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 ...

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...

Low Self Esteem Post-Pregnancy?!

I've had writers block for months to be honest. I felt things were just getting pretty monotonous with this blog and just lost my motivation to write for a while. Then i thought, this is not only a baby blog! It's for you, the mummies, who take the time to read about my journey. I wanted to be able to write about things that bothered me as a mom. Things that not many would write about. Things that truly were embarassing or even ashamed to talk about. So you could share this part of my journey too and know that if you feel like how i do, you are not alone! :) Well, as the title suggest, i had a bout of self esteem problems right after Kiara came along. This was totally new to me! I was always very confident about myself. I loved how i looked, talked, walked etc. I loved my flaws too. I guess that was also because i somehow managed to maintain the slim figure etc. I was even very confident about myself when i was pregnant. I felt beautiful. (Note: Not all pregnant women seems to ...
