Leading a 'brand new life'

I've been KIV-ing this topic coz I don't know whether this is the right "time" to declare/announce about the new journey of life which I've gotto go thru. Part of it is due to the Chinese believing. Anyway, I've been telling myself that this time round, I really want to pen it down coz I didn't get to do the same 3 years ago.

Ok, a picture speaks a thousand words. I had gone thru a period of "turbulence" lately, all because of

God is kind enough to grant me another new life =) My first resolution for year of 2010 - checked!! ^_^

Just 2 or 3 of my close friend knew about my early pregnancy. As of today, my lil tiny BB is 11 week 6 days old and the expected delivery date is 1st Dec 2010. Meaning I'm almost reaching the 1st trimester finishing line. Weeeeee!!!!!! Those "turbulence" days have slowly (really slowwww!!) passed by, and I'm very glad that my appetite is slowly coming back too. I've been eating more than before and I'm back to 40kg =)

When lil BB was just 4 weeks old (around end of March), that was when I started to have all those horrible nausea whole day long, real bad appetite which made me feel like I had eating disorder and super disastrous gastric attack which worsen my appetite. To the extend that I didn't go to work for 1 week and rested at my mom's house. As a result of that, I loose my weight from the pathetic 40kg to feather weight of 37kg. At that point of time, I looked like a drug addict! Super skinny, leh leh feh feh (untidy) with my bunch of maggi mee bushes on my head. I almost floated in the air lah!

Then I started to worry about my Singapore and New Zealand trip. If you recall, I've blogged about my 16 days of free and easy New Zealand trip few months back. We booked the air tickets for both places much much earlier. I really didn't expect myself to have hit the "bingo button" leh.... Tell you ar, once I have committed on these 2 trips, the long awaited miracle pun datang =) Tak beli tiket, tarak "ong" :P Anyway, I had made thru my Singapore trip and it was a smooth one! I'll talk about it separately. So why did I worry so much on these 2 trips?? All because of my motion sickness problem. Due to my pregnancy, I can't take my all time favorite Novomin pill. What??? A 50 min flight to Singapore also need that magical pill? YES I DO! Imagine, a short flight also I would need Novomin so badly, so for my long haul 10 hour+ flight to New Zealand....what do you think?? +_+

I met my gynea, Dr Tan, on last Thursday for my routine check up and he had given me the final green light for my New Zealand trip. Actually he did tell me much earlier that it is Ok to travel during 1st trimester. It all depend on my body, see whether my condition is fit for traveling or not. Luckily I'm FIT enough, otherwise will have to burn my air tickets liao :P

I've asked Dr Tan to prescribe me some anti-vomit pills, just in case I have my drama while on board. Oh God, please help me... I hope not to have even a minor single turbulence throughout the flight. If not...really big wok for me.

Now, I've gotto pop these colorful pills everyday. Clockwise from top : Multivatimin pills from US, big chocking calcium pills (blueeekk!), iron-Man pills, folic acid and lastly a pack of my 2nd magical anti-vomit pills. Oh BTW, Dr Tan has shared with me a vital info, which I've never heard before. He said that pregnant woman shouldn't take Vitamin A as it will affect the fetus development! Try google about it and you'll get the info. Thus, that was why he recommended me that special mltivitamin pill imported from US. It is specially designed for the preggy mama. It doesn't have Vitamin A and has higher content of folic acid compared to other multivitamin brand in the market.

I will bring this card along too, as Dr Tan has jotted down all my current details in it. In case I have to see a doctor there (touch wood!) then I can show them my card.

Okei, that's all for today. Now everyday pening kepala with our packing. Since it's winter season over there, need to bring over soooo many baju especially for Smellybutt. I can't carry heavy luggage bag, not even my lil gal (she's 10kg now), so we'll TRY to pack very wisely, else pity my sister.
