等吃...等睡...等生...幸褔!!!

I've been sticking my ass on the couch staring at my Macbook or watching documentaries with my Parents in the day... Other than that I'll be reading in my bed or snoozing... Once a day, we'll still head out for lunch or groceries shopping. Mummy will be in charge of preparing dinner with some help from Papa while I take my daily nap... I will be woken up to the house smelling wonderful scents!

If this is not Bliss, I don't know what else is... =) I suppose when we're young we take these things for granted... But after living independently for such a long time, I guess I'm able to appreciate these gestures of LOVE...

The Perfect Nasi Lemak Combination With Coconut Rice

Friday night, we had dinner with Roy... His main purpose to Bangkok is to visit 白籠王, a famous divine being who advised many Hong Kong Celebrities  inclung Tony Leung and Edison Chan. Anyway, Roy brought 12 bottles of Bird's Nest with American Ginseng for me which was highly recommended by one of our friends. Surprisingly, it isn't as expensive as the Eu Yan Seng one I've been having and it taste so much better!! Happy! He also brought along 2 bottles of Pandan kaya for us! =)

Tiki and Me had dinner with Roy again along with Kelly and Roland on Saturday night. This time without my parents. Went to Somboon Seafood... I was so tempted by the Fried Oyster (Hoy Thoot) that I had one piece with the fried flour/egg! Luckily, nothing bad happened!!
I'm so glutton and Tiki always don't stop me!!! I'm just so spoilt~

Bao Bao at 38 weeks!

2 more weeks to go~

And we're just waiting for D-day to arrive. Right now, it's just a matter of a waiting game.
My friends seems more paranoid than me about me delivery... hehe~ Don't worry! I will update you~ hehehe!

I can feel Bao Bao slowly making his way down or perhaps changing his position bit by bit because I feel movements in places I've never felt before... I go to the loo almost every hour during sleep hours... Experiencing slight soreness in the back some nights which is also a symptom of labour... That made me anticipate that labour will come anytime due to that. Then I'll simply sit up and freeze for a moment... I guess due to our size, back soreness is sure to arise... Just have to take note of my posture.

Then again, I have a feeling that he is still not ready yet... I'm not sure why I have this feeling. Probably because I think he's really comfy inside my uterus! haha...

Right now, I don't feel too uncomfortable or irritated by most of my pregnancy ailments. I guess, I'm getting used to carrying Bao Bao, so right now I'm truly enjoying myself! =) I'm not sure why I'm different from other mothers, but I'm loving this stage of my pregnancy... Somehow I want to keep him inside... then again, I cannot wait to meet him!! I think I'm gonna miss him inside of me when he's out...

My Bump at 38 weeks

Feels Like Home Again

Since years ago, I haven't been spending alot of time with my parents. What I mean is staying with them... After such a long time, I'm experiencing my "Childhood" all over again! =)

We used to do KTV sessions and sing-a-long to songs to Oldies and Hokkien songs at home... So we've been doing it during their stay here by looking for these Nostalgic songs from YouTube. Brought back so much memories... 

I'm enjoying Delicious and Healthier home cooked food all the time. Needless to say, I've "retired" from any chores... Mummy is doing all the cooking!! YEAH~!

Things parents do for their children... It's just unbelievable... And I'm totally relishing everything! =) I got me wondering if I'll be doing the same in future...

I'm still going out shopping for groceries with them so that they'll get used to the different supermarkets! Probably next week onwards, I will stay home to rest.

During our Skype session with my brother and XingNing,  I could tell that she really misses her Grandma and she kept saying, "我要去姑姑家!" She's so cute!! Well, I suppose they'll come visit me next year! =)

Tiki got really sick from the yearly Off-site Dinner with his colleagues on Saturday night. Every single person was toasting/congratulating him for expecting a son and he could not reject. He had about 10 glasses of whisky on the rocks... He was still sober when he got home at about 10pm... But then he started throwing up around midnight...  ALL NIGHT!! Poor thing... We tried different remedies... Well, I did all I could to make him comfortable... It really worries me to see him like this. Mummy made some porridge for him before we head out for groceries shopping... Thank god, he became well in the afternoon after all the TLC~ =)

Guess what?!
My Mummy was able to clean my Chao Tar Pot!!! It looks brand New! She's really that capable at washing stuffs!! I'm serious! Nothing can 難倒 her~
(if i've known, this can be done, i wouldn't have to buy a new one...)


Chao Tar Vs After Wash


Mummy made dinner for us... Some kind of Hokkien Porridge she learnt from her Grandmother... we call it Kiam Ber~ I used to have it all the time when I was young. Ingredients include deep fried hard tofu, mince meat balls, rice in ikan bilis/soy bean broth.

So far, I've brought them for walk walk around our area to familiarize again... They tried a couple of the street food, like Pad Thai, Deep Fried Banana, Deep Fried Pork Belly... They keep saying they're going to put on weight for sure! Papa is enjoying Animal Planet, Discovery Channel and all the documentaries everyday... They're relaxing and chilling everyday... =)

Bao Bao at 37 weeks!

3 more weeks to go~

I'm feeling pretty good! Nothing much changing in terms of my feelings... Same joy and pains... =) Still gaining weight at about 1kg every 1 or 2 weeks. Swelling of my feet didn't get any better. Dr Suvit says this is ok and looks normal at this stage because my blood pressure is normal and I don't have any trace of protein in my pee~

Trotters

After so long, we got to see Bao Bao on ultrasound scan today!! But we're not able to make out much because he's getting big... I caught a glimpse of his face, mouth, little hand and little fingers during the process! SO Adorable!! I think he's going to have TK's mouth... hehe~ We'll find out soon enough!!

According to Dr Suvit, measurements looks normal... PHEW~ Yes, I'm always worrying this and that and I served many questions to him as well as keep checking on the internet, checking my books and checking with my friends... 

Our Statistics:
  • Heartbeat: 130 bpm
  • Weight: 2702 gm
  • Abdominal Circumference: 30.94cm
  • Head Circumference: 32.77 cm
  • Placenta Position looks normal, on my left side
  • Amniotic Fluid amount looks normal.
  • Bao Bao's Postion is Vertex
  • My Blood Pressure: 130/76
  • My Heartbeat: 87bpm
  • My Weight: 76.7kg
Dr Suvit says right now Bao Bao is a good size at this point... But he is warning me that the growth of foetus is most rapid in the last 2 weeks... So he's predicting a big baby... We shall see about that! =)

Another Weekend in Bangkok

Tiki and me had Char Bee Hoon for dinner on Friday night. This time I added different ingredients and it tasted better! =) I also added a whole lot of Brocolli into my Campbell Cream of Asparagus Soup... I know Campbell isn't so healthy, but I haven't had it for the longest time... =)

After dinner, we watched The Usual Suspects DVD movie which we bought somedays ago... Tiki was telling me there's a twist in the movie, that it's pretty good. I must admit it's really a cool psycho thriller! I guessed the twist right in the beginning of the movie but Tiki kept denying to keep me in suspense. Probably I've watched far too many and this was made in 1995.

Saturday, same ol' Emporium groceries shopping. I had to sit down a few times to rest while Tiki continued shopping... We had Japanese food for lunch AND dinner... We head to Aoi in Silom for dinner. Food was GOOD! I can't wait to eat Sashimi!!! I like to and mimick/imagine eating all the Forbidden Food and Tiki would always laugh and say, "Soon Soon Soon! A little while more~"
Got home and watched Gospel of John then Spurs Match. I fell asleep before the game is over... I doze off pretty easily now... ;)

Dinner at Aoi

Tiki's (I cannot eat!!)
Mine!
Inaniwa Udon with Kakiage :: Inari Sushi

Sunday, we had MOS Burger for lunch... Healthier than MacD! hehehe...
Made Pasta for dinner. I haven't made cream sauce pasta for quite some time... For a change, I made Alfredo Sauce with Onion, Clams and Crabmeat to go with Wholegrain Spaghetti and top it off with some sauteed brown button mushrooms. I also marinated and pan fried a piece of Kurobuta for side. Tiki made Blackbean Peanut soup!


My Parents are arriving tomorrow!!! YEAH!!! FOR TWO WHOLE MONTHS!!!
I'm also expecting some gifts and goodies! They're are going to make TAN/TOK FAMILY cuisines for us during their stay too! 太開心了!! hehe...
