Putu Mayong

I've been thinking of putu mayong for few days...and yesterday night after our family dinner at CRC restaurant, i asked dad to detour to Pulau Tikus market to buy putu mayong.

At first, we wanna share it with our little sweetie, Kelvin, however, as soon as we reached home, he went into the room, ask for milk then go to his lala-land. So end up, me and hubb share the putu mayong. Yum yum, i love the brown sugar, but i didn't wallop lots of brown sugar as i am not suppose to take too much of sugar at this point of time.

After mayong, i went to lala-land happily. But....i keep roll left and right, can't sleep well as baby is doing gymnastic inside! For the past few nights, i can't sleep well, it's either baby doing gym inside or i gotta wake up for wee wee.

It's back! It's back!!!

Has been quite long i didn't crave for food and this feel come back again!!!
I suddenly think of eating red bean soup with Japanese mochi!!! I had this when we were having buffet lunch in Kampachi Restaurant at EQ Hotel. I wallop 3 small bowl of red bean soup with mochi, and then forget about it until today....

How ar? This weekend cook red bean soup and make own chinese muar chee and add it into the soup to kill the crave?? But then, can i hold on my crave til this weekend or will i have another new and weird craving on tomorrow??

Ohhhh ouuu !

For these few weeks, i seems don't have good appepetite like what what people a preggie should have. No doubt that i feel hungry easily, but i don't have appetite to eat. Whenever i am hungry and as soon as i see some food, i feel full. No idea what i want to eat, all food seems kinda bored to me. I wanted to eat something nice, something special, which i don't know what is that call. Maybe one day i will find out the name of the so call special food that i am thinking of.

So far, i gain about 5 kg and i am aat 23 weeks now. Since doc didn't complain on my weight gain nowadays, so i also take it easy, if i don't feel like eating, then i will just look for some snack and munch, that's it!As for dinner, i don't feel like taking rice, so i will just wallap a fish, that's it. And during this pregnancy, i don't take supper, mainly i prefer sleep more than eat, secondly, i need to tug my sweetie cheey son to bed.

Hmm, my pregnancy hormone make me crazy again?? probably! HAHAHA! Happy preggie-ing!

Yum yum Mangosteen!

Told mom that i think of eating mangosteen, and she asked me to wait for dad's friend to get us from his orchard. After looooong wait....and i nearly forget about it, finally, yesterday when i got home, mom told me there is pack of mangosteen waiting for me in the kitchen! Luckily this time, the crave for mangosteen is not as strong as crave for ampula! hahaha!

So after dinner, i wallop around 10 mangosteen. I keep telling myself to stop eating, else i guess i may end up eaten more than 10. Yum yum, so juicy.

And i guess could be due to the mangosteen, i feel that my stomach has lots of wind at night. Well, again, not sure it's stomach wind or baby's movement. Yes, i am a super blur preggie. Another privilege of preggie what!! HAHAHAHA!

And now guess what...i suddenly think of BAK CHANG! (White glutinous rice dumpling)

Me me and the moody me!

For don't know what reason, this round's pregnancy seems a lot of different comparing to my first pregnancy.

First, i crave for food, having weird crave list.
Second, i am very moody. always have a thought want to cry out loud. **Maybe there is something deep in my heart which i want to express out?**

I feel like go look for a super sad movie, watch it and cry over with the actors and actresses!

I know you may think i am crazy, but this is me me me and the moody me. I also don't know why.

yummie yummie fruit from friend....

An old friend of mine, (yes, old friend.....coz we know each other for almost 7 ~ 8 yrs, consider old or not, hahaha! but both of us very young, ok) dropped me a surprise phone call in the morning telling me she managed to get me 1kilo of amupla from Jelutong market.



Ampula ampula...yum yum, for don't know what reason, my latest crave is AMPULA!!! Searching high and low, up and down, left and right , still can't get it...and taaa daaa...Angeline found it for me!! Thanks dear, muak muaaakkk.

Can't wait to go home right after my breakfast. I keep thinking of ampula ampula ampula on the way back. And as soon as we reached home, i quickly checked with mom where is the ampula, and when i see those ampula, i get shocked!! Man....she gets me big ampula!!! Mom asked whether want to turn those ampula into juice or not, and i told her, NOPE!!! I wanna bite it, one bite one bite one bite...yum yum! And to my surprise, my little sweetie ask for a bite when he sees me eating the ampula. I guess must be the way i eat it attracted his attention. And to our surprise, he loves it too, and keep asking for more!

Again Angeline, thanks for the wonderful fruit, it makes me feel so happy after eating it!!!

Will let you know what is in my next crave list ya!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

This round...my prgnancy crave list

Yesterday, i had lunch with Aurelia's dad, KT. He doesn't know i am pregnant, i manage to hide my tummy from his sharp eyes during the past 2 lunch date with him. Until yesterday he said how come recently i keep posting all sorts of challenging question to him, ask him where can i get this and that...and i told him i crave for this and that, and he said high chance that i pregnant.

So....... at the end, i told him the truth!! And guess what, he make me crave for pan mee!! So at the end we, yes, only me and him, ok, went out for pan mee lunch date. We don't mean to go out dating secretly, ok, hey...i am telling u guys that we are dating...so we don't do anything under table, we date under hot sun...but yesterday the weather so cooling, so we dated under he roof!

During lunch, he asked me whether i ever think or crave for satay! Hmm.....i told him,as of this moment, not yet. HAHAHAHAHAAHA...and here is the list of craving that i have...

jeruk mango
markisa juice
acar
laksa + fried rice

Come to think of it, when i preggie with Kelvin, i don't crave for food, i do prefer chicken over fish but not crave for chicken. But this time...all funny crave will come into my mind out of sudden!

So fun!! coz i get to give all my friends all sort of challenging question, "when can i get this ?"
HAHAHA!

yeah yeah!! ampula, yum yum

craved for ampula for few days, and on Wednesday nite, during dinner time, i told Kelvin that mummy want to eat ampula, and to my surprise, my mom told me that she and dad found it from the fruit stall outside Mandarin cafe. FUYOH!!!

Dad took it out from the fridge while mom helped me to remove the skin of the ampula...see, this is one of the privileage preggie will get from parents! YEAH!!! And immediate after my dinner, i wallop all the ampula, it's about 6 ampula. yum yum, happy happy and happy!

However, after finishing all the ampulas...i told hubb, i seems like eaten too much food and my tummy very FULL!!!! And feeling cannot move and want to sleep!! Another privilage for preggie, eat, sleep, eat and sleep!

So for that night, i went to sleep with happy face, coz i ate ampula already!! However, i still crave for ampula!! If u know where i can get it, do let me know ya!!!

Help help!! Preggie craving for ampula

Help help!!! A desperate preggie screaming for help!!!

For no reason, i suddenly think of eating ampula. Yes, the one that some people will make it into juice and sour plum. But i want is the fruit!!!!

Pop by few fruit stall look for it, all said "tak ada!" And last Sunday i even went to Batu Lanchang market to look for it. I hate going to market, cannot stand the smell and now even though i am just 15 weeks pregnant, but hubby super afraid me going to crowded place, so when we walked into the market, and my dear hubby so "caring" instead of walking into the market from veggie section, he walked in from the fish section. I have to hold my breathe and walk fast, afraid i may throw out, hahahaha!

Walked along the fruit stalls area, didn't see any ampula, and when we were at the last stall, i asked the owner of the stall where can i get ampula. He is so kind and directed me to the store that sells all those "ulam". Happily i walked to those ulam stalls, disappointed, no ampula. So went home with disappointment feel.

Asked mom and aunt, both said ampula is seasonal fruit. We used to have one ampula plant at home, but that plant doesn't performing. So after some time, we decided to give up on it!!

So.....anyone, if you know where to get ampula, pls let me knowwwwwww..........

Tomorrow is public holiday!! YEAH!

I am in holiday mood now, so lazy to work. How i wish today i just need to work half day, then can go home to sleep. I NEED lots of sleep!

Yesterday midnight wake up around 2am, having mild gastric, so lazy to wake up, try to sleep, but cannot. So end up, wake up and take a cup of warm fresh milk, then only manage to continue to sleep.

This morning, so lazy to wake up after my dear alarm clock wake me up! Laze around for a while then only drag myself out from the bed. At work now, feel wanna vomit, probably i am allergy to work!!! YEAH!!! Any cure for this allergy?

Tomorrow is public holiday, and hubb plan to bring our little sweetie pie to Youth Park. However, i wish that our little one can sleep a little bit more, wake up around 8 something instead of 7 something as i NEED more sleep, HAHA! If you happen to drop by Youth Park tomorrow, u will see a sleepy dinosaur keep yawning and one adult busy chasing after a toddler! And do pop by and say Hi to me in chase i am busying yawning and didn't notice your appearance.

Shy Shy baby

Still unable to tell the gender of the baby. Baby is shy??? When Dr Ng perform the ultrasound, baby is busy moving around. Anyway, as long as baby is healthy and growing, i am HAPPY HAPPY and HAPPY!

Be it girl or boy, we will stop at 2 kids. Can't afford to have more than 2 kids, the living expenses is so high yet the salary is so low, how to support the expenses of so many kids, DUH!! And also the whole pregnancy journey is full with fun, excitement, surprise and worry....so with 2 pregnancy experiences, it's enough for me! First baby delivery method is c-section, second baby's delivery method, too early to tell, if can, will try for natural, so that i can feel the Oomph-ness of push push push and SHOOOOUTINGGGG.........**giggling**

Seeing Doc...after severe vomitting

Usually after 1st trimester, preggie will feel better and have less nausea, but i am having sever vomit at 14 weeks, which is a bit worry. That's why i am seeing Dr Ng today to make sure baby is doing good after the severe vomitting.

Dr Ng said since there isn't anymore vomitting, thus, no need to take anti-vomit medicine.
Doc perform ultrasound and baby is moving actively. Doc said high chances is baby girl. Well, whether baby girl or boy, doesn't matter much. What i want is a healthy baby! Agree???!! And we will close down our production line after this baby. Cannot afford to have 3 kids, nowadays the living standard is so high, and the salary is so low, agree with me again? HAHA!
As usual, we will request to listen to baby's heart beat. The heart beat is fast and according to Dr Ng this is good, baby's heart beat supposet o be fast and towards the delivery date, the heart beat will slower a bit....and heart beat will be around 80 to 90 when baby turn to be adult, long way to go huh!

Dr Ng has some concern on my weight as my weight doesn't seems improving since last visit. But...i am eating like there is no tomorrow, so where does all the food go to??? hmm....
Checked with Dr Ng about storing cord blood. According to him, it's something like buying insurance, buying a secure. And as of now, cord blood has been proven can cure blood disorder, the rest of the disease still under experiment. Also, Dr Ng asked me to take plenty of fluids, be it water, juice or anything so that i won't get dehydrated. And he did mention about "COCONUT WATER", yes, do you read it correctly, COCONUT WATER, my favourite drink. I took lots of coconut water when i preggie Kelvin. So....hubb's mission for this week will be getting me a fresh coconut water from Abu Siti Lane. YEAH!

Since now is only 14 weeks and 6 days, so can't do the triple test yet. Will pop by the clinic next Sunday for the test. Left the clinic happily after the short chat with Dr Ng.

Bad day...

Yesterday was a bad day for me. Morning, had my breakfast, and not long after that, feels stomach upset, had diarrhea. After that, I throw out all breakfast. Then later, went to see boss and washed from head to tail from her for close to 1hr. DUH!

Went for lunch, ate a few only, no appetite. After lunch took some guava, and not long after that, gut feel asked me to talk to toilet. And as soon as I went into the toilet, started to throw out in the toilet bowl. Throw out all lunch. Thought everything is over. Went back to my desk continue to do my work. Feel hungry, then took a small bite of biscuit, about half an hr later, need to visit toilet bowl again, throw out again! Not much food left, throw out water!!

Hubb picked me up around 5:15pm, when reached home, smelled the cooking from neighbor, again, and rushed to toilet and throw out Throw out water!! DUH!!

After that, no appetite for dinner, so skipped dinner and took only one slice of dragon fruit and one banana. Before bed, took a small cup of fresh milk. Luckily no more throw out.

A scary experience

Yesterday, when i went to toilet in the afternoon, i saw some brownish discharge. Scare me like mad. Fast fast check with 2 friends and hubb to get some advise.

Sasha and Yan's advise is to monitor and see, meawhile hubb's reaction is fast fast call gynea !
Sasha, thanks for the sms. My cellphone out of battery and i am busy catching up my sleep, that's why i didn't reply your sms. Paiseh ya!

I guess could be i sneeze earlier, and it's an unexpected sneeze, so i didn't control myself, and after that i feel my tummy quite tense. And the brownish discharge appear few hours after the sneeze.

Called up my previous gynea and current gynea, both said brownish discharge is ok, as long as it's not spotting or red color. Since both also sing the same song saying brownish discharge is ok, so i just keep telling myself "no worry, Joanne, it's ok!" And both also ask me to monitor and if there is sharp pain then need to them immediately.

You may wonder how come i have 2 gyneas. ok, let me tell you, my previous gynea left the hospital, hospital A, when i gave birth to Kelvin, he joined other hospital, hospital L, and for the first few visits , i went to the new hospital, but somehow i don't quite like the environment in hospital L, prefer the environment in the hospital A. So after discussion with hubb, we decided to switch back to the hospital A. That's why i have 2 gyneas. And the gynea in hospital L doesn't know that i am going back to hospital A to see his colleague.

I monitored and no more brownish discharge so far. Will keep monitor for 1 or 2 days. keep my fingers crossed
