Mummy is satisfied

Mummy has been craving for her Penang apom manis since half a year ago but not only she can't find it here, she can't even find a recipe in the internet. Today, while surfing the net, mummy came across a web site with apom manis recipe!! She was thrilled and decided to try making apom manis for dinner.

The result : very good. The taste is very similar with the one she had in Penang. Now she finally feel satisfy and I was being introduced to her favourite apom manis too!

This is the home made apom manis by mummy - big version as she does not have a small pan to do it.

Getting ready....

13 more days to go before mummy reach 40 weeks of pregnancy! Daddy mummy trying to make sure that all the stuffs needed for my arrival have been prepared:

1. Bag of nappies, clothes, bunny rugs, mittens for me in the hospital - CHECK
2. Labour bag for mommy - 95%, pending toiletries
3. Baby car seat and sun shade fix in the car - CHECK
4. Bassinet and bathtub at home - CHECK
5. Breastfeeding bras, pads, pump - CHECK
6. My name - 50%, pending English name. They are still deciding!!! I hope they are able to figure out what name to give me before they have to register me with the birth department
7. Pram - shipment delay! They can only get it early April but I don't really need it that soon.

Daddy mummy even change their favourite wool rug in the living room to a synthetic rug because the wool rug shed. Mummy said it is not good for my health.

So when will God bring me out from mummy's womb to this world?

Three rockers just for me!!

Daddy mummy think I am such a blessed baby. Even before I am born, I already got three rockers waiting for me!!! Mummy got the first rocker from her HR manager few months ago. Even thought it is a 8 year old rocker but it still serve it's purpose. Last week, daddy mummy went to collect some baby stuffs from Auntie Doreen, she passed them a musical rocker as well!! This rocker is more advance with music and rotating soft toys for me to see when I lay down on the rocker. Then daddy mummy went to uncle Mike & auntie Rach's house for LG, they passed them another musical rocker!!! This one is even more advance, can vibrant, have music and when I kick my leg the light and toys hunging will bling and move!!!! Mummy thought I don't really need that many rockers, but Auntie Rach told mummy to keep all the rockers, put them at the different area of the house. She said I will get bored very easily with the same rocker, at least now mummy can laying on the different one to keep my occupy. I am so blessed, don't you think?

Thank you all the aunties for the rockers!! Muck muck!

37 weeks and counting down...

Mummy is 37 weeks pregnant now, means I am 36 weeks old in mummy's tummy. Mummy went for doctor checking in the hospital today. Doc said I am growing within my range, Fundal height is 35cm , heartbeat sounds health and mummy's blood pressure is fine as well. Doctor told mummy that I am facing downward, my back now turning towards mummy's left, but I am still quite high up, not very low at mummy's pelvis, and my butt top always pressing on mummy's stomach, make her feels very uncomfortable and she even lost appetite to eat. Mummy starts to have swollen hands and some of her fingers cannot move well. She is getting harder to sleep as well because I am getting bigger and she feels the pain in her tummy when she can't find a good position on the bed. Other than that, we are doing fine!

Yesterday daddy mummy placed a mattress protector on the bed so that if mummy's water break, it won't wet the whole mattress. They are preparing for me to come out and see the world anytime from now on! Do you think I will look like daddy or mummy?

Baby Shower

Auntie Angie helped mummy to organise a baby shower today! All mummy's girl friends around have been invited to attend this party. Well, basically this is a party where mummy and her girl friends get together for fun time before I am born and also a party to shower me with lots and lots of gifts!!!

Mummy and I enjoyed the party very much. Mummy enjoyed a good brunch in the restaurant and good fellowship with her girl friends. They even played games during the party! Mummy is very thankful to all the aunties that spare their precious time to come and celebrate with her, and also their blessing with the gifts for me. Thank you aunties, I love all your gifts and thank you for making mummy so happy!

These are my gifts from the aunties!!!

Tallboy

Mummy has been searching hi and low in the ebay, looking around in salvo, furniture shops and even scouting at the throwed out furnitures along the street, yet they still can't spot one good and reasonable tallboy for my room. The tallboy sells in the furniture shops is at least $160 or not. Mummy tried to place a bid in the ebay for a few tallboys but never manage to win one bid (she just wonder are the sellers in the ebay playing tricks to get higher price for their goods?). After 2 weeks of searching, mummy finally saw a very good value buy at Sam's warehouse under their receivership sales . They are selling the 5 chest drawers for only $59, 50% off!!!

The next day, daddy rushed straight to the shop during his lunch time to grap the tallboy (they are being "kiasu", worry that it will run out of stock). After work, daddy spent the whole evening fixing up the tallboy for me. Now they can put the room thermometer, photo grame and sound monitor on top of the tallboy for me. Of course there are more drawers for them to put my stuffs as well. That's another blessing from God for me!!

My baby room

It is less than 2 months to go for my arrival, thus daddy mummy decided to spare their time no matter what to start setting up my room for me.

They did a little deco. on the wall with the pooh bear stickers for my room. Then daddy moved the double bed out from the room to get ready for my baby cot and changing table.

As they are still waiting for Auntie Margaret to pass them the baby cot and changing table, they set up the bassinet that Auntie Rachel lend to them just in case the baby cot arrive later than my arrival.

Here's the look of my room currently. Pretty plain and empty. But after the cot and changing table come, definately will be very pack. I love my pooh bear wall though!
