Happy 30th weeks to BB Eden - late post

Finally , BB Eden hit the 30th weeks! 2 more weeks and he's entering his 8 months in my tummy! Time flies real soon!
He's growing well and fast. I can feel my tummy becomes harden and heavy. Especially when climbing up the stairs. Feel so exhausted but that doesn't stop me from climbing up and down the stairs.

His eyelashes, hair and eye brow are now fully grown. Able to responds to lights and almost all the major organs are functioning now.

I can feel BB Eden is getting more and more active each day. Now, he will be kicking , moving and poking me every day. Especially the nights, without his favourite nursery songs on while sleeping, he will be throwing tantrums. Kicking and poking me, feels like he's telling me that he wants to hear music to sleep or else, he just makes me goes tossing and turning on bed. So naughty! He just don't bother about what I said and even when I said " mommy is angry if you are not going to sleep! Mommy is so tired already and I'm so gonna whack your butt if you not going to sleep!" BB Eden still! Wants his music on then he will get into sleep obediently.

BB Eden likes:
Moving around a lot during daytime due to lights.
Sleeps only when his favourite nursery CD is played.
Toss around to find his most suitable position.
Moves when I eat the food/fruits that I loves.
When daddy caress him and talks to him.

BB Eden dislikes: 
Sleeping without his favourite nursery songs.
when I neglect him too much by playing long hours of games on computers. moving/poking/kicking/elbow jab me.
when my sitting/sleeping position restrict his space inside my tummy. He will protest by kicking and elbow jab my tummy.

Went for my prenatal massage yesterday with the accompany of babyhubby. Finally reserve a therapist that I enjoy so much with her massage skill and chats. She taught me a lot and have good massage skill. She manage to capture all my acupuncture points. Left 2 more weeks to my 8th months means left 2 more sessions of massage before I need to stop my prenatal massage.

My precious cute little mini Eden, please don't keep throwing tantrums. I know you are a very particular baby but please be good boy. Mommy will be very happy if you listen to me and be a good obedient boy boy.

Tuesday, we went to HDB hub to check out the new BTO flats at Sengkang and it's showroom. The design were beautiful and the whole house looks cosy. We thought the surroundings and the house were convenient & beautiful so decided not to waste more time and just try our luck applying it. Hopefully we can get selected.

Babyhubby's 3 off days *poofff!~* gone so fast! *Humpppfff~*
I wish he had more off days but I'm just dreaming. He needs to work for our future.
Poor babyhubby had a very very serious ingrown nails which is making both of his big toes swollen and infection but yet he still have to wear covered shoes daily for work.
His nails is so thick and cuts in so deep into his flesh. I wanted to help him cut but it's simply too painful for him to go on. Now only can wash and apply the creams that Dr gave him, see whether it get's better.

My cute little niece. :D

My big tummy with BB Eden!

Can you see the different?

This one more obvious.

Finally I took pictures my cute little niece.!

Changing diapers.

I said :" Twist! And she twist like this! AWWWW!~ Baby Cryst and my brother.

Happily munching the cereal biscuits before dinner arrives.

And she shared some with her daddy who is my brother.

There's one point of time , she just stuffed the whole cereal biscuit into her mouth just to keep her hands free.

Then she started playing with the bowl and spoon.

After dinner, we went back home and it's time for baby cryst to have her shower before she head home for her sweet dreams. She's adorable is she?!

Times up for bed! She's sucking her fingers already.

Happy 29 weeks to Lil Eden!

our baby's head is getting bigger, and brain growth is very rapid at this time. Nearly all babies react to sound by 30 weeks.

Your baby's nutritional needs reach their peak during the third trimester. You'll need plenty of protein, vitamin C, folic acid, iron, and calcium (about 200 milligrams is deposited in your baby's skeleton every day), so eat foods rich in these nutrients. The skeleton hardens even more and the brain, muscles, and lungs continue to mature.

Click to see Video of 28-37weeks pregnancy

You and your baby are beginning your last trimester together. At 28 weeks, your baby weighs just over 1kg (2lb). He'll more than triple his weight between now and birth, and build a layer of fat that will help keep him warm outside the womb.

Your baby's skeleton is hardening. The bones in his head have not yet fused together, which will allow them to slightly overlap as his head passes through the snug space of the birth canal.

Billions of neurons have developed and are firing in your baby's brain, creating essential connections that will help him learn in and outside the womb.

Your baby can open his eyes now and see the light that filters through your womb. He can hear, too, so go ahead and talk or sing to your baby.

As your due date nears, your baby will shed small bits of vernix caseosa, the white "cheesy" substance that covers his entire body and protects his skin from the amniotic fluid he's floating in. Your baby swallows some of these bits, along with other secretions, which pass through his digestive system to become his first bowel movement.


My lovely lil BB Eden is now 29 weeks.
One more weeks to go and he will be hitting his first 30 weeks.
Way to go BB Eden!! Mommy is here to accompany you throughout all this stages. Don't be afraid and feel insecure.
BB Eden is getting more kicks and movements nowadays. Mommy can sense that you are really growing bigger inside.
Though BB Eden move more often, It's not painful yet and I'm still glad to feel every of his movement letting me know he's actively growing in my tummy.
BB Eden , mommy loves you more than anything to sacrifices anything just for you to grow healthy.

Personal jokes 
Was chatting with my mommy while on bro's car yesterday.

I said: " Mommy! Why your top part of teeth so lousy? All fake only left 4 real tooth? 啊姆（aunty) 60 years old already , her teeth are all still real and strong."   ( for your info, my mommy dropped another teeth while biting the coconut flesh from its shell.)

Mommy replied: " give birth the three of you lo, suck away all my calcium make my teeth so weak."

I said: "啊姆 also give birth three children! What's the different?"

Mommy anxiously replied: " HELLO!! When she give birth, all her babies are very small in size ok! I was around when she gave birth! I gave birth the three of you like MONSTERS! All at least 3kgs. Awhile "mommy I want milo! " awhile" mommy I want kopi!" Your kor kor worst! I once not at home , he took the milo tin and finished all the milo powder inside. NOT use drink but use EAT wan! "

After mommy made this comment we burst into laughter. Esp me! Cause I contributed in eating up the milo powder as well!! HAHAHA! But it's true, many pregnant women get weaker teeth after giving birth.


Before I end my post, I would like to Congrates all the brave mommies who have been struggling throughout the 9months plus to see the arrival of their babies!

Congratulations! 

Mommy Alicia -Oct
Mommy Fiona - 17 Oct
Mommy Stephanie - 18 Oct

Gynae visit.

Thursday 14 oct went to visit Dr Lim. He explained further to me on how baby will be coming out and contractions then continued with scanning.

Lil BB Eden is very naughty. Keep moving around when Dr Lim is doing the scanning then suddenly, he kicked directly at the scanner!! Hohoho! We all shocked by his actions. He keep kicking, don't know is excited or what. Hmm.. you ahh.. this lil naughty boy! Think he really hate it when doctor is rolling the scanner around my tummy.

Dr Lim asked me if I have come out with BB name already. As when I told him "His name is Eden!" Dr Lim just nice scanning his heartbeat and made a remarked " I think BB Eden is angry cause his heartbeat is beating very fast and he seems agitated and frustrated as he keep moving.

Overall , BB Eden is doing well in my tummy. The amnotic fluid inside the water bag is sufficient for him. Just that Dr had advised me not to take in too much sugar intake as he afraid BB Eden might grow too big for natural delivery when near to his EDD.

OHH! So cute my lil bb Eden! However, my BB Eden , you must be patience ok? Cannot be like these so naughty huh? Don't be so bad-tempered and impatience in the future alright? Mommy will love you and teach you good. Give you all mommy can give so you must learn how to be 知足 in the future k.

Happy 28 weeks aka 7 month to BB Eden.!

BB Eden big big lo!!

I have one big stretch mark on my tummy already! ):

Happy 27th weeks to BB Eden. He's getting crowded and less gymnastic movements but more of the kicks and elbow jabs.! No wonder he's moving more and more vigorously and I gained another 2 kg in 28 weeks. Now I'm weighing 59.5kg already! So heavy!

Symptoms that I'm suffering now are:
Backaches
Insomnia
Frequent toilet trips
Heart-burns
Fatigue

your baby’s changes this week

• Your baby continues to take practice breaths this week, breathing amniotic fluid in and out of its lungs and swallowing it as well. It can also suck, blink, roll, kick, grasp and hiccup.

• More REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep in week 28, which is so important for your baby’s brain. Studies have shown that newborns spend a large portion of their time in REM sleep as well, so your little one is getting in lots of practice beforehand.

• Your baby’s brain is changing from being soft and smoothly rounded to having the familiar grooves and indentations on its surface.

• This week your baby’s hair may be going through a growing phase. Some babies are born bald or with fine, almost invisible hair on their head. Others are born with a thatch of hair.
  

hints for the week

• If you find yourself rushing to the toilet every five minutes just sit tight. Chances are this is because the baby is lying in a particularly prominent position on top of your bladder. Try lying on your side to see if this prompts it to move into another position.

• Watch that indigestion and heartburn. Antacids may have replaced jelly babies as your favourite lollies and you’ve got packets of them stashed in every bag and drawer.
  

• Ease that back pain by doing strengthening exercises. Check with an obstetric physiotherapist about how you can target the muscles and joints which are causing you grief.

• Book a holiday. Now is the time to think about organising some time away before the baby is born. Having a break between leaving work and your due date can be incredibly restorative and help remind you of the important things in life.
  

I believe more to come soon as I proceed to my 3rd trimester now. BB Eden is getting more active during mid-nights than daytime. Aww~ Opposite! During the day, I'm always wanting to play with him but he's so calm and relax , doesn't want to care about me this mommy! Humpf! When night time, he's so naughty. Keep kicking me so hard and it scares me at times when I'm falling asleep soon.

Went out my aunty, mommy, babbyhubby, cousin and her family for shopping on Sunday.

Bought a bag at Isetan. This bag have a lot compartments and is very light. Unlike my other bag, once it's loaded it's so heavy including the weight of the bag. This bag cost $56. Same as the one my cousin using now.



Bought the nursing pad in offer price at kiddy palace and 2 powder holder.
Mommies, if you noticed you have leakage of pre-milk, you can get the nursing pad to prevent it stains onto your clothes and bed sheets. You also will need it if you are breastfeeding after birth as it will leak too.
When buying powder holder make sure you get those inside include a net want is better because the powder sponge will take up a lot powder while dabbing. With the net, you wont waste too much powder while using it.


I also bought this in offer price from Kiddy palace. My cousin said that if normally offer price is around this price, the baby expo will probably be having this price as well so there's no need to wait for further comparison. There will be exactly many same brand appear in the baby expo too.

It comes with the whole pack includes the steriliser, 2small milk bottles, a teething toy, a water-drinking bottle and a pair of pacifier.

the steriliser

2small milk bottles, a teething toy, a water-drinking bottle and a pair of pacifier.

Total cost after offer. Without offer, just the steriliser only costs $149. There's 2 types of steriliser. Digital and Electric. Digital is more expensive and the steriliser last longer hours after sterilise but I think the electric one is good enough. Lasted 6 hours.

As for the pram, we decided not to buy first. Not in a rush for it yet. Cause newborn baby have to be carried in arms first, cannot put in pram as they are too small and they cannot adjust their head themselves. Moreover, my cousin may want to give me pram probably later after BB Eden 1 month.

Don't wanna spend things on some of the unnecessarily stuffs. We shall gather all the money for any further use or needs. The rest of the necessarily things not yet gather will be left till baby expo then buy.
