Goodbye To My Last Surviving Hamster

My last surviving hamster passed away on Christmas night. While feeding her, my hubby commented that the hamster was not in it's normal self. My hamster is already old and both her hind legs were paralyzed :( I think it is a good relieved for her, and especially on Christmas night she can be united with her rest of her family members in heaven.

Bye my little hammie, may you rest in peace.

Welcome 'The Arrival Of Our Little One'

Finally, our little one had arrived. His name is Jayden Kan Zheng En, 简正恩. He popped out on 17 Dec 2011. He looks very much like my hubby, but luckily he had lots of hair though, just like me. ^^

Donating Our Baby Umbilical Cord

Both me and hubby decided to have our baby's umbilical cord donated to the Singapore Cord Blood Bank (SCBB) a public cord blood bank. The organisation provide cord blood for the treatment of patients with various illness, such as leukaemia, bone marrow failure and certain rare inherited diseases.

First Diaper

My cousin Yinchou and his girlfriend Lingxiu visited us and they bought a pack of Mamy Poko diapers for our little one. Thanks to both of them for the thoughtful gift:)

Washy Washy

We are busy doing lots of washing since our little one will be arriving next month.

Used to see adult clothings on our bamboo, kind of weird to see these tiny one:)

Like our new octopus hanger from Ikea?

I Lose Weight!

Went for my routine checkup at KKH and I was pretty surprised to find out that I actually lost almost 2kg of my weight. It must the change of diet, fewer calories intake plus exercise and most importantly on how my food is being prepared and cooked. Luckily our little one is putting weight and he's now 2.4kg!

Leg Cramps

I keep having leg cramps for the past few nights while sleeping. I read up from some article that it is due to the weight of my uterus which restrict blood flow and compress nerves in my legs. The pain may also signal a calcium deficiency. Can't tahan the pain at first but now use to it, so when it occur I know how to handle it, I will flex my feet (pull toes toward knee) to stretch the calf muscle. Massage the muscle with long, firm strokes toward feet. Thanks to 'mybaby' magazine for the great info :)

My Supervised Blood Sugar Profile Assessment

Since I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes I have to attend the glucose assessment as scheduled, together they are 4 other pregnant mummy attending. It started with a

1. Glucose reading @ 8:58am
2. Breakfast @ 9am (big bowl of 'mee ta mak' with minced meat carrot & vegetables plus a cup of milk)
3. Exercise (walk around the hospital, from Women's Tower to Children's Tower)
4. A dietitian to work out an individual diet plan for each and everyone of us
5. Glucose reading @ 11am
6. Snack time @ 11:10am (3 wholewheat crackers with a cup of milk)
7. Glucose reading @ 12:25pm
8. Lunch time @ 1pm
9. Exercise (walk again around the hospital, from Women's Tower to Children's Tower)
10. Watched video on how other pregnant mummy coped with diabetes.
11. Exercise our legs & feet
12. Glucose reading @ 3pm
13. Snack time @ 3:05pm
14. Exercise (walk again around the hospital, from Women's Tower to Children's Tower) walked many... rounds lost count:(
15. The nurse teaches us on how to inject insulin
16. Glucose reading @ 5pm
17. Dinner time @ 5:05pm

We were released after our dinner and I have to continue with 2 more times on the glucose reading at home. I have been eating like a 'pig' and walk like mad today. The doctor came over to see if I needed insulin injection due to 2 high readings for my glucose and I complained that the food the hospital gave was too big portion plus the time interval between each meal was too closed, no time for digestion. Because of this I have to go through the whole cycle again tomorrow; 3 meals, 3 snacks at scheduled time & 7 glucose blood test. How? I have already used up 7 of my fingers can I use my feet instead? heehee...

My new toy (Glucometer).

The green & pink device (lancet) is used to obtain a small pin of blood from the side of a finger by pricking it. Deposit my blood onto the test strip (blue packaging) and insert onto the bottom of the glucometer and wait for the result of the blood glucose level.
