I’m thirteen weeks & very active

“Daddy,Mummy, can you see me arching my body? Can you see me moving around in Mummy’s tummy? Can you see me playing with my hands just now, I opened and closed them?”

In that short scanning of 5 mins+, that’s what Daddy & Mummy saw. Baby is very active, even the gynae say so. Baby is growing very well and is now at 65 mm long and the EDD is brought forward to 061009 (that’s one month after daddy & mummy’s wedding anniversary). Mummy also put on 2kg since the first check up.

Blessed

Throughout all my last few years of working life, I’m always thankful to God for blessing me with good bosses and colleagues.

One of my very nice & close colleague – she really is a blessing. Not only do we work well in the office, we can share personal things outside office. My prayers for her has always been that she live a happy life and she will come to know Jesus one day.

When she first knew that I was preggie, she already told me that she want to give me a playpen and a high chair which are not even opened yet. Today,she just told me that she will also give me a stroller and a car seat. Though these 2 items are hand-me-down, I really appreciate the thought and gestures.

God is indeed a good God. He don’t bless us in just one aspect but in every portion of our lives. For me,the blessing is a good colleague – someone who truly cares even when she is a non-believer.

Missions

Two of my cg members are going for mission trip tmr..After being a leader for sometime,I’m really happy that finally I have members who want to go for mission trips and experience for themselves what it’s like to be out there in the mission field.

I’m proud of my members for taking that step of faith to do it. Though there were many last minute changes – like they were told at 7pm+ that is postponed to May. Then suddenly at10+,they were told that is on again. Mission trips are always like that – there will always be last minute changes here and there.

Just pray for my members to be able to rest well in the coach tmr morning and they will go there with a great attitude and their lives are tremendously impacted. I can’t wait to hear what they have to share with the cg next week..

Cold Sweat

I was already at the bus stop,waiting for my bus to go to work. Suddenly, I just broke out in cold sweat,my mind went blackout and my vision became blurred. I squat down and almost fainted. Thank you to a kind elderly lady who rub some medicated oil on me.

Slowly,I made me way back home to the horror & dismay of hubby. My whole blouse was wet and I can only immediately lie down on the bed. Called the gynae and she asked me to rest and monitor if it happened again.

Now,I just feel that body is alittle weak and all I want to do is to rest and sleep.

Baby know how to choose time

When I was on my way to Cg on Thursday, I was feeling very uncomfy and nauseous. I didn’t even have energy or appetite to finish the porridge that my member bought for me until my member was a little worried.

Surprisingly as my members began to reach one by one,I felt much better and had the strength to lead the whole prayer meeting. There was no discomfort and I was my usual high-spirited and vibrant Rachel again.

Once the meeting officially ended,I began to feel the uncomfortable feeling again, all the way thru my journey home.

My only conclusion was bb know that mummy has to lead cg, so can’t make noise during then. Any “protest” can only be done before & after the cg…

Rest & rest

As far as I can remember, I’m seldom on MC for 2 days. I thought I can go back to work today but I still woke up with slight fever, so rested at home again.

Yesterday, I woke up at 9+, see the doc,took breakfast,settled some stuff and slept again from 3pm to 530pm. Then I woke up,boil potato and carrot soup to drink as I really have no appetite.

Today,here I am blogging again at 11am. Though I’m not as weak as yesterday,there is still slight spinning in my head and no appetite still. Only managed to eat some bread with milk. Probably will buy porridge later for lunch. When I told my mum last night that I’m down with fever and doc gave panadol,she got so worried and asked me not to eat too much pandaol and say is not good for the baby. Hmm, I thought I read online somewhere that pandaol is ok. Anyway,I don’t take at all 3 times,try as much as possible not to depend on it. Pray that with the rest and sleep,the fever will soon go away.

I think I be very stressed tmr when I get back to work, having to face the huge pile of work on my desk.. Sigh…

Down with fever and flu

Mummy’s sick,down with fever and flu. Head also spinning and feel so “groggy”..

Doc gave panadols and told me to rest as much as possible. Even as I blog now, I can feel my head spinning and I just want to finish asap so that I can lie down.

My neck and shoulders are aching too. And it doesn’t help that the nauseous feeling is still there, plaguing me every now and then.

Baby,be good

Dear Baby,

Mummy is feeling super nauseous now & it has been on-going since 8+…Though mummy has “evening sickness” usually around 4+ to 5+, but this is the first time that it has been that long. The feeling of wanting to vomit but nothing to vomit is so uncomfy.

Though Daddy tries his best to comfort Mummy but nothing seems to help. Daddy is helpless and now watching TV while Mummy is blogging. Dear,do you hear wifey’s cries?

So, baby, pls be good and help mummy along so that mummy can really rest soon. This week is a super long week ahead of mummy – meeting on tue, cg on thur, singles comm meeting on fri and the big event on Romance & R/s Conf on sat.

Love Mummy

Kind gestures

Ever since my CG members knew about my pregnancy, they are so excited. So, I told them jokingly, “since your love me so much,better don’t qi wo now”…And flow together with me to see growth in the CG,hahaa..”

Anyway,some of them are really sweet & kind. One of them bought a bag of sour plum candy to ease the nauseous, another blessed me with 2 bottles of milk powder to drink, another has already listed down the items that she wants to get for baby..

Baby and mummy are well-loved.

Chicken rice – Eeks

I really regretted eating chicken rice for lunch today. As my admin went to tabao for us,so everyone order chicken rice & thought is easier to settle mah.

But I felt that the food was so difficult to digest and keep having the feeling that something is stuck somewhere between the tummy & chest area. So, no chicken rice for now..
