32 weeks aka 8 mths

Today Alf is in town so he went to see our precious gal together with me.

Most of the time he can only see her through photos so when he actually look at the computer, he cannot see where is the eyes, nose or mouth even when Dr Lee is pointing to him.

*Blur Daddy*

Baby R is 1848g already so she gained 300+g in 2 weeks time. So is Mummy! Gained too much weight this 2 weeks. Although Dr Lee never purposely tell me anything about my weight gain but i know myself is abit too much. So better keep my sugar intake! And remember to take more food that is rich in iron!!

But 1 thing that Dr Lee did mention is that the baby head is abit too big. Not that the head is bigger compare to other babies but might be too big for me! He say she must have follow her daddy's head! (-_-!!)

But we cannot do anything to stop baby's growth so let her grow on her own bah. Shall see how in the end!

@ 32 weeks (Tummy is getting bigger and rounder!!)

Not a good News!

Mummy R failed her blood test again! Iron is still low so Dr Lee gave another iron syrup and vitamin C supplement to add to my daily intake. But how much more am i taking right now leh? Normal preggy woman will juz take 1 iron pill per day. And for me, i taking 2 iron pills per day, 2 intake of iron syrum per day n 2 intake of vitamin C. Oh well, lets just hope that all these medicines will help me bah!

You must be wondering whats with the low iron. Let me explain to u all!

Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia. And if anemia is developed, the patient will feel dizzy (Not me!), tired (Yes, sleepy nowadays) and weak (Nope, i dun think so).

What worries me more is how anemia will affect baby's health and mine!

"Your baby does a good job taking care of his iron needs — he'll get his share before you do. If you remain anemic during the first two trimesters, though, you're at a higher risk for having a preterm delivery or a low-birthweight baby, so it is something to take seriously. And if you're severely deficient, it could affect your baby's iron stores at birth, increasing his risk for anemia later in infancy.Iron-deficiency anemia affects your health as well. It can sap your energy and make it harder for your body to fight infection. And if you're anemic later in pregnancy, you're more likely to have problems if you lose a lot of blood when you give birth. You may feel dizzy, have a rapid heart rate, or have other symptoms that require you to stay in the hospital an extra day or two. You're also more likely to need a blood transfusion."

I better be good and eat lots of food that are rich in iron!

Dinner at Nagae

A dinner out at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel with dear when he stop over a day before he fly off to China. Was suppose to eat at another japanese restaurant that sells original japanese pancakes. But as we go too last minute, there are no seats.

This resturant is quite a small with only 3 waitress working on a friday night. So responding time is pretty long. And the food, I can only say, so-so.

Japanese Pancakes will be a better choice. Haiz.

We ordered a cold soba with vegetables tempura(For me), a cold soba with grilled Chicken (Dear's), a miserable small soft shell crab and some sushi.

Although the food is so so but still I enjoyed the time spend with dear.

The Big 30!!

Yeah, Baby R is at 30 week now! Which means left less than 10weeks time!

Baby R is 1.506kg at this moment! Is abit fat!! From the average fetal weight, this should be about 31 week baby! Opps, I better control my carbo and sugar intake as gynae did say the maximum weight of the baby I can take should be about 2.8kg - 3.2kg. Anything bigger than that I might not be able to give birth naturally!

I'm also quite happy with my weight increase this round. I put on about 1.2kg so about half goes to the baby. Good!

Some other good news is the baby is still head down. So hopefully it will stays this way! And the palcenta is moving up! Great!

Will see my 小胖B in 2 weeks time!

Stroller

During the 2 weeks when Alf is in Singapore, we went to see stroller whenever we can.
Taka, Isetan Scotts, Isetan Parkway, Ubi, Kiddy Palace .... All places we can think of, we went to see. In the market, there are so many different strollers. But to find 1 that can fit all our conditions, there isn't ANY!!!

So no choice, we got to find the best out of the worst! Initially, we shortlist 2 stroller, Peg Perego Si and Combi Miracle Turn.

Personally I love Peg Perego Si the most! As I felt it look so much nicer than Combi!

Peg Perego Si

But the cons are, this stroller do not have a front bar and the baby cannot face us when we are pushing the stroller. Alf thinks is better to let the baby face us in the initial stage.

So no choice we have to give this up!

Then no choice, we left with Combi Miracle Turn. But then again, the color is stopping me to buy the stroller! Why, let me explain to you all.

Combi Miracle Turn got 3 version.

1st version, TJT-350

This version has 2 colours, Blue and Orange.

I don't like the colour! It just look like very "Chee Na".

Weight ( lightest of all 3 version) - 5.8kg

Price - $489

2nd Version - JTJ-450

2nd version got Purple and orange

Purple still acceptable as it look ABIT nicer compare with the other colours

Weight - 6.1kg (slightly heavier but I don't see this as much problem)

Wheels are said to be slightly bigger than the 1st version and more stable
BUT!!
Price - $629

3rd version

I cant find the pics online as is quite new. But is so much heavier than version 2 so we shall just forget about that!

So as you see, should I pay $140 more to get a slightly nicer colour?

Paying $600+ for a stroller seems too much?

Arragh, just don't understand why the company cannot just create a stroller that I like?

I just want the stroller to be:-

• Not too heavy (6kg+/- is fine)
• Must be small when we fold (Scare the car boot cannot put other things after putting the stroller)
• Easy to fold (Can be fold by me standing up and no need to bend down)
• All wheels can turn
• Baby can face us
• Got Front bar (Actually this can be optional)
• Color must be nice!!

My conditions not difficult right? Why I just cannot find 1?

New Toy!!

We got a new toy! But this toy is not for Baby R but is for the Mummy!! =p

Yes, Alfred bought a new camera for me! This camera is for me to takes lots of photos when baby R is born! It even has a smile function so that we can take photos of her smiling!

Love the camera alot! Thanks Dear!

***中秋节***
