 7.8, mama would have failed the test. So happy and lucky to pass the test.. although it actually means mama still need to be cautious of my food choices. So control already still just pass.... mama thought I would get a good reading lo..
Mama was 70.4kg at week 29 and today, at week 32, mama weighs 69.8kg! Doctor Benjamin as well as papa and mama are all very happy over my weight. Doctor says mama is model student. He says mummies don't have to put on weight but baby will still grow and put on the necessary weight one. Baby has grown from 1.5kg to 1.9kg. Managed to get into the normal range but on the high side. (rather than out of the range the previous time round).
With all the good news of passing the GD test, mama's weight being stable, babeebee weight increasing... comes a bad news! Naughty babeebee has turned heads up in mama's tummy. I thought 3 weeks ago you already turned head down? Notti notti. Doctor Benjamin has advised mama to do a nightly 10 mins exercise of either raising the hips with pillows or down on all 4s to encourage baby turning... Let's see how it goes in 3 weeks' time!!

Week 31: Tired weekend!!
This week, papa and mama have to attend 2 baby classes - on Sat and Sun. We were so tired after the classes but managed to learn a lot from the trainer. Saturday's class is about pain relief and we saw different videos of mummies giving birth ranging from 0 pain relief, gas only, epidural, c sect epidural. The mummies without epidural are streaming their lungs out!! Such scary videos. Made mama and papa confirm our choice of wanting epidural. On Sunday, we learnt about how to carry babies and how to breastfeed and how to deal with breast engorgement issues. But learning is just learning, hopefully when babeebee comes, we can handle you well... so you don't be a difficult baby okie??
The thermometer that daddy ordered online has arrived! It is cheaper to order online at $99 rather than the retail stores. Thanks to resourceful daddy!
Lastly, look at mama's humongous tummy. It actually is much bigger than how the pictures look. Mama has a hard time sleeping well at night as it is difficult to move from side to side. Now that babeebee is much heavier, mama also been waking up to pee more often at night. Online says it is a good practice though when babeebee arrives as need to wake up for night feeds.
Next week will be a really exciting week as it's mama's birthday, we're having the gestational diabetes test and lastly but most most importantly, we can get to see babeebee again!! See you!!

Week 30: Shopping Spree for mummy!
As mama mentioned in the last post, the stretch marks cream and oil already finished and hence mama made use of today's Metro 20% sale and got all the stretch marks cream and oil as well as the shaping and cellulite creams for after pregnancy in advance since it is also birthday month for mama so mama can earn double points! Went with granny after our healthy chicken soup with noodle and spinach lunch at DTF.
The purchases at Clarins:
2 boxes of Tonic Oil
2 tubes of stretch marks cream
1 tube of cellulite cream
1 tub of body shaping cream
1 eye cream
Papa and Mama initially wanted to get Medela Freestyle pump to express babeebee's milk milk but upon further research and feedback from mummy's friends, we decided to get Spectra 9+ milk pump as there are many good reviews on it apart from the very good price of about $150 compared to $699 for freestyle. Papa ordered online and it arrived quickly from Korea within a few days!

Week 29: New clothes for mummy
Today papa and mama went to Spring Maternity at Jem again to buy new clothes since it is new year! Papa says get something that is not blue or green as the exiting 3 tops i have are either blue or green. So mama found the pink one and the black one! Fatty mama is wearing L for all the clothes. Since all the tops are nursing tops as well, so i guess it will last mama quite long even after babeebee comes out.
As usual mama and papa took a lot of Palmers coco stretch marks samples sachets as most of the time, mama will usually apply this after shower in the morning and afternoon before going out and only apply the Clarins oil and cream at night. Mama already finished 2 bottles of Clarins oil and 3 tubes of Clarins Stretch marks cream as well as so many of this Palmers sample sachets (maybe 20?). Next week there is Metro 20% sale again and mama is going to restock some oil and cream! Good news is so far there is no signs of stretch marks and hopefully it won't come out!!

Week 29: 6th visit to the doctor
Today we get to see babeebee again during the scan and mummy has gained another +2.4kg compared to last month and now is a whopping 70.4kg. Pass the 70kg scary mark already. Mostly cos papa and mama let go again and go back to our normal diet and feasting habits... Dr Benjamin Tham has returned from his holiday and we are so glad to see him this month instead of the cover doctor. As usual, he said mummy put on too much weight, but despite that.. he also said I am the most sensible mummy he has seen for today. Wa, does that mean other mummies weight all explode till very high? Ooops. So mummy is still not the worse la.
Babeebee has grown from 740gm last month to 1.5kg this month! Doctor had to measure twice to confirm as he says babeebee is too fat le. This is not too good as he says babeebee should be 1.2kg this week instead. He is afraid that mummy develop Gestational Diabetes and hence he has ordered a test 3 weeks later!! The scary test involves fasting from midnight, drawing blood and drinking a sugary sweet drink to see how the body is able to break down the sugar or something. If mummy fails the test, mummy has to prick the finger daily at home and Doctor reminded me the 5 dieting rules and also to exercise. Good news is that Doctor Benjamin mentioned babeebee has already turned and into the right position - head facing in and back facing mummy's tummy. Dadeedee is of cos very happy as he's been wondering if babeebee has turned already or not. hehe.
Scardy cat mama and papa got frightened by what he said. Doctor said... "Very good, fear is the beginning of wisdom!" Papa and Mama are determined to pass the test and so the next 19 days diet gonna be very healthy!
Attended our second baby class later of the day and learnt pain relief, breathing and massage technics too. By the end of the day we were so tired and KO...

Week 28: 3rd trimester babeebee
This week babeebee is 3rd trimester le! Internet says that babeebee will start to turn from this week to week 32. Hopefully babeebee will be a good boy and turn so that doctor doesn't have to cut mummy's belly ok?
We welcome the new year this week to 2016 and we celebrated the eve by watching Ipman 3 nearby followed by a yucks yucks BKT at Clementi Mall. We were so unsatisfied after dinner and babeebee is not full and happy after dinner too right? In the end had twister fries and it made us happier to welcome the new year. Papa and mama waited till past midnight and zzz right after. Our new year resolutions mainly evolve around you and the family, being happy and healthy.
This week we also attended our first parenting class by TMC. The instructor is Fonnie Lo and she is very experienced so we learnt quite a bit from the class. Papa and Mama also did exercise in the class and some of it were so difficult esp those pelvis exercise and those need to be down on 4s and curl the body ones...
Next week will be an exciting week again as we finally can see Dr Benjamin Tham again and to know how you are progressing!
