Update on my first 3rd trimester scan

Yesterday was my first 3rd trimester scan.  The wait was 4 hours just to see the Obgyn for 5 minutes.  Sigh...and this has to continue until I give birth.  

Good news is my glucose test is clean.  Yay!  I don't have diabetes and I am just so delighted!  Even the Obgyn.  But he did tell me that doesn't mean I can go on a food binge.  Not that I would though, but at least I won't deny myself all the drinks I have been craving.  

Baby is growing well.  1.2kg now.  Short thighs though...maybe my genes.  Enough amniotic fluid.  So doctor said all is well.  Phew!

From now onwards, it's bi-weekly checkup.  I don't really enjoy the 4 hours wait, but what to do.  He is a very busy doctor.  

As for me, I am getting bigger by the day and now I can't sit on the floor anymore.  It has to be on a chair and better if there's a stool to support my feet or if I can sit cross-legged on the sofa.  Much, much comfortable.

I am so thankful for the maternity pillow that I bought.  It's truly a life saver.  I have been sleeping like a baby, though waking up few times to pee at night.  But still, it's just so comfortable.  To all mothers-to-be, please invest in one.  You won't regret it.  Touch wood, I don't have backache.  Hopefully this will be it until I deliver.

So far the only annoying symptoms that I have is lots of phlegm in my throat and blocked nose and that annoying pulsation in my right ear, which the Obgyn said it's normal due to the extra pressure and pumping that my heart is doing for the sake of baby.  It's getting louder as the pregnancy progresses and sometimes I feel like I can't hear with my right ear because all I hear is thump, thump, thump.

Other than that, so far so good.  Hope everything is well.  I still don't have any craving for any particular food.  But drink wise, any flavoured cold drinks, any time.

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
