"大肚婆”?



Wondering how big is my tummy?

Well, a lot of people said my tummy is small... with 4 months pregnancy... let's see the progress here :)


Photo taken on 3rd Oct, 2011 (~4 months).

Can you see my tummy growing?

Well, it is now 33 inches!!

Growth from 26 inches!

But my weight still remain the same, with 48kg... guess because of the morning sickness and bad vomitting. Hopefully will get better soon.

Our baby 1st check up and pregnancy complexity



We have done our first official baby check up on 19th Sept, 2011 right after we have landed in Penang from US. After the 16hrs long journey flight, i really felt there is a need to go for a check up to make sure of baby is doing fine. Further more, this mummy accidentally fell down when leading Coco and Sam at LA airport... really scared if there is anything...

Our first ultrasound - as you can see, baby is now 13weeks 6 days. :)
Can see her/his head, backbone, leg is kicking too! But think he/she is too shy to open up the leg, for us to see whether is a boy or a gal. hehe... we have done the check up at Adventist with Dr Zovi. Per what she said, everything is normal... told us can eat ANYTHING... complaint to her about the bad vomitting, but she insisted this is normal...

Is a strange feeling when you first time seeing your own baby moving and sleeping inside you... when you hear the heart beat, you just feel relief... I can sense the happiness and excitement from daddy too... the 2hrs waiting for the checkup is worth!

Things went wrong... on 21st Sept, 2011...
Mummy went to work as normal (first day back to work in KM), done some shopping at night for grocery... and after shower, around 10.30pm... mummy suddenly felt the bleeding! It was so scary, and we both dont know what to do! This is the first time i experience bleeding after the 3 months pregnancy. Thought everything will get smoother after the 1st trimester...

We drove to nearer hospital at BM here, and found out those specialists are closed.
We directly drove to Adventist (~50mins drive from our house) for emergency... on our way, we just keep quiet, and not talking to each other... we just holding our hand... and praying inside our heart, hope baby is doing fine!! Never felt the 50mins journey is so long... for us, is about 50hrs! No one cried in the car that time... once we went to register for emergency, once we saw the nurse reaction after knowing that i was bleeding... my tears just falls down non-stop... everyone was so anxious about bleeding, asked me to lie down, dont walk. Just wait for doctor to come. Dr Zovi stayed nearby the hospital, came within 15mins by walking distance.

She did the check up again... in fact, she has forgotten us even we just visited 2 days ago... what a busy doctor nowadays. We were so scared, when she told us "the baby is trying to come out!" After the ultrasound, she told us an even shocking news!! "You got twin!" I just looked at hubby with tears coming out... then she continued "But one already die inside"... she was explaining to us that the die one not successfully developed to fetus since early stage, and now appeared as "empty sac" inside. And the die one wanted to come out... which she will need to prevent this, as scared the live one will come out together.

This is the ultrasound we took during the night of emergency, on 21st Sept. The feeling is so great when you see the baby moving inside, with strong heart beat! At least, he/she make it!

I was then admitted for 2 nights... to observe my condition... given hormone injection to protect the baby, nurse came in every 2hrs to check whether i still bleed... hubby stayed with me whole night too...



After 2 days bed rest in hospital, Dr Zovi scan the baby condition again.
It is 23rd Sept, 2011.
This is the 3rd time we get to see our baby... still kicking his/her leg!
Baby is doing great! Good job!
Dr allowed me to discharge, but need to rest at home with one week MC.

Unfortunately, during my checkup on 2nd Oct, i get bleeding again... this round, Dr Zovi said, the empty sac still stay inside... and this is the root cause for my bleeding. Again, i was given another one more week MC... hubby did the online checking for my condition. For those interested, you can google "vanishing twin" and get more information from there. Just found out that it is actually a very common condition, whereby the most common syndroms including bleeding, uterine cramps, and pelvic pain.

We just hope the surviving twin is doing fine now...
In fact, after this, i just found out how much i love this baby! 我觉得他/她已经和我是一体的,第一次觉得宝宝的重要性!

宝宝,你要好好的,健康的成长哦!我们会一起努力,期待你平平安安的出生!

Yeah~ This is about our BB trip to New York!! Yes, he/she also been visiting NY! Actually we booked the air ticket long time before i get pregnant... so is not the parents too playful... :P

Of course, the trip brought many vomitting as well... in hotel, in plane... this is the last trip we visited during our assignment in US. Just after the trip (2 days), we flew back to Malaysia lo!

Yes, BB even visited Niagara Falls!! 12th Sept, 2011 (BB about 3 months old now)



At Washington DC (13th Sept, 2011)



BB visitng places in US (July & Aug)





Actually when we were in US... visited Intel panel clinic - Dr Fry. She was good, and just did the prelim check up for me. Recommended no need to visit any Gynae in US, since we are going back to Malaysia in Sept... she adviced us to take our first check up back in Malaysia. And re-assure us that we can still take flight.


Well, i think i forgot to mention about the early pregnancy condition.... i have very bad vomitting!! Sometimes can even reach 10 times per day, can you imagine that? Having very bad appetide too... during my 1st 2 months pregnancy, i have lost 2kg weight. :( Really bad huh!




And many people said - our kid should be named as "Chandler" due to made in Chandler. However, we are not sure whether he/she (ya, we dont know is a she or he yet) was made in Chandler or not... most probably made in San Fransisco. :) This baby has visited many places in US together with daddy and mummy. First visit - San Fransisco, Santa Clara, Santa Monica (LA), maybe also visited Universal Studio in CA. Hehe... then in August, we have visited to Miami too!! Mummy dream place! And bringing baby together... of course, not forgetting vomit badly during the trip! In plane! After that, we have been visiting New York, Niagara Falls, and Washington DC!! Yes, baby, you have been there since you are in mummy tummy!!

Welcoming our new member in family

已经好久好久没有来update这个blog了。。。

当然,有好消息啰!

就在7月13日那天 - 地点:美国Chandler apartment...





其实,已经不记得上个月的月经是几号了。。。 但总是想吐,没什么胃口。。。就买了个验孕棒来看看。。。 还记得那时的他,开心到~~~ 但不到一分钟,接着担忧就来了。其实我在5月底时,吃了尿道发炎的antibiotic, 医生吩咐我们在一个月内不可受孕,因为药效极强,会对婴儿不好。接着,当然是回想上个月的月事。。。 上网查看,原来药性在1个星期内就没了。我们就只有听天由命吧!凡是往好的一方面想。 


接着,我们竟然去看婴儿的东西。。 哈哈!他又买了一个验孕棒(7月16日)。。。这个不需去看是否一条横线,直线,或十字线。它会告诉你有了,或没有。。。开心了。。。
