Week 31

I'm now in week 31 of my pregnancy. I really didn't put on much weight. So far I only put on 6-7 kg. My last check up was 2 weeks ago, now 2 weeks past by and I checked my weight at home. It didn't increase at all!!

I really start worry. Everyone also said my tummy was still so small. Only 2 more months to go. But I keep telling myself it's ok. Doc didn't say anything bad. And baby is growing in average weight increase every check up. But now, almost 8 months of my pregnancy. I still put on less than 10 kg weight. It's really too little!! I eat as normal. Most of the morning I had my breakfast even just a cup of milk. I never missed any lunch meals. I also had my tea-time most of the 3.15pm. Dinner was quite in-time also. I did took supper most of the nights even a cup of mama-milk. How come? I just can't put on weight!

I'm not sure what can I do besides keep eating. Now I try to talk to my baby, telling her to keep growing. "Baby, you must keep growing and be strong. Mummy will work hard also and don't worry that mummy will be suffer if you are big. Mummy will be happy to see you grow well and healthy. So we work hard together k? Gambate!!"

Valentine's Day

Another Valentine's Day... Well, nothing special happened this year, as usual I didn't get any present *sigh* But we watched a very nice movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

It's really a nice movie, cast by Brad Pitt. Well, I admit that my initial to watch the movie was because of Brad. I knew that's some kind of romance movie so choose to watch it on Valentine's Day. However, now I like the movie was because the story line itself. Of course Brad Pitt acted well in the movie =) Basically it's not totally a romance movie, it's a movie about life. Worth to watch it!!

Baby Gift Ideas

Dear all friends & relatives,

Well, I'm always a straight forward person, that wont feel 'pai sei' to ask for gifts. So here I came out of a list of gifts that you can buy for my little princess. Some I already bought it myself or there are kind parents 'donate' for me. Will also include the price as a guide for your budget.

• Pram/stroller

• Car seat

• Baby cot

• Play pen. (RM 180 – RM 1000)

• Bottle steamer/ sterilizer

• Breast pump – excellent piece for breastfeeding mums. Better don't buy it if you have no idea on how it works.

• Ear thermometer – a necessity caring parents must have. Very useful when the child is down with fever and parents need this to monitor the temperature. (RM 90 – RM 200)

• Baby carrier/ infant car seat – need it to travel my baby from my house to my mum's house when I'm driving alone. Better choose an O+ group. (RM180 – RM 800)

• Baby clothing – preferably 6 months onwards. Babies normally outgrow their clothing very fast and it's always advisable to buy bigger size clothes.

• Mitten and booties – mothers do not mind additional pairs because during the first three months, their babies just love the fingers and the change over are very fast. Furthermore, babies like to practise 'kung fu' during these months; mitten will prevent them from scratching their face. Of course I will be appreciating if you can get a cute one.

• Baby disposable diaper – I am sure every mum does not mind receiving more of this. A bigger size may be appropriate. DO NOT BUY NEWBORN

• Reusable nappies – I think I had enough of this, but if you have extra one want to 'donate', I won't mind.

• Baby developmental toy – this may not be useful immediately, but definitely a playmate for the baby as he grows.

• Child caring books for first time mother. – have enough reference books

• Books on baby food recipe.

• Baby sling – most probably for my hubby use it. lol

• Diaper bag – with good compartment and nice design will be appreciate

• Cooler case – a working mother and would like to breastfeed after going back to work may need it.

• Bottle warmer – to warm the breast milk after freeze.

• Mosquito net – Malaysia is full of fierce mosquitoes.

• Bibs - this is useful when the baby grows and their saliva drips non-stop! Again, would be appreciating if you can get a cute one.

Some of the prices still not sure, will find it out and update it. Anything that I missed out will also update in future. Some of these are really expensive, so you not necessary have to buy it yourself but can share with others. So do discuss among your group and let me know what will you buy, so the gift wont be repeated. Get what I mean?? Haha, I'm always very 'honest' in getting presents.

Second Trimester

Here's my baby when she was 25 weeks old. Second trimester start from week 16 until 28.

Thru out the second trimester, I felt quite comfortable. Morning sickness gone, and I was quite enjoy with shopping on baby stuffs and maternity clothes. I found a shop selling maternity clothes with reasonable price and nice in style. So actually I invested much on that :p But since it's only my 'first' pregnancy, I think it's worth to invest coz I can still wear it in future pregnancy.


I didn't put on lots weight, every check up only put on average 2kg. But doc said it's normal and baby's weight was on average. The most terrible thing that happened in this second trimester, was I nearly admitted to hospital due to a virus called chikungunya. It's actually something like denggi. But luckily the fever gone after 3 days. And doc said the fever didn't affect the baby. According to doc normally after fever, the amniotic fluid will decrease but mine didn't. So it's really lucky!

My baby always kicking in my tummy when I'm driving with music, teaching on Christmas songs, and most obvious when I'm trying to sleep. But I felt happy on her kick boxing, like now she seems like knowing that I'm talking bout her so she responding =) My tummy become bigger day by day, but it's not huge. Many ppl keep saying "how come your tummy still so small?". I don't like to hear that, I felt offense by their words. I think that it's not good to comment on pregnant woman's tummy no matter saying it's so big or so small. We, pregnant women need more positive encouragement than comments. Well, to make myself feel better after the 'hurt' feeling, I will tell myself they are just jealous that I still look slim with my healthy tummy =)

Actually I still cant sure she is a girl. During the last check up, me and darling decided to ask for the gender before we went into doc's room. But my little baby was so shy yet smart, she knew we wanted to ask the doc for the gender thus she chose a sitting position on that day. So doc cant really see it clearly. But most probably she is a little princess. =) See you in 3 more months my dear!
