I consumed Medicine!!!

Oh no... I gave in... I had to take some form of medicine...

My cough was 'torturing' me...after 6 days...still not getting better.

So I took Dextromethorphan Syrup ( Tussidex )...with much much hesitation. Even Hubby got irritated with me.

"Sorry little baby... I know that small minute amount would not affect you. Mummy had no choice. "

I was really controlling myself to not take a single form of medication while expecting. But I guess I have to be realistic and know my limitations.

Glad to say that my morning sickness has reduced. Don't feel so nauseous now. But still don't like eating chinese food...especially chap fun type.

Christmas Shopping

Oh... how i miss shopping! First time I have not gone shopping for such a long time.

Miss places like Ikano and One Utama. Can't wait to see the Christmas decorations. Probably up by now.

Really want to start my christmas shopping soon. But can't find the energy to do so.

Already planning in my head what is on my christmas list...My dad, Ryan, my sisters, their children, Evon and of course my hubby. And also my staff at the place where I work.

Best part of presents is the wrapping and putting it under the tree. Will probably be putting my tree up by the end of next week. I have a 4 feet christmas tree that I bought 5 years ago. Still handy and clean. See budget.. may want to get more ornaments. So bored of my old ones.

Bloated!

I think if you were to throw me into the middle of the ocean, I will end up floating!

I feel bloated all the time now. And that leads to the nauseous feeling that I am getting almost the entire day. I seem to be stuffing myself with food whenever I feel ok due to the fear of getting gastric. After that in which i just feel 'full'!!! 'Round'!!! Like a blimp.

I don't know how i got through the last week. It was horrible! Without medication, my cold took forever to go away. I was blowing my nose the whole day with balls of tissue paper everywhere.

Hhmm..suddenly i smell 'chocolate cake'!!! This pregnancy cravings is really driving me crazy! Yesterday when I was in Seremban, I suddenly felt that I had to eat 'Curly Fries'. I woke up from my afternoon nap and yelled to my hubby..."I want curly fries!!!"... and we drove 10 mins to the nearest A&W to satisfy my craving! I gobbled the whole thing in 10 mins too!!!
When I really don't have the appetite for the food, it just makes me 'sick' just thinking of it. But if I yearn for it...my appetite level will shoot up a notch! A few days ago it was fried sotong craving. I don't remember having such bad food cravings when I was expecting Ryan. I know I just had to eat Indian food during the first trimester coz chinese food made me sick!

Oh yes... so since I can't stand my own cooking, we started catering one week ago. Got the number of a sign hanging by the road. So desperate, huh?

1st day : Hhmmm.. i thought not bad.... gave me appetite and some more the serving was not enough. Things looked good.
2nd day : Still ok... abit too much black sauce... so i didnt have much appetite.
3rd day : Shocker!!! Hubby found a 'foreign' ingredient fried together with the Nam-Yee Chicken.

That threw me 1o feet away from the hygiene factor! I suddenly felt sick. And whenever I smell the caterer food now, I feel nauseaous! Oh no... what to do now? We paid for the whole month already!!!

Can't stand drinkng water too. Very bad la. Hope I don't get dehydated. Only drink Ribena. Even that is making me feel abit weird now.

Everyday I just drag my feet to get through this 'eating headache'!!!

Sick!!!

Oh I wish I could find a rock and hide underneath it!

Coping now with morning sickness, a terrible head cold and cough. All rolled at once!

The hard thing is not being able to take any medication whatsoever. My nose is leaking like a faulty tap and half blocked most of the time. I feel quesy and feel like throwing up now.

It is my 3 rd day now. Have to toughen up and tahan till the storm has moved on.

Totally no appetite.The morning sickness is up and down. Some times in the morning, sometimes in the night time. Has already developed to gastric now. Had craving for hot spicy food a few days ago before I felt sick. Now when I look at chinese food, epecially with oyster sauce and dark soya sauce...my tummy gives a somersault. Feel like eating sushi and soft shell crab now... that is the only food that would give me appetite and relief me from this terrible cold!

Been sleeping in separate rooms from Ryan and hubby for 2 days already.

Please get well soon, Mummy!

I saw a black seed!

Boy is it hard to see a gynae nowadays! They are in such great demand! Next time must ask Ryan to study hard to be a gynae! Anyway, 2nd attempt to see Dr.Lim today. Yesterday i couldn't wait... so i had to cabut to fetch Ryan. Today, I went super early after dropping Ryan at nursery and went to wait there. I was hoping the wait wouldn't take longer than 2 hours.

Thank God I was No.4...although I thought my number was 7! Maybe the lady at the desk helped me coz I was making so much noise that I had to leave by a certain time.

Why do I need to see the gynae?

In my last post, I mentioned a happy joyous news... so I guess it is obvious, right?

I want to use this blog to journal my feelings and events of this wonderful journey that I am about to embark.

Anyway, about the doc... first time seeing him. I was pretty apprehensive in seeing him as getting a gynae that you like and feel comfortable is very essential! It was funny... first thing he did when I went into his office... he shook my hands! Didn't expect that! Anyway, he was very professional and I definitely feel comfortable with him.

Next appointment is in 3 weeks time.

Joy to the World

On 31st October 2008, I had obtained some really really happy news...! Won't say what it is yet... but it makes me beaming and warm.

A lot of planning and preparation to come...
