Amidst all these, I still have to move to my new place. Yeah.......cos my sis and nephew is in town and they need a room to stay. Hehehehe. Well, it is a good chance for me to arrange my stuff. Cos I had no time or enerygy to sort out the stuff in the new place before baby comes. Also, 90% of my curtains are finally up. Thank goodness.......really, it feels more liveable now and I dun have to worry about our neighbours looking in to see what we are doing. That is the problem with living on the 2nd storey and there is another block of apartment in front of your condo.
I also cooked breakfast on Saturday. Kept wanting to make baked rice like the ones sold in HK Cafe. It is so expensive too. Imagine, being able to make it myself. Hehehe. Anyways, I made a Yin Yang Baked Rice, seafood with white sauce and pork chop with tomato sauce. I am glad to say that it tastes nice so no more HK Cafe for me when I have a craving.

Had my third leg cramp last night. Dear me, so painful. It is probably my fault too. With the whirlwind of activities, I have been waking up real early and sleeping real late at night. It is fatigue plus dehydration and lack of exercise. Yeah, I have not been practising my antenaetal exercises these few days.
I learnt them in antenaetal class and I find that the exercises help to relief some of the aches and pains you get during pregnancy and also help with fatigue. The teacher Mrs. Wong also teaches you how to communicate with the baby. Not quite sure if it works but well, its fun anyways.
Last week, we saw many actual births on TV of ang moh women, of course. I think Asian women are more reserved thus more unlikely to volunteer to have their births shown to the masses. It is indeed quite scary and intimidating to watch the births. Women who undergo labour seems to be quite out of their usual minds and tend to be really unsightly. I hope that I do not look so unsightly during labour. Imgine how your sexy meter drops a huge notch when your husband watches you during labour. I shudder to imagine.
Whie we were attending the pregnancy seminar in church, we actually met a fellow Alpha Course facilitator who was there with his wife. No one knew that they were expecting and that was because they really did not want people to know, even their family members. Why? Well, because they were not planning for this baby and when his wife was in her early pregnancy, she took some medication which were supposedly really harmful for baby and might cause serious mental or physical birth defects. They must be so strong to be able to withstand this kinda news and continue with the pregnancy. Reason why they did not tell their families is that they are waiting for the 5th month detailed scan to confirm whether their babies have any pysical defect even though they can never be 100% of any mental defect until their baby is born.
This is really sad news and I have been praying for them these couple of days. I just pray that their faith will be strong enough to pull them through and that God will give them guidance and a sign to continue with the pregnancy. It is true that we can do all things through His strength but we do need the right amount of faith to pull through.
