Words that Meia utters in her sleep

This has been going on for quite awhile, so I thought I'll blog it down here... Stuff that she has been uttering in her sleep these days : -

1) Bak Bak (meat in hokkien, my gal is a meat lover btw)
2) Bag Bag (MIL got her a very small n cute bag n she plays with it often)
3) Mi mi (that's me!!!)
4) Baa Baa (Barney)
5) Bread Bread

hmmmm moz of it's food n all beginning with the letter B....

Loh Hei

Last night we had Loh Hei, n little Meia had so much FUN!!!!!!!!! Of course she participated in the Loh-ing. We gave her a pair of chopsticks n she joined us when we started the tossing!!! So cute!!! I'll try to upload pix n videos soon (when I get my pc back).

She even surprised us by feeding herself with the loh hei using the chopsticks!! Wow!!! my little gal has grown!!! Hb was so surprised, everyone was very happy, n the happiest person was of course, Meia.

Weight Loss, lack of appetite, sleep n backache

I'm so tired these days........ hardly have any appetite, but gotta force myself to eat coz of my little one inside.

Just a short trip to NTUC has felt me so tired that once I reached home I gotta lie down n rest. This has never happened to me when I had Meia, I could walk whole day n still found energy to do housework... guess every pregnancy is different. I'm just glad that No. 2 is growing well despite me not eating well.

I'm going into my 4mth and so far, no significant weight gain... no tum, the only diff is my complexion. My face is like an oil field at the moment. Went for a facial yesterday n now the face's looks abit better hahaha.

Seems like this time round 2nd tri doesn't look like a honeymoon to me... getting my fair share of backaches n wobbly legs... I can walk halfway n my knees juz go weak! Well, I guess that's part n parcel of being pregnant.

I'll juz rest more then....

Happy 18 months Darling

Dear Meia

You're 18 months today n I'm so glad u r in my life, making it so complete. It seems juz like yesterday that u were juz born. Now u're blooming to be a very adorable n lovable little gal, n Daddy n I can't wait to interact more with you.

I would like to apologise for not being able to spend more time with you as I've been pretty tired these few weeks. I'm sorry if I've shouted at you n to the extend of beating you when my patience runs short. It hurts me to treat u this way n sometimes I do not know why I have to inflict unnecessary pain on you. U're afterall still a baby. Maybe my expectations of u were too high n when you refuse to listen when I discipline you, I juz let my emotions get the better of me. Yet at the end of the day, after all the scoldings n beatings, u still come running to me, hugging n kissing me. At times, I really feel u deserve a better mommy, I wish I was a little more patient with you these days. I hope u'll forgive me for all my weaknesses.

You're really the Star in my Life, nothing n no one can replace the hold u have on me (as well as your Daddy, he loves u very much too darling). The day u entered our lives 18 months ago has been a series of ups n downs, but despite all the downs, you've really brought joy to our hearts.

Our hopes for you is that you grow up to be a loving, honest, healthy n happy person.

We love you Meia. You'll always be our little star, our little gal, our First Born!

Lots of Love, hugs n kisses (somehow they're never enough)
Mommy n Daddy.

Hi Folks

Hi everyone!!! haven't been updating this blog for the past few days coz bil is back n my pc is 'on loan'...

Went for my checkup yesterday n all was well, except that my gynae is rather concerned that I've lost weight instead of putting on... what to do.... poor appetite. But the most important thing is that No. 2 is growing well, infact the baby wasn't very co-operative yesterday. He/she was bz doing somersaults n apparently stopped (at a very weird position) when gynae tried to look at the gender.... (grrrr another cheeky bb). To be able to look at the gender, the bb must be in a sleeping position. No. 2 was in a curved funny position... but gynae managed to let me see something in between, so he guessed could be a boy... my reply 'gal or boy is ok to me, so long the bb is healthy I'm very happy' That reply brought about a megawatt smile on my gynae's face.

No pix of No.2 though, since bb was in a 'bad' position he didn't wanna waste my money...

Gosh, it'll be another month before I get to see No. 2 again for my detailed scan...

Happy Lunar New Year

Juz one more day to go n its ang pow time (mostly giving away), get together time, n PIGGING OUT time!!! How times flies! This year, Meia will be able to join us at the table for reunion dinner, last year she was just 6 months n MIL gotta carry her while I ate my lunch. Well, this yr she can happily sit beside me n chomp away!!! And next yr, well, my piggy baby will also be joining us at the table kekeke...

I'm glad to announce that Meia is able to self feed, she does it quite good when it comes to dry stuff like corn flakes n bread, but when it comes to porridge, I still don't have the guts to let her try... well that can wait.

So folks, have a Prosperous Lunar New Yr and may everything that u wish for come true. Let us, the Koh Family wish u Good Health n Happiness Always!

Hello

Here's a greedy Meia with a mini pack of raisins.... pls excuse the messy play area in the background....

What I bought today at Hock Hua

It was Me time this afternoon, but I went out of the house with a very heavy heart, somewhat feeling alittle sad n empty.... Y? Cos Meia caught me sneaking out of the house n when I stepped out of the gate, I heard her calling 'Mi Mi...........

All my thoughts were on her as I headed for lunch at J8... my poor baby.... I felt so guilty.... I was like a zombie when I reached J8, didn't even enjoy the laksa I had been craving for for the past few weeks... so I decided to make it a quick one and after I finished, I didn't do any shopping, but juz headed down to Hock Hua to get what I needed for Meia's porridge.

Here's what I bought : -

1. 150g Dried Bao Yu (round types, cos its sweeter) - $8.90
2. 5 bottles of birds' nest (buy 5 get 1 free) - $130

Since Meia doesn't like the birds' nest, she can drink the water. According to the SA the water is good for the throat n lungs... dunno how true lah, but Meia was the reason y I decided to grab 5 bottles of birds nest (that is after a phone call to hb to get permission) hahaha....

Came back n was feeling very complete again with my little gal in my arms, n I was greeted with a very BIG KISS!!!!!!!!

I LOVE U BABY!!!!

My Little Miss Koh

Before she learnt how to walk, she goes wherever I wanna go.... now that she can walk n run, I have to follow n take intructions from her on where she wanna go.... hahahaa

This morn after marketing n all, I was walking with helper n Meia, passing thru the HDB flats. I like passing thru these flats cos its very windy n it has a nice view from the top. I usually walk outside, but being a pretty sunny morning, I decided to walk inside instead. Expecting Meia to follow, little Miss Koh decided that she wanted to walk outside where there's a view... I was like 50m away from her when I heard

Meia : Mi Mi....
Me : (looks back) yes darling
Meia : Mi Mi (fingers pointing outside)... (before I can say anything she walked outside)
Me : (looks at helper n laughs) okie okie we walk outside...

These days she likes to grab our hands n will ask us to follow her....

Meia likes to ride on....

her daddy!!! hahaha n hb likes it this way cos he says like that his arms dun ache.... here's a pix of her n her daddy, she's bz absorbing the sights of the circle line construction site.

Meia's current craze

Yes, she crazy over her Kiri Cheese.... happened to buy it last week at CS n my little girl's so in love with it she refuses to let go of the box... I had to bargain n used a packet of ribena to exchange, even that she refused... hahaha.... so in the end I gave her a packet of gummy n she finally gave me the cheese, so I quickly emptied the cheese, n passed her back the box.....

Oh the cheese is really yummy. I prefer the garlic flavoured one though, but I bought the plain one cos I'm afraid she wouldn't like the former....

Back dated post on No. 2

Did my First Trimester Screening last Tuesday for Downs n got very good results. Boy was I so relieved!!! Combined results for scan n blood test came out 1:7005..... No. 2 was very co-operative that day n allowed us to view his (gynae's guess) body, hands, legs n even his head n brains... he's at 5.5cm at 12 weeks n gynae said he's at the right size... whew!!! n my weight gain so far these 3 months stands at 1.2kg... but silly me forgot to take my bag off (there's a book n a brolly in there) n was too pai seh to get the nurse to measure again, so I juz stuck with it hahaha.... here's a pix of no. 2

Her first pair of Colettee shoes

Went Vivo with my mom last Thursday... when we walked past Colettee, we couldn't help ourselves n walked in.... both my mom n I caught sight of the same pair of shoes for Meia n we thought it was very pretty, so...... I bought it...

Big head pix

Took this while we were tumbling around in bed....
