Ending 2nd trimester!

Hey everyone! Sorry i did not blog about anything over the weekend. It's the only time i get Sham all to myself, and so i thought i'll prolly only blog through out the weekdays since i spend most days at home by myself together with our furball of a son, Gumgum. =) I'm so glad that i'm almost at the end of my 2nd trimester! Just one more lap, 3 months to go! It is also just 3 more days and i officially hit 7 months!! Woohoo! I've been feeling my baby's hiccups almost everyday now. I think i'm actually starting to get quite used to it too. Here's a video of baby hiccups i got off YouTube for your better understanding. (Till i manage to take my own video myself)I don't know if this happens alot during pregnancy, but i tend to get sudden headaches, and just a couple of days ago, i think it was on saturday, i suddenly felt dizzy and i swore i was going to pass out if i hadn't gone to lay down on the bed. Some friends have told me it's pretty normal for preggies. So i'm just going to go along with it. As for movements, my little girl is just getting stronger by the day! I think she's a little naughty girl too. Ever time she gives me a kick, i poke my tummy back, and she gives me a kick right back!! Can you believe that! But she does listen to me when i tell her to stop, especially when she's so active in the middle of the night and i really want to sleep. I try to make Sham talk to her too. They say your baby will know your touch and your partner's touch as well as your voices. =)I haven't started to get any stretch marks on my tummy yet. Like i said in my previous post, i'm relatively small still. But it has just started to become itchy, so i know my skin is stretching out already as she's becoming bigger. I know i shouldn't scratch it either as it's just going to make it worse so i just rub. My mum was saying that i should have started using the cocoa butter cream for stretch marks ages ago, but i haven't. I so need to get it pronto! I sure hope it works wonders too! To end this post, here's a picture of my current family. Without my little girl yet of course!

    Omg babe, put cocoa butter! I thought I didn't need to cause at 36 weeks I didn't have stretchmarks, then it started with a tiny one on the left of my belly. By then, applying creams twice a day couldn't stop it, and now my belly looks like a tiger tried clawing it open, not even joking!

    Also, sudden dizziness is normal, I got it too, don't worry but don't fight it either, no matter where you are, just sit! On the floor, on a chair, on a random hobo, whatever! Although try to not sit on hobos, they don't appreciate it ( Might when it comes to you cause you're pretty though:D )

A baby brewing, again?!

I can't thank the people who have followed my blog from the get-go for all your words of encouragement and love. Thank you for pushing me to write again. It warms my heart to hear when my readers tell me they enjoyed reading my journey and somehow felt like they were right there with me too. Big love to you all.  Here i am sitting down and staring at the screen. I feel rusty. I haven't done this in a while. My last post was, well ages ago! But - hello! Seeing as i set up this baby blog of mine some 6 years ago, i felt it is only right that i continue writing in it seeing as, as most of you would know by now, i am baking baby number 2 in the oven! I'm in the last leg of my pregnancy now. I'd call it the 'uncomfortable' stage.  Where you feel like a whale,  your legs are sore,  your body's aching and the baby is kicking like there's no tomorrow.  But,  kicking is good.  Kick away baby,  so momma knows you're growing well.  So let's ...

New Paper New Face 2011

Hey! Today, i bring you news about this year's New Face competition! :) For those of you who don't live here in Singapore, the New Face competition is one of the biggest modeling competitions held here. It had unearthed beauties from all walks of life and many of whom has made quite a name for themselves in the industry. It has helped so many girls shine and achieve their goals, and i am glad to say, i made it to Top 20 last year and have graduated to the very prestigious alumni of New Face girls. :) Every year since i joined the modeling industry, i entered a competition, to better myself and gain confidence. I remember i started off with Singtel Grid Girls back in 2008 and not having much confidence at all. But the New Face competition was something i had wanted to join since the age of 15. It took me another 2 years, to build up that confidence to go to the walk-in auditions and i am glad i did. (Spot me if you can!) It has been such an amazing experience for me, i learned s...

Labour Pains: The Great Delivery!

HEY! HEY! I was nicely counting down during one of my last few posts that i had 16 days left to my EDD. So rewind back to the week before last week, i was looking forward to Wednesday (6th April) because, one, my bestfriend Kaimana was touching down in sunny Singapore and i finally was gonna be able to spend 3 long weeks with her before she flies back home. (She lives in Alaska) She's also the Godmother of my princess, and in a way, she was also flying back for the delivery as well as her sister's and mum's birthday. I also had my weekly checkup with my OBGYN to check on my baby. So i was fully looking forward to WEDNESDAY!! So the bestfriend and her sister met me at the clinic for my checkup. (It's great to have your bestfriend by your side!!) My doc had to check how dilated i was to determine how soon or how late my delivery would be. DR HENG : Hmm...you're only 1cm dilated. Don't think baby is coming anytime soon. Also your baby's head is very low. I can ...
