Baby @ 5 months

Monday, February 16, 2009

I can't believe I am already in the middle of my 2nd trimester. It is true. Time really speeds up during this trimester. In the 1st trimester, I was practically counting the days and weeks and wished that I would get through the quesy period fast.

Had an appointment with the gynae Dr. Lim last week. It was a scheduled detailed scan. Hubby and I was pretty excited and nervous. After doing the blood test during the last visit, doc said that I had low risk of Down's syndrome for the baby and the blood test that I did was negative for certain criterias that he was checking. Hurray! The scan took about 10 minutes. Ryan was in the room too. He was getting restless while Papa was trying to hold him back. Everything looked fine and Dr. Lim said the baby is developing well. A huge burden was lifted off my shoulders.

Weigt now= 50kg

Another worry that set us back last week was about the confinement lady. We procrastinated in asking my last confinement lady that took care of Ryan last time...so when I saw her last weekend, it was too late. She said she was already booked! I was very disappointed and suddenly worried whether we could get a reliable pui-yit so last minute. We called so many contacts but all were either booked or no longer working anymore. Thank goodness after a few days of searching, we found one from Seremban who used to take care of my brother-in-law's children.

I can feel the baby kick now. Or maybe more like moving as baby is getting bigger. I should have taken measurements of my tummy over the months. I look more pregnant now. I was getting remarks last time like " Ah.. can't see that you are pregnant!" or " Your stomach is so small!"
After the 3 months, I felt very very energetic and was in the mood of cleaning the house and keeping it spic and span. Now, that hardworking streak is slowly dying down now. This week, I feel slightly more lazy. But still energetic. The house is getting messy again. More lecture from hubby.

Ryan likes to say "Hello,baby!" to my stomach. It is so cute. He will be waving to my stomach while saying that.

hi, happy to hear your bb's growing fine! eat well and rest well yourself. jst to share with u that my prev confinement lady was from seremban, her name is Ah Tai (there are many with the same name), she's Hakka, stays in Taman SEA and number is 012-6210466 and her marketing agent is another confinement lady called Mui Jie who's number is 016-2759119

DO NOT USE THEM. My CL did a horrible job for me, and hardly took care of my bb, neither did she cook as my maid served her. In terms of payment, she was dishonest. She treated me during the confinement month "badly" because she knew I had no other choice but to rely on her.

Thanks for your advice, Irene. I did get one from Seremban... her name is Ying Che and took care of my brother in law's children and my sister in law's children too. So she is well recommended by them.

Wah, your CL had a marketing agent??!!!
