13jun - 19jun

- went for post-AVM check-up w hubby while mum ma bbsat TK
- have to finalise the itinerary for tomorrow's trip
- searched online for info and it's done by 230p (thanks to ma who bbsat tk while i worked on the computer in between preparing for dinner, warming up the food for lunch, making milk for TK, updating my blogs and checking emails)
- leaving after ma bathed TK
- took the free shuttle bus to the hospital and took a ride to City Square Mall - City Square Mall - Singapore's First Eco-Mall
- dozed off during the short journey and the elderly lady sitting beside me woke me up
- hubby treated me to beancurd and soya drink while waiting at the pharmacy (took 1 mth of med instead of 3m as I'd be gg for next med appt w doc)
- made first part of dinner and hubby finished the rest to whip up yummy dinner
- pa came to join us and he too enjoyed the dinner
- pa took TK for a stroll and as usual TK look left look right and seemed curious and excited at everything
- hubby applied the lotion to my back for muscle pain relief and it felt so wonderful (both the effectiveness of lotion and wonders of the touch of the index fingertip)
- successfully pee TK in the toilet for 3 times in total

- gg to the Zoological Gardens for the first time w family (had been there several years ago for work purpose)
- stayed awake after TK's night feeding at 326a

Motherhood exhibition 2011 is back!

This will be the first Motherhood exhibition for me, and hubby and TK..we didn't manage to go last year, as I was recovering from AVM surgery and probably missed it.

This time, I'm definitely gg to mark this dates and drag mum and hubby along.

33rd week of motherhood

18apr - 24apr

- 1st time I rushed to fetch TK & looked after myself and TK after work while Dardy OT
- had to juggle unpacking TK's belongings and soiled clothes, feeding TK, preparing simple dinner for myself, and SMSing some of the stake-holders etc
- TK likes to be carried at this time of the day (maybe he missed us the whole day, or maybe he's hungry but is contented when carried)
- I took my shower only when Dardy came back at 10p, but I was really feeling bagus though tired is an understatement, I must say I slept really soundly for the first few hours (eg. I couldn't get up if TK is crying at 11plus or 1plus in the morning)
- went groceries shopping w Pa and spent over S$34 after early lunch S$6.90
- bought some veg buns, tissue, carrots, pasta, noodles, bread etc
- tissue 2-ply refill pack 4x 200's sold at S$5.95 for 2 (UP$7.10)
- total savings (BYOB, 2% elderly discounts, HB discount and offer) is S$7.10
- in other words, we lunched for free 免费午餐(and still get linkpoints and S$0.20 left)

- took TK to see doc for runny nose and coughing w phlegm (for several days already)
- had lunch w Dardy and went to work (had a lesson to view at 130p)
- almost dozed off to sleep and fell off the sleep (and with mouth wide open faced upwards -- so unsightly)
-

- 1st Anniversary of my AVM incident (coincides with Earth Day)
- received the rejection letter of appeal of my hospitalisation insurance in Feb

- gg to spend Good Friday at Baby Expo with TK and Dardy and maybe Grandmum
- had been a peaceful year with min emo outburst (the second latest was 32 days ago) and felt uncomfortable with much more painful headache, feeling nauseous, chest tightness (couldn't take deep breath)好吓人！我心想：难道命中注定我的寿命如此短暂？
- went to see doc 10 days later (the latest was 23 days ago still not feeling well) and was 'scolded' by the doc on relief who insisted I had to go to A&E

- all the while I was reminded to constantly hydrate esp when I'm currently on medication
