This is Shannon, our god-daughter. Picture was taken on her 1st birthday. Isn't she cute.... =)

27 weeks now... 7 weeks more to go

These 2 weeks have been tough..... I had a very bad nose bleed last week... initially we all thot it was due to the homones / pregnancy. But we found out last week, after seeing an ENT, that I had a polyp (a growth the size a blueberry) in my right nose & it burst, which is causing the nose to bleed non-stop. After consulting my Gynae, both doctors decided that it's safe to remove the polyp on the spot and sent it to the lab for testing.... so I had a minor laser surgery to remove the polyp. Well, all is well now, lab test showed that it's not cancerous... so a sigh of relief for all =) ... it got us really worried when the Dr. found the polyp.... cos I've never complained about any nose bleed except now, which is rare according to him.... =)

This week, we had a scan with Prof. to check on the babies growth. He found 2 of them to be alittle smaller, as in the waist of the baby compared to the size of the head is a bit small. If this carries on.... Dr. Nair may bailout and take the babies out earlier, as they stand a higher chance growing outside. So one more detail scan mid-Feb and we will know if the babies are coming earlier. I've also taken my steriod jabs to speed up the growth of the babies lungs, just in case they arrive early. Therefore, by mid-Feb, if the 2 babies catch up, we may last till 34 weeks, but if they still remain status quo, they may be out sometime between 32 - 33 weeks (which is early March).

Other then the 2 things happening above, everything is going fine, my sugar level have stabilised quite a bit. The babies are also very active, especially at nite. I suspect I have american time zone babies. I don't get to sleep much at nite, as they are very active and they like to harden up, sometimes they gather themselves to one side as well.... as if they are having a meeting. Their Daddy call it the "Mahjong" session time... hahaha...=)

Chinese New Year will be arriving in a couple of days..... 6-7 weeks more and I'll have 3 little doggie babies. (it's the year of the Dog). Happy Chinese New Year everyone..... have a prosperous new year, good fortune & good health to all .....!!!!!

See u all next year!!!!!

25 weeks and counting

I'm 25 weeks now..... countdown time.... 9 weeks more to go.... and I'll be 34 weeks... that's about the time my 3 babies will be out. Well, for singleton pregnancies, 40 weeks is full term, twins is 36 weeks, triplets is 34 weeks.... I'm looking forward to seeing them. Now I pray that I'll be able to carry them upto 34 weeks... i.e. target date 15th Mar 06... they should be out anytime thereafter. (friends... if u're reading this blog, pray for us ok.... thanks =).)

I'll be seeing Dr. Nair this Saturday, I hope everything's ok. Found out 2 weeks ago that I have a little too much fluid inside, which may cause pre-mature labour... so I'm on medication now to try & cut down the fluid as well as to keep the womb "quiet"... I also have Gestation Diabetes (one of the causes of excess fluid in the womb).... therefore I've got to space out my carbo meals & sugary treats, small meals every 2 hrs... just like a baby...kekeke =) i've got to do glucose blood test & keep a record for Dr. Nair too... let's see wat he says when he sees it this weekend.... Lucky for me, I don't have a sweet tooth, if not it'll be difficult to give up Coke/Chocolate etc....Best news ever is that this type Diabetes will go away after giving birth & the little babies will not be Diabetic.... =)
