RE: Some stuff for baby Adelle_//

Some necessity for baby Adelle

Collected a box of baby clothing for our little Adelle

The ''hand me down'' clothing for little Adelle

dear had gotten 2 pairs of booties and mittens which was chosen
by me for our little baby Adelle...

Let's get started this way.Had some hand me down newborn clothing from cousin for baby Adelle.Finally could see some achievements in the collection of newborn clothing.Before that we had gotten some newborn till 9mths old clothing for baby Adelle,but it doesn't seems that much though.

Perhaps,we will put a stop in getting clothing for newborn since we already had some pass down clothing.Plus newborn outgrow very rapidly,and we should focus more on clothing at least 3mths and above.I'm getting baby Adelle full month dress too.Hmm,which brand should I choose then?
It does crack my head when this topic comes into the picture.

The mitten and booties which we had got was simply so attractive.Loves the design the moment I saw it,and decided to have it purchase for baby adelle.
So far,plus the ''hand me down'' booties and mittens together of what we had bought,it's more than enough to last for the one whole month.

Some necessity for our little Adelle.There are more baby bathing, baby feeding stuff to come.
At the moment,we got what we need first.Other stuff like baby shampoo,baby oil,soap etc will be purchase one month plus before the due date.

I had been thinking about the manual breast milk pump,which brand to get.
Had read quite a few feedback from some mummies users in the forum.Plus I had posted this enquiry in the forum too.Many mummies did gave me some good and bad feedbacks for different brand.

Now,will it be Avent,NUK,Pigeon,Dr Brown or Tollyjoy?

Talking about the full month celebration,well I'm not being ''kiasu''...It's does make sense on planning for this right now.As by the final month of my pregnancy,I gonna do booking for buffet,full month cakes etc.The reason why was that,when I step into the confinement month,I bet there wasn't any energy for me to source for any buffet,cakes etc.Therefore,I need to plan everything well so that the items which we want will be done by full month celebration.

Right now,I'm looking into the full month cake,which buffet to engage,and venue for the celebration if we do not want to hold it at home.But if we were to,there wasn't any need for the venue.

For the full month cake,more or less we had decided on which confectionery which we want to go for.It's the buffet company and venue that made me crack my head of how it could be done.
Perhaps,I really need the last 3 mths to have a real planning.....

RE: Updates of the stuff for baby Adelle

It's time to do some online /outdoor shopping for baby Adelle

Some cheap deals which I had got it from
for baby Adelle at Lucky plaza today...

I simply cant stand some cutie clothing which I had seen be it at shopping malls or even online.
Wanna grab as much as I could.Even though I had some''hand me down'' clothing for baby Adelle,be it from cousin,friends or even colleagues,but the feeling of wanted to get more was simply there.

Had wanted to get more still.Now currently I am looking everywhere for clothing between newborn to 12mths of age.Most importantly to get one real cute and nice for baby Adelle full month celebration.

Other than clothing,it's high time for us to get the following stuff like,Playpen,pillow,blankets,wardrobe,cloth diapers,napkins liner,mitten booties,face towel,big towel,milk bottle,bottle milk scrub,tongs,breast pump,etc etc.
I had one huge handy checklist with me which I will bring it along when buying of the baby stuff.
Perhaps,every weekend will be the time for us to get some accessories purchase,so that we won't panic when July comes.

Plus,today I am already stepping into my 6mths of pregnancy.Very soon,in another 3mths time I will be going into labour and giving birth to baby Adelle.I wonder how the feeling will be like after listening to the comments each mummies gave.

Lately,almost every night I had been listening to the soft music by Mozart.Guess what baby Adelle almost kick me every minute upon listening to those music that was played.
She's a music lover I suppose.*smile*
Plus dear and myself will be singing some songs and talking to baby Adelle just before we go to bed.This is another kind of bonding that was to be done just before she is born.
Of course,story telling is another thing which we won't forget about.

It seems that baby Adelle loves taking train,especially on North East Line.She had kicked me quite a bit during the journey to work when taking the train service.
I do love how active baby Adelle was by kicking me,as this tells me that she is growing well in my tummy and not having me to worry about her.
Of course,I did my part by talking to her almost everytime she kicks.Some times with that,she kicks even harder though.

*Baby Adelle,we wish to see her soon in another 3mths plus time!!!*

RE: Detailed Scan for baby Adelle at 23weeks old.

Our baby Adelle at 23 weeks old.

Labeling of the features for
Baby Adelle....

All right,for today there was this detailed scan coming up after my 5mths of pregnancy.The critical time for the whole journey gonna be here then.

As usual,I'll felt worried and nervous each time I go for my check up.Today I felt the worst.

In my heart,I'm thinking how will baby Adelle looks like,will her organs everything be okay,will she grow healthly?

All these worries come into the picture very naturally.

Nevertheless,dear and myself gonna face everything today.

Had my appointment at 10am at Dr Ong clinic at Mount Elizabeth.By 1030am,it's my turn to step into his room where my worries all came.Dr Ong had been noticing my weight gained and told me that from the start of my pregnancy till now,I had gained 9kg in total.He had advised me to cut a little of my weight gained.

Other than that,everything is fine though.

Next part,will be the detailed scan.Lying down just beside his 3D and 4D machine to do the scanning.

Saw baby adelle at 600g with 23weeks and 5days.Her heart beat was fast and normal.All her organs like kidney,stomach,heart,bones etc were healthy.*phew*

Now it's time for seeing her features.But then,baby adelle actually use her hand to cover the side of her face without letting us to see her face for the first time.

Subsequently,Dr Ong had to shake my tummy real hard in order to let baby adelle move so that she will let go of her hand covering her face.Still,her little hand was still there,refuse to change position.

It's only the 4th time after which Dr Ong shake my tummy only did baby adelle remove her hand,and finally get to see her face for the very first time!

Baby adelle resembles more of me!!!*smiles*

Her face shape was round and sharp at the chin.She had high cheek bone,and sharp fleshy nose.

Both her nose and mouth looks exactly like mine,just that her nose was sightly sharper and higer than mine.

Her forehead was high and face was quite big actually.This,she does resembles dear for having that.

Was kind of feeling happy when seeing baby adelle looks more of me.Still,I hope that she will have her daddy ''little smart brain'' and daddy height.

Most importantly was to grow healthier each day.

Baby Adelle,she had all the different sleeping posture.She loves to sleep with her hand either behind or beside her head,From the detailed scan,could see clearly,how she do different pattern each time the scan on her.
She even laugh at us by placing her palm and cover her mouth...

At the end of the scan,I do feel much relieve.With the collection of this 3D photo and my flu medication from Dr Ong clinic today.

This 3D photo was included in the package which I signed up,that $2k...

Except that dear gonna pay another $160 for the detailed scan and my flu and cough medicine.

*My next appointment will be one mth from now,on the 20th April.

This time round to check for glucose and normal scanning.*

RE: Currently in my 22nd week of pregnancy

The pregnancy hand book which guided me all the way

some baby items which I had got it from the baby fair
at Isetan private sales

Some stuff which I got it from BHG Bugis Junction and
Baby kingdom

How's the tummy at 22 weeks?

At my 22nd week of pregnancy

Into my next stepping stone.Today at week 22,was kind of telling me another 16 weeks or more to go before dear and myself can see our little princess in this coming July.
I had been telling girl girl about the differences between day and night.As she always love kicking me during the night time when we are all suppose to sleep.
Did told her that,when night time comes,it's time for sleeping.When morning comes,can just kick any hour she likes.

These days,I had been doing research of what to expect during the pregnancy.Yet during the trip to the library,I'm able to find those books which I had been searching for long.
It does come handy for my journey of pregnancy.

Had managed to get some of the baby items from various places.Especially the receiving blanket,which I had a hard time searching for it.Wanted something pinky yet plain.
All along,had only seen those white with some prints on it,which was not what I had wanted.
Just hope that this pinky receiving blanket can give our little princess some good luck when receiving her into this world.

There are more stuff to come as month goes by.Some kind souls actually uploaded a baby checklist of what we are suppose to get before the arrival of a baby.
Currently gonna tick down what we can get just before July arrives.

RE: My 21weeks of pregnancy*

Look at little girl girl in my tummy

Girl girl at 20weeks

a closer look at 20 weeks

Now stepping into my 20th weeks of pregnancy,the first digit that start with a ''2''....
To be more specific,it's my 21st week where there's another 17th weeks to go before I get to see girl girl and hug her in my arm.

At 21 weeks,meaning 5mths and 1 week of pregnancy.It doesn't come easy though and I do hope that during the detailed scan which will be on the 23rd of this month gonna be a successful one.
The detailed scan tells whether the baby had develop properly,gonna check on her legs,hands,features etc etc.

Right now,I'm praying hard for a healthy girl girl a real healthy one though....
