fluey march start!

after the 1st march party at esplanade, i ended up sick. flu bugged me again. got 3 days of mc. felt miserable. lost appetitate. was at gynae earlier than actual appointment date to see gynae for mc on 2nd march. baby moved alot before i went into for my turn after 2hours of waiting! in total i have gained 8kg, which my gynae said its acceptable and blood pressure is good. but i have protein in my urine... he reminded me about my sugar intake. read about it once i got home. with protein in urine, there is a high chance of earlier delivery. i have been telling gx about how i feel that i mit give birth earlier and its much earlier than estimated duedate...

for 3 days, i was home, sleep, eat, surf, watch tv till i fall asleep and wake up take food and med and repeated the actions thru the clock. looked into websites for full-month cakes and gx & i came to a decision that we mit not hold a full-month party, unlike as we have planned even before the baby came along. after coming up with the guest list... in total we have about 200 guest. that made us bonkers! its almost like a mini wedding! so we decided to keep things simple. but nothing is finalised yet. gx was sweet to pamper me with massages on some days and pamper baby with bedtime stories on other days. with regrets i brought all my storybook collection to mum's place and both mum and i dun know where the books are placed now... gx has read our baby the 3 books i bot from school bookfair this year.

5th March Thurs, went back to school, still sniffy but at least less muscle aching but a very sore back at the end of the day. i was glad i cut my after-school activities and tuition to be able to go home to rest thou very painful to cut away almost $500++ shopping money! heard from collegue that isetan had sale for nuk nuk milk bottles. so i called dap who's on leave and met her at isetan but there was no sales on the bottles... but i bot our little gal more socks, homewear booties and mittens!

there was a french food fair and i bot a bottle of chestnut jam to try. yet to open it and will post comments when i eat it! was hungry and gx was gog to work late, so i went to big o with dap. we shared fish and chips, our favourite chicken wings and spike d for dessert. finally i have some durians and moreover combined with chocolate! heavenly! shared with dap my macau trip info and i miss my trips alot! but i dun get grumpy when i hear people gog on trips, instead i feel excited for them. holidays are always fun! just before i went home, checked out ck tang fruit stall and i bot cherries! went home i ate almost half the packet! slept early after the long day!

friday 6th march, decided to go home for a homecook meal. called mum early and she got mary to double boil chicken essence for me. after school i head to yishun and got bacon and asparugus for the bbq. i lugged the heavy load and took a bumpy bus ride that almost make me swear!!! glad i went home to have a meal... felt warm. haha esp after the chicken essence! tried looking for the story books but i can't find it! went home after chatting with mum in the gardens.

saturday 7th march - lazed at home till afternoon. my kind in-laws fetched us to downtown east to attend the chalet sis booked. gx decided to drive them to the loyang temple. after we left the temple grey clouds covered the sky and it rained. it rained very heavily and the thunder was drumming continously and it seemed endless... i was worried about the bbq... we both walked about at the e-hub to check out the place and joined bro and cam to buy the rest of the food stuff. will post pics of the bbq in the next entry! i was glad that the rain stopped and the nite weather was cooling.

Sunday 8th march - gx and i got ourselves out of the house to do grocery shopping. we managed to get our little gal 4 tops. i prefer ribbon tops for newborns for daytime. i am prob influenced by my mum. then we head home with our lunch. straight after lunch i napped! woke up in the nite, cooked noodles with the last 11 ngoh hiang balls and watched lara croft. ate my favourite apple and its organic! got it from ntuc, its got this very apple smell and taste... will prob blog on it soon and before the last bite cos i didnt see any at ntuc today. hope they continue to bring in these lovely apples from US.
