Week 35 ~~ 5 more weeks to go...

Starting this week, I feel so tired.  8 hours of sleep is definitely not enough.  Not even napping in the afternoon.

Besides, my tummy is getting harder and bigger.  Turning to my side while lying down on my bed is a challenge.  Sometimes I feel baby is pressing on my bladder.  Sometimes it's on my stomach.  Sometimes on other organs.  On certain days, walking is difficult especially if she is pressing on my cervical bone.  

I just feel I am bigger this week.  Like I never felt that big in my life and I have reached the biggest.  Just my feeling.  And to think I have 5 more weeks to go, gosh, I don't know how big I can get.

Just when I thought that it's ready and done when I have bought all baby's stuff, I realised there's 101 things running in my mind right now.  And it has nothing to do with work or urgent stuff or deadlines.

Things like, delayed cord clamping.  I heard that's ideal but then again, I will leave it to the professionals to decide.  

And let baby have skin-to-skin contact the moment she is out.  Again, I am going to let nature take its course.  Yeah, sound like very not assertive right.  But there's just too much on my plate to plan all these.  

And when I am actually due?  What are the signs?  Will my water break?  Should I get a towel ready in my car?  Can I still drive if I have contractions?  

I still don't know if I have Braxton-Higgs contractions.  Because I know what contractions are and felt it before.  But I haven't felt any since that time.  

Some people said to drink Red Raspberry Leaf Tea.  Said to help strengthen uterine muscles, help to ease labour and such.  Heard that it help to boost milk production later on.  So might be useful to buy now.

I am just glad that baby has passed the 2kg mark.  That means if she comes out now, she doesn't need to be in NICU unless there are other complications.

My mood is also very lousy.  Mainly because I feel so uncomfortable all the time.  Like acidity, can't sleep properly at night, still have to work, etc.

And let's not forget that we still haven't finalise on the name.  Yes, THE NAME!!!  Sigh.

How do people keep their cool, especially when expecting the first child?  Everything is so NEW!!!!

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
