Week 11

Week 11 is a little better maybe because i get to come home after work, less throwing up even though the feeling is there. Just when i'm getting used to how to throw up successfully...aka make a mess at the toilet bowl. and interestingly i only throw up at home other toilets aren't nice at all. i was telling S i'm feelin like an animal (ok not really...) but cos of my increased sense of smell...and disgust at many bad ones...which contributes to why i always want to throw up when i come home..cramped mrt and bus have smelly people.

Actually being happy helps. Asking God for strength each day to endure the rest of the day helps too. And i love my mornings because it's the time of the day i feel the least nausea.

Meanwhile just like every expecting mum, i read up as much as i can in books, online about watever there is on pregnancy, subscribe to online newsletters. Was reading a newsletter frm www.babycentre.com of mothers who talk about what they like best and least about being a mum. and i realize..and realizing i'm entering a completely different stage of my life..one that will change my life because of this little life who's joining us. i can't imagine but i will know when he/she comes. i guess it's something you read about other's experiences but never know until you experience it. can't believe i'm gonna experience it so soon.

My 2nd appointment is next monday..can't wait to see baby! some have been asking whether we would like a girl or boy...we won't get to know yet but i would like a girl..and Ww after playing with his nephews said he would like a boy. haha..watever..we would love whether baby's a girl or boy cos baby's God gift. anyw not so soon...prob at least by 3rd or 4th appt will we get to know.

The Evening sickness kicks in

I'm not sure if it's a good thing that it's evening and not morning sickness. Maybe it is. So by the end of the day i'm just tired out...coupled with emptying my dinner by 10pm...and hoping to get a good rest. It has been like this since Sunday so i guess no more full and good dinners from now, at least not till this sickness thing is over. If it had been morning sickness my beginning of the day would have been tired out already...other than the throwing up at night is the nauseated feeling throughout the day which i sometimes don't realize when i'm busy...but it's there.
I think i'm getting used to this...tho it freaks Ww out everytime i vomit.

Hope things will get better soon. energy levels are still low and it's hard to concentrate at work. but i'm looking forward to my next appt on the 14th may. :) hope to see baby soon.

I finally scanned this!

This has taken so long and while i have showed to our familes, my cell & Ww's cell it's time it get to be seen by the world.

It's a ultrasound scan at 7weeks. Honestly i didn't expect to see baby (i really dunno what to call him/her since we dunno the gender yet so i'll just call baby for easy reference) then, thought it was really too early (even to go see a gynae, considering ppl r seeing gynaes the moment they find out)

Anyway that heartshaped blackish thing is actually the waterbag and the little patch at the corner is baby who's only abt 13.8mm then. the 4 white dots is actually the computer ruler thingy lar..not part of the baby. we saw baby's beating heart (very fast), head, little dots which my gynae said its' the hands and legs.


In a way it's a whole different thing to see baby via ultrasound...like i really felt there REALLY is a new life inside me. Honestly baby's arrival is quite unexpected (we were planning to start planning end of this year) plus i just found a new job and only discovered 3 days before my first day of work...and so i have kinda mixed feelings about it. Tho Ww has super excited haa...and started telling the almost the whole world as soon as we 'confirmed' it. Still God's timing is really beautiful, just as we remember the bible verses we chose for our wedding in Ecclesiastes 3, that God has made everything beautiful in His time, so is baby part of that beautiful timing of His and i'm glad.

anyway this is how u find out if you're really pregnant after the signs seem to bug u.

bought 2 for $19.90 which is...hmm.. i think expensive tho. and it's fast way to find out.

more on other things soon i hope..meanwhile at coming to week 10 of pregnancy, my morning sickness seems to be taking a turn for worse. i'm losing my appetite even tho i would love to eat but food seems to want to come out. my succesful 'throwing-out' count is 4 so far...(i hate to throw out really...so i try not to but sometimes after throwing-out i feel better...tho not for long.

thank God for public holidays anyway, rest is a gem.

i'm 9 weeks

This gotta start somewhere and i don't want this blog to mix with my personal one otherwise it gets confusing..and i've been dragging this on forever...because i'm tired after work and because of all the morning sickness feelings (i'll call it night sickness cos it strikes worst at night)
I'll continue another day...when i'm feeling better :)
