The last week of the second trimester

Week 27 today.  So far so good.  Baby is kicking harder now.  Don't even want to think what will happen in the last trimester.

Swollen feet is a normal sight.  Knees are also aching due to the extra weight, I think.  Good that hubby is back and I get my regular massages.

Still wondering if I want to get a baby cot for the baby or not.  I do prefer to co-sleep as it is easier to breastfeed.  DH has decided to sleep on the floor during those times.  

Can't fit into most of my clothes now.  I think I should get another maternity blouse to last until delivery.  And nursing bras too.

What else?  Also wondering if I should get a breast pump now itself or wait until after delivery.  But I know I can't depend on others to get this for me, not even DH.  So, I probably will get one before delivery.

I am getting lots of pre-loved items.  Car seat, baby craddle, diaper changing table, stroller, lots of clothes.  I probably need to get more cloth diapers, the reusable ones also, glass milk bottles, breast pads, etc.

I have also sign up for a breastfeeding session for 2 hours this coming 7 November at Sunway Medical Centre.  It is organised by My Nutri Baby.  Do check out the website.  Lots of info on breastfeeding.

When is the best time to go shopping?  There's a baby fair on 21-22 Nov at Mid-Valley, but I don't like crowds, so probably I would avoid it.  

My room is still not ready for baby.  Need to buy containers to put all the baby's clothes, I think.

Yesterday, I found out that DH and I have different opinions on raising a kid.  I thought I was the stricter one, but apparently, DH is the stricter one.  Sigh.  He treats children like adults and would give long explanation to them.  To me, we have to be gentle and talk to them like how they talk to us, innocently.  But not DH's opinion.  He feels children should be disciplined and he will whacked them (his naughty nephews) if they are very naughty.  

I don't want to brag or what.  But from young, I have this bond with children.  They all love me.  Quite recently, a cousin's baby girl who is very fussy and only wants her mom, suddenly communicate with me.  My cousin was shocked and said I have baby's luck, meaning can communicate with babies.  I guess that's a blessing.

So, with my nephew, I knew what he wants and why he behave a certain way.  I just knew it in my heart.  But not everyone else does.  And definitely not DH.

Before going to bed last night, I told DH, I hope we will have the same treatment on bringing up our kid.  Oh well, it's gonna be a long journey.  I hope he is not too strict on our daughter until it turns her off and to be fair to my nephew as well as he will no longer be the youngest.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as
