32 Weeks: Maternity Photoshoot at D'Enfant

I am pretty excited this week because we are officially on the 8th month mark. 

26 Sep: Went to see Dr Ang and most probably this would be the last visit there as we had decided to deliver baby under Dr Tan at KKH. Baby was very cooperative and faced up and Dr Ang managed to get a 3D scan for her. According to baby's position on that day, Dr Ang said that about 90% chance, I am able to deliver baby vaginally. Dr Ang said baby's weight should be between 1.5 kg and 2 kg at 32 weeks. Baby's weight was good! She was approximately 2.14 kg. I felt kind of sad that this would be our last visit to Dr Ang. He had actually helped us quite a bit. I wanted to have a proper closure with him but I just didn't have the courage to do so.

Had a nice dinner and catch up session with my primary school classmates at Westgate. 

27 Sep: Scheduled maternity photoshoot at D'Enfant at Johor Bahru, Malaysia. I was very excited about it. We left our house at 9.30 am as the photoshoot was scheduled to be at 10.30 am. But sometimes things in life are so unpredictable. We met with a massive jam at the Singapore custom and were stuck in the jam for about 2 hours. The jam was due to a malfunction of the system. Yeah talk about efficiency huh. 

We finally reached D'Enfant at 12.30 pm. We were very sorry that we were this late as they had another scheduled photoshoot at 2 pm. However, they were very professional about it and upon our arrival, the makeup artist immediately started putting on my makeup and they had also made arrangement for the other party to come at a later time. 

The makeup artist also helped us mix and match the outfits that we brought along. The photoshoot went on smoothly. To my little surprise, the makeup artist actually changed my hairdo thrice for the 3 different outfits. I thought it was indicated in the package that it was only 1 hairdo. 

Had to wait for 2 weeks to select the photographs.

31 Weeks: Slowing Down and More Relaxation

This week we kind of slowed down on our purchases for baby darling as there will be big scale mummy's fair in October. We are waiting for the fair to get good deals for baby darling.

Went for my regular swim again and I improved by swimming a few more laps than my previous swim. After my swim, we went back to my mum's place and had a nutritious dinner. My mum is a real iron chef! :)

My cough was very persistent and I just kept coughing away when I was at work. Almost cough my lungs out whenever I cough. Too much phlegm and I'm someone who doesn't know how to spit out the phlegm. :(

Finally I couldn't take it and decided to take a day's leave on Thursday to give myself some rest and to go to see a TCM doctor for my persistent cough.

I wouldn't say the food is fantastic, given the price. Among the food that we ordered, I think only the beef tenderloin and creme brulee were good. My aglio olio was such a disappointment! The cheesecake was a little hard.

30 Weeks: Collection of Old Clothes for Baby Darling

According to some Chinese belief, people say newborns need to wear some hands-me-down clothes so that they will grow up and it will be easier to raise them up and handle them. Due to this belief, we decided to collect some old clothes for baby darling though we had bought quite a number of new clothes for her. We went to B's cousin's house to inherit her daughter's old clothes. At the same time, we also took a look at their baby cot which they claimed to be as good as new. However, after seeing the baby cot, I had my reservation to inherit the baby cot. First of all, it wasn't as good as new according to my expectation. Secondly, her daughter suddenly just jumped up onto the cot's side grilled bar and I got a shock. No doubt she had done her "quality check" for us but I'm still pretty concerned with the wear and tear issue. So I told B that we should get a brand new cot for baby darling as anything pertaining to her safety, I do not wish to compromise at all. 

We also went to Ikea to look for cabinets to store baby darling's stuff. But we couldn't find anything that was nice so in the end we bought these plastic storage boxes from Citylife Trend at Giant Supermarket. 

I fell sick again and went to see a GP. He prescribed me the same medicine that I took when I fell sick at 20 weeks. 

But I was not recovering. :( Cough was getting worse. Thanks to 2 chocolate chips cookies that I ate! 

Hope I recover soon! :)
