The November Affair ♥

*Friday 24th Oct*

Hello Lion Cityy, I'm back! 3 months no see aah, still looking handsome and I missed you a lot :P 

When I was back in our ulu home, I was greeted by 'W E L CO M E  B A C K  W I F E Y'. 

Awwww Hubby, I shud give you the 3S(SHOO SWEET SIA) Award HAHAHA.  Anyway thankiu love ♥

Just so you know, me being kiasi, I did follow the traditional confinement rules. WAHHH I TEL U VERY MISERABLE LOR.

Pity us, the caesarean mothers, as if it's not jialat enough to have a cut on our tummy, now got food restriction samo.

Everyday babi ikan veggie or ikan babi veggie (errr is there a difference?) :/ and lotsa soupppp (for those milky boobies ahem but i never BF laa hehe) and ONLY warm drinks allowed.

Mind you, not plain water samo. Everyday red date tea / black date tea. Urghhh SUCKS TSK.

So when I was back in SG, I macam just escaped from jail. BRING ME FOOOOOOD!

Cold drinks are still not allowed until 100days but Fuck it i sudah buay tahan liao. What are confinement rules anyway? :P

So what is dressing up? God knows how long I've never played that ): 

What I had in my wardrobe were maternity dresses and.. maternity dresses. See all those nice nice crop tops and skorts oso kua gian!

But nowwww, BRING EM ALL TO ME MUAHAHAHA! 

Which is why I shop really crazily this month. -_________- 

I broke up with mani pedi session during my pregnancy days because I had a hotter date in my tummy :P 

HAHAHA nolaaa, cz I think the chemicals in those gel nail polishes might be harmful to the fetus, so better dun risk! #kiasi-again

Mani Pedi, now we happy happy patch back okie? :D

*Saturday 8th Nov*

When I was preg, I wasn't really in the mood to do couple thing with Hubby (told you I had a hotter date in my tummy right?). HAHAHA I kid. 

Pregnancy is a tiring thing okie? That time I just wanted to date with the bed. 

That weekend Hubby and I had an impromptu staycation. 

Studio M was our hot date of the week. Shoo hoooottt that I have fallen head over heels for it.

Oops Hubby don't touch that vinegar alright.

After our dip in the pool, our tummy were demanding for foooooood so we headed out for dinner at Robertson Quay.

Wine Connection saw a sticky date couple dining there that night.♥

Hehehe gonna admit this shamelessly, we're the sticky date couple ♥

Thankiuu for sticking with me thru thick and thin. Happy 17th monthsary Harrrrrrbeeeeeee x

The rain was in a bitchy mode that night and we had to cancel all our plans and guai guai go run back hotel. Walao jealous rain is jealous @*#$*#@

*Sunday 9th Dec*

-- C h e c k  O u t  D a y --

Obviously we were the late birds, so we missed out the hotel breakfast. Settled our brunch at Epicurious, which was shoo goooood. 

Look at my bulging tummy, tsk no eyes see. But dont care laa cz the carbonara was too nice hehehe :P #imthamchiakliddat

*Saturday 15th Nov*

For this week, the attention was all on our new placeeeee! Goodbye kampung, Hello cityyy ♥.♥

Alright allow me to steal the attention for a while hehehe.

A lot of ppl have been saying that I dun look like a mum who just gave birth 3 months ago because I slimmed down pretty fast? In fact even thinner than my pre-pregnancy body.  

Heeee shoo grateful for that bcz I believe 'zao-heng-after-giving-birth' is every girl's biggest nightmare.

Say H e l l o to my first love, Z a v e n  L o o. 

Being a mum is worth every stretch mark and sleepless nights. My little one make its all worthy.
After all, he's the one who knows how my heart sounds like from the inside.

MUMMY HEN AI HEN AI NI! ♥ ♥ ♥

Signing off x. 

Welcome to My Life

Sunday 9th Nov 2014..

Welcome to My Life ♥

*At Birth // 27th Aug 2014*

F I N A L L Y, like finallyyyy! *throws confetti* 

I had my delivery date scheduled on an 'auspicious date', HUAT AAH! (ps: call me the superstitious aunty) and I'm glad that Baby Z was able to 'check out' on this date..

I had false alarm (like he's gonna come out) for a few times during my late pregnancy and that scared the shit outta me..

27th Aug 7am : Did my check-in  at the 'hotel' for the next 3 days of stay.. Then I was brought to the maternity ward, and oh well, the nurses there must have tot to themselves 'a timid beech has arrived FHL'..

I have SUPER LOW tolerance of pain :(

27th Aug 8am : I was wheeled into the Operation Theatre (OT) and I was laughing all the way! Cant bliff it, I tot I would be crying like mad. The doctors x nurses knew how timid I was so they did their best to minimize the pain while putting the drip into my hand / taking my blood sample for the blood cord bank. I was treated like a boss in the OT because there were around 10 nurses to help, one was checkin on my blood pressure, one was giving me anaesthesia,  one was injecting sumthing into my drip and before I got to know what the rest were doing, I fainted, fell asleep HAHAHA.

27th Aug 11am : Seriously anesthesia gave me the BEST SLEEP of my life. I could have slept longer but I was forcing myself to get up to check on the lil one's condition. No words could describe the feeling when you see ur son for the first time x

*Mami Loves You, Zaven Loo*

DAY 1 // Pain Level After C-Sect : 4/10 (more like period cramp hmmmm) 

28th Aug : WAHHH Zaven, you're just 1 day old and you have a gf already aah? HAHAHAHAHA. My Lil Sis gave birth the next day and that's her pretty baby girl. We requested to sleep next to each other in the ward and our babies were even sleeping together! ONCE IN A LIFETIME MAN SO DIE DIE MUST BLOG. I got to experience the 'real pain' post-surgery today as the nurse removed my urinary catheter and I was forced to walk to the washroom ): 

Thank gawd Hubby was there the whole day to support me in everything ♥ 

DAY 2 // Pain Level After C-Sect : 7/10 

*At Confinement Centre*

Signed up for the same confinement centre as the Lil Sis but decided to forfeit my 500 bucks deposit and just go home. Thanks to the confinement nanny who scolded my baby infront of me @#$%$#@!

Thank gawd we managed to find another confinement centre at the last min. 

Totally living the life of a boss : Having the room all by myself (tho it's freaking small), meals being served  into my room 5 times a day, just press the bell whenever I wanna see my Baby Z and they will bring him up into my room. 

A surprise from the sweetest thing came all the way from SG on our monthsary night. ILY B ♥

"A surprise for the beautiful wife, and lovable mother. We love you" 

From Zaven and Daddy. x

m y  c h e e k y  b o y  z a v e n  xx

*Full Moon*

According to Chinese customs, when a baby turns one-month old, we will celebrate his first full month of life. 

And the babies will get their hair shaved. But but but... My Zaven's hair very nice leh for a newborn ): 

Tho I was pretty reluctant, I gave the nanny a green light to shave his hair. 

And I'm glad with that decision cz I think he looks cuter w/o hair HAHAHA.

LOOK AT THAT BALD HEADED BB! I WAS LAUGHIN NON STOP HAHAHAHA. 

Full moon dinner x Full moon gifts to celebrate this happy occasion.♥

This naughty boy was sleeping throughout the dinner tho he was the star of the night hehe..

Getting to see him growing naughtier and fatter day by day is a gift. x

Being a parent is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I enjoy every stage from pregnancy to labour and it's my regret for not enjoying it to the fullest because,

BEING A MUM IS AWESOME!

I thank God for giving me these 2 boys in my life. Love you guys always, and forever.

xx

Parenthood : 98% Loading!

Tuesday 26th Aug 2014..

Parenthood : 98% Loading! ♥

 In the blink of an eye, I'm counting down to the final day to see my Baby Z!

From finding out about the pregnancy to, living life in hell during the first trimester, to feeling his first kick (7th Apr), to having the gender surprise (3rd May), to second x third trimester..

Watching him grow from day to day, from the size of a poppy seed to the size of a wintermelon, to me, it is a big achievement.

Cant bliff that I have conquered the first x second trimester and 98% of the third trimester, and the next big thing?

The battle in the operation theatre which will bring me a new status, A MUM. (And of cz, a scar too)

Pregnancy has been pretty bearable on me EXCEPT for my first trimester (alright mebbe not that easy after all) :/

  I am blessed with stretch-marks-free belly, rare leg cramps and backache despite my spine condition.

As the big day is drawing nearer, I am getting nightmare more frequently..

Afraid of going into the operation theatre, the pain after surgery, how to carry a bb (I dun even know WTF), and shoo many more!

Plus the tot of needing to follow the traditional confinement rules is STRESSING ME OUT D:`

Thank god I have Lil Sis as my companion, we're expecting our babies at the same timing! Coincidence or wat? :D

Here I am, done packing my hospital bag. I hope that I did pack courage along with me.

Words cant describe how grateful I am to God for blessing me with this baby and a healthy pregnancy.

The next thing I pray for is a safe delivery x healthy baby.

See you soon Baby Z, xx.

Counting Down

Sunday 13th July 2014..

Counting Down ♥

H E L L O! Mama Blogger is back.Sorryyy bloggie for the SLOW update. 

Ever since I got preg, I have been reallyyyy lazy x stupid x forgetful. *points finger at pregnancy*

Mama Blogger is currently in her 31st week of pregnancy. Pregnancy is gonna be over in 7 weeks time. Walao time, u're on bullet train aah?

Well I'm sorry if you are reading this with an empty tummy. This is what u get for reading a preg lady's blog HAHAHA.

Come onnnnn, PREGNANCY IS ALL ABOUT FOOD. I'm eating for two pleaseeee *ahem excuse* :P 

Mind you, I'm a glutton mamaaaa. I have pretty HUGE appetite which explains why I have gained 7kg throughout the pregnancy. 

Howey Junior weighs about 1.6kg now, which is slightly heavier than other babies around his week.♥

 'I'M HUNGRY' is my fav line these days because ppl will bring me FOOD! :P

Preg relli dai sai wan HAHAHA. Pity the Hubby as he has to endure my chicken rice craving because that is like his son's fav food HAHAHA.

 TBF, it feels pretty embarrassing when I am still eating while the rest have already stop eating. But boh pian lor, if I dont feed that naughty boy of mine, he's not gonna leave me alone :P 

Sometimes he kicks shoo often after my meal, I don't even know if that's a sign of him liking or hating the food I eat.

It was indeed a diff birthday this year. Now, I am carrying a license of a wife and a mum.

I know it's a tough job but I will learn, for the sake of these 2 boys in my life.♥ ♥

 

Howey Senior x Howey Junior, they are both my priorities now x.

A healthy and happy lil family is all I ever wished for ♥ Simple as that.  

Lately, I've been dreaming a lot bout hospital wards (This will be my first hospitalization FYI). It feels shoo surreal, OHMGEE I dun even wanna think bout the pain that I will be facing ):

Even dreamt of how Howey Junior looks like! His name says it all, totally like his dad ♥.♥

Counting down to the big day! I wonder is he gonna be August or September baby? 

But definitely not July baby aah Howey Jr! You're still too small! Enjoy ur last month of stay in Mama's tummy :P

Alright he's kicking while I'm typing this so I guess he's acknowledging. Good boy HEHEHE!

Till then, I will be back... soon, with a 3D pic of his hopefully? x

My "Honeymoon" Period

Saturday 24th May 2014..

My "Honeymoon" Period ♥

Mamaaaa blogger is back ♥ Nope this is not a blog post bout my honeymoon trip with Hubby.

To most women (like me!), second trimester is our honeymoon period. So WHYYY honeymoon period?

Because morning sickness has ended (touch wood!), and my energy is back! I'm able to go out again! :DD

*Healthy Diet*

HAHAHA eating healthy is totally pian ren de. I ate lots of fast food and instant noodles and I cant say no to sugary drinks especially bubble milk tea. *slap slap*

But for the sake of Howey Junior, I've been spamming lots of supplements. (SUPER KIA SU HAHAHA)

*Food Cravings x Food Aversion*

Ppl usually say that during pregnancy, you will tend to eat things you don't normally eat and the food you love will turn you off. THIS IS SHOO TRUE PLS. 

Ppl who knows me well,knows that I'm totally a tomyam lady. But now I hate it so much to the extent that you cannot mention tomyam / BKK / or anything related to Thai to me. It makes me feel nauseated -_________-

And now I have serious craving for oriental cuisine, which I don't usually eat before I got preg.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, VIVIEN ONG? *points finger at Howey Junior* :P

*Eating For Two*

 I am ALWAYS hungry x ALWAYS eating. Am currently into my 6th month pregnancy and I've gained like 4 - 5kg already?:3

Although doc said it's normal but it was such a shock to see the num on the weighing scale! On the other side, a lot of  ppl say that I look like 4 months preg instead of 6 hehe.

(Another excuse to eat more HAHAHA)

*Getting Ready*

Howey Junior : Daddy Daddyyyyy, what are you doing with my 'car'? :/

Alright this Howey Senior over here, is really obsessed with stroller, especially the MINI brand.

My vote is with the Union Jack one, and his is the black one. So who's with me? :DD

 I am almost ready to be a mum. Except the part of giving birth. OHMGEE JUST KILL ME ):

I will be choosing C-Section, which I don't get much support on this, especially my mum.

I know it's gonna hurt like hell after the operation and takes longer time to heal but better than natural birth without epidural (due to my spine condition). 

Urghhhh either way is gonna hurt like fuck. SIGHH I have super low tolerance of pain mannnn ): ): ):

*My Baby Is A Future Footballer*

Buay tahan with this Howey Junior. I think he spends like 70% of his time kicking his mum and 30% sleeping. 

He is SHOOOO active that when I did my detail scan, the radiologist had a hard time to take pics of him because he was busy moving around. HAHAHA.

Whenever he kicks, it automatically puts a smile on my face. Especially it feels damn ticklish hehehe.

Being a mum is really awesome. HOWEY JUNIOR is the best thing that ever happened to me ♥

xx

Welcoming Howey Junior

Friday 10th Jan - Sat 3rd May 2014..

Welcoming Howey Junior ♥

*Friday 10th Jan*

Shortness of breathe, Fatigue, Feelin feverish. And.. a missed period.

However, I had my usual PMS symptoms that month so I tot I was fallin sick. (Ironically, preg symptoms are pretty alike with PMS)

The cheapo me tot it was just another false alarm so I decided to grab a cheapo preg test kit (just SGD9).

Turned out to be : TWO LINES. WOW. The night that changed my life forever ♥.♥

Since the second line was pretty faint, we went to the clinic two days later. But guess what? 

The doc said he wasn't able to confirm the pregnancy bcz the second line was faint, again. -________-

As I betui die die wanted to know, I made my way to Watsons after that to grab another test kit (this time better brand HAHAHA).

It turned out to be 'PREGNANT' so YAYYYYY! ♥.♥

*Monday13th Jan*

Hubby and I went to the gynae to confirm the pregnancy, before breaking the news to our parents.

The moment when I saw my baby via ultrasound, I was tearing! (':

So, the doc confirmed the pregnancy and baby is in the right position! SO YAYYYY I am officially preg!  ♥.♥

At this point, I knew I had to give up smoking and my monthly gelish mani pedi appt (baking ur nails under the UV lights during pregnancy is not advisable).

But I'm more than willing to make any sacrifices for my bb as long as it is beneficial to him / her.

P/S : I am really happy that my dream came true! I've always wanted to be a young mum :DD

*Sunday 19th Jan*

The night before I flew to BKK, I had this 'spotting' going on T_______T

Ohmygod I was crying and even tot of canceling the trip. Called my gynae the next morning and he said it was alright, I just had to to increase the hormone pills he gave to me (to stabilize the pregnancy).

 

My spotting got worse on our last day in BKK so once we touched down SG, we went straight to the hospital.

Thank gawd everything was fine! I was crying when we stepped out from the doc's room bcz I was worried sick.

Howey Jr, do you know that you mean so much to Mummy? ♥

*Wednesday 22nd Jan*

Wow I went to the gynae 3 times in just 9 days.The fees cost us bout SGD600 already? WTF.

Wasn't feeling quite well after my BKK trip, I've pretty much lost my appetite due to nausea and doc said it might get worse durin CNY WTF.

But it was not until CNY that I've started to experience vomiting. Like serious vomiting. 

Threw up every meal, I could barely eat. Worst part? There were blood streaks in my vomit!

I've vomited too much that I've hurt my esophagus, I could even feel the pain when I breathe.

It was a horror to see yourself vomiting blood. No joke! ): ): ):

*Thursday 6th Feb*

Back in Penang for CNY Celebration. I was taking medicines from TCM, so I was feeling a lil bit better?

I was still vomiting pretty often sigh.

Got to see bb's heartbeat today! ♥

I tot I was doing better so I returned to SG on that weekend. The moment I touched down SG, everything turned out to be a nightmare again. ):

I guess my BB hates SG hehehe!

*Wednesday 12th Feb*

Everyday, all I can do was lying in my bed and vomiting after every meal. Could hardly step out from the house because I had pretty serious shortness of breathe.

Did I mention that I heard my baby's heartbeat today? ♥.♥ SHOO GAM DONG PLS!

Flew back to Penang a week later so that my personal nurse, Mummy Ong, can take care of me ♥

*Friday 7th March*

Back in Penang, vomiting got worse. Howey Jr, you dont like Penang too? :/

There was once I threw up for 10times! Cant even take any food, fluid and medicines! ):

Sigh, the toilet bowl is like my new boyfie, I hug it more often than I hug my hubby WTF.

 

Finally, my first trimester is over and I can announce my pregnancy! :DD

BB was rubbing his eyes (what his dad does best) when doc did the scanning. Like Father Like Son ♥

 *Tuesday 25th March*

Went for my check up today and this time my naughty bb didn't rub his eyes anymore. 

He was sucking his thumb HAHAHAHA! Buay tahan, every time check up sure got pattern to show.

*Saturday 3rd May*

If you're wondering how do I look like right now, here is the answer to ur curiosity! :P HEHEHE.

I am currently 5 months pregnant and I just found out the gender today! :DD 

So what do you think? A girl or a boy? (:

Hehehehe so yeaaaa, it's a bb boy ♥ It came to me as a surprise because I was expecting a bb girl!

Previously he was hiding his ding dong by crossing his legs (Hehehe a shy boyboy!) but today damn proud laa him, showed to us twice samo HAHAHA.

I'm so gonna dress up my Howey Jr like this! Aviator glasses x Loafers x Plaid shirt. 

Chio siaaaa. Then next time take OOTD shots with Mami okie? HEHEHEHE ♥

*

 Pregnancy is not easy, but I know it's gonna be worth it.
Cant wait to see our Howey Jr, another 4 more months! x

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
