That Can't Fit Me Anymore!

Pregnancy seems to be the only way which one could get 'fat' and other people would be happy for you. I am not very happy myself :P Why? I cannot get into my nice clothes anymore! Yes there are plenty of nice preggy clothes around but they are either too expensive or too big for me. Till date, majority of my colleagues would still be unaware of my 'current' situation if someone in the meeting today didn't let the cat out of the bag. ( I don't know who this someone is)

Yes, i did put on weight on my face and my tummy gets bigger now. (I am around 58kg now. Put on about 6kg already!) I am just tired of changing in and out of clothes in the morning and having to be late for work because i cannot find something suitable or big enough. Its really time to take all those oversized & preggy clothes out. I didn't buy many while i had Tim. Only two tops and three bottoms. Of which i only wore less than 3 times for all of them. I really think its a waste of money as i hardly grow in size. Ha... some people didn't even know i was pregnant and were questioning if Tim was adopted etc... :>

I went thru the bag of clothes that Yee Ju and i loaned to my cousin in law... out of the ten over pieces, i only picked out 4. Others are just too big... or they are just too girly.... very unPhoebe :P We shall see how things goes. I am not sure if i can pluck up the courage to wear these clothes... especially i look exceptionally funny with it as i could stuff like about 6 chickens in to give it a nice full look. Some moms from the M4M forum suggested using an elastic tube top as a belly belt... i guess i should invest in some than to lament every morning...

Complete

Troy is a happy man. He was smiling from cheek to cheek since this morning. All three of us went for my detailed scan this morning. I am glad i was able to persuade Troy to go with me. He is not a morning person. He was so excited this morning, he got up earlier than me and had to 'chase' me to get ready.

During the scan, the radiographer took all the pics while having a chat with me. The two boy were outside the room, waiting for her to be done so we could all go thru' the pics and scan together. As usual, she asked if i want to know the sex of the baby. I ask that she go thru' it together with the boys. Baby was so shy and didn't want to open up for the scan and hardly move during the whole process.

Once the boys got into the room ( some 20 mins later ) we went thru' the various parts of baby's body and i am glad that everything is going well, especially when the Radiographer announced that we are having a baby girl! Troy is elated.

On one hand, i do hope to have a boy so that he can be Tim's companion, doing boy's stuff, on the other, i am just happy that Troy finally got what he wish for. Its all good! :)

Di Di or Mei Mei?

This is the question that i have been asking Tim for a bit. I don't think he understand what he replied though but he has been saying 'Di Di' everytime. As for Troy, he is hoping for a girl... more so because we are stopping at two. For me, i am happy with either :) One of each would be nice :)

Its so strange that my peers are asking me about the sex of the baby, speculating etc while i am the least anxious to know. Haha... perhaps its just fear of the unknown and more so because i have not settled on an OB till now. Yes, we have fixed an appointment to do a detail scan at TMC in about 8 hours. And what do you know? I talked Troy into getting up early and going in together with me... with Tim in tow of course...

Everything is in God's hands and i am sure things will turn out well :)

Hungry!

Yes i am up... for slightly more than 2 hours already. I didn't want to get out of bed just to go to the bathroom as i would most likely stay up for a couple more hours... but i have to! Busting to go! Troy was still up and i tried to go back to bed.

If its not a full bladder that is keeping me up, its hunger. I ate two granola bars already and am cooking some instant noodles. I know thats not the best choice for an expectant mother but i am really hungry... and tired... just want to go to bed soon! Ugh!!! Medical checkup at 9am! :(

Speaking of medical checkup, i finally called TLC and fixed an appointment. The nice staff should be calling me back later in the morning to confirm my appointment as well as the date for 20weeks detail scan. God willing, everything will turn out fine :)

Neglect?

Eep... has the middle child syndrome started already? I hope not... Other than eating well and going for my regular checkups... theres really nothing else that i am doing for this pregnancy... *sigh* I still have not settle for a OB yet! This, i have to do quick... Sometimes i do wonder if having a VBAC is that important... how about the well-being of the child? Say if i am insistent on having a VBAC... would that pose a threat to my baby if the situation doesn't see fit? There are so many things that i need to do and also consider... and most importantly... hand all these in to the higher order. Cast it to the Lord! Amen!
