we have moved!

thank you for reading this blog all these while. since the first trimester is up, i thought to move the posts back to http://thenest.garynchristine.com so that i could keep up with the posts better. :)

first trimester

i'm finally at that finish line of the first trimester. according to chinese customs, it's now safe to tell others the good news. and i thought i would feel happy telling others the news of a little one on the way too. but, when the time has come, i just didn't want other people to know besides relatives. first, i'm still worried about the pregnancy. secondly, i can't bear the thousands of advices from other people especially those who are mothers. so, i'm still keeping the secret safe with me and hence, have not migrated my pregnancy posts to my other blog.

pressies from all over the world!

hands and legs

i went for my follow-up today and was so excited that we got to see the baby's hands and legs. the OB is quite happy with what he is seeing on the ultrasound. he has also prescribed vitamins for me. besides that, all is well and it's nice to work from home. :)

bump at 2.5 months?

it's truly funny how others after viewing my bump thought that i'm already at 4 months. and i'm only 2.5 months. i've never really been at that "fat" stage. even at 6 weeks, my stomach has seemed pregnant. i don't know.... perhaps it's because i'm petite so it starts showing quicker. i'm still trying to hide it at times especially when attending social functions because i cannot stand the 10,000 of advices some mothers shower upon me. but, i think i'll have to give up soon on that because it's becoming more and more obvious. i'll be going for a follow-up tomorrow and i wonder how big has my little one grew.... i'm quite anxious.

a little better

thank goodness i'm feeling much better now. i was stuck with flu the whole of last weekend (sigh!) and was on medical leave on monday. yesterday, i was on half day because towards the afternoon, i felt worst and my nose was painful due the the blocked nose. when i went home yesterday, i rested a lot and i think that helped with the flu.

i'm back at work now and am trying to be very gungho about everything. i'm also beginning to surf online for baby items for budget purposes. baby items in malaysia is not cheap... a baby cot could cost up to RM 600 (equivalent to USD 170). of course all of these depends on the materials and brands.

my hubby just bought me maternity clothes (again!) that cost up to RM271 for 5 pieces. so now, i have about 10 pieces of maternity clothes. most of them pants and blouses. i can't stand the dresses. and the pants and blouses work well for officewear too. :)

nothing's right

nothing is going right today. my back is aching, my clothes to work looks lousy, my health is now contaminated with flu, my work cannot be completed in time not due to the fault of my own and because of that, i cannot go home and rest. and i keep worrying how all this is affecting the little one. and when i think that way, i become disappointed with myself and causing myself to feel depressed. i don’t know. i just feel lousy.
