31st Birthday

It's my 31st birthday and Jerlyn gave me  surprise by asking all her family to celebrate my birthday. Jerlyn bought Swensens cookie and cream ice cream cake for me. I think within 10 mins the cake was gone with little XN eating the most.

I went for my school field trip regarding the Environmental Impact Assessment Assignment. We went to the Urban Redevelopment Authority and Marina Barrage to know more about the future development and the water dams.

Jerlyn went to Jacqueline house early in the morning as she was asked to be one of the sisters. She woke up at 4am in the morning and went there to help. As the day goes by and due to the lack of sleep, she became grumpy. I think because of her pregnancy she get irritate easily., luckily I was there to pacify her. Its great to have someone who love her to pacify her when she is grumpy.

I went for Jacqueline and Nicholas wedding at Singapore Expo. The carpark was really difficult to get and it make it worse when the roads were closed for the construction of SMRT downtown line 3. the food was not that good but the services there really sucks.

Busy

I getting more busy everyday. We went to Singapore Chinese Girls School for the breastfeeding talk during the weekday where Mrs. Wong taught us about the ways to feeding baby, how to massage the breasts and how not to have sore nipples. She also teach us about the bottle feed too.

The 5th lesson at AMK hub she taught us how to bathe the baby, how to swaddle the baby, how to handle new born, how to burp the baby and how to use cloth diapers.

Jerlyn's Aunt organised a open house for her friends and so many people came and look at the house.

We went to see Dr. Sim again for the monthly check up. Baby Elva is growing well as 651g but Jerlyn was told by Dr. Sim to control her weight as she worried that Jerlyn will be overweight and hard for baby to come out. So the ideal is gaining one kilogram per month till birth.

We went to Jerlyn's friend Jane wedding at Regent Hotel. Most of her guests are rich people. The food was not bad but it started quite late so by the time it reaches the last dish we were too tired and had left for home.

Mooncake Festival

We went for our annual moon cake festival tasting at Taka Square and bought Jerlyn's favourite durian moon cake from home's favourite. I did not buy because I bought tung lok snow skin mini moon cake from my company with discount.

We decided to call our baby girl Elva Lee after eliminating 9 other names. The Chinese name will be chosen after our baby girl is born.

We went to my company staff night at Mount Faber Jewel Box. This was my first staff night with the company. The food was not really good. Everyone was complaining about the food today. I heard it cost $90 per person.

We went for Mrs. Wong third lesson and were told that the fourth lesson will be at weekday in a school. Jerlyn will have to take two buses and walk to reach there. We were shown a video about 6 different types of giving birth. Jerlyn was amazed by the women giving birth naked at home and in hospital. It seem like in western countries it is quite common to give birth naked.

We went to meet Jacqueline and Nicholas for their preparation for their wedding. All the brothers and sister went to Hougang Plaza and meet. Let see what will Nicholas have to suffer for his gatecrash on next Saturday. Will they dance the "Oppa Gangnam style"?

Ella and Elva

Finally we got our Internet at home. We went to Starhub Plaza Singapura to buy our home broadband. We do not need to go to Jerlyn's mum house to use Internet anymore.

Jerlyn went to Jacqueline so call hen's night but actually it was a mahjong session for the sisters. I went to fetch Jerlyn about 10pm at night and watch her win after 5 hours of mahjong session.

We went for the second session of per natal class. We were taught the breathing technique during labour but most mummies will forget how to breathe when during labour. Mrs. Wong also taught Jerlyn how to do Kegel exercise, which comprise of three different exercise, urinal exercise, birth canal exercise and anal exercise. Birth canal which help control of giving birth when not in labour and also more enjoyment of sex.

We went to meet the mummies club because I need to get something from KF. We went to untied square as it is a baby and kids friendly mall. We went there for late lunch at baker inn and early dinner at Xing Wang Cafe. Basically we were eating all the way when we were there.

Finally I have work 3 months at the new company. Hope I can get the confirmation soon. During my 3 months there, I did my first safety audit. Although I have a swollen left eye that day but I still managed to learn something from the lead auditor. Hope the next quality audit will have new experience.

We have been thinking of baby names till now. Jerlyn thought of using alphabet E for our baby because of her name JER will stand for the three of us. So I went to search for more alphabet E baby names and we narrow down to two names, Ella and Elva. So which names will we choose, we shall know next week.

Pre Natal Class

We went to AMK Hub for our first pre natal class. Mrs. Wong is the trainer for the course, she teaches us how a pregnant lady should do and not to do, how to breathe, how to massage, what is the correct diet, what is the correct postures. She teaches us a lot of things that we do not know about. We even saw how mothers breast feed their twins.

We went to a lady house near AMK hub to buy maternity bras. She is a full time housewife taking care for her kids and also part time blogger selling maternity clothes. Her house was quite big, should be a 5 room flat. she had a small room for all her maternity clothes and there is changing room too. I bought two maternity bras, one maternity pants and two bras extenders for Jerlyn as she couldn't wear her normal bras and pants anymore due to baby growing bigger.

I haven't been working in the rain for quite sometime and one of the day that need to go down to the site for surveying and it rain. I couldn't carry out my work and got drenched too.

School started again and I was very sleepy on my first day of school, might be the wet clothes which has dried making me tired.

I had an infection on my left eye for the whole week due the the dust. My whole eyelid was swollen and I could feel the weight of the swollen eyelid sitting on my eye which make it very uncomfortable. I went to see one of my company registered panel of doctors. First one was not opened as their timing has changed, so I went to see another doctor near the first doctor. Turn out I wait for one hour, went in and see him, poke my eyelid and ask me is it painful? What do you think? He told me he will give me eye drop, antibiotics and inflammation tablets. I was in the doctor's room for only 30 to 45 secs. I waited for 30 mins for the medicine and went home. But the medicine did cure me after 4 days.
