Week 37 with my baby girl

Hi!
 
I'm officially 37 weeks pregnant now :) Just one or two more weeks to go before my baby girl is out. I really can't wait for her to be born!! Like so kanchiong hehe. Of course la, I've been carrying her in my tummy for 9 months!! I interact with her everyday without fail, of course I would loved to see her sooner, isn't that true?
 
So... I went down to H&M with my family yesterday and I got some stuffs for baby Renee. Some of their stuffs are going really cheap!! & it's all so beautiful @.@ P.S. it's my first time buying stuffs from H&M. Cuz I used to have this belief that their stuffs wouldn't be cheap. And I didn't knew they sell kids stuffs there until my aunt told me so. I think, no harm going also la, go walk walk lor, take it as an exercise haha. In the end I ended up exercising my pocket LOL. But okay la, I didn't spend much either. Lemme show you what I bought over there:
 


I bought a blue flower headband (omg its so soft) for just $3.90 and 3 pairs of baby pink socks for just $5.90!! Its sooooo cheap~ Both less than $10 only. I even bought myself a black cotton dress for $10! Cheap steals neheheh. & the good thing about the dress is, I'm able to wear it anytime, whether or not am I pregnant. I like to get such clothing cuz you won't waste it no matter what and you can wear it anytime cuz main point is it's stretchable haha. Rather than wasting $$ on maternity clothing (which are expensive & ugly), I'd rather spend more time looking for such clothing.
 
I never used to bother about how I spend my $$. I could just take a whole bunch of $50 out and come back with none, but with bags of stuffs. But it's different for me now. I can't spend too much on myself anymore as I'm married, I have to pay for the monthly bills with my husband. I'm with child, so I have to save a sum of $$ up every month for her usage. Y'know, it's really not easy to raise a child in a country like sg. Everything requires $$. Education, medical fees (infants are prone to getting sick), neccessities, clothing & stuffs & etc.
 
I really wonder why did I got married so early!!!!!!
 
But since I chose this path myself, then the only choice I've left is to accept it & be responsible towards it. I know it's not gonna be easy for us in the time to come, especially when baby Renee is coming out anytime sooner or later. But I know I've got good buds and family around me which have been giving me endless of moral and physical support during this whole period when I'm pregnant. My lifestyle will take a turn for the change once she's out as I've gotta learn many things like how to carry her properly as their very fragile, how to make milk, how to care for her & stuffs like that.. It's really not simple, but I promise I will do it!
 
Before I carry on yanking, lemme show you some more pictures:
 
 
This was me yesterday taken before I headed out to H&M. Ouh pls take a look at my arms, they are so fat pls =.="

 
New "I love Daddy" and "I love Mummy" beanies + mittens and booties for baby Renee! I'm simply in love with baby stuffs having these initials on 'em. Haha.

 
I saw these pair of socks going at $4.90 @ OG Bugis, & so without any hesitation I bought 'em home! So cute right?? I love stuffs that are coated in baby pink. It feels so feminine. I really thank God for having a baby girl. It means I could doll her up likea princess! Mummy fantasies lol.

 
Baby Renee's baby cot! Everything is pink in color except for the cot which is dark blue. I wanted to get either a wood color cot or even better, a baby pink cot but my mil was afraid that my next child would be a boy & it would be kinda inappropriate for a baby boy to sleep in a pink cot, thus she got me this. Well, I would loved to have more kids if I have the means to raise 'em. But oh well, lets just see how things goes ^^

 
& last picture shows my nails of the month!! I did 'em all by myself! Clever right? No la, mainly cuz I have nothing to do at home so the only way for girls to relieve their boredom is to either camwhore or to paint their nails. I will only camwhore if I have makeup on. Otherwise NONO. Haha so vain right. Vainpot mummy.
 
Okay, done with the pictures & now it's time for me to have my breakfast + lunch = BRUNCH!
 
BYEEEEEEEEEE <3

Mummy loves you

Hi I'm back for my 2nd post ^^
 
 
 
This picture was taken yesterday showing my #ootd & my 9 months baby bump!
I've gained so much in this pregnancy that I couldn't even fit into 90% of my clothing now.... I remember how slim I used to be (practically underweight to be in fact) & yet now I'm like super fat. Gosh! From a slim 42kg till I'm 54kg now. I'm sure only girls could understand how I feel T.T
 
To add on, I have awful looking stretch marks too. My whole body expanded too much, hence the stretch marks. How am I gonna wear pretty clothing in the future?! I realized I've really sacrificed ALOT for this baby girl. I eat & eat non stop just to satisfy her hunger. P.S I used to eat alot too but I'm one who never gets fat no matter how much food I consume. Of course I'm happy to have her, but to have a sudden change in my body size is alarming to me. Really.
 
I mean, which girl on Earth doesn't wish to look pretty & slim? Only stupid girls wouldn't, cuz they're lazy oops. I really feel fat, but people around me are always assuring me that I don't look fat at all. But look at my flabby arms & pig-like thighs please. They're like my biggest nightmare of all. My arms are fat, my face is fat, my thighs are fat, my butt is exeptionally fat.. What is more to come?!
 
Okay enough of ranting about my body fats..... Shall drop this hideous topic of mine.
 
 
Anyway, I went to my aunt's church christmas musical yesterday & overall the musical was great. But I guess I didn't really enjoyed it because I was feeling very very tired and I was practically dreaming throughout the whole musical though. Just fyi, pregnant ladies can get tired REALLY easily. I could just get tired after walking a few steps out on the streets. Weak body huh haha.
 
I get tired easily but I don't sleep early everyday. I sleep at about 3+ in the morning??? My baby girl's super active in the night. She would start her "morning exercise" in the wee hours every night & how to sleep like that you tell me la?! =.=" She's super active btw (confirmed by my gynae himself). I really hope she wouldn't turn out to be hyper active else it would really want my life la. I can't handle hyper active kids for sure. To be precise, I can't tahan. But if it really turns out this way, I guess I've got no choice but to accept also lor. :/
 
 
OH! Have I told you whats the name of my baby girl? Its Renee ^^ I love this name a lot as it means "being reborn". I find it really meaningful plus it's simple & easy to pronounce. HEHE.
 
Okay, time for me to go. Tada~

I'm officially 9 months pregnant!

Today,

My bb girl is 9 months old in my tummy (which is 36 weeks old). Just a few more weeks to go & she will be popping out from my tummy. I really can't wait for that day to arrive. I can't wait to see her small little face, hold her pair of fragile little hands, touch her pair of soft little legs and cuddle her small little body.

I've learnt and realized alot of things during this whole pregnancy period. I've realized how much bravery a woman has to gear in order to protect her child; how many changes you have to make to your lifestyle just to suit that little life inside you. You have to avoid certain food, which some of it might be your favorite, as it might harm the foetus. It wasn't easy for me to come this far with her. I remember how tough it was for me during the first few months of my pregnancy. Having to face mood swing problems and not forgetting, feeling nauseas every single day wasn't giving me a good life. But I'm glad we made it through and came this far, right?

My husband has been my biggest moral support during this period of my life. I stopped working ever since I was 3 months pregnant with my girl, & all the way he has been the only one supporting this family. Having to face the huge amount of bills every month wasn't easy on him at all. Seeing him so stressed up made me feel terribly upset. I feel that I was the one who landed him in this mess, and I once thought of leaving him for good. But I just couldn't do it. I love him very much. I realized I wasn't understanding enough towards this man of mine, and I tried my best to change. I tried not to give him too much stress and to allow him to do the things that he likes so he would feel better. I tried to give in to him as much as I can. I tried to compromise. I did all I could just to relieve his stress.

Though we still do quarrel, but it's always over minor problems like hygiene. I always have a big issue with his hygiene. I tried to make him understand that hygiene is really VERY important, especially when we are going to have an infant living with us very soon. As you know, newborns are very fragile and prone to getting sick. I want our room to be filled with cleanliness so our child could be healthy. And in the long run, who does it benefit? You of course. If our child is healthy, she wouldn't get sick easily and she wouldn't have to go to the doctor so frequently and you wouldn't have to worry about fees and etc. Sometimes it's really tiring to talk to him about this matter as I've already told him countless of times. I just hope he could understand my intentions :)



Just remember, I love both you and our child. <3
