21jun-27jun
- with mum around, I can have some time to read, source for NB stuff from books, magazines and online, update blog etc and have home-cooked food, and less housework to do
- went back to office to settle application of Maternity Leave matters and UPA leave for 10h-staff retreat on Thur
- to my horror, my office desk was messy with a little eraser dust and stationery here & there, and still some work left 'untouched' inside my briefcase (
my colleagues were afraid to touch my stuff cuz they fear I'd 'eat them up, roar at them if they mess up my desk further?)
- I'd to go to office again, to complete what I'd plan to do (
spent too much time talking about hand-over-work, and haven't enough time to do the important priority No.1)
- I'v only been away for 2mth, leaving the work on the desk (
some have been passed/sent by 'courier') but still haven't been 'touched' and no action taken
- took me ~3x5h to clear the stuff, label accordingly for my 'cover', settle my application for mat leave, claim my medical bill, check/print emails (
for my cover-to-be is unable to access the emails yet)
- finally can 'rest in peace' knowing what had / hadn't been done while I'm still conscious (
Darling helped to complete some work, and passed/courier all my work over)
- went for groceries shopping (
bought yogurt, organic apples, lettuce, bread, buns etc all on promotion except the bread) to last till the next shopping 5 days later
- with the baby cot delivered, there's one less thing to shop for (
others feeding, toiletries, baby care eg. diapers & bag, changing mat etc and stroller, carrier etc)
- Darling and I have to think more than twice before deciding to make any purchase, esp when there're so many to buy, so many places available, every cent counts (
same product may cost 10-20% less if on promo or purchased online)
- GSS is coming to an end, with some stalls having promo till end Jun ie this is the last weekend shopping for our NB
- my feet both swollen for the past few days, with the right more swollen, but without pain, only my back ache (
probably from past injury or standing/walking for hours or the side effects of Keppra - the anti fits medication)
- having runny nose most of the mornings since last week (
the weather has turned cold and raining in the early mornings) or could be due to the spread of 'germs' while outside, or my weak immune system now
- gg to GP for MC next week, and gynae consultation (
should be able to get MC till mat leave in Aug) with pa accompanying
- little one has been tossing-turning more these days, and with more strength (
hope to gain 1-2kg these past 3 weeks so for this final trimester can gain 5kg as I've only gained 0.5kg so far)
- still thinking of what to name our son, so many babies' names have been used by people around us...something that is unique, easy to say and write, and meaningful...
- on Sat night, the whole right foot was so swollen, even veins were visible near the front (
towards the last toe)
- Darling and I were doing budgeting and simple living for our small household with 1 child on the way may cost us $60k/yr
- these few days feel hungry every & 2h, and should have gained abit weight
- went to compare prices of bb wipes, milk bottles etc
