All is well~
Just went for another round of check up this afternoon...results from the previous blood test shows that i do not have gestational diebetis(sorry for the spelling). Whoohoo...that's really good news for me... at least now i wun have ppl stopping me from eating chocolates... of cuz, i'll be more careful about eating too much sugar... dun wanna put on unneccesary weights...
During the checkup, the doc took my blood pressure and found out that it was higher than normal(previous checkups) so i was ask to wait for awhile later to have my pressure taken again... of cuz, after talking to the doc about the various doubts that i had, i felt that i have calmed down abit and this time when she take my pressure it was slightly below normal...duh!! wat the hell is wrong with my body... anyway, the doc din say anything so i'd juz assume that everything is gonna be fine...Pity Biyi who has to wait outside for me...i did ask if she'd like to join me in the rm but she wanted to stay outside to wait....
I was asked to lie down on the bed to wait for my tummy check and the doc was like pressing and jabbing on my tummy... not that it hurts but i was scared that she might hurt the baby...I know i shdn't be worried cuz she is a professional and a senior doc... then i asked her wat was the position of the baby right nw and i was told that the head of the baby is already facing down but not engaged... not sure of wat that means i asked her...the reply was that though it's facing down, the baby's head is not seated deep near the cervic yet...something like that... can't really remember wat she said...but that's roughly the meaning...
The doc also says that the nxt appointment will be in 2 wks time and so will be the subsequent ones cuz the due date is nearer and they need to ensure that everything is okie...During the next appointment, i'll be told about the cost and things that i have to take note during labour...maybe i can even have a view of the larbour ward... who knows... fingers crossed though...
P/s: this is the first time i completed my entry in such a short time... usually i take about 2-3 hrs juz to finish writing my entry....took 10 mins this time...shiok ar!! hahahaha!!

Negative Thoughts
As i watch my tummy growing bigger each day, i can't help but feel that my days of freedom are ending... Especially so when my friends are talking about going overseas for holidays...And when i voiced that i would like to go too, they will smile and say: "We'll talk about it after you've given birth." But there are simply too much to consider after i give birth. There's the financial issure and who is gonna take care of the baby when i'm out on holiday. I can't leave my mom to do all these by herself... after all, the baby is my responsibility and not her's.
Suddenly I realised that i have yet to publish any of my baby's scanned pics and i thought you guys might be interested...so here goes:
Baby @13wks old
Baby @22wks old
Come 10th Feb, I'll be having another scan and hopefully i can get u the pics of his face...provided he's facing the right side....
Guess that's all for nw... till then...ciao~

Counting down~
eyks....looking at the counter above i really feel the pressure...I mean... juz look at it...90 days left it says...that makes it 3 mths left...urgh@!
Yet to pack my hospital bag...my room isn't pack(not to mention CNY coming), and worst of all i hvn't decide if i wanna hv episotomy and epidural....urghx2!@#!
Wat have i been doing in the past 6mths? Really lagging i suppose...wondering hw will i eva cope when i need to return back to the workforce...not forgetting that i still need to give baby his night feed.... urghhhh$%$#$%!
hell...plenty of things nw crossing my mind and i'm constantly hving headaches...my last check-up wasn't that good cuz the sugar level in my urine was high...the doc suspect that i might be diabetic and suggest that i go for a blood test... I doubt i was diabetic cuz that night b4 the appointment, i had 3 ferrero rochers and a bowl of tangyuan(sweet dumplings). then the morning b4 the appointment, i had another 2 more bowls for breakfast....hw not to hv high sugar level that morning... but after that i was given straight instructions not to have anything sweet...but that wun do... i can't leave w/o chocolates....i must have them at least once a day....its driving me crazy not to eat chocolate....
right nw...Zhi Yi is very very active... can really feel him moving most of the time... my tummy looks like a waterbed... if u know wat i mean...it doesn't really hurt that much except those occasional stretching that he makes...it makes u feel like ur tummy is gonna burst open...and boy u're so heavy...nw i can feel the strain even juz walking for <1 hr...nowadays i hardly ask ppl to go out with me...cuz i feel so cumbersome...feel like humpty dumpty...hahaha...not to mention that i feel like one big ball...
Anyway, all i can do nw is wait for the moment to arrive and be patient about it...already feel that i'm getting very impatient...actually i do think that i'm still not well prepared for the arrival and yet i dunno what is it that i have yet to do/ learn...kind of make me worried...
