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!

28 weeks checkup

Today daddy mummy woke up very early around 6 plus just to get ready to the hospital for mummy's glucose test. However, they didn't know that mummy need to fast before the blood test. Thus, mummy took half a cup of milk before going to the hospital and the test cannot be proceed. They were so unhappy that their midwife didn't inform them the procedure before the test. They had to wait for another 1 hour for the checkup appointment in the hospital. Since they were here one hour earlier, they were the first to see the midwife when the clinic opened!

The midwife Jessica checked up mummy's blood pressure, my size and heartbeat. Everything went well. Fundal height is 28cm. Jessica said it is a good size. For 28 weeks pregnancy (actually should be end of 28 weeks), the measurement is around 27-31cm. I am growing well. My position is head down now and my back is facing the same side as mummy's back. When Jessica tried to hear my heart beat using her monitor, I kicked the monitor away! Midwife, dad and mum were laughing when they saw that happen. Mummy thought it could be I know that Jessica was pointing on my feet then my heart.

Mummy has to go back to the hospital for the glucose test again on Monday. Then in 3 weeks time, we will see the doctor for futher checkup.

My Baby Wardrobe

Daddy mummy received a lot of past down clothes, new clothes from aunties uncles for me, of course also some clothes that they bought for me. Therefore, they decided to start putting these clothes into my wardrobe. They spent a few days washing all my clothes, sorting them out according to the size and finally they managed to arrange the clothes properly into my wardrobe. Daddy mummy even went to IKEA to buy some hungers for me, and also clothes organiser and laundry bag. Daddy said I have too many clothes, more than the combination of mummy and his clothes. This is how BLESSING I am!!!



Isn't it a lot?? There are more to come when kong kong po po, kao fu and ah ma come over!! The middle rack is full of all my sleeping and going out clothes. The lower rack is for my bibs, hats, shoes, shocks, mittens, booties and other accessories. The next wardrobe is for my pretty dresses and cardigan. Are you jealous??!!!

Maternity Shopping

Mummy's company required them to wear formal working clothes, however, now because I am growing, mummy no longer can wear her working clothes. So today daddy and mummy went out from morning till evening hunting for mummy's working clothes. After visiting a few maternity shops, daddy mummy ended up at one of the maternity warehouse near the city called Pea in a Pod recommended by one of the lady that mummy met today.

It is indeed a maternity wear warehouse, with huge range of maternity wear (the biggest mummy ever saw in Melbourne). Mummy was so happy to see a lot of clothes and bottom for just $5 under clearance and samples section!!!!! After browsing through the shop for close to 2 hours, mummy managed to get 2 working tops, 1 working pants, 1 working shirt and 1 casual shirt, for just $5 per piece (one or two within $20 as well)!! Mummy said today is the happiest shopping day for her - able to get the clothes she needs in such a good price. Daddy mummy thank God for such a blessing.

For those mummies to be in Melbourne, mummy strongly recommended this shop "Pea in a Pod". The one in Collingwood has the biggest range of clothes from clearance, sample to new arrival. Mummy said this can help a lot of mummies to be saving lots of expenses on maternity clothes.

Home sweet home

Yes, we are back from New Zealand after 3 weeks travelling there. We all miss our home and bed so much!! Here are some updates of our wonderful trip in New Zealand.

We spent around 7 days in North island and the rest of 13 days in South island. There were a lot a lot of driving during the trip. Mummy and I were just sleeping throughout the journey, and daddy had to do all the driving. Thank you daddy!!

In North Island we had the opportunity to visit Cathedral Cove wear Prince Caspian's movie was shot, the beautiful bay of island - hole in the rock and nice mountain along the way. We even get to see some wild dolphins too! Oh yeah, we also visited the natural thermal village to see the Geyser!

Cathedral Cove Hole in the Rock

Fohutu Geyser

We spent most of our time at South Island because there were a lot a lot of things and nice scenery there. There are a lot of nice glaciers there - Mt Cook, Fox Glacier, Franz Josef Galcier. Daddy mummy even took me to the glacier with helicopter! We also visited historical town - Dunedin, beautiful Queenstown, and garden city Christchurch. Of course we did not miss out the beautiful Milford Sound as well.

We had a great time travelling together. I keep kicking mummy whenever I was excited and during meal time (I am a growing girl). Daddy mummy said I am a very blessed girl, even before I am born I already have to chance to travel by air, by cruise, boat, train, tram and even helicopter!!! They plan to bring me back to New Zealand when I grow up in few years time!

New Zealand Holiday

Daddy mummy and I are in New Zealand for 3 weeks holiday now.
So far we enjoy ourselves apart from the long hour travelling and fish & chips (so sick of this food!!!) I am growing, starting to turn and twist in mummy's womb to find the nice position for me to sleep. I also play hide and seek with daddy now. Whenever daddy touched mummy's tummy to feel my movement, I will not kick but when he moved away I will kick. Hehehe.

Will update more of our trip when we get back to Melbourne.
