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 ♥

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 ♥
