Baby Story 2

The 7th week:
Jan 29th: Didn’t really know where to go for check-up. Kind of asked around and figured Dr. Ding in Puteri Hospital was good. So I took my second half day off and went to Puteri Hospital. Too bad, when I got there, Dr. Ding has gone for an emergency operation.

So I went to see Dr. Leila. She was quite nice and friendly. She kind of brief me those doubts that a common 1st timer mother will have, including how often we want to go for the check-up, where to deliver, what to eat more, etcs. She then did the ultrasound scan for me and I saw just a “dot”. She told me that that’s my fetus, and it was about 3mm. She then gave me some folic acid and calcium tablets, instructed me to take one each on daily basis.

I then went home excitedly with the ultrasound photo to show Looi.

That night was Jacky’s wedding, Looi and I attended the wedding. We saw those old friends and we were sitting together with Hong Fei, Wen Hua, Ming Jia, and Wei Liang they all. I guessed it was a common syndrome that I will get tired very easily. After a few dishes, at around 9:30pm, I was so tired and we had to go home. So we were planning to leave while In Shin was pretty drunk, I guessed. He had Looi drank a glass of wine and I told him that I was pregnant. He was shouting this news to everyone and I was shocked. It was quite funny though. I was kind of worried to say out this news to people as I was told that many it is “pantang” to tell people during the early stage of pregnancy. So, I kind of consoled myself while asking my baby not to be angry with me… =) This might not be too rational but under those situation and outside pressure, I chose to do it, who knows if the “pantang” thing is really “pantang”?

Baby Story 1

It was very funny… I was just mumbling around, complaining that everyone was asking me when we will want a baby. However, I guess, I was pregnant just after I posted the Dec 11 blog. Maybe our baby just heard my words and decided to stop people from asking again, and so he/she decided to come into our lives then… That’s a gift, a priceless gift…

The 5th week:
Jan 15th: I fainted in the morning meeting again, in front of 30 people. I was feeling kind of weird because my whole body was aching and got tired easily, after my cousin’s wedding on Dec 30th, 2006. I went home and decided to go see doctor. I told doctor that I was late for that month’s menses. We then discovered that I was 5 weeks pregnant. Oh, what a news. I was a little worried while I felt the happiness as I was not sure if my health condition was ready to have this kid. I then went home and had some rest, and I sms Looi about this news. Then I went to by this Anmum milk powder and started to drink it twice a day, as instructed by the doctor.
