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... 

Bao Bao at 36 weeks!

Less than a month... 4 more weeks to go!

Estelle gave birth last night! Her daughter, Emma, is 51cm and 3.4kg! Her gynae had advised her to induce the baby because of the size... She's just adorable!!

I told Tiki, I think I might want a girl next time... ;) We'll see~

Also, an ex-colleague of mine, Peggun, she had put on ONLY about 9kg and she's due end of November as well! I don't know how she did it!! Incredible~

Just done with organizing Bao Bao's wardrobe. Another thing to strike off my to-do list. Everything is so tiny! heehee...

I experienced PAIN on Monday while at home using the computer. It started around 1pm in the afternoon. The sharp pain on the lower right hand side of my belly. Initially, it was not really unbearable... but the pain intensified after an hour... So, I got up and walk around the house... PAIN PAIN PAIN! I broke into cold sweat then I was walking and complaining to Tiki at the same time... I began to worry abit. I mean it doesn't really feel like contraction (from what I read) but then just in case, I started to pack my Hospital Bag! Eventually, the pain sort of subsides and comes back on a few more times then nothing... LUCKY! =) I'm not even sure if it's fake contractions or whatever it was... because only the lower right side of my belly really hurts! Feels like my muscles were pulling really hard and it was sharp pain... Almost like somebody is stabbing me in the same area over and over...

I'll just check with Dr Suvit again on my next visit.

I don't think I've mentioned about bleeding gums. Well, I suffer from bleeding gums since the beginning of my pregnancy and I think it's not getting any better... After brushing, my spit is ALL RED and bloody... Yucks! I think I lost alot of iron there! Nothing I can do about it...

My Baby Bump at 36 weeks

Breathing inside Me~

Recently, I've experienced this a couple of times... It's just AMAZING!
Initially, I keep thinking what is Bao Bao doing inside. Because the sensation is rhythmic and constant. It does not feel like him hiccuping or just squirming around.
He's Practicing Breathing!! hehe... How adorable is that? Looks like he's practicing for his Big Debut! =)

I took a video this time... View from the top right of my belly...

Chulalongkorn Day

It's a substitute Public Holiday today because Chulalongkorn Day was on Saturday, 23 Oct, 2010. He is considered one of the greatest kings of Siam. So the day is to remember the day he passed. Well, most of what I can remember of him was what I've studied in Secondary school and that he is Mongkut's son. Also, I remember him as the cute little boy with lots of questions in the movie, The King and I (1956).

Tiki Playing

We made dinner tonight. It tires me quite alot after making the meal. My feet and back would hurt. But then it's all worth it, because we get to eat something home-made and we're quite sick of eating out all the time. Tiki made his renowned Lotus roots soup while I made Eggs with french beans and tomatoes, Stir-fried bok choy, Dark Soy sauce chicken leg and Brown rice... I can't wait for my Parents to arrive! Then we can kick back and enjoy all my favourite home-cooked food! 

We had a very relaxing and laid back long weekend. The usual groceries shopping on Sunday. Bought a couple of plastic drawers for Bao Bao's massive wardrobe collection as well as a New toy for him! I thought the night light was pretty cute~

Sea Turtle Night Lights

On Saturday, we visited Dr Suvit for our fortnightly check-up. From our last visit, he told us that he'll be doing an ultrasound to check on Bao Bao. But he said at 35weeks, there's not much use in checking because you cannot do anything about anything if there's anything wrong... So he advised us to postpone to another 2 weeks later. Tiki and Me were so excited initially to be able to have an ultrasound and see Bao bao since our last scan at 22weeks... so we left with some disappointment. So far everything is normal and good, except my weight gain... I don't think it's a good thing when the gynae says, "Oh my god!" when he sees the number. Oh well, I don't really care now... It is what it is~ I need to eat and I will keep eating! =)

Bao Bao at 35 weeks!

Bao Bao is going to have a new Friend!! hehe~ It's so nice to hear the wonderful news... YEAH!! I can imagine us all playing together... =) I'm going to guess it's a BOY... hehe!

Congratulations Bryan N Cheryl!!

I went out to get somemore stuffs at the Emporium today just in case I won't be able to walk as much later stage. I shopped around for about 2 hours and I felt really tired, as if my ankles are going to give way...  But it was nice out shopping by myself again... But the traffic jam was pretty bad on the way home... I was stuck for about an hour...
Tiki was asking me yesterday, "How come you don't waddle??"
My answer was, "Because I try not to! I can waddle if I want, but as of now, I'm trying not to if I can still help it!" heehee~
I think waddling looks awful, but I know eventually I'll start... Yeah, I know, I'm vain!

The other day, Ash was telling me her pelvic crack when sleeps sometimes during her preganancy... Now I have it too! I was turning to another position then suddenly "CRACK"!! Blah! Hurts big time... Happened a couple of times already... I think I better do more stretching exercises... Hopefully it helps...

Although Prevacid has been helping me with my heartburn, I try not to take it everyday. Some days I get acid burning down my throat or riding up to my mouth. Also, because Bao bao is getting bigger, food gets more difficult to digest. Sometimes, I want to burp but the gas would not come out instead a mixture of food and acid was pushed up into the edge of my throat which I swallowed back in~ It's disgusting and nasty!

I have problem with swallowing solid/liquid into the correct passage nowadays as well... Is this part of the clumsiness of pregnancy or am I blaming everything to it? hehe! What I mean is I choke every once a while and end up coughing like a maniac!

Bao bao is very active now... And I'm very happy about this... I love feeling his butt and thighs when he's squirming around... It's really quite fun~

My Baby Bump at 35 weeks

Prenatal Lesson 3

Today's lesson focused on postnatal care and taking care of the Baby~
I didn't think there was much content in the lesson though... Probably a few tips here and there.

Check out the picture on the slideshow. Look familiar? haha... Tiki said I copy the picture... But I took mine days before this lesson plus I got my inspiration from a TV ad!! hehe~ I like mine better... ;) Purely because it's MINE!

Lesson ended about an hour earlier than previously. But the traffic outside was so BAD!!! We had to wait for for about 45mins for our driver who eventhough he was already in the Hospital's carpark before we can even get into the car. And then another 40 mins stuck in the Hospital lane... Then, when we got out into the main road, another 30mins in the Jam!! I'm just glad it's the last lesson and we never have to go back to that place again...
