All baby products were on sale last week and I handed over a shopping list to Aunt Alicia who offered to do the shopping for me. I am getting the usual stuff ready for a newborn – infant glass bottles, rubber mat, newborn diapers, safety pins, newborn clothings and the list goes on and on. Saves me a ton buying them at a sale with discounts up to 70%.

According to my glucose meter readings measured yesterday, I’m doing quite well. I did my best to refrain from sweets, chocolates, ice creams, mooncakes, cakes and it’s paying off. My sugar level is normal. With this glucose meter report card, I went to my OB this morning for my weekly appointment. My OB of couse, says I still need to stay away from sugar laden food until the baby is delivered.
Baby was awake and fairly active during ultrasound scanning this morning. I could see his head moving and turning, pressing against my pelvic. Each time he does that, I feel an uncomfortable sensation around my bladder region. A sensation I’ve been feeling for more than a week now. Now, I know what he’s actually doing to make me feel that way.
His weight is around 6 pounds now. Slightly less than average size according to the scanner’s chart. Clarisse’s weight was an ounce below 6 pounds when she was born. Baby brother may just be a little bit heavier at birth I suppose.
My OB says he’s not yet fully engaged but very close. I asked if I could have an induced labor next week, at 38 weeks gestation just like Clarisse. He suggested why the hurry since according to his scans, the baby is healthy and doing fine. Truth be told, I’m just so tired of being physically exhausted and uncomfortable all the time. And my skin is starting to itch real bad. My stomach has been itching badly for nearly 3 months now and I tell you, with the horrid stretch marks, bruises and scars, my tummy looks like a warzone.
Anyway, my OB will evaluate my situation on a weekly basis from now and decide the best course of action for me.

I went to see my OB yesterday for my regular scanning and checkup. For the past 2 months my appointments were on a 2-weeks basis but as I’m now in my final month of pregnancy, I’m scheduled for weekly checkups from now.
The day before my appointment, I had to take 3 glucometer readings before meals as instructed by my OB. My sugar level in my blood and urine tested normal. It means my sugar level can be controlled by maintaining a diet of less carbs and sugary stuff, much to my relieve.
Baby is doing fine. I complained about sensations of menstrual pain occasionally. My OB says this is normal and are signs of the baby engaging. Baby’s weight is 2.6kg which is average according to the charts. Everything’s normal, thank god.
As for me, I’m really feeling the strain in the final month of pregnancy. My back and hips hurts especially after sitting or lying down for a while. My bladder feel like bursting sometimes. Not to mention the occasional uncomfortable bloating in my tummy. I’m also feeling hot all the time. It was usual for my husband to complain feeling warm in an air-conditioned room but these days I’m the one doing so.

The old kitchen faucets in my house are fabulous. By the looks of it, I’m guessing these old Kohler faucets were installed back in the 80’s when my aunt and uncle still lives here. Although the shine of these kitchen faucets are long gone, they are still functioning as well as new. That’s hard to beat for value of money. I wonder how much Kohler stuff cost 25 years ago. They are fairly expensive but you pay for is aesthetics, quality, durability and reliability.

Raja Petra Kamaruddin is back with a vengeance. He may be a fugitive. His whereabouts unknown. But his impact and influence can be felt even so.
RPK is hitting back with a series of video interviews. First of the series is about selective prosecution. Again focussing on the issue of Altantuya Sharibuu.
Even with a lawful statutory declaration on Rosmah and several individuals involved in the murder of Altantuya Sharibuu, the police refuse to investigate. Instead, the police declared the SD as false and tries to prosecute RPK for publishing the false SD.
On the other hand, when it comes to petty issues involving opposition, the police is very quick to investigate. And in Teoh Beng Hock’s case, god knows what happened at MACC for him to end up falling off the 14th floor.

I’ve put on a lot of weight during the course of this pregnancy. I’m hovering around 74kg for the past few weeks. Needless to say I’m going to put in some extra effort to lose the pounds I’ve piled on. Breastfeeding is one surefire way to do just that and you better believe it. In my case, I was amazed at the weight loss effect it had on me two years ago when I was breastfeeding Clarisse. I barely had time to exercise but the weight kept shedding. So you bet I’m going to breastfeed her lil’ brother too. Do you any quick weight loss tips to share?
