Baby update at 22 weeks
I just went to my OBGYN for regular checkup and now I’m well into my 2nd Trimester, more than half way through! It’s quite exciting as I just saw Jordan on the monitor and he’s getting real big. My doc reminded me to watch my weight, coz I have gone past 10kg increase in weight. Oops. So now I have to renew my diet plans and stop taking rice, noodles (especially kolomee) and sweet stuffs. So after the check up, we were supposed to go for fried rice, so instead I decided to take fish and vegetables for lunch. I have to drink more plain water instead of all those…

Weaning a Toddler
So finally Josiah is weaned! There was a good thing that came out of my chicken pox after all, it helped in weaning my persistent toddler. I cannot believe I nursed Josiah (bedtime only) for 31 months, when initially when I started, 2 months was my target.

Today, I reminded myself of the Elephant man. Looking in the mirror has become quite scary. I already had bad skin, and it normally took forever for a little pimple to heal and then for the scar to disappear. This on my face now looked like it…

11 weeks update
It was actually 2 weeks ago that I had this checkup. At the time, the good news was, the baby is growing fine but the blood clot is still there but has lessened. So I was put on another 3 weeks of Duphaton, which I found out was giving me the nausea. My OBGYN also asked me to start taking fish oil. Obediently I obliged. Well, this Friday I’m having another checkup. Hopefully all goes well!
