Foods for you and baby

I'm just about done making dinner, just waiting for the better half to let me know when he's on the way home so that i can make the last bit, the veggies. So that means, time to blog!! Especially when we're on food!In Singapore, its cheap to eat out on a daily basis. That is if you're opting for hawker food, and not fancy smancy restaurants, where a meal and a drink would come to a total of about $8 minimum. I think thats pretty cheap. Cooking can be very time consuming, though i love cooking, there are days when i wouldn't even bother to fry an egg. But with the neighbourhood in which i reside in, finding a healthy meal is close to impossible. My nearest place to run to for something healthier and not too oily, like a salad bar or sandwich bar would be Parkway Parade, Paya Lebar SingPost or Siglap. My healthiest food choice here would be Vegan Burg, a vegetarian fast food joint, and i dont know how healthy that really is anyways. (But they have delish food! And don't get me started on their drinks, YUMMMM!!)With Sham being quite the health junkie, he pushes me constantly to opt for a healthier choice, especially when im pregnant. You want only the best for your child no? Don't get me wrong, there are days when i just want something oily, like my favourite Black Carrot Cake or Fried Kway Teow but i try not to have it too often, i imagine my little baby choking on the oil. I know, my imagination is mad out of whack. :D So i did some research, on eating healthy. Some people have been telling me its okay to just eat how much i want when ever i want because i'm pregnant. Yes, i agree, i should eat, but if its something healthier, it would be better right? I don't want to put on too much weight while pregnant, (more than the weight your doctor tells you anyways) i want to still be on the healthy side. :) I found out also, that when you shop for groceries hungry, you tend to fill your trolly with more junk food then someone who isn't and the non-hungry person shopping for groceries tends to fill is/her trolly with more fruits, cereals, health bars etc. I totally think it's true! Because i fill my trolly with a bunch of junk food when i shop hungry! I add heaps of chocolates and chippies. I am also not one to drink lots of water, so i fill my fridge with alot of sweet drinks,it's very bad, and that's why sometimes Sham makes me drink water in front of him, so i can't run away. You need someone like him if you are anything like me. So today, i decided, out with the canned drinks, if i want something on the sweeter side, why not opt for something healthier right? and TADAH!!!!Milk is for my cereals, but JUICE! Juice is good! You can't go wrong with juice, and also i read somewhere that drinking Soy milk is very healthy. So there you are! (When my mum was pregnant with me, she drank soy milk daily, she loved it, she reckons thats the reason why i came out so fair too, especially since i'm the only fair one amongst all the siblings)Currently i'm on normal cereals, Honey Stars. Haha. But again, research proves that Cheerios is a much healthier choice. If you don't know what's Cheerios, here you go! It's impossible to get Cheerios from my neighbourhood, i told you its unhealthy here! So looks like i have to swing down to Cold Storage or something soon. Oh shoot! I forgot to buy fruits just now! :( Oh yeah, even if you're not pregnant, this would be good for you too. Being healthy isn't so hard!! :):) If you know anything else that is good, please do share!!

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 ...

Be your own woman.

I've been meaning to pen this down for a while. Something rather nasty happened to me over New Years which should not have happened, but it did. Lets just say that i was told by a man (not my boyfriend, for if he said such a thing we wouldn't be together)  that "Women need to be women - and you are not" . He went on to tell me something along the lines that the Man IS the man of the house . And i don't know if what he meant was that i should bow down and let a man do whatever in the household but that was how it sounded like to me. Now, for people who know me - they know i'm a very strong woman. I have had a pretty tough time growing up. Even harder paving my way through life. And the biggest change came when i had my beautiful daughter. But some how, i have pushed through and i can safely say - i'm in a good position in my life now. It WILL only get better. Prior to having my kid, i did not have much working experience. Yes, i worked in the F&B...

Checkup at the Docs!

So yesterday was my monthly check up with my Doc to see if our baby is doing well, im doing well etc. Was so excited to go down to see Dr Heng (She's attached to Parkway East Hospital) because then i finally get to see my little ninja during the ultrasound scan! Only thing i wasn't looking forward to was taking my blood test. I can take tattoos, i like getting inked. But needles, i can't take needles. Anyways, In December, i had to head down to the hospital to get a scan done. Think its called the 'Fetal Abnormality Scan', where they check if everything is growing at the proper rate, and all that jizz. So i collected the documents as well as the photos, though we couldn't get a 3D scan of her face because she absolutely refused to turn around to show her face on that day, so we don't have a frigging 3D scan. I'm quite bummed about that really. So the people at the hospital told me to make sure i bring it down to my next appointment visit with Dr Heng so ...
