Into the 2nd

We are at 13 and a half weeks or 14 and a half weeks now... i think...

I have kinda lost count. haha.

We did the oscars, not bad considering that the radiographer have to agitate the baby a twice and we finished the scans in 3 attempts. sure beats 4 hours. So the tests came back ok, which makes us happy campers.

The symptoms have sort-of dwindled off...
1) morning sickness has become post dinner sickness
2) i still have motion sickness
3) Hubby says i'm more easily irritable. haha
4) I bought the ridiculously Flopsy which has chased away the hips and backaches for 4 nights now. thank god.
5)I cannot fit into any pants at all now. and have found another best friend in the belly belt.

Yesterday morning i woke up with small red dots of rashes on my face. they have become blotchy red ones this morning. FML...

Must wear some mineral coverage to work later. sigh...

On a happier note. I made an impromptu appointment to go see dr Seng. It was a fri afternoon instead of the usual sat morning one. I was having weird sore feelings in the tummy for the whole of thu and decided to get it checked out.

It's been a very fatigue week. I wonder how some mummies stay at work for 8 hours. Then I found out many worked only half days and went home to rest. The nausea has officially hit an all time high.

1) heat only makes the nausea worst. It's been bread, bread and bread...

2) my meat cravings have started to come back at week 10. I had to have chicken rice and happily managed a rather successful half plate. Yayness for the portion.

3) chocolate in small portions like bread and cookies seem fine. With a generous helping of fresh milk. But still rejected brownie. Huiying says maybbe it jus wants expensive ones. I suspect and will start trying!

But no more milk. Apparently my system is upset. Ie: the bowels is making the muscles act weird. So no milk for 3 days until everything is settled.

At the doc. A very clear scan was seem. It sure beats masses of blurness which our normal untrained eyes can't see. The formed was very defined and baby was very active, ala kungfu panda!

This brought a silly smile to the whole afternoon.

Yesterday morning morning I went to the MOE bog the briefing of my AMIS certification rubbish. This is other a epic 6 months application where my application first got lost and then the notification email was then also somehow lost again. It has been a tedious email battle with the stupid said MOE division. This and the other matter with the HDB has been me realize that:

1) the people working at the Stat boards have a ball of a time.

2)waste time at nonsensical meetings and training like 3 days a week.

3)spend the remainder 2 days working at a snail pace.

Probably get off work early everyday...

That say, they stormed through the briefing and let us off 30mins early and I decided to make plans for lunch. By some stroke of a genius luck, the bf was on leave and at her mother's. So in my Buay pie seh mode I invited myself over to join them for lunch! Its nice to see the cutest cowgirl and his sister for awhile as they go about their normal routine.

Then I heard scary horror stories about breastfeeding, of pain like pebbles, tears and blood.

I went home and prayed before I slept that I would preserver and have the courage to pull it through.
