Update at 35 weeks
There’s only 5 weeks to go! Although I feel that it will be much less. My friend just gave birth 3 weeks in advance of her due date, even my sis in law didn’t reach her due date for her first child. I am getting so heavy that this is the time that I felt the baby needs to come out soon! At my last checkup at The v institute Sydney, and I should say that they take care of you really well. I put on way too much weight. I blame it on all the feasting during CNY time, this is just last time as Josiah was born in…

Homemade Wholemeal Bread
Recently I bought the Noxxa Breadmaker 3in1 oven that can make bread, cook like a conventional oven and toast bread. I did some research beforehand, and it’s one of those breadmakers for gluten intolerant people that can also make regular bread as well.

So I had to go to…

Thankfully, Jordan kicks like a footballer, and kicks a lot. I have to record in the ‘pink clinic book’ but it seems a fuss to have to bring this book everywhere I go. So I decided there must be an…

28 – 30 weeks update and a first 4d baby scan
This post is 2 weeks late. Yet it’s something I must share as it was the first time I saw Jordan’s face with a 4d baby scan. Normally all we get are the 3d baby scan. Jordan is now about 1KG and from the scan, looking really chubby. He even yawned in the video. I think he looks a lot like Josiah. Well now I’m 30 weeks and I just realised I’m not as tired as I was at this stage in my first pregnancy. I used to be unable to sit on my office chair for too long and I needed something to prop up my legs all the…
