Visiting the Gynae @ 29weeks

Yesterday, we arrived at BNH hospital at around 1700 and the nurse served me with a cup of Glucose. I was suppose to take my Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT)... Since pregnant women are prone to Gestation Diabetes. Dr Suvit kept assuring me that I have very low risk, but I tried to convince him that I eat alot and put on substantial weight within a short period of time... He just laughed away~ Anyway, so after I ingested the awfully sweet potion, we had to wait another half an hour before we saw Dr Suvit.

We still had a hundred and one questions for him with regards to my health issues such as the damn heartburn and baby questions... So, my heartburn medication to reduce gastro acid is called Prevacid and it cost about SGD4.50 per pill!! I was prescribed to 20~!! Unbelievably expensive~ I sure hope it works!!

Then I got my blood samples drawn for the GTT. It'll take about an hour before the results will be out. I took second shot of the Tetenus as well to complete the dosage...

I asked Dr Suvit to tell me the position of Bao Bao right now, so that I can make out his movements... Well, he's still head down with his back towards my left...

Doc kept laughing and mentioned that I'm a very knowledgeable mother and that Bao bao is going to be just fine... haha~ Think he was just trying to say that I'm very kiasu or kiasee~ hee!

While having dinner, the hospital called and reported that my blood sugar level is normal. Anything above 140 is deemed abnormal, so luckily mine was 133... =) (I can go pig-out somemore!! Hurray!!!)

Bao Bao's Heartbeat: 147bpm
My Blood Pressure: 134/72
My Heartbeat: 85bpm
My Weight: 68.5kg

Just finished my Thai lessons today with Khruu Mam.
She's quite a character... I don't understand why she likes to giggle and laugh while teaching me... Am I really that funny-looking or what? I was feeling a lil agitated and pissed... So I asked her during the previous lesson "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" Well, of cos I didn't ask her in a crude way... Her response was... More giggling and said because I look very cute and lovely... cos I look like 18 year old!! Yah RIGHT! hee~ (I bet she's thinking of something else and definitely not because I look lovely.)

So, what I wanted to say is I don't feel comfortable with strangers touching my Baby bump... I've always been a person who needs my PRIVATE space... Then this Khruu Mam likes to touch and call out to Bao bao and then knock knock my tummy! I don't like it cos ONE, I don't know her well enough... TWO, She is trying to wake Bao Bao up from his sleep!! She'll scream, "Tyler, Tyler Yap... wake up! Wake UP!" then knock knock knock~ Urgh~!! (I honestly wanted to BOX her face...) So I told her nicely that Bao bao usually don't move with other people touching my tummy... He is Shy~ hee! Then she did the same thing again... And still no response from Bao bao... So she stop...
This is the 2nd lesson she's doing this... And I seriously don't know how to stop her...
She's a nice lady and all and I don't hate her or anything, I just don't feel good when she does that...

Had Thai Lesson Number 4 today! Learnt how to tell time in Thai... But right now i can't remember most of it off hand... Khruu Rampeung (Teacher) is dii maak maak (very very nice) lady and keep advising me about pregnancy Dos & Don'ts~ Apparently she said that if i eat too much spicy stuffs baby will cry inside and come out with no hair! I sure hope that's not true! hehe...

Went to the Post Office at Sathorn City Building today.... I was directed by a lady to B1 by stairs (towards food court) but i couldn't find my way so i went back up to the ground floor... then i had to ask another lady in the building... She brought me to a lift and once again, directed me to B1 by lift this time. When the lift door opened, i was greeted by a carpark!! Then i saw a signage, so i followed... I actually had to go thru the carpark to find the Post Office located right at a corner of the carpark! I find that quite perculiar... Luckily the staffs there could speak some English... When i asked for rates to send a package to Iceland, an Experienced-looking staff showed me rates for Ireland! haha... I had to spell I-C-E-L-A-N-D it out... and said Nam Keng (Ice in thai)... then another Younger staff overheard and assisted the both of us... So i needed Experienced-looking staff to photocopy the rates for me... He was using this Epson Printer cum Copier cum Scanner cum Fax, all-in-one machine and I stood there watching him for about 10mins while he printed it out... IN COLOUR!! I wanted to laugh... B&W would have been more than adequate... But they were really nice... NO CHARGE~ so i said Thank you SO MUCH! That was cute! hehe~ 

2 pieces of postage rates In Colour 

( i think it costs about S$1 per piece of colour printing in sg)

Headed over to Sambuca for Italian food tonight... Food was really good... But i was seated facing all the Parma Ham Leg while the server was slicing it and also a whole cooler full of cheese and deli meat... Argh! How frustrating can it be?! I almost drooled when i saw all the goodies! But anyhow, dinner was nice... Adding on to entertainment, they were playing Mr Bean series on TV... TiKi said we should not let our kid watch Mr Bean, just in case the mimick his actions! haha... Well, maybe the anime series is okay~ Here's what we had...

Bread

Tiki had Singha Beer, Onion Soup and Spaghetti Vongole

I had Green Apple Juice, Caesar Salad and Porcini Mushroom Ravioli

Watching the game now Italy Vs Slovakia... and Ash is furious cos it's 2-0 at 76mins... with Slovakians leading... I'm blogging this to fulfil her wish for me to RUB IT IN!! hahaha... Cheers~!
