Pregnancy Portrait

Some pics of our pregnancy portrait to show our little twinkies later.

10 Weeks

There are no words to describe the emotions that I had when we saw images of both our babies moved or rather 'swim' on the ultrasound screen. It was aaaamaazingg.... these little twinkies are moving!! Unbelievable cutest little movements that are so different from the printed scans...Hubby and I had a very special moment in life... and I am sure there will be more spectacular moments to comeAt 10 weeks 3 days :)

Fraternal Twins!

It is confirmed. We are having fraternal twins! My babies have roommies...I am like a semi-detached there...hahaha. It is exhilarating, over the moon exciting and also nerve wrecking. How am I going to breast feed 2 babies at one go? We will need 2 baby car seats, plus the maid and the barang-barang... can they feed into the car? We need bigger MPV....If it's a boy and a girl, they can't share room for long.. We need more rooms.

Regardless, it is a blessing that we are very much grateful for :) We will take one step at a time, with such fantastic support, I am sure things will iron out. Most importantly now is for the little twinkies to grow strong and healthy. It was such an amazing experience to see the two little heartbeats on the screen and the loving beaming look on hubby's face. Those little miracles are priceless.

My daily prayer now will also include for the morning sickness and food aversion to get better. Oh, by the way, morning sickness is REALLY a misnomer. It should be called the Whole-Day sickness.... bleah..

But my dear hubby is a real darling taking care of ALL the household chores on top of taking care of his preggie wife. He never fail to amaze me. To see his big smile at the end of the day is always the highlight of my day :) I need to count my blessings more often.

We cheated with home pregnancy test kit before the official blood test ;)

Our precious 8 weeks scan

BFP

I have got a big fat positive! My beta is 775. That is a great number. Hubby and I are over the moon excited. We are so looking forward.

And the waiting continues...

Today is my 9dpt. At this stage, I am much more calmer than I expected. Nevertheless, there are butterflies fluttering in the tummy. I am so tempted to cheat and take a HPT before the betaHCG blood test. Check on my HPT kit and it has already expired! Darn. Keeping fingers crossed and am hoping for a BFP on Monday. From now till then will be a test of my sanity and patience (and with my emotional roller coaster outburst, I think I am also driving hubs up the wall).

On the other note, MIL brought over 4 fresh kampung chicken for some added nutritional value in my diet. Hubs and I made some herbal chicken soup in the crock pot and it was delish! Mum is gonna make me some homemade chicken essence. I am looking forward. If you still can't tell, yes I am a glutton...

I havent being doing much around the house. Except eat, sleep, watch tv and Facebook (I actually won quite a few medals in Farmville over this couple of days...hahaha). Hubby is taking over the house chores and LOL ...also maintaining my Farmville when I rest. He is a keeper!

2 Weeks Wait

This is going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life!
Anxiety is nerve wrecking. Hubby has been so supportive and such a darling. This man really surprises me sometimes.... in a good way :D
Will be back soon.

TGIF

It's Friday! Yay!! I am on a short working day today. So looking forward to the weekend and good weekend food :P Nevertheless, I am still working on shedding off a few kilos.

Happy Weekend!

Kek Lok Si Temple

I cannot recall when was my last visit to Kek Lok Si temple. It has been eons ago. This is my first visit at night. With all the lights around, I wonder how much is the electricity bill. Ironically, with all the lights at the top, the path up to the temple was not lighted. As we went quite late, we did not manage to have a close up view of the Goddess of Mercy statue. Nevertheless, it was an interesting trip.Lanterns and lanterns galore...

Happiness.Perspective.Truth.Kindness

Investment Worthwhile

Over the weekend we have purchased our second property. No doubt we are no longer little kiddies, but I feel so grown-up to say we have invested in a second property. Hubby is beyond excited. I can imagine him doing his "move" if no one was looking. LOL. There is definitely a cute little boy trapped in this man of mine.

A prosperous year for everyone... Huattt ahh!

Gong Xi Fa Chai!

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!

What we did last weekend....

Last weekend was a domestic madness at home... a good one in that sense :) I started off the morning with making vegetable stock from scratch. It was wholesome goodness I tell you. I made a whole pot of the stock, cooled it, then freeze them in small batches. I did not realized that vege stock is comparable to chicken or beef stock until now. You must try. All you need is garlic, onion, celery, carrots, tomatoes, parsley and some thyme. For optimum stock, bring it to boil for 1 hour, and not more than that.

We then started to paint our bedroom. This time round, it's gonna be white with Tiffany blue focus wall. Hence the light breezy feel. The environmental friendly nerd side of me insist on Mr Paint Man's Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) & Low Odour paint.

Half way through painting, I left hubby to the task and made this for lunch with my vege stock of course. I must say it was yummy :PI opened the 'container' cabinet and saw this. Oh well, I ain't perfect. I got distracted and start re-organizing. Lucky hubby got to paint the room on his own.

With a strike of Eureka, I have a sudden urge to bake almond cookies.But instead, ended up drinking coke. Please note the little yellow sign behind in the kitchen says "Eat" but ironically, from certain angle it looks like "Fat". Is God trying to tell me something??

To make up to hubby for 'abandoning' him with the painting task, I made him salad with dried cranberries, tomatoes and papaya for snack. I experimented with new dressing for this sweet salad (whisked up Orange juice, lime juice, olive oil and some soya sauce). It turned out well.With our new love for Fuji apples, this Ikea CHARM apple slicer is our new found BFF. Like its namesake, it works like a charm.

Since I am re-organizing, I also clean up my dining area.Went back into the bedroom to continue painting the ceiling. Again, halfway thru, I 'left' to make Wild mushroom soup with cheese sticks for tea time. I need to feed my man.We finally finished the painting job. I give all the credits to my dear husband. Turned on some music, lighted some candles and burn some essential oil. Our nest smelled good....

I tidy up the work space. This room still need some improvements. See that desk and shelf, I am proud to say, it was our own creation and also our first hack using Vika Amon top sometime ago to accommodate our needs. And tend to my little lucky bamboo plant at the corner of the room. With the new year around the corner, I hope it brings us luck :)

Took a quick shower and we are off to have dinner with a group of friends at some good food 'chu char' place followed by 'yum char' session. It was a good productive weekend. I hope it will be even better this coming weekend... :D
