再等你个十天

对了, 我还在等待.
这只小老虎可真是顽皮得不行. 不止到钟了不肯出来, 还继续在里面横行乱踢.
没办法, 唯有多等个十天. 再不来, 就得在29日催生.
家里原本做好预备来坐月时充饥的蛋糕, 饼干都快被扫干净了. 只好再弄个戚风蛋糕来顶档.

今天跟我老公说好谁都不准理睬这只老虎. 软的不行, 就来硬的吧. 你不出来那你就在里面自己踢个够!!! 我看他八成是被我老公宠坏了. 每天对他又亲又吻, 还陪他隔肚皮玩追追.

Peanut Boy in His Playground @ Week 39

我还没生哟!! 还有几天而已!!

其实最近, 除了买菜, 带家公家婆到处看看之外, 我还是有在不停的煮.

试了菜粿, 咸水粿, 黑糯米糖水和柠檬牛油蛋糕. 由于对成果都不是太满意, 所以连照片也没拍.

肚子里的那个小家伙也实在是太顽皮了. 不出外走走, 不呆在厨房里麻醉自己, 肯定受不了他.

最可怜的是.....自己越来越像一只手脚不灵活及走不动的大笨象了.

Pregnancy@Week 36

We are entering the last stage of preparation for baby's arrival. Basically we are quite prepared physically as we have been constantly doing all the washing, cleaning and building up kitchen supply for the past few weeks. We have packed the bag, confirmed a pediatrician for the baby and my in-laws are arriving this Saturday. So, everything is on track. While I am not sure if I am ready for the birthing part, I will just follow the flow and pray for the best.

Sharing with you a photo of the 120 pcs meatball which I kept as emergency supply in freezer. You may find the recipe here. Hopefully I can still try out few more recipes before losing my freedom soon. :)

Massage Treat from Peanut Boy

As papa is on business trip this week, so mama decided to show papa a massage treat mama received from peanut boy after breakfast this morning.

花生仔 (Peanut Boy)

这是我肚子里的'花生仔'(对, 又多了一个花名叫Peanut Boy)爱摆的'花生式睡觉pose'. 短片里拍到的还不够花生, 更花生的我没拍到.

New Sports Car for Baby

There you are. Another toy in the already overstuffed apartment. This time we have something cool in orange.

Toy Collection

Here are some toys for the baby. Some old, some new but all of them are... cheap. Haha.... of course babies cannot differentiate expensive and inexpensive toys. They care more about their sleep and milk. By the way, the big white teddy is mine. We named it 'Peanut Bear'. And... oh... we received our Maclaren Quest Sport stroller from Singapore today. Another gift from hubby's brother. Tqtq.

Treasure Hunting on A Saturday ~ 05.06.2010

Thanks to Maggie, we went to a 2nd hand market (Le Vide-Grenier à la place de Milan) which is said to be held once a year in Lausanne. At first we thought it was only a 2nd hand market for baby items but it turned out to be much bigger scale selling all sorts of unwanted from the Lausannese. After almost 3 hours of hunting in the park, we left with the above. Some of the items were only selling at 50 cents or 1 franc which is almost impossible to buy anything in Switzerland. At the end, we felt richer spending 40 franc for all (minus the electrical steamer which we bought it new from Conforama after we left the market. We plan to use it as bottle sterilizer and food steamer for baby).

小虎娃

顺便和大家介绍一下, 这一只小虎娃是我们在巴黎唐人街用3欧元买的. 今年是虎年, 想帮小孩存些纪念品(其实是自己想要...). 可是,在瑞士也实在难买!@#$@!%@$#.

我妹在台湾也帮我买了一只, 所以哪位仁兄仁妹如果有见到可爱的虎饰品, 麻烦帮帮忙买下来. 我不想再等个十二年. 先谢了.

Labor Positions

Braxton Hicks Contractions

What do Braxton Hicks Contractions Feel Like?
Some women do not feel much discomfort with their contractions, while others definitely feel stronger Braxton Hicks contractions. Usually, Braxton Hicks contractions are painless, causing only minor discomfort and annoyance. As you begin to get closer to your due date though, you may notice that your Braxton Hicks contractions are becoming stronger.

Braxton Hicks contractions tend to be infrequent and irregular, and can sometimes pop up out of nowhere. They usually don’t last long, though it depends on your particular pregnancy; some women have Braxton Hicks contractions that can last as long as 5 minutes.

When you experience a Braxton Hicks contraction, you might be able to feel the muscles in your uterus contracting. It will cause your stomach to become rigid and hard, which you will be able to feel if you touch your belly. This rigidity typically lasts only for a few minutes. You may also feel moderate pain in the front of your abdomen which will then radiate down your body.

Common Braxton Hicks Triggers
Many women notice that certain things trigger their Braxton Hicks contractions. Common triggers include:

• baby moving inside your body
• heavy exertion or exercise, especially carrying things
• touching your abdomen
• sexual intercourse
• dehydration

True Labor vs. Braxton Hicks

Braxton Hicks	True Labor
Contractions don't get closer together.	Contractions do get closer together.
Contractions don't get stronger.	Contractions do get stronger.
Contractions tend to be felt only in the front.	Contractions tend to be felt all over.
Contractions don't last longer.	Contractions do last longer.
Walking has no effect on the contractions.	Walking makes the contractions stronger.
Cervix doesn't change with contractions.	Cervix opens and thins with contractions.

What can I do if my Braxton Hicks contractions are making me uncomfortable?

If you're within a few weeks of your due date, try these measures:

• Change your activity or position. Sometimes walking provides relief. At other times, resting eases contractions. (True labor contractions, on the other hand, will persist and progress regardless of what you do.)

• Take a warm bath to help your body relax.

• Empty your bladder often. Bladder irritation can trigger more intense Braxton Hicks contractions.

• Try drinking a couple of glasses of water, since these contractions can sometimes be brought on by dehydration.

• Try relaxation exercises or slow, deep breathing. This won't stop the Braxton Hicks contractions, but it may help you cope with the discomfort. (Use this opportunity to practice some of the pain-management strategies you've learned in your childbirth preparation class.)

When should I call my doctor or midwife?

Calling your doctor or midwife should happen if you have contractions closer than 12 minutes apart prior to 37 weeks, as this might indicate preterm labor and not Braxton Hicks contractions.

Call your caregiver right away if you haven't reached 37 weeks and your contractions are becoming more frequent, rhythmic, or painful, or if you have any of these possible signs of preterm labor:

• Abdominal pain, menstrual-like cramping, or more than four contractions in an hour (even if they don't hurt)

• Any vaginal bleeding or spotting

• An increase in vaginal discharge or a change in the type of discharge — if it becomes watery, mucusy, or bloody (even if it's only pink or blood-tinged)

• Increased pelvic pressure (a feeling that your baby's pushing down)

• Low back pain, especially if it's a new problem for you

If you're past 37 weeks, there's no need to call your doctor or midwife just for contractions until they last about 60 seconds each and are five minutes apart — unless your caregiver has advised you otherwise.
