my update!!!!!!

I’m expecting!!!!!

Into my 5th month soon. Regular check-up with Dr Adrian B. Woodworth every 2 weeks, his clinic located at CCK interchange.

Estimated due date will be on 23 April 2008 at Thomson Medicine Centre. It’s a baby mouse!!

 

 

Morning sickness, nausea, tiredness is all that I experienced during the first 3 months. It was miserable! I get headache easily..but no pandadol unless it is unbearable.

Good Appetite ~ I am craving for all kinds of food…the most craving that I had was GRAVA...since that I have tons of grava in my fridge at all time.

Dairy product like cheese, soya bean milk, HL milk, yogurt is also always with me in fridge.

 

 

Maternity clothes…wow those clothing are real expensive…! Pant cost easily $79.90…..i had already spent $500 on a few pieces that was from a maternity shop located at tampines mall.

I even got my CNY clothes from mark & spencer during my last shopping trip with Michelle, it was a bright fusion pink top at $69.90…it goes well with a pant then.

Next shopping will be on December after payoff day with Yvonne on baby’s stuff, well she definitely knows well and what to buy…she is a mother of 3 handsome hunks…

 

 

A big thank you to huming!! She brought me a guide book and a white “big” blouse!!! Xie Xie ni, ming ming!!!!

I have been reading on the guide book on what I should be taking more and on nutrition fact during pregnancy.

 

A big thank you to Michelle for accompany me to shop around for maternity and dinner (to my craving) hehe!!!!!!
