Week 25 check-up

I just came back from my check-up with Dr Jason Lim.  This time, I got nagged by him because I have put on 3kg within a month's time.  To me, I am very ignorant on how much weight I should put on but to him, he is extremely concern that I might have gestational diabetes because of my family history.  He said that reason he nagged me was because gestational diabetes is dangerous for baby, which I am aware of.

I wasn't eating much.  Even rice I don't eat a lot.  But the culprit, I believe was Fresh Milk.  I drank a lot because that's the only thing that I crave throughout this pregnancy.  I told him I thought I needed the calcium and he told me to just eat calcium supplement instead.

Baby size is 800g and I am not sure if baby is too big or too small or normal.  I forgot to ask.  

I also got a tetanus jab which is a routine jab recommended by Ministry of Health Malaysia.  During the jab, I spoke to the nurse and she said all Dr Jason's patients get very worried at the weighing scale.  OK, now I know why my colleague who was also Dr Jason's patient was so careful with her diet during two of her pregnancy.

From pre-pregnancy till now, I have put on about 6kg.  Again, I am not sure if this is too much or too little.  Some told me they put on 10kg.  Some 15.  But Dr Jason is very concern about my weight gain that he ordered me to take the Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) test in a week's time.  Pray hard that I don't have gestational diabetes.  I am still aiming for natural birth.

So now I have to look after my diet.  I can't eat a lot of fatty stuff.  No more milk for me.  Sigh....

Baby, no more milk for you for now.  

This is what Baby Centre estimated for me:


During this pregnancy, you're expected to gain:

11.3-15.9 kg (1 st 11 lb - 2 st 7 lb)

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
