Kate Spade Prestwick Noel Neda

Darling hubby bought me a Kate Spade Prestwick Noel Neda wallet. Thanks, baby! I love it!

Medela Freestyle

My Medela Freestyle has arrived via courier since my order 6 weeks agp. Yippee! I got it at around $480 (include courier $7). It's a good deal though there's no warranty since it's a imported set from states. During Takashimaya or Isetan sale, the pump is still selling from a range to $799 to 999.

Breakdown of my pump:
Exchange Rate : US$1 ~ SG$1.4491134
Cost of pump ($299*1.4491134) : $433.28
Vpost Shipping (10% off) $38.95
Total for 1 pump : $472.23
Courier @$7 : $7.00

The risk? Should my pump breakdown, I can always get another new imported set =P

Week 32

At 32 weeks plus, baby #2's weighing 1.973kg and I've thus gained 10 kg to date. Another 8 more weeks to go!

3rd Trimester

8 more weeks and I'm DUE! Time flies for this pregnancy and having to cope with a demanding toddler is not easy. These days, I get breathless easily and stiff back and lots of braxton hicks. Not to mention the midnight bathroom runs to the toilet 3-4 times a night. I've gained 9 kg so far for the past 8 months. Hope I don't gain too much for the last few weeks. When I had YX, my total weight gain was only 8kg.

iPhone

Ken bought me an iPhone today. I got the iFlexi plan $56 (CS $50.40 exlude caller id) and phone at $248 but need to top up $100 more as my current existing plan is less than 21 months. We bought the extended 1 year warranty too ($89+) in case the battery do not last and a screen protector at $12. I feel guilty for having another luxury item and I said it's a waste. Ken's reply was "我问你。。 爱你是浪费吗？" What a sweetie DH was! Thanks, baby!

Food Art

I saw this on a blog I came upon. This is so gross! I'm really not sure if I should try this out with YX though I think he's gonna get a kick out of it!!!

I'm Yours

Don't you just love him?

YX, my boy at 32 months old

Yu Xiang's getting more headstrong and wilful now at 32 months. When I say not to touch something, he's go ahead and touch more. He's chatty and conversed very well in mandarin. He loves books and always ask for more reading. Wish I had flash the Glenn Doman cards to him when he was younger. He could have master the words himself and can read on his own. Tends to rush things in a project. He wants to be independent and has a mind of his own. What we need to focus now is to build his character, inhibiting him with self control and self discipline.

Depression

Does one knows when one's suffering from depression? I feel sad these days. Always on the verge of tears. Whether it's hungry, driving, in the mid of a meeting, tears can just swell. Yes. I'm sad. Over a incident I simply can't over with. Every moment that I think of it, I'll wanna cry.

These days, there's a lot of ligament pain and today, I'm starting to have a pain under my right side of the abdomen and this lasted for about half an hour. I was suddenly worried if all these distress is affecting baby or not. When I reach home, I experience some groin pain. I recall when I had #1, this only happens near the end of third trimester. Maybe it's due to carrying the big boy alot. He's around 12 kg. Sigh.. there's still a long way to go. I'm so tired...

Worried

Ken complained of muscle pain and loss of appetite last night. Realised he's having slight temperature at 37.5 and I immediately gave him two asprin for fever and pain, as well as lacteol fort (good bacteria) in case it's food posioning. He slept earlier. This morning, he woke up and leaned against the wardrobe. All of a sudden, he fell and knocked his head on a chest of drawers. He's like having a fit when his body (shoulder and arms) tweaked twice. I jumped out of bed and helped him sit up. He din recall he fell... all he knew was he felt giddy. He's fine the whole day except for the morning episode. I'm very worried... Will have to monitor closely. Maybe I should ask him to go for a body checkup.

Baby #2 detail scan

Went for the detail scan at Thomson with Ken and YX. I'm 21 weeks + 3 days today. Baby's weighing 406g. Guess what! Estimated Delivery Date by unltrasound reveals baby's gonna be delivered on YX's 3rd birthday! What a coincidence! But I truly doubt I'd deliver so promptly at 40 weeks. kekeke. Baby's strong and healthy and the gender's confirmed! Will reveal in my next post on what I've bought for the baby when my gynae hinted it's 90% confirmed.

Advance anniversay cum x'mas 09 Gift Exchange

It's not often that we give each other gifts. I mean DH giving me presents... DH has never taken the initiative to buy me presents not even during courtship. I've received less than 3 bouquet of flowers from him. He did buy me a pair of earrings last year for my birthday. On few occasions, we gave each other red packets instead. I decided to get him this wallet as I felt that he really deserved it. DH was so shocked when he came to know the price. Ha ha! 心痛啊! And wanna just keep and not use it.

Ken's first super branded guccissima leather wallet. Sigh.. realise Taka 10% sale 1 week later. Arhh!!!

In return, DH bought me a Longchamp Planetes. Eh... I mean I chose my present and claim from him =P This is similar to the Le Pliage collection but in a thicker coated nylon. My red Le Pliage medium long handle is sent for repair as there are 'bubbles' forming on the nylon. I like that bag very much and it's my most utilised bag. Hope I can get a 1-1 exhange. It'd be a bonus! That's the good thing about Longchamp. Never realise can send for repair FOC too! :)

Afternote: Got a call 1 week later that I can go to the Paragon outlet and chose a new piece. If higher, can just top up. Yeah! I top up $59 to get this fall/winter collection LM Nylon Large Folding Tote in orginal Longchamp motif at $274.

Hello Kitty Loots

I can never resist the temptations whenever I stepped into Kai Kai. Look at the loots I've got today. 2 bread sealers, 1 big lunch box perfect for picnics and 1 thomas box with snacks for YX.

Fright

I had a fright today. YX's being naughty today as he refused to let me hold his hand, dashed across the zebra crossing down the slope towards the exit gantry. I shouted at him to come back but he ignored my calls. I shouted again saying I was leaving, only then did he stopped. He came back to me and I held his hands to continue the walk down the slope. Once we reached the gantry of the office, he let go of my hand and dashed across the traffic light where a van is about to turn in! Thank goodness, it stopped and there I was looking ridiculous carrying a handbag and his school bag, and holding my stomach chasing after him! I managed to catch him before he attempted to dash across the other junction. I was so mad and hit him.. reprimanding him in front of the few army boys waiting at the traffic. My goodness... hope he won't try this act again... Guess I'm really gonna get a arm wrist leash for him.

Preggy with #2

Yes. We are blessed with a 2nd baby and we are truly very happy about it. The 1st trimester was really a tough period but I've tide it over. Morning sickness, constant hunger pangs (7 meals a day!), tiredness and nearly falling asleep in front of the steering wheel numerous times. Trying to keep my cool with #1 yelling and throwing tantrums behind me while I'm so dog tired.... Sleeping as early as 8.30pm and waking up at 7am. Having a Subchorionic Hemorrhage during my 8th week and confined to hospital bed rest for 3 days followed by another 2 weeks of medical leave with bed rest at home. We survived through and baby is strong and kicking hard at me now. I must really thank Ken for his help in tidying the house, taking care of #1, washing his school uniform, preparing #1's night and morning feed as welll as packing his school bag. Thanks for being such a wonderful, husband... baby! Another person I'm grateful to is my mum for taking care of #1 for those nights while I'm confined to bed rest. Thanks lots, mum!

Counting down... 20 weeks now and 20 weeks more to go!

Magnum

$3.90 per stick. Verdict: So so lei...

My handy helper - Roomba

Bought the well received iRobot Roomba and no regrets! I love it! It's my handy helper now. Look at the dust it accumulates for just the bedroom itself! Scary! I must say I am guilty for not cleaning under the bed. Now, our floors are spick and span. My next wish list... the Scooba!
