Week 27 – Bleeding after peeing

by Kit on September 6, 2009

I woke up to pee early in the morning at 6.00 am and was shocked to see some blood (which looks like menstrual blood) in the toilet and also on the tissue. As the bleeding stopped, I went back to bed.
This morning, I told my Mum about it and she said it could be:
a) our [...]

Week 20 – How to entertain a toddler at home

When his kindergarten went on summer break, I had to face the ‘challenge’ spending more than 2 weeks HOME ALONE with the tot since we decided to fly home later.
Since I had the luxury of having her toddler spend a full day at the kindy, I was quite nervous about being a stay-at-home Mother again [...]

Week 19 – A boy? A girl? It doesn’t matter

I was all psyched up for my doctor’s appointment this week because I’m hoping to find out if it’s a boy or a girl…
With passport in hand and a note that I’ll need the letter for flying soon, we went back to the VIP Maternity Hospital.
They couldn’t find my personal folder (containing my medical [...]

Week 16 – Pimples, pain and predictions…

Hubby and I had a quiet Father’s Day weekend at home, no special lunch or dinner due to a thunderstorm…at home and outside
When we talked about the second baby, I couldn’t help but compare the differences between the first pregnancy and this second one:

- I only feel slight [...]

REVIEW: Yoga for Pregnancy

I came across this book when I was in my 4th month of pregnancy.
This book was next to Yoga for New Mothers: Getting Your Body and Mind Back in Shape the Natural Way After Birth but I was attracted by its tagline as I’m a strong advocate of gentle yoga:
“the safe and gentle way to [...]

Week 27 – Hiccups at home

We had a nice start to the long break ahead by having some visitors in our almost-there organized apartment on Saturday morning.
They are a couple with 3 lovely daughters, around 9, 7 and 2 (if I’m not wrong) and we got a glimpse into the future of how our home would be with a [...]

Week 26 – Work, work, work

In preparing for the upcoming lonnnng break of Deepavali and Hari Raya, Hubby and I spent most of week 26 glued to our computers and collapsing on the beds after that. Nothing much to report here…
The only high points would be our checking out both the Ramadan markets at Bayan Baru and Gelugor for our [...]

Week 25 – My water baby and me

This week, our mission was to search for a great, big swimsuit that I would be comfortable and “alright” in (translation: not looking like an elephant/rhino/circus bear).
Since maternity wear nowadays are pretty decent, we thought buying a swimsuit would be quite easy…ha, ha, ha, what a big laugh.
The usual route of maternitywear shops [...]

Week 20 – The ultrasound scan…

It’s been a whole month since we have seen our baby and both of us were very excited about this appointment. Also, I’d run some urine and blood tests the last round and wanted to know if all is fine.
When we saw there were 10 patients ahead of me, we decided to go take a [...]

Papa and Mummy classes

This week, we attended the first sessions of our antenatal classes and learned lots. For someone who had helped out with my mum when my little sis was a baby, I was amazed at how much more there is to know about caring for babies. These little creatures are really treasures to be handled with [...]
