Saturday - Shopping Day
1st stop, we went to the wholesale center to get some long sleeve clothing for Sheldon.
2nd stop, HB went to Sim Lim to get his hard disk.
3rd stop, we went to OG to get Sheldon's baby cot bed set.
4th stop, we went to Iluma, HB went there to get some toy. We dine at this Japanese Maid theme restaurant, Tora Shabu. The food is fantastic but have to compromise on the quantity. No photography allowed in the restaurant, I guess its a respect for the "maid" waitress.

Antenatal Check Up - Week 28
Sheldon had already turn down and weighing 1.134Kgm. This time round he didnt have hiccups like the last check up. Its so cute to see him hiccup during the ultrasound scan.
We conclude that Sheldon look more like HB than me from his head shape and his big round eyes.
As usual, Dr Wong measure my BP, he look at my hand and asked "did you lost weight?". This Mother to be got weight problem, the gynae constantly worrying that I do not gain enough weight.
Dr Wong: Got min 51 kgm or not (jokingly)
Me: Stand up the weighing scale, cross the finger. Read out loud the measurement on the scale. 51.9Kgm!!!
Im also worried abt the weight gain, as some Mother to be lost weight in the last 4 weeks of pregnancy. Already border line passing, I cannot imagine losing weight.
To Our Dear Son,
Mummy and Daddy is very proud of you. Esp Daddy!!! When Dr Wong ask whether you are kicking, Daddy say "yah very active baby" proudly. We will cuddle you in our hands in another 3 months time. Mummy really cant wait!!!!
28 weeks old with eyes open.
For being a cooperative boy for turning down, Daddy got you a pair of socks!!!

My colleague JC started giving out Yellow Daisy to the office lady this morning. I thought she should be the one who received from us as she is one of the kindest colleague I ever met in my working life.
Anyway today Singapore and many other countries celebrate World Kindness Day. Singapore marked World Kindness Day for the first time today.
Everyone just need to be a little more kind to everyone, we will have a more gracious society.

The "I" Society
Yesterday HB and I went to Ikea for our favourite Hot dog bread. We bought quite a bit of stuff and decided to take a cab back home.
A pregnant Caucasian mother to be was queuing in front of us. I guess she is at least 7-8 mths preggy judging from her tummy size and swollen legs. A group of girls was in front of her. They happily got on their cab and left the trolley behind. The Caucasian mother to be had to help them push the trolley back.
HB notice that the pregnant lady had a very heavy item on her trolley, so he went up and help to carry it to the taxi's booth. The taxi uncle despite seeing her with a big tummy, didnt came down to help......
After hopping into the taxi, HB were telling me that the item is really heavy and luckily her HB is waiting for her at the destination. I told HB the taxi driver 不会自动, as he didn't offer his help to the pregnant lady.
To my disgust, the taxi driver who is driving replied, "not that we taxi driver don't want to help, later if we help her and get ourselves injured we do not have company medical leave. We cant work for that few days and still have to pay for taxi rent. 人不为己，天诛地灭......"
Thru the whole journey, he goes on and on non stop on how tough is being a taxi driver, how taxi company exploit them and if we passenger would like to have better service, then taxi company have to do increase their benefit.
I was totally disgusted by what he say!!!
Our society has become so self centered that everyone only think of themselves. Its only me, myself and I!!!!
Luckily HB was around to help, I cant imagine how a pregnant woman is able to lift up such heavy item which HB comment its heavy.....

Born to Read, Read to Bond Programme
Hb and I went to our neighbourhood library to borrow books and read to our little one in the womb. Some may call us Kiasu parents, some may think what we are doing are unnecessary. I personally feel that prenatal education is very important, my lecturer from my antenatal class also emphasize that baby who received prenatal education can learn and adapt faster to teaching.
Reading also helps to bond you and your baby closer. Sheldon can recognize HB's voice and respond by movements in the womb.All this Kudos to Hb who make an effort to talk and read to Sheldon. Bonding with you child is a very important aspect in family life.
The library board has launched a "Born to Read, Read to Bond" programme in 2007. This programme is meant for expecting mothers and children from age 0-6 years old. Upon signing up, a free care packs will be given.
Free care packs item:
1.Baby Journal (Journaled milestones & 25-page information guide)
2.Baby's First CD (for foetus to enjoy; parents to learn to tell stories, nursery rhymes and lullabies)
3.Baby's Height Chart (indicate baby's developmental milestones and appropriate reading)
4.A reading record card. (Whereby for every 60 books that is being borrowed under the child's account, the child will be entitled a mystery gift from the library.)
You may read more about the programme from the library website
Indeed a gift!!!

Dumex Mamil Mama
To be frank enough, Im not a big fan of milk. Before I purchase the Dumex Mamil Mama, I had to FORCE myself to drink fresh milk every other day.
During my antenatal class, we were given a small cup of Dumex Mamil Mama during break time. I quite like the vanilla taste and its not as sweet as fresh milk. I purchase the 400gm pack size at a discount during my last antenatal class.
I suggest Mum to be to intake calcium regularly as it is an important nutrients during pregnancy and lactation. Please do not avoid drinking milk just because its fattening cause baby require those nutrients for growing up into a healthy and strong child. Go for a dip in the pool regularly helps to burn the fats and also shorten delivery process.
Benefit of Dumex Mamil Mama:
(Extracted from Dumex Website )
Pregnancy and lactation create high nutritional demands on your body. This is why a well-balanced diet is critical to supply all the essential nutrients for your health and the growing needs of your baby.
New advanced Mamil® Mama is specially formulated with Immunoforce™, a unique prebiotic combination of long chain fructo-oligosaccharide and galacto-oligosaccharide which stimulates the growth of good bacteria and suppress the growth of bad bacteria to help maintain a healthy gut.

Dream and Gender of Baby
Im not sure whether is it a mother instinct to dream of our own baby. I had a strong feeling that I am carrying a boy before Dr Wong check on the gender of Sheldon.
My first dream of Sheldon was before I even tested positive for pregnant. I was taking my usual Saturday afternoon nap, I dreamt that I was in the delivery ward delivering Sheldon. The nurse was wrapping Sheldon with a blue towel and I ask her why did you use a blue towel on my baby?
She replied "because yours is a baby boy, that why I use a blue colour towel". The dream ended here...... I didnt took it to heart as Im not aware that Im already 5 weeks pregnant.
Subsequently I dream of Sheldon, he appear to be a chubby and active toddler.
I remember of a dream that I was burping him after he had his milk but he was very distracted by the surrounding.
There was a dream that I saw Sheldon's face very clearly. He resemble me a lot esp when he smile. He was swaddle and come very close to me.
There was once I didnt recall any vivid image of anyone, but I remember telling Sheldon to latch on me properly when breastfeeding.
My last dream was that HB, Sheldon and I went for a tour. I was carrying a very chubby Sheldon, together with HB waiting for train to Chicago.
Almost 80% of Mother to be who dream of the baby gender turns out to be true. Has it work for you? It just my experience that matches with the reality. Take this lightly, as I know some Mother to be happen to have the opposite sex of what she dream of.

Just in case....
I wake up almost twice a night for toilet break. Most of the time I have to drag myself out of the beauty sleep to the toilet. There were so many times which I DREAM that I was happily sitting on the toilet bowl relieving myself, luckily I still managed to wake up and realise its only a dream.
I know many MTB does have this embarrassing moment were they no longer able to hold their pee in their sleep and wet the bed.
In order not to spoil my expensive mattress, I decided to lay a layer of absorbent pad underneath my butt before I sleep every night. Just in case........

Soya bean milk and Pregnant Woman
I know some MTB likes to drink a lot of Soya Bean Milk as its believe that it will make the infant's skin fair and smooth.
My mom was the first one to tell me not to intake so much Soya Bean Milk as she believe that most Soya Bean Milk contains 石膏分 which is not good for the unborn infant.
I did check with my lecturer during my Antenatal class with regards to Soya Bean Milk, she advise that if you are carrying a boy then its advisable to intake less Soya Bean Milk. Reason being that Soya Bean Milk contains a lot of oestrogen which is female hormones. If intake too much of it will cause the Baby Boy to have infertility problem.
I will confirm this issue with my gynae again on my next antenatal check up.
I would advise many MTB, the key to balance diet is intake everything in moderation.
Below is website that talks abt Soya Bean Milk and MTB.

Antenatal Check Up - Week 25
Weight: 803 gram (heavier than average by 143 gram)
Foetus Length: 45mm (longer than average by 10mm)
Dr Wong advise that BB is healthy and normal. The full test result is normal, I manage to see the blue prints of Sheldon's 23 pairs of chromosomes. A little regrets that I didnt ask for a copy, anyway I will ask Dr Wong to give me a copy of the blueprints on my next visit.
Dr Wong has been very assuring on Sheldon's problem, he told me not to worry too much as its 100% correctable.
HB wants to circumcise Sheldon, I read from the net that it can be done at birth. During the check up I also check with Dr Wong, he advise us to do it at the hospital. He will check with PD about the details and get back to us on our next visit.
Before I left the room, he told me to enjoy my pregnancy as much as possible. I really tks God that I make the right choice with Dr Wong. All the specialists he recommended to me are really professional, passionate and encouraging.
Some of you might have know what had happen to Sheldon, but those for dont, Im still organizing all the information I received from different specialist before I make a proper announcement.
