Nippon Yataimura ~

Last night after work, it was raining. So most places also very jam. When hubby came and fetched me for dinner, it was almost 7.30pm. A bit hungry already ~~ Really cannot think of what to eat, and it was raining, hubby suggested to me to go to One Utama instead... Then, I asked him, can I have Bento set as dinner? Hehehe... Fuiyo, hubby agreed to it! So, off we go. I asked him which shop we gonna eat, he didn't tell me, just asked me followed him will do :)

And finally, he stopped at Nippon Yataimura.... For those who always visit 1U, this is not a new restaurant, located next to Secret Recipe. But it has been ages that we didn't visit there. So surprised that hubby brought me here.

Hubby's ordered Gekikara Ramen which is with 'Triple Chillies' sign:
My Chicken Teriyaki Bento Set:
This time our re-visit, I am a bit disappointed with the quality of the food served, as the food is not as good as the last time we went. The Ramen which hubby ordered, although with triple chillies signals, but it was not as spicy as we imagined.... And my chicken bento set, taste average only... But lucky that the fried rice tasted nice ~~

A small, minor accident I had today ~

This morning, when I was driving to work, really donno what was I thinking at that time... I banged into a divider at a road corner... It was not a very serious banged, car was ok, perhaps the tyre might have some scratches. I stopped for a while, and for a few seconds, I think my brain was in a blank. Then I touched my tummy, asking my baby, 'Baby, are you ok?' I don't think I did hit anything onto the tummy, just to be safe, I kept on telling him, Is alright... Mummy is here, no need to scare ya ~~

Then I immediately informed hubby. Telling him what had happened... Donno is it after the minor banged, I psychologically feel a bit dizzy and feel my abdomen is a bit pain or the dizzy and pains are for real ~~ I really cannot differentiate it. But I still go to work. After a while, the minor abdomen pain seems like didn't get better, so I informed hubby again.

Perhaps hubby was a little shocked and anxious and donno what to do after I told him all these, he seemed like a bit reprimanded me, for being soooo clumsy and careless and always donno how to take care of myself properly. I can feel that hubby is worried for me at his side and told me perhaps I should go for a check-up with gynae if needed. But I seem to feel a bit harshness in him and straightaway I off my line and refused to continue talk to him....

After that I called up the clinic and informed the nurse what had happened, and took my number to see the gynae. During lunch time, I received a few smses from hubby, asking me have I gone for gynae checkup? Does he need to take leave to go with me to the clinic? Update him on anything after my checkup... Actually I was really touched when I got those smses from hubby. And perhaps pregnant lady is a bit weak, I seem can feel my teary eyes after I read those smses ~~

Luckily the bang did not hit my placenta, baby is fine and he is ok. Gynae scanned and checked every parts for me and asked me not to worry. Just that perhaps after the banged, baby in me was a bit shocked. My placenta water volume is lesser than the normal volume, which is not very good. So, gynae issued to me 2 days MC, and kept on reminded me, no shoppings for these 2 days, must rest more and cannot move too much.

I told hubby what gynae has said... Hubby said he will come back early from work to accompany me and ask me please be more extra careful from now.

This weekend supposingly I have one education fair to attend to, because of I need to be on MC, so colleagues need to help me again... Really feel very bad, when everyone is busy with education fairs, I seem like cannot contribute at all. Thank you, colleagues, for being so understanding!

At noon time, mum called, sister called, everyone asking how am I. Don't worry, everyone, I feel better after the afternoon nap, and I promise I will rest more...

Sorry ya, baby ~~ Mummy will be extra more careful next time when I am driving, won't let you get shock anymore. I will always pray for a healthy you!

26th Weeks of Pregnancy

Today marks my 26th weeks of pregnancy... Before I left the office today, I received an email from The Baby-Gaga Team which I subscribed before this so that I can learn a bit more about my fetal development besides the explanations from my gynae during my every monthly check-up...

The article is written like this....
Fetal development in pregnancy week 26:
At long last, your little swimmer can see the womb! Your miracle’s little eyelids have finally separated (they were fused closed previously) and they’re probably having their first moments of sight as you read this (or maybe it already happened while you were brushing your teeth or watching Oprah or something). In addition to seeing their little studio in your belly, they’ve recently acquired the ability to say “yes” and “no” in rudimentary sign language as they can now move their head back and forth. This is also the time where your little super star’s head hair is starting to grow! A cute little cowlick or two may be springing into position right now, getting ready for years of cute-but-stubborn bed-head. Also, their toenails have grown in and you little raisin continues to slowly pile up fat beneath their still-loose skin. Most importantly, brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace, increasing their (genius-level?) brain activity and will continue to function at accelerated levels for the first seven to eight years of childhood!

Today, hubby also starts to read the story book that we bought before this, Jack and the Beanstalk, to our baby. I think at this stage, baby is able to hear and react to sounds from the outside world. When hubby is reading the story, I think our baby's little ears are picking up the sounds of hubby's voice. I just feel tonight our baby's kicking was a bit harder than previous nights, perhaps I was over-sensitive, but I saw the skin on my tummy popped-up a little bit when he kicked. Isn't it amazing?

Well baby, tomorrow your daddy will continue to read the story for you.... ^_^ Hope you enjoy listening ya ~~

Monthly Check-up with Gynae

Today, hubby accompanied for my monthly check-up. We were one week late than the normal schedule. Supposed to go on last week, but last Saturday was a public holiday, and the clinic was closed. So, we postponed it to this week instead. Wow, even though I am the first one to call the clinic at 8.45am to take my number, but my turn is number 9. According to the nurse, there were 8 people waiting before me early in the morning outside the clinic before it was officially opened at 9am. Gosh...

As of today, I should be at my 25th weeks and 2 days of pregnancy. Today's check-up was quite a quick one as nothing much need to ask from the gynae and it was another routine monthly check-up.

We saw baby's movements through the ultrasound, heard his heartbeat, and got to know that he is now weighing about approximately 900 grams now. Hehehe ~~ Baby is growing... Wanted to capture a picture of him, gynae helped me to do the 3D scan, but then baby's hide his face from us using his hands, so we couldn't see him clearly. So no point printed out the 3D picture, so the gynae helped us printed out a 2D picture instead.

Then the gynae told me I need a jab on this round of check-up. I forgot what is the name of the injection. She did explain to me, I listened, but then I forgot already. All I remembered is to protect the baby and me. So, I obediently sat down there for the jab, and then realized ~ Oh gosh, after the injection, my left hand is sooo tired ~~ According to the nurse there, this injection needs 2 doses. So next month, perhaps I will have another one. But will need to confirm with the gynae again on next month. I did ask the nurse on the jab that I took and she explained to me that part of the functions is to protect baby and me from Tetanus.

After that, gynae advised me that I can start to take some fish oils, and asked me did I take any before this? I told her I am eating now and the brand is called NeuroGain. She then explained to me the difference between a commercial fish oil and the one that she is recommending me to take. This particular fish oil that she recommends is molecularly distilled. She explained to me the meaning of molecularly distilled and told us that she herself is also taking this type of fish oil only.

But again, she told me, it is up to me to choose. But since one bottle of the NeuroGain only consists of 30 tablets, and they are also finishing soon, so hubby told me to get one bottle from the gynae and eat. Gynae told me to consume them for 2 months are enough already.

Before I left the clinic, the nurse gave me a few packets of milk powder samples again. So nice of her. This time, one of the samples come with a very nice pink pouch and a few brochures contain some information for us to read.


So when I got home, I goggled and found these two articles on:
1) 'Why Choose Molecularly Distilled Fish Oil' at http://www.nutritional-supplements-health-guide.com/molecularly-distilled-fish-oil.html. Part of the article is written like this: [Molecular distillation is a purification method which is conducted in vacuum. It is actually an industrial standard procedure which is best for the purification of vitamins. Molecular distillation is the only process that can effectively remove metals, PCBs and other harmful toxins to a level that is perfectly safe for human consumption.]

2) About Tetanus: http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/tetanus.html. Part of the article is written like this: [Neonatal tetanus can be prevented by making sure that all pregnant women have had their tetanus immunizations, by delivering babies in sanitary conditions, and by proper umbilical cord care. If you are pregnant, discuss your immunization record with your obstetrician well before your due date.]
