Fayth, unborn and I

There is one word that I hate to use during pregnancy - insomnia and I can't accept the fact that I'm currently suffering from it.

It's not that I can't fall asleep, I can and I will always be in bed by 10pm and as usual I will sure wake up in the night for those pee trips. Noticed recently after all those trips, I had difficulties going back into Lalaland to flirt with Mr Zzz. I will be tossing and turning left and right for a good 1 hour or sometimes 2 hours!

Reason of me suffering from insomnia? My little unborn inside me! I really start to wonder do she really sleep inside me??? Whenever I'm awake for the Pee Trip, she is sure to be either practising her kungfu or somersaulting.

I accommodated her by sleeping on my sides so she will have enough space in the womb for those kicks and pokes but seems like no matter which side I turned to, she's still did not satisfy! She will then start tickling and rubbing towards my skin as if I'm pressing onto her which made me feel itchy and uncomfortable. In the end, I surrendered and let her have her ways while my eyes open big like a gold fish.

Last night, Fayth and I fall asleep at 10pm after chatting with each other for a good 30mins (she's a chatterbox!). Fayth is having cough and runny nose recently (which got worst yesterday morning), and it's a mother instint to feel her forehead to see if she's down with a fever or not and at 2am, she's having a fever at 37.7 degree so I woke her up to take medicines and as usual went for my Pee Trip.

Pampered her back to sleep at around 2.30am, with my eyes closing and slowly drifting into my Lalaland, the kungfu and somersaulting start! In the end, I've been turning around till 4am. I checked on Fayth's temperature again and finally able to fall asleep back.

Hopefully when baby is born, she will be fast to develop a proper sleeping routine!

Something useful that 2nd time mum shld know!

**It's a long winded post as It's only suitable and useful knowledge's for 2nd time mummies.**

We may be bursting to share the good news, but a youngster who's about to be "replaced" by a baby, as he sees it, may be less than thrilled.

# DO tell your child about the pregnancy, and definitely break the news before he hears about it from someone else.

# DO both tell him you love him.

# DO make him feel special.

# DO help him become more independent in feeding, toileting and other daily needs.

# DO organize things for the labour and birth. a trustworthy person he knows will need to look after him, and he'll have to know what the arrangement is well in advance of that time.

x DON'T tell him too soon - nine months is an eternity to a young child. the younger your child, the less likely he is to notice your bump, so the longer you can wait.

x DON'T tell him you're having another baby to please him, for him to play with or because he's such a good boy. it's not true, and he'll only blame himself if things go wrong.

x DON'T tell him he needs to be big and help you with the new baby. being big may be the last thing on his mind - when the baby is born, he will probably prefer to be small again.

x DON'T plan to toilet train him, start him at playgroup, swap bedrooms or move him from his cot just before the baby arrives. he will have enough changes to cope with after the birth

.x DON'T burden him with the side-effects of pregnancy or how tired you are. he'll be upset for you, may feel guilty and could be more likely to resent the new baby.

AFTER THE BIRTH -

If you're going to be in hospital for several days try to arrange for your child to visit you and the baby as soon as possible after the delivery.

When your toddler visits, have eyes only for him. Ideally, the baby should be asleep in the bedside cot. Make a fuss of your toddler until he asks about the new baby. Only then show him his sister, but not paying too much attention to her. Make his visit short so that you can attend to your baby once he's gone.

Bringing the baby home Try to help your toddler to feel secure and bond with the new baby.

- When you greet him, make sure someone else holds the baby so that you are free to cuddle him.

- For the first few minutes give him all your attention.

- Give your child a present from the new baby, something that he has really been looking forward to.

- In the first few weeks set aside some times when the two of you can be together without any interruptions.

Involve your child in the new baby's bath times, changing, and feeding times. Get him to fetch and carry and intimate your loving sounds with lots of ahhs and ooohs and words like "softly", "gently". Describe everything that your new baby is doing so that he can get to know her and relate to her.

- A newborn baby has a well-developed grasp reflex. Put one of your child's fingers into her hand - she''ll grasp on to it very tightly and he'll interpret this as love from his newborn sister.

The Major Scan and me...

Had my major detailed scanning yesterday. Feeling excited and nervous during the scan. Excited because finally baby was in perfect position to check on the gender while nervous was because it's a major detailed scan that will tells you everything about the baby, from the brain to the heart to the spine, to the little fingers/toes and even to the eyes and lips. Luckily everything was normal and my baby's lip looks so much like Fayth's lip! Hopefully baby got Fayth's big eyes too.

After my scanning, I went to see my gynae and the first thing I told her was my biggest problem of all.... my constipation (yeah, I remember this time!). When I told her about my bowel 'routine', she gave me a "Wow, you are serious" look and prescribed 3 types of medications for me. 1 box of High Fiber Orange to drink every morning, 2 bottles of liquid Laxative for 3 times daily and (the last shraw) 4 bullets to insert to stimulate gut movement IF the first 2 doesn't work on me! Ya, I am this serious, beyond your imagination...

Also mentioned to her about my backache as I ever went to the TCM but currently there's nothing they could do except to give me oilment to rub on my back. Doc Tan also said that now I can only apply oil or take panadol if the pain get worst.... Never mind, the most I go out shopping less lor. Be good girl, endure till after delivery.

During yesterday routine test, my result showed there's sugar in my urine. It's not high now but I got to start cutting down on my sugar intake and if next month my test result shows that there's sugar again, I'll be ask to go for diabetic blood test... (Am a good girl now)

And yes! I will be having another Princess! As what Fayth had always expected, she will have a meimei to play with!

Now I can start searching for names and shop for all the pinky girly stuffs... A pink romper for baby to wear during discharge from hospital, a pink receiving blanket, a pink mitten and bootie, a pink or a red pram. I make sure everything will be chosen and decide by me, no more whites this time (ZPGY will understands what I mean....)!

I've started to racky and do comparison on breast pump, milk bottle sterilizer and pram. Currently still deciding which brand and what model to buy (all cost a bomb!). Once if there's any promotion and good buy, I won't let the chance slip off from my hand else I'll suffer from burning wallet!!

Time flies, I'm at the halfway mark - 20 weeks of pregnancy. Just another 20 weeks more to go!!!

Baby, be good girl, stay inside mummy's womb for another 5 months and let's have a smooth delivery together ok!

My Zodic (How true!!)

SCORPIO WOMAN

A simple woman who always show what kind of a moods she is in. You can tell right way if she up set, or if she is flirting with you. She displays herself with her act much more than trying to say it for it's in her character.

A Scorpio woman has her own mysterious personality. She is confident and deep down inside she is quite proud of herself. She hates to think she is borne a woman and so limiting her with a certain social acceptable rules. She is a real woman and despite her innocent and childish looks, she has a spirit of free soul. Many men will make mistake if they think she is a good follower, they are wrong.

She thinks being a plain simple housewife is boring. She likes to have power and control over other people, but this will be only her secret, so you will only see a cute woman. Every things she does will look good, and she has all the woman's trick you can think of. She can manipulate men without they knowing it.

If you think she going to do everything you say because she loves you, then you will be disappointed. She could be a little tomboyish and she can understand you by just looking in your eyes. You may say sweet words which could sweep any woman, but not with the Scorpio woman. She will use her X-ray eyes reading your thought of what you just said or what you are going
to say. She always smile and she can really hide her feeling.

She will constantly show you that she loves freedom. If she has freedom, she will not leave you, but will even love you more. If she wants something, she will do everything to get it. She has her own sixth sense of people and you can feel that energy feed back when you around her. She likes a man who can earn her respect, and she will also respect and feel proud of that man. A man with power over her should not threat or challenge her confident. She likes to have a good looking, strong and healthy man especially if she start to compare with her friends' boyfriends. It is a plus if he hold a degree or a good career.

She is a hot lady. She likes heavy music. She either loves or hates, there are no "fond of", or "like" for her. Love has no "may be", or "perhaps". If she is real mad, she will trash and throw things. Her wind storm can sweep all her dishes and you could get accidentally hit on your head for this matter. Be calm, it is just your grand mother favorite china for she has good quality as much as her bad tempered.

Sometimes she shows her weakness, but it won't be long. She will put herself together and back to be that hot chili again. If she loves you, it will be no matter what other people may say. Her relationship will be more important than what is right or wrong. Because of this reason, you may know some Scorpio woman become a second wife, a mistress. She is spoil, but she allows her love one to over power her. Dating this woman, you should not keep old love letters in your pocket or in your house. It could be a love letter 2 years ago, but never mind she will argue about
this since this is a big deal for a suspicious woman. Remember she has a temper of the shrew.

If you play a cold war with her, she will treat you likewise and double it. If you stood her up once, she will stood you up 2-3 times. She is quite fair in justice, so she can accept your apologies as much as she can pretend to accept things for now and wait for a pay back revenge in the future. If you are nice to hear, she will double that to you as well. A real fair woman. She likes to make and spent money. She likes to have fame and reputations, and never let herself broke and have no name at the same time. She is too proud and will not accept status of being "Poor". She loves to have face, so if you are a manager with small salary, she will be proud more than more
money being a truck driver. She hates to think and she can not stand a feeling of being a "Nobody".

If you like her, play a little hard to get. This will excite her a bit. When you go out on a date, set your schedule, but do not let she knows that you have planned this for weeks. Always go to pick her up on time or better to go 5-10 minutes early.
