Happy New Year ~ Year 2009 here i come

Yesterday was my parents 2nd year anniversay but MaMa only realised it before bedtime. ==! hehe.. No choice, MaMa was too looking forward for 31th Dec to come, so that she could rest at home from 1 Jan 2009 untill i decide to come out in 1-2 weeks time.

MaMa believed that BaBa must be forgotten their anniversay as well, or else he should show some surprises, bring her out for dinner or do something to please MaMa. But it was ok. MaMa was very kind and understanding. Haha~ In MaMa's explanation, yesterday was not the most important and meaningful day to her. The most memorable and special day for her was someday in March (not her birthday) ^^ That's why she didn't mind that BaBa forgot to celebrate their 2nd year wedding anniversary. lol~

Since today is the last day of the year, MaMa decided to have hotplate BBQ dinner at home. Ah Ma will prepare all the food and wait for us to return from work. Such a happy ending to farewell Year 2008. ^_^

昨天是我爸爸跟媽媽結婚2周年的紀念日，但是媽媽却在睡前才突然想起來。唉没辦法，因爲媽媽心裡一直期待年底可以正式放假，却忘了12月30日這個大日子。不過，媽媽也很肯定爸爸也忘記了，不然怎麽都没有跟媽媽做任何表示呢？哈！反正對媽媽來說昨天並不重要。媽媽覺得比較有意義的日子是在3月的某一天。今天是我陪媽媽上班的最後一天，阿媽在家裡已經準備好鐵板烤肉等我們下班回家跨年囖！

Merry X'mas - I am about 38th week big

26 Dec 2008 was my checkup date and as usual, MaMa required to take her weight and blood pressure for weekly follow up. It's so unbelievable that MaMa's weight hit 21kg already =_= scary ya. BaBa was so afraid that MaMa could not slim down after giving birth (although BaBa promised to sponsor MaMa for post-natal massage and stomach binding.) But who to blame? I admit that i am the culprit that cause MaMa to gain so much weight =_=!!! Nevertheless, I have confidence in MaMa. I know she has strong determination to slim down before going back to Taiwan, or else she may not be able to wear all the pretty clothes. Haha~

Dr. Wong told BaBa and MaMa that my absorption was very good and steady in the last trimester. I am 2.74kg by now - I gained about 300g within 1 week. ^^ I am still moving actively and even performing few minutes of hiccups in MaMa's womb. Hehe.. Because of hyper active me, MaMa could not have good sleep every day and night. It's so suffer for MaMa and even getting worst for her to get up from bed in the middle of the night to toilet (highest record was 5-6 times in a night), to find a correct sleeping position and to breathe well. Eventually MaMa could stop working and start her maternity leave after 31th Dec 2008. She is totally exhausted during working days @_@

This Xmas, MaMa invited Auntie Esther, Uncle Kenneth and Alexis Jie Jie to our house for post Xmas dinner. They decided to have their favourite hot and spicy (Ma La) steamboat on 26 Dec 08 was because both BaBa and Uncle Kenneth only available on that day. The dinner was so yammy that 4 adults with 1 kid and 2 fetus finished all the food that MaMa prepared. ^^

My parents bought one xmas gift for Alexis Jie Jie. Its something like Lego but with additional motor inside to make it more lively and interesting. My gift from Auntie Esther and Uncle Kenneth was a pair of pretty and lovely shoes. MaMa like it very much as its so cute and comfy.

After our wonderful dinner and chit chatting till 11pm, we farewell Auntie Esther & family and rushed to airport to fetch Ah Ma. Ah Ma's flight was landed on time, but when she came out from custom, its almost 11.45pm. BaBa joked that lucky we were late for 20 min, or else we got to wait for at least half an hour or more. haha..

今天是我回去复診，也是阿媽從台灣來準備照顧我跟媽媽的日子。護士依照慣例先幫媽媽量體重，當媽媽踏上體重計時，數字持續上升。没錯，媽媽確實胖到21公斤，真是太可怕了！爸爸非常擔心萬一媽媽瘦不下來，事情就大條了。呵！不過，也因為如此我很順利的在1個星期内長胖300公克哦。最近不知道為何，我總是在媽媽的肚子裡打嗝。一到晚上就格外興奮，搞得媽媽都没有辦法好好休息。幸好媽媽撑到年底就可以開始休產假了。

看完醫生回家小睡一下後，媽媽便開始準備火鍋等待Esther阿姨以及家人來吃晚飯。因爲是要慶祝聖誕節，爸爸跟媽媽之前就先買了一套類似Lego的玩具要送给Alexis姐姐。而我則收到Esther阿姨送的一雙可愛的小鞋子喔！

大家邊吃邊聊，不知不覺已經11點了。阿媽的飛機預計11點15分抵達，爸爸只好用最快的速度趕到機場接機。我們到機場大概是11.30分，電視上的航班顯示阿媽搭的捷星航空早在11點就提早到達。看到行李區的人潮越來越少，還是等不到阿媽。媽媽還一度担心阿媽被扣在海關。 爸爸媽媽等了將近快20分鐘才等到阿媽岀關。爸爸還笑說幸虧我們没有提早到機場，否則就得要乾等1個小時。哈哈！

My 36th week in the womb ~ 15 Dec 2008

MaMa and BaBa were so anxious to bring me for my 36th week checkup but due to car accident early in the morning along our way to Thomson medical center, the traffic had jam for more than 20 minutes. By the time we reached the medical center, we were very late. It's so surprised that Auntie Esther's family managed to reach earlier than us. hehe.. ^^ When Aunite Esther went to our clinic to register and queue, it's happened to know that Dr. Wong went to assist her patient in labour and all appointments were required to postpone to an hour or later. So Aunite Esther decided to have lunch at cafe first before returning to queue. The timing was so right that we only waited for about 5-10 minutes to get to our turn.

Dr. Wong had a thorough check on me once again and this time i even gave her a kick when she scanned me. lol~ She measured my weight and the result showed that i was 2.45kg. ^^ Dr. Wong was very impressed of my growing. haha.. she announced that i am a medium size fetus by now. Since i grew bigger and heavier than she expected, MaMa need not to eat so much for the last 4 weeks. If everything goes well, my birth weight will be about 2.8 to 3kg. Dr. Wong adviced MaMa to maintain a medium size me, so that she won't suffer too much and take too long in labour.

After my checkup, it was Auntie Esther's turn. BaBa, MaMa, Uncle Kenneth, Alexis Jie Jie and Alexis Ah Ma were there to give her moral support. Each of us were so keen to see the peanut size fetus in Auntie Esther's womb. The 2D scan was so cleared that my upcoming playmate was about 8 weeks old. hehe~ And we once again confirmed that the baby's EDD is July next year. As Aunite Esther's next appointment will be 12 Jan 2009, MaMa hoped that i can be out on my EDD (which is on 11 Jan 2009), so Auntie Esther and family can visit me first before going for checkup. Nevertheless, MaMa is more excited to wait for Auntie Esther's 4th month checkup. Hehe.. because by the time MaMa already finish her confinement and able to bring me along to visit Dr. Wong and say hi to baby boy/girl. ^_^

大家別懷疑, 我已經在媽媽的肚子裡住了36週喔! 再過3-4個星期, 我就可以出來跟大家說哈囉了~ 醫生說我的情況很好, 目前已經有2.45公斤, 所以媽媽從現在開始不用再刻意大吃大喝了. 如此一來, 我才可以控制我的體重在2.8公斤至3公斤之內. 醫生也建議媽媽儘量保持體重, 這樣才可以把中等體型的我用最短的時間生出來. 在檢查完畢後, 原本醫生告知媽媽可以開始做運動跟散步來助產, 但是由於她在12月18日~23日的期間內休假, 所以最後還是決定暫時先不要運動, 等她回來在進行. 因為醫生怕萬一媽媽過度運動, 有可能會導致我提早出世, 來不及趕回來幫我接生. 呵~ 但糟糕的是, 媽媽現在根本沒有多少體力運動了. 在最後的2個月裡, 媽媽的體力已經到達極限, 根本沒有辦法走太多路, 更別說要她運動了. 連逛個街買東西都非常疲勞, 每個週末也一定要留在家裡睡午覺補充體力. 目前媽媽的雙腳也水腫到不行. 平時沒有爸爸上下班接送的日子, 實在很想哭, 因為短短的30-40分鐘的路程就已經要她的命了. 媽媽深深得體會到胖子的心酸跟孕婦的不平等待遇.

從媽媽懷我到現在, 上下班搭捷運的時候根本就沒有幾個人與願意讓位給孕婦. 這段期間, 最多只有6-7次有人願意讓座. 更讓人驚訝的是願意讓座的幾乎都是男人, 而不是應該更體諒女人的女人. 不知道新加坡的公民與道德在哪裡? 覺得他們的教育跟宣導都很失敗. 自私自利的行為讓人很受不了. 霸佔博愛座不說還搶用殘障/幼婦專屬的電梯, 只為了節省時間來方便自己. 媽媽非常看不慣這種行為, 甚至寧願搭手扶梯多走幾步路, 也不願意跟哪些不懂得禮讓的人一起搭電梯. 因為他們並不會看你挺著肚子就多禮讓點. 新加坡真的只能用罰款這招才可以約束人民吧?! 回頭想想, 雖然台灣有種種的缺點, 但是在道德方面就教育的很成功. 儘管真的使用了博愛座, 當看到更需要的人也一定會讓出位子. 這麼基本的做人處世新加坡人怎麼就是學不來呢?! 不曉得是他們太以自我為中心, 還是以前老師在上課的時候都沒有專心在聽. 哈~

This few days, MaMa kept complaining to BaBa that i did not behave very well in her womb, especially at night and before bedtime. But i was innocent. i just wanted to do some stretchings inside to make myself more comfortable.. Nowadays, MaMa's womb has very limited space for me to move. I really have no intention to kick her but inside just too cramp for me to sleep and move~

MaMa was telling BaBa that 1 month later, she will be totally released by carry a heavy me with those extra weight (or fats?!) in her body. Haha.. BaBa was wondering what am i doing inside everyday, whether i am asleep or awke. He even told MaMa that he wished to do another 4D scan on me. But as what Gynae said, it was only advisable to take the scan during week 27 to 29. Hehe.. BaBa has no other way but to wait for another month to see the real me (someone look like him ^_^)

MaMa told BaBa that i was very fortunate to travel so many places with her. lol~ MaMa and BaBa brought me back from Taiwan in early May, we travelled together to Bangkok during end of August. MaMa, i and Ah Ma visited Ah Gong in Vietnam during Oct and we then drove to Genting Highland few days later after Ah Ma's return from Ho Chi Minh. My very last trip was going to Johor with Auntie Esther & family in Nov. HaHa!

MaMa said this chinese new year, not only Ah Ma will come to look after us, Ah Gong will also fly over from Vietnam to stay with me for 6 days oh. Actually this chinese new year we are supposed to go back Taiwan to celebrate, but because MaMa is having 1 month confinement at home, Ah Gong decided to fly over to stay with us. MaMa already planned with BaBa that next chinese new year we will go back to enjoy the cool winter and also celebrate the happy season with Jiu Jiu, Ah Yi and my 2 lovely cousins: Da Ge - Jason and Er Ge - Wade. Ah Gong said we must arrange a island tour one day when whole family gather together. Ah Gong just changed a 7 seater Toyato Innova in Taiwan this month. So sweet, next time when we go back, we dont have to worry how to squeeze so many people in one car. Hehee..

According to Jiu Jiu and Ah Gong, they already reserved 1 room in Vietnam for us. Now the new factory is still under contruction and renovation. Jiu Jiu promised to make it cosy for me to stay when we go over. See, how fortunate i am?! My Jiu Jiu and Ah Gong even wish we can move over so that BaBa and MaMa can help out the business in vietnam. ^^

MaMa had discussed with BaBa the travelling schedule for next year. It is almost set. Haha.. End of April (after i am 3 months old), they will bring me back to Taiwan. Maybe around July, we will take few days to Vietnam to visit Ah Gong, Jiu Jiu and BaBa's friend. Bangkok trip in Aug yet to be confirmed, but our definite trip after my 1 year old will be next chinese new year. Yeah~ MaMa already got the idea where to buy the lovely winter jacket for me. Hehe.. Not to mention, BaBa must work very hard to save money and sponspor all the trips ya ~

這幾天媽媽一直跟爸爸說我沒有乖乖, 一直在裡面亂動. 可是我真的是被冤枉的! 我不過只是想要伸個腰, 舉個手, 提個腿活動一下筋骨而已啊. (人真的不是我殺的..) 誰叫媽媽的肚子越來越沒辦法支撐我. 裡面越來越沒有空間讓我活動. 呵! 媽媽自己也很會安慰自己, 還跟爸爸說再過1個月他就可以解脫了. 腳就不會每天酸痛, 呼吸也不會困難, 也不用扛這麼重的我外加那些不必要的10幾公斤重量(是肥肉吧?!)

每天晚上我都特別好動, 尤其是要睡覺時我特別high~ 爸爸都會敲敲我, 問我在裡面幹嘛, 到底是睡了沒. 他甚至想要再帶我去做4d掃描看看我的一舉一動. 可是之前醫生說過, 最好的時間是胎兒成長的第27到29週. 所以爸爸抱歉拉, 你只能等我出世才可以看到我的真面目(一個很像你的我) 嘻嘻!

本來來臨的農曆新年我們要回去台灣慶祝, 但是因為媽媽生完我後要在家裡做月子, 所以只好改到隔年了. 雖然如此, 阿媽會來這裡陪我們做月, 阿公最後也答應要從越南飛過來住個6天. 這次沒辦法必須要留在新加坡, 但是媽媽可是已經跟爸爸說好下一個新年一定要回去台灣. 阿公說等過年全家人都要到齊, 大家開車去環島旅行. 阿公這個月已經換了1台7人座了喔, 這樣以後我們回去就可以坐的更舒適了. 真期待可以跟大哥-承勳, 2哥緯城一起出游~

舅舅跟阿公都說他們在越南已經幫我們預留了一間房間讓我們住. 舅舅還說他會弄得很簡單舒適. (對了, 舅舅, 別忘了最起碼要有cable 電視跟網路線喔!) 看, 我還沒有出生已經這麼紅了. 不過主要原因還是因為舅舅跟阿公想要爸爸跟媽媽住在越南, 幫他們一起打拼事業賺錢拉. 目前媽媽大概已經把1整年的旅遊計畫規劃好了. 哈哈~ 預計明年4月底 (等我3個月大之後), 我們就回去台灣給阿祖跟親戚看看我. 7月抽空去越南, 讓爸爸去看新工廠環境, 順便跟他的朋友碰面. 每年的8月曼谷旅游就看到時的情況做決定. 最後就又來到可愛的農曆新年回台灣去! 爸爸可是很期待台灣的冬天喔. 而且媽媽也已經開始盤算明年要買好看的外套給我回台灣穿. 真是酷~ 不過, 整年的旅遊計畫, 還是要靠爸爸努力賺錢來贊助所有的旅費. 爸爸, 加油喔!

Looking forward my next checkup

My next appointment supposed to be next monday, but since MaMa wanted to have same appointment date with Auntie Esther to see her tiny mini fetus, she decided to postpone to 1 week later. ^0^

MaMa and Uncle Kenneth was trying to count Auntie Esther's expected due date for their new member, but she really wanna faint after the calculation. Why? because it might be next year JULY ~>_<~

My godness, what a heart attack to MaMa. All of them were borne during the month of July. In other words, MaMa's pocket will have a bigger hole after next year. It starts with Auntie Esther, follow by Uncle Kenneth, new born baby and then Alexis JieJie. They are trying to make everyone's life difficult =_= But as for me, i am still very anxious to wait for baby's arrival. We sure can have fun together. Haha
