Scan day! 14wks 3 days.

Yupz. Had an appointment to visit Dr Nair at 10 and we left home at around 9.45am. haha... so obviously we did not have the time to grab breakfast and so decided to grab it along the way. While we were placing our orders at the Drive-Tru of Mac over at East Coast, Leonard popped up! Apparently, Leonard's mom was just talking about us when the car drove into the drive-in.. hahaha.. what a super conicidence. :-) anyway..I started ordering while trying to not get distracted by Leonard who was just standing behind the ordering station. Placed our order and we were off!

Over at the clinic, the wait was pretty short cause after I arrived from parking the car, Dr Nair just stepped into the clinic. The nurses took Sharon's weight and blood pressure and all was good. Sharon gained about 3Kg since the last visit so...it's not too bad. Need to gain MORE! kakaka

When the scanning started, Dr Nair showed us the babies and he started taking measurements of their growth. While that was happening, he started joking about how the babies were making gestures at us. For the first kid, he spotted a Ultraman!... the baby was making a sign of a cross with it's arms..haha. Next was Superman and finally it was Batman. That kinda made Sharon concerned as Dr Nair seemed to implied that they were all guys. wooohoo. Then he quickly added that they could be girls also and if so, then all would be just Wonderwoman. :-p

14th weeks

Sharon is heading back to work this Thursday. If I had a choice, I would rather she stay at home. If she had a choice, I think she would stay in too. What's not to like about a tai-tai lifestyle. Play Mahjong, sleep when you feel like it, watch afternoon soap operas. Life is good.

As to why she has to go back, well, I think it a mixed bag of things. She has been missing from work since we found out about the pragnancy and that did kinda hit the department where she worked at pretty hard. Nobody was expecting it to be so sudden. And if things were not exciting enuff, we are expecting triplets (if you don't already know.. haha). With that, it kinda mixed our lives (and everyone around us) into a mess. :-)

Alot of changes had to be made and arrangement to be settled. Not easy man.. but so far.. so good. hehe.

Pray for Sharon and the babies. (my preciousousous)

This is my 13th week

I'm now then only in my 13th week. Hubby was getting a little too ahead with the previous blog. Well, like he mentioned, there's 3 of them in there. (triple the headache....haha) Our gynae has been very good, preparing us in advance wat difficulties we will face as I grow bigger & heavier, the complications that can arise...etc. It's good, but at the same time it's scary too. I don't deny it, I am afraid.=( It's natural...I guess. =P

The babies have been very good, not much morning sickness, except for feeling queasy in the evenings. No cravings yet....(hubby keeping fingers crossed...hehe). Feeling breathless sometimes, but Dr. says it's ok, lots of blood flowing from the heart to the babies, especially now that their hearts are pumping faster. They're growing fast. Had a NT scan with Prof. last week, they look more human now, with hands, legs, ears, nose & a big head. I used to call them my little "Peanuts". Looks like I have to call them little babies now... =)

I had a funny question put to me the other day. A colleague ask how big is my waist now... I went..."Wat waist?...Have not seen my waist for a couple of weeks"........ hahahaha.... gives u an idea how big I am at 13 weeks.....I'll be going back to work next week, everyone in the office is eager to see how big I've grown.... =)

ok.... that's about all for this week... will try to update this blog as I progress with this pregnancy.... stay tuned...... =)

13th week

just went for detail scan last week and all the babies look good! :-) The professor that attended to us was pretty funny and yet.. had very strict views on raising kids. After the session, it got me thinking about how we were, moving forward, raise our kids. Of course, the initial plan was to raise the kids with the helps of both our parents... but then that also got me thinking, is that the way you want your kids moulded... by your parents and not by you? Alot of people say that the first 6 years of your children's life is the most precious and that's when you mould them to how they will be when they grow up. Well.. at least I get to this is at one go for the 3 of them and that is why I must really focus on getting it right.

I also attended a surprise B'day party at Mervin's place for Fred. He will be 32 on the 17th of Oct. Mine is coming up in a couple of months........ SURPRISE me. The people who came were of a pretty interesting group... they were all parents and with me as a expected father... it's like it's a gather for parents. Whenever a kid started crying... anxious parents would look around to see if it was theirs... haha. And when one starts crying.. the rest soon followed. This may seem amusing at first..but try having that non-stop, then you will soon realise the pain. I hope I've got a better treshold for this...3 leh.

Also started shopping for kids stuff and let me tell you, they are NOT cheap! Take for example those electronic breast pumps, they start from $200 all the way to $800 for those duo ones (both of the breast lah). Those companies making those thing really know how to milk you. (pun intended).

I'm looking for sponsorship for my triplets...anyone? ;-)
