My Mum ever doting on me, sew a swaddling cloth for my Piglet. She is going to sew a blanket later and I will be doing the finishing touches on the beansprout pillow for Piglet. My stewpig hubby saw the swaddling cloth that Mum has sew. He shown no signs of appreciation....
Never mind about this since Guys dun understand such stuff.... Yet, he choose to anger my Mum with this stupid comment of his. I guess i m partly to blame for letting my Mum knew about this comment!
Its a tradition for my hubby side to give Pig Trotters' Vinegar to my side during Piglet's full month celebration. Also, it is meant as a gift to friends and relatives too!
So, Piglet being the first grandchild at my side... My side will be enthusiastic and excited about its birth! My Mum wanted to preserve the ginger (essential ingredient for the Pig Trotters' Vinegar) first as the longer the ginger is preserved, the more tasty the Pig Trotters' Vinegar is!
At first, my stewpig hubby tot it was a Cantonese thing. After explaining to him about the above and commenting that how much his family loves to eat it. He commented, "My family dun have such high class taste in pig trotters' vinegar as yours!" My Mum is furious! She is doing it as a favour to my in laws... Yet my stewpig hubby dunno how to appreciate it!
It was agreed that tomorrow, we borrowed my in laws' car to buy the giantic claypot and the sweet vinegar to prepare the ginger. Actually, I dun want my Mum to do the ginger as my in laws dun appreciate things that people had done for them and take things for granted!
As much as i know my family is particular about things, still it is wrong of my hubby to comment on it! Guess, I have to learn how to filter information! :(

Down with Flu!
Flu strikes me! Yucks, feeling very horrible! Groggy and grouchy!
I was on MC yesterday, slept the whole day. I felt better but i m so sleepy today!
Managed to sleep during lunch, to hell with the co policy of no sleeping during lunch! What can you do to a pregnant mama who is sick? Plus all the big bosses are out of town for a meeting! Who gives a shit!
Just keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to recover soon!

Mum's back!
Mum is back after 1 week in Msia! She went to Redang, KL & Bentong!
Pretty surprised that Mum is back home so early... Usually, she will be in Msia for at least 1.5 weeks!
After listening to Mum, Sis & Bond's recollections of the Redang trip, I came to a conclusion. It was not enjoyable for the young ones! Sis & Bond laments about the elders' pattern etc. I told Mum that I m neutral to everything... Just accept it coz mabbe when i m old, i might have such pattern too!
My little piglet is really so realistic! Ah bond let me slept on his bed on the condition that his Elmo & Nici have to be sleeping with me. Then, this morning, Bond told my piglet to kick me coz i din sleep with Nici. Guess what, piglet really kicked me!
Think piglet is starting to react to sounds. It can recognise Lian Ann's voice liao... it will kick me when i stayed overnight at Bedok and meet Lian Ann the next day!

Current craves~
Being a pregnant Mama, I have so much cravings till my dear hubby dunno how to react to them!
My current craves, Burger King breakfast, coffee ice cream, wanton noodles at Sunshine Plaza and pedicures!
Dun ask me about the food cravings, i can't explain! For pedicures, i can't bend over to cut my toenails... So, i find it a luxury to get my toenails done and painted nicely! Not to mention, getting my poor feet pampered! :)
Guess that explains y i m so broke!

My Early Birthday Gift to myself!
This is the birthday gift that I had bought myself!
Its Philips latest home theater system, model HTS6600. It can play music, DVDs, has a FM tuner and comes with an IPod docking station! Though, i had given my ipod mini to my sis!
This system costs me S$999 but i m paying it via 36 months interest free instalment!
My only concern is that when Piglet is a toddler, this system might be destroyed by it! :(

Invasion of the cockroaches!
I dun understand y cockroaches invaded my home! I dun cook!
I had killed 2 just now and some in the past. Those roaches are small in size but equally disgusting!
Dear hubby says we must buy those cockroaches pellets to kill them! The problem is I dun even know where the source is! I just prayed that the invasion will stop soon!

Shopping for Baby Stuff!
This weekend, Pirate King and I spent our time shopping for Piglet's stuff. We ended up as poor parents especially Pirate King!
On Sat after sending Mum, HK Aunt and my siblings (going to KL) off at Novena Square. We went to get Pirate King's swimming googles and got my new specs done. After we settled our personal shopping, the quest began for Piglet's stuff!
Pirate King's colleague advised him to get stuff like diaper swipes etc during the Great Singapore Sale as such items can be kept and used like nobody's biz! So, we went to 3 different places to shop for baby stuff.
First stop - OG Orchard, we bought "Monks' robe", mittens and booties. As the hand me downs from my friend don't have those. Plus, the items bought can't be found at the next 2 stops we went and not forgetting a 20% discount on those items! Damage to the pocket at the 1st stop - S$34.40.
Second stop - Robinsons Centrepoint, this shopping mall is just besides OG Orchard. We bought Aprica milk bottles and teats. Initially, i have no intention to get them but Pirate King insisted on getting them. As the milk bottle has this special feature to reduce the amount of air sucked in by the baby. Plus, it is highly recommended by my friend! Thank god, they have this promotion whereby 2 milk bottles/teats are bundled for the price of one! So, we bought 4 milk bottles and 4 teats! Damage done to the pocket at this stop - S$69.80. After payment for the bottles, i rubbed my tummy and told Piglet to be filial to the parents, Pirate King emphasized that Piglet must be more filial to him coz he spent the $$ buying the stuff for it!
Third stop - Takashimaya Dept store, we went after having a quick dinner at MacDonalds. They will having this promotion, 20% discount for all Pigeon products except special buys. We checked with the sales assistant on the discount and we realised that those Pigeon products found in the first 2 stops are eligible for discount here! So, we bought cloth diapers, baby bath, baby bathing sponge etc etc etc.... Damage done at the last stop - S$153.3o! Thank god with the shopping vouchers we got, we paid S$3.30 only!
Today, we went to Furniture Mall to get the furniture for the baby's room and a latex mattress for Piglet! Colonial Antique (the store that we got most of our furniture from) has a new outlet at Furniture Mall, we dun have to go to their warehouse in Balestier!
Furniture we got from them today, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe and a bench. It costs us S$2,250 and we paid them via a 12 months instalment plan. This helps to lighten our cash outflow burden.
It was really difficult to find a 2" single size latex mattress for Piglet. In the end, we settle for this super single latex mattress for Piglet. It costs us S$350 and will be delivered to us by end of June!
Pirate King just rubbed my tummy and told Piglet that its a fortunate pig! :)

Piglet's development
Yesterday, Dr Chan gave Piglet a thorough scan!
Piglet now weighs 300g. It is 20 weeks old and i m looking forward to see it in another 20 weeks time!
Everything is developing properly for Piglet. It is normal and healthy! I told Dr Chan not to tell me about Piglet's gender but he can let Lian Ann know.
I had told Lian Ann that he is not to broadcast to the rest of the world what Piglet's gender is! For me, whether boy or gal... Piglet is my precious child..... Whatever discomforts i suffered during my pregnancy is worthless when Piglet calls me Mummy for the 1st time!
Kinda scary to know that I am responsible for Piglet's future! Piglet, Mummy loves you most! U must be filial to your parents & family, be a well-mannered person and not let your parents worry about you constantly! :)

Unbearable Pain
There is this persistent throbbing pain at the left side of my chest. It has been there for 2 weeks plus and it gets worse whenever I m hungry, after a meal or whenever i need to shit!
Last nite, the pain gets so unbearable that I cried! Pirate King comforted me... I told him i felt so useless for not being able to endure the pain... If i cant endure this pain, what about the pain when I m in labour?
Piglet seems to sense my discomfort and kicked in response to my cries. I reassured piglet that its not its fault! The happy thing is Piglet is connected to me... Even though, i m unsure whether the feeling is piglet's movement... While i was suddenly startled out of my sleep by inconsiderate neighbours upstairs, piglet was also startled at the same time. This feeling is just wonderful!
