Sick little boy..

My little poor nephew is sick..

Little Nicholas is sick.. he is down with a flu that has been pass down from his parents.. his nose is block and as little baby, he does not know how to blow out the mucus.. He need more attention coz he is not feeling well.. and he has slight colic.. poor little boy.. This week has been busy for me so i only got to see him today... so happy to see him.. hee..

He is now the sunshine of my family.. hee.. but i think with a new baby at home, my mummy and my sister is busy coping with him... haha.. this one month plus with the addition of Nicholas in my family make me realise that having a kid is not as easy as it seems to be..

My son will be out in abt 3 mths plus time... i am a little worried abt being a good mother and giving the best for my son but in the mean time not spoiling him and teaching the right value and moral to him.. :)

Oh.. I have collected some clothes for my boy from my sister in law there are still some stuffs that she is going to pass to me.. my baby is a lucky boy... he has alot of stuffs from Nicholas and Vernice... I am sure he will feel all these love from the cousins... :)

A more gracious society...

I remembered the speech by prime minister during his national day rally.. not on maternity leave issue.. but on being a more gracious society... recently, i realise how this is true..

When i stand on the bus or MRT with my little tummy, even though most other people can see me pregnant, no one bother to stand up and give up the seat for me.. some who does not have a seat like me will also snatch for seat from me... not that i really want the seat.... but i really dun understand how come all these people can really ignore a pregnant lady standing in front of them... Dun they have a conscious and graciously give up the seat for me or any other pregnant lady... there are of coz some time when there are really nice people who give up the seat to me.. but these occasions are not that common.. most of the time i dun get a seat...

Maybe I shld be learn from my ex-colleauge or an Ang mo that i have seen before.. They will walk to someone sitting down and point to their tummy and request them to give up the seat... haha.. but i consider myself someone who does not have such a thick skin.. hee.. so i guess i can only wait for Singaporean to learn to be more gracious..

Unfair Treatment

There is a very obvious unfair treatment in my office...

 

Remember my colleague who was pregnant with triplets? When she was pregnant everyone was so anxious abt her.. when she work late pple will volunteer to help her buy food and also help her carry her things down to her hubby's car when she need to carry some heavy stuffs... normally she dun have to work late..some time when work is too tedious for her she will ask our manager if she could get the senior executive to help so that she can go home on time..

 

I am the next in my department who is pregnant... yet i didnt get as much special treatment... beside closing when we all got to work late, i will try to go home on time or latest by 7.. However, when i work late, no one will ever ask if i need anything to eat or if i needed them to help me get food... Not that i needed special treatment but i just didnt expect things to be so unfair..

 

We are currently having lots of audit... my senior will pass some files to the auditors for their review.. but the thing is after she take out the files for the auditors, when the auditors returned the files to us, she will happily put the files at my place and require me to put them back into the cupbords for her!!! Wei!! cant u see that i am carrying a small little tummy!! argh!!!

 

Anyway lucky that i have other considerate colleagues who help me back with the filing upon seeing me carry heavy files... sigh i guess unfair treatment are everywhere but i just need a place to vent my frustration..

 

 

Updates...

Yesterday I just went for Baby Goh's regular checkup.. Baby Goh is growing well... Still my gynea couldn't see the sex of baby goh yet.. haha.. Baby Goh has not been co-operative.. anyway gynea insisted that it was still early.. probably the next check up 3 weeks later, we will be able to know Baby Goh's sex.. hee..hee..

 

I was not feeling very well recently.. vomit quite alot.. On Monday, vomitted my dinner into the sink when i reach home.. Tuesday before Baby Goh's check up, i vomit just before i step out of the house.. After work i went to the ladies and vomit also.. When i reach mummy's place, i also vomited quite alot... then no appetite for dinner.. but i still manage to eat some dinner before dear pick me up early so that i can rest early.. but when i reach home, i vomit most of my dinner into the sink again.. arghh.. I feel kind of weak and really no energy after vomitting so i head to the bed once i finish bathing...

 

Today, i have some work to clear and tomolo i will be on a course so i need to clear my work.. Today hopefully can go home early and rest..

 

Baby Nicholas

Baby Nicholas is out!! After much anticipation, baby nicholas finally have his first cry at Thomson Medical Center.. After almost 12hrs of labour pain, my sister manage to push Nicholas out.. That is why pple always say mothers are the greatest.. I cant imagine going thru 12hrs of labour...

On Sat 2 am, i receive a sms from my sister that she is on her way to hospital.. I called my sister when i first recieve the msg.. she sound in pain...Oh well.. there is nothing much i can do to help her reduce the pain.. so i just tell her to update me again.. Not sure y cant sleep well for the whole night.. probably was anxious.. haha... First thing i woke up at 8+ i called my sister.. she told me at 6+ she cant tolerate the pain thus she took epidural to relief the pain... she also told me that her doc predict her time of delivery to be 1pm.. so she told me not to go to the hospital so early.. then i called my mum.. she is already at the market buying stuff for my sister to do her confinement.. haha.. she told me my sister called at 6+ and then she cant sleep.. she change my sister bedsheet so that my sister can come home to a comfy bed.. haahaa..

Well i waited for a long time and there was still no news that Nicholas has pop.. finally at abt 12 i called Robin (my brother in law) and he say that Nichloas is out!!! haha.. so excited.. i called my mum and we decided to let my sister rest a while before visiting her at 3+...

Today, both mother and baby are resting at my mum's place.. they will be there for a month coz my mum is doing confinement for my sister.. here is a photo of me and baby Nicholas..

Tired week

The past week has been a tired week...

Mon and Tue work late again.. we got to comply to our parent company reporting requirement.. and their deadline for us is getting shorter.. we used to close our accts by work day 7... this month, they require us to close by 4th work day and from next month onwards, 4 calendar days!!! That means no matter if the first 4 days of the month fall on Sat, Sunday or even public holiday, we got to go to work and finish reporting!! This deadline is only a monthly requirement as our parent company is listed in other country, we got a quarterly deadline too which they still hv not finalise on the deadline... sigh...

My poor baby goh.. I got to work late means less rest time for baby goh... sorry baby.. but i try to rest after closing.. like taking leave to rest after the closing deadline... becoz of the past experience, i know i need to take care of myself so that baby goh will be in good hands...

Some updates on baby goh.. Baby goh is abt 17 weeks already.. it has been abt 4 weeks since the last check up and i miss seeing baby goh on the little monitor... I have change my appointment to 19 Aug coz Chris cant make it on the 16... will update again when i go for the check up... :)

Exciting August!!!!

It is August!!! It will be an exciting month not that Olympic is here or it is Singapore National Day... Coz my first Nephew (Nicholas) is expected to be out this month.. So EXCITED!! I cant wait for Nicholas to be out!!! haha..

 

My fourth aunty really love kids.. once she know my sister is preggy, she went to order a patch blanket for Nicholas.. that goes the same for Baby Goh too when she know I am preg, she went to order the patch blanket.. and also she came over to my mummy's place beginning last month to make rice wine for my sister confinement.. the wine is suppose to be soak in glutinous rice for a month.. and last week, they open up the soak wine and it smell really nice.. oh.. and my fourth aunty has made pillow for Nicholas and baby goh too.. haha...

 

Well as usual work is boring and really not motivated to work.. the only thing i hope is that time past faster.. This month, my gynea visit is on 16th Aug... Hopefully i can see the sex my little love... hee.. everyone is saying that my tummy look big for 4 mths preggy... some say i look bloated and it could be a boy... and some say my tummy looks round like carrying a little gal... I dunno whether it is a gal or boy yet.. but everyone seems to hv their own bet.. i shld start a betting station for all to bet.. haha..

 

Oh well.. I look really ugly now with all my white hair so obvious and I cant dye my hair!!!  Most of the days, i am too lazy to dress myself up... sometime i dun even purge the energy to wear contact lense... i simply tie up my hair.. and then wear my studious specs to work.. haha.. Oh well.. hopefully after a while i will regain some energy... haha...
