Church friends

Errr.....specially to Jialing and QL, if you have found out about my pregnancy by reading the blog, please keep it to yourself first!! Please please please!!

Please spare me from the well wishes+advices+looks of shock and disbelief from the aunties in choir. These will come later. And I haven't even broken the news to both Reverends yet.

Somehow I react very strongly and negatively to old wives tales about pregnancy - minimal movement, eat for two, cannot eat pineapple (not that I love pineapple and eat it everyday), cannot do household chores or lift heavy stuff, cannot bathe after delivery....to my horror, pple start treating me like invalids (though with good intentions of course)!! They frown when I told them that swimming and climbing stairs are good for pregnant women.

This doesn't happen among my friends who believe strongly in science and knowledge. Actually if we read up more, we will have a better understanding of how our bodies work, and how the baby developes.

The Western view seems more convincing to me. We would know that exercise is very important for stamina and relief of back pain. My gynae also mentioned that most women in Singapore are over-nourished than under, so no worries when at times we can't swallow anything.

Anyway, so much for my venting of frustration, probably a mood swing (now I can blame it on my hormones) :)

I owe you an Explanation.....

Right.....I am going public on this....can't hide anymore. The reason behind my lack of motivation to bead and to shop (and stopped loving food!!!) nowadays:

Ok this is not a tumour, but my 3.2cm little one in my uterus. Hope you are able to make out which is the head, little hands, body (about the same size as the head) and the legs (or little lumps that will turn into legs). At this time when I post this up, it is already more than 5 cm. The pregnancy sag in my uterus is bigger than a grapefruit!

After ~ 4 years of marriage, we prayed and planned for this since last year Nov, and God gave peace in our hearts after praying. We conceived at our first try and God gave us this little fellow.

I am going to be a mummy in August!!! :)

Dear daddy-to-be also prayed for a comfortable pregnancy, and true enough, I don't feel nauseus, just a poor appetite. No constant urge to urinate, no extreme fatigue, no big mood swings. Thank God!!!

However, the hormonal changes in my body resulted in me being 'not keen enough' to touch the beads and stones. I owe SO MANY ladies out there many orders, and I am really very sorry that I couldn't explain to you the situation earlier. At first I suspected it was depression, haha!

But now that the 1st trimester is going to be over, I am expecting a new surge of energy in me and I should be able to bounce back!!! Yesterday was the first step - I went back to the gym for some light exercise!

So as a little gesture of apology for my delay, all orders made last year will be given a 5% discount :)
