Wake up

My sweet and sour chicken and pork 10/10
My tomato, carrot, fishball Udon soup 6/10

==> My 17 weeks pregnant face.

1. Suddenly I seem to have a feeling that I am waking up... Waking up from my idleness. I guess this should be the peak of my trimester 2. I am less idle now. I seemed to be blinded by my own pregnancy.
   
   I finally made the trip down to Heartland Mall , Perfect Mum to shop for maternity clothes. I have been pushing back to shop for more clothes for the last few weekends. Simply have no energy and mood at all. The salesgirl commented why I never put my make up and lipstick. While I was in the fitting room, I realised how "auntie" and lazy I looked like. My flabby legs (those crumpy cellulite). My fat face.. I have gained 7 kgs over the 4 months. I decided I need to clean myself up, make myself more neat and presentable. In order to motivate myself, I bought a new foundation and nude lipstick from Watsons.
2. Went for a family gathering with Papa Richard and grandma. I finally dolled myself up - I think I start to be more conscious.
3. This morning, I washed and style my hair (finally saw those curls again). I used to bun up my hair like an ah-soh.
4. I started to read more pages of "The road less travelled". Today I read about this topic on "Openess to challenges".
5. I blogged on a blue Monday, instead of pushing back my blogging.
6. Learn how to burn a vcd instead of asking Roland to do for me
7. Learn how to cook more dishes
8. Learn to operate the Selphy 510 and print those photos myself
9. Learn how to bluetooth my files from laptop to phones and phones to laptops

Things that I should look into doing for the next few weeks:

1. Finish "The road less travelled" and started on another book.
2. Find out pre-natal exercises
3. Sign up medical screening for my family
4. Control my eating habits
5. Save more money
6. Blog more
7. Do more housework
8. Learn a few more recipes

My motherly instincts - making food for myself. See photos above.

By the way, the Udon soup and Tomato minced meat bean curd I made yesterday was a total failure (too ashamed to take any photos). But my Roland still finished it.

Lesson learnt: NO PORK next time, it makes the dish smell of pork.

It's a boy!

This is my baby! Currently 16 weeks 4 days old. : ) Look at his neat spine so happy that he looks normal. I mentioned a He because gynae said that most probably is a HE because there is something in between his legs. I was too excited and did not remember. However Roland did see it. So happy...

I called this baby my "Xiao Bao Bei" - My little precious...

XBB's head is 3 cm, head to body is about 9.9 cm . He is well wrapped under my fats, guess this is why he doesn't have enough space to extend his legs. So I cannot really tell how long is he. Well, gynae said that this length is normal.

My due date is still now 1 March 2007. Hopefully he will eta after CNY.
