sick again

Yest morn felt my throat v unwell,but i still insisted to go to school, coz i simply have too much things to do n mark.. it's so scary!

Monday's timetable is really tedious.. I hate Mondays... Halfway thru my day, i felt throat even more painful than earlier on, n my headache started to come, after which i felt myself rather warm, i knew it should b fever... i was so unwell that i felt like vomitting again!

I endured til the end of the day. I couldn't take it animore, n after work, my bro acc me to the clinic to see doc... indeed i was down with fever of 38.4, n bad throat inflammation.. given 2 days mc.. but tmr i have lesson observation. I dun wish to re-plan n re-schedule liao.. so wats my plan is, i may get my colleagues to find me a relief teacher tmr as usual, but the last 2 periods where i will b having lesson ob, i will come n do it.. get it done, no matter how they think of my lesson, or watever grade they giving, i dun think i will care.

This is my 2nd fever experience in this preg.. is it normal? During Jaden's time, i dun get fever leh.... I tot i can endure for the whole week, but who koes half a day only n i failed... Headache is still around with me today, n it made my day so blue.. wanted to rest, but the residents staying below us are simply noisy n irritating. Slam door n shouting again.. v fed up with them.. so decided to get up with a heavy head.

I hope all this can end soon, coz i hate coughing... the feeling of coughing makes my lung so unwell, n made me feel like puking. hope can recover by e end of the week loh.

Leg cramps during sleep

1 of the scariest part of preg is leg cramps, n yesterday nite was the 1st start of this preg... oh i hate it, really..

Though during Jaden's preg, i encountered the cramps as early as early 4mths preg, n the frequency was rather high, but i always hated this segment. remembered 2 worst times when I had leg cramps. 1 was when i was driving my Picanto then at JP alone. drive halfway in the carpark, my left leg cramp, the leg which i need to step on the clutch. oh tat moment was like hell! i had to endure with the pain n continue to drive as there were cars behind me then... nearly cried... 2nd time was at home when we were sleeping. It came so suddenly tat i quickly woke hubby up for help, but he ignored me n continued to sleep. I was crying n relieving the cramp by myself. Of course next day he kana complained by me....

yest when the cramp came in the mid of our sleep, i asked hubby to get up to help me, nearly cried again.. after the pain was gone, i quickly went to sleep again. the pain was unbearable. I hope the frequency this time won't b so high as Jaden's time.

Today, my left leg muscle still hurts bcoz of the bad cramps... aiyo, i v scared loh.. sleep halfway then cramp.. haiz... i koe some mummies dun experience much of the leg cramps, but i did... preg is not easy really. i wonder if there is any ladies out there who enjoy being preg, tat woman must b crazy!

Is gender very important?

I'm in my 4th mth of pregnancy now. i'm sorry if many ppl didn't koe abt this, bcoz i was v low profile...

We still dunno abt the gender til now.. to us, is it impt?? Though hubby thinks this might b a boy again, n of course i do hope will b a girl, but after all, it's fated.

To us, we have a son already, so it doesn't matter abt the next one. U may think I'm/we r old-fashioned, but in some ways yes i am... hubby is the only son tat my in laws have, so it's better that hubby has a son or a few sons right?

Jaden is v naughty i know.. n i really couldnt guess out this bb's gender.. everything oso dun like, totally diff from Jaden's time.. But ppl say, dun trust the watever diff signs tat u encounter in a preg coz every preg is diff...symptoms diff dun mean will get a diff gender. My best pal helped me get a bottle of raw honey, good stuff, so tat i can drink n let bb drink too, since bb dun like soya bean milk or even my fav Anmum!! i dun dare to pin high hope to get a girl or wat lah, really.. coz $$ plays a big part too! But in some ways, if get another son, we really dun need to get any other new stuff, n same gender may b closer, tats wat i think bah, true or not oso must depend on their characters..

It can b quite a dilemma when it comes to, which gender u prefer? but, actually wat gender oso ok, as long as healthy. Jaden gave us a big heart attack by hospitalised a few times, most jialat one was when he was only 1.5mth old tat he even needed an operation. I nearly collapsed at that time. So, now gender doesn't really matter much.

I just hope, no matter what, Jaden can b a loving n doting brother... I will still love him as much as I do now.. Coz the love i have for him is irreplacable...

Water Play @ IMM

Jaden has not been playing with water for the past few months, all bcoz he kept falling sick...

Today, brought him to IMM play water.. luckily this time the area was open. the other day when we came, it was closed...

Jaden knew we would let him play, so he waited patiently for us to change him into his thermal swimsuit.. n there he went with his dad!

Today's weather was really good during the day.. But i find it a bit too sunny.. After playing for slightly more than 30min, my precious son dun wana play with water already. He ran down to the playground, wanted to play the slide...

We told him tat we would change him back to his clothes 1st. So after tat, he happily go play loh.. He was reluctant to go acutally. I told him he was a good boy, n promised him we would bring him here n play again as long as he is obedient. So when we left the playing area, he did not whine or throw temper.

Went to Giant to buy something b4 we proceed back... Jaden's nap took 3hr+... Obviously tired after playing! haha! How i wish i could have even more energy to handle him. I cannot carry him for too long now as my back will b painful or my tummy will feel painful. But I hope at least every Sat we can bring him out to play loh. Weekends always pass v fast w/o us noticing.. So, I can only look forward to the next Sat again..

April Fool's Day

Finally, we came to April liao! I do look forward to it.. bcoz 1st day of April, which was April Fool's Day, I had my apptment with my gynae.. N yest was also the anniversary of us moving over to Jurong... So fast, when we 1st moved over, I was only 12...

It's just a routine checkup, no scanning, so didn't get a chance to see bb at all, let alone knowing the gender. Well, though to us it doesn't matter already as we had already gotten a son, but of course, I still do hope to get a girl. But it's all gotta leave it to Fate.

I'm stepping into my 4th month of preg already. So sorry some of my friends n relatives do not know abt my preg, bcoz I was v low profile. Til now, only gained 3kg. But the tummy is so so big... hmmmm.. dunno y too..

Dr Chua used the machine to detect bb's heartbeat, and we heard it too. She went through the blood test results with us too yest. All of my blood n health were ok. The Down Syndrome ratio was also good, 1:14000+....

My next apptment will be detailed scan, will be in my 5th month of preg by then. Gotta wait til May already. Somehow I feel Jaden knows there's 'something' in my tummy, though I didn't tell him so much abt his sibling. Today is the 2nd (i think) time, tat he just suddenly came over to me, n sayang my tummy. I asked him sayang again, n he did. The other time was, I was lying on the sofa, he came n rested his head on my tummy lightly. Next mth when we get to know the gender, then I will keep telling him about his sibling.. Hopefully he will understand.

Well, for now, I can only try to keep myself healthy n wait patiently for the next apptment. baby, pls be good ok?
