RE: It's some clothing for Adelle*

The clothing above is from my favourite French Design boutique..
The full month rompers which dear and I had got it for Adelle...





Fox brand of clothes age 12-18mths
Given by ''huining yiyi'' to Adelle





Another set of fox baby wear aged 12-18mths too
Same thing was given by huining yiyi






Today marks Adelle 31 weeks in my tummy.In another less than 9weeks more to go,she will be out to see the world.Dear and myself are looking forward to this special moment to come.
But recently,starting from this week I felt some mild cramp.Was this contraction then?


Had understand from dear when he read somewhere in the website that during the third trimester,there tend to have some on and off cramp.At the same time,I had checked with Doc Ong,he agreed on that too.He said it can last up to 3-5times per day.
So long as the cramp is mild,it's perfectly fine.


I'm getting more and more excited over the arrival of baby Adelle.I wished for her to be healthy and wished for my delivery to be a smooth one.
I must pray hard for that.



Some days ago,dear and myself decided to get Adelle full month clothes.In the end,I decided on the above rompers.Same design,but different colours,different age group.
Therefore it depends on which size suits Adelle during her one month.
Plus,this store that sells babies clothing is one of my favourite store,the french design boutique.I believe when time to come,I will be purchasing most of Adelle clothing from this store.



Not forgetting that Ning,my dear sisters had purchased two sets of toddler wear from Fox for Adelle.Ning really do dote on her niece so much..*smile*She had even purchased this set of gifts for her even before Adelle arrival.


Based on her style,I believe she will get more for Adelle again.The reason for saying so was that,Ning simply loves babies clothing and couldn't give it a miss in purchasing them jus like I do.
But anyway,really thank her for the purchase,as both herself and hui are the only thoughful people that will think of getting clothing for Adelle's just before she comes.

RE: Baby Adelle at week 30,now she weighs 1.6Kg


Adelle at week 30 and 5days,
now she weighs 1.6Kg




The report of my glucose test,it's a pass...







Didn't report for work but gonna go for my gynae check up today.It's the appointment day after 2weeks plus since the last check up.This time round,mum went with me for the check up.
It was a hassle having to check the temperature and sterilize the hands before entering the hospital.


As mentioned mum went with me due to dear heavy work load.She had tons of questions for me when we entered the clinic.Perhaps it's her first time with me for the check up made her more excited then.


Appointment scheduled at 930am,in front of me was 3mummies going for their routine check.
By the time it was my turn,it's already past 10am.
Just before entering Dr Ong room,I had to take this urine test every time I go.



Well,finally it's my turn entering into the room.Dr Ong greeted us with a happy face as usual.
He had always said this,how are you.
And there started our conversation.Dr Ong was quite concern about my weight gain again.He had advised or even ''nag'' at me for trying to control my diet,as I had already put on a total of 15kg since the first month of pregnancy.Which I still had another nearly 2months to go.


I did told Dr Ong that I don't take supper,don't take heavy meals,even my portion of rice had already cut into half.Dr Ong was puzzled too about how my weight gained from?
He had mentioned that if I were to put on further weight,I will experience backache when I reach the final term of pregnancy.


Dr Ong had asked about the hospital which I would like to give birth at.In order to let him know no later by 34weeks,as his staff can get the paper work done.
Without further discussion,I had told him that I will be choosing Mount Alvernia hospital.
Which he had recorded it down so as to prepare the necessity.
There's this topic where he had asked if I had packed my hospital bag?I was like got to be so fast?I'm only 30th weeks..



Now,it's time for checking the baby.This is the sentence which Dr Ong will always put in his mouth.This time round Adelle had gained 500g since the last check up,with her total weight now is 1.6Kg.Dr Ong had mentioned that Adelle weight is acceptable,but not for me.*sad*


Seeing Adelle again,and this time round I capture Adelle trying to place her thumb into her mouth through the ultrascan.Her head was big and she was lying at the same position as last check up.Her head was on the right side of my belly facing downwards.



*With another 7-9weeks more to go,Adelle gonna station herself in the right postion till birth..*

RE: Baby Adelle at week 30 and the stuff which we had got it for her_//

It's finally 30th weeks of pregnancy.
Stepping into the digit 3..




This tummy was taken at week 29






The book made of cloth which I strongly encourage mummies using it.
It won't hurt the infant when they flip through the pages,and
it's educational with the learning of different part of the face.




The next page shows some wording and picture...
It had a few pages showing tongue,mouth,eyes,nose





Finally found the CD of nursery rhymes which I had purchased
years ago when I was teaching.Supposedly for the little pre schoolers,
now for baby adelle



Upon my request,dear had got this(play gym) just last evening..
The picture above shows how it should be displayed.





This is the front view of a play gym...







Today mark my 30th weeks of pregnancy.Another 70days to go before holding Adelle in our arms.We yearn for such moment to come.Had taken the above photo during my 29th weeks.
Be it a big or small tummy,you guys shall judge for me..
Seriously,to be I do find it a small one,but there are many others who told me I'm having a real big tummy.I really can't tell then.



We had got a couple of things for baby Adelle.Let me introduce one by one now.
Firstly the play gym.Right,we had got this just last evening for Adelle.This play gym is on flower theme,where there some on animals theme.
This play gym is very similar to what we had seen from the fisher price play gym.We decided to get this instead as the very basic stuff was already in the play gym.
The purpose of the play gym was to create eye and hand coordination for the infant.Is a kind of motor skills too.
Shall place this play gym in her room after we finish decorating her own sweet sleep room.




Next coming up will be this CD and booklet of nursery rhymes from apple tree.Had gotten this marvellous stuff a few years back when I was still in the teaching line.This CD of nursery rhymes finally comes in handy no doubts that I no longer teach anymore,but can apply it on baby Adelle then.Almost play those songs every night for Adelle other than the normal mozart music.
Shall place this CD of nursery rhymes in her bedroom for her to listen.
Will be so familiar to her,as she had been listening it ever since in her mummy womb.






Lastly,this book made of cloth is another educational stuff which I must have at least 2 to 3 of them for little infant.Again,this book of face parts made of cloth was purchased during my teaching time.It's suitable for infants to hold without hurting them as it was soft.Not to worried about infant tearing the book apart too.At the same time as the book gets dirty,just do some washing and it can be reuse again.
It's a book on knowledge.Even though infant at this age doesn't know much,but it's kind of a way to make them learn while holding a ''non dangerous book''




Play gym and book made of cloth was strongly recommended by my lecturer when I went for the infant course a few years back.Hoping to put in use for my little one next time.
And for now,I can finally put it in use for our princess,Adelle...

RE: Adelle fox clothing 2


The below purchase now became my hobby





A dress for baby Adelle..
(suitable for 3-6mths)




A pants with blouse
(suitable for 6-12mths)




And it became like this when match



A pants and blouse
(suitable for 6-12 mths)






And it became like this when match together..








Really can't resist myself for not buying the above clothing for baby Adelle.The clothing for infant are simply too cute and nice.
But hang on,this time round I didn't get any newborn wear for Adelle.In fact,I got those clothing ranging from 3-6mths or 6-12mths.



Used to spend part of my salary on clothing for myself,perhaps for now on it's only for baby Adelle.Every time I popped by any shopping mall,straight away I will get in to the store that sells infant wear.This style of shopping had slowly come into my hobby for now.



All I wanted to do for now is to get as many stuff for baby Adelle as possible.I bet that there won't be any energy for me to source for nice clothing upon her birth,as by then I will be very busy with her.
Still in the midst of finding her full month celebration clothing.I gonna act fast before June comes.



By early June,will be the time to do the washing of her new/passdown clothing. It seems that I am now lacking of time.



*Now I'm tear between Essence or Kodomo baby clothes detergent.*

RE: Now into my 28weeks of pregnancy.._//

Appointment today at Dr Ong clinic






Baby Adelle now weighing at 1.1kg for a 28weeks of pregnancy




Dr Ong wanted me to apply this at any part of the body
due to the very dry skin which I now had...




Somehow I am so in love with this knit bath towel,
which had the same brand as the receiving blankets..







The appointment starts at 830am for my glucose test this morning at Dr Ong clinic.We were there slightly before the time of appointment.
Nurses at the clinic had asked if I had done my ''fasting'' since last night after 10pm.
In fact,I did!!!And the problem was I felt very nausea without any food since 10pm last evening till this morning at 11am.
I managed to survive this time round just for the test.


Had my first round of urine and blood test.After which was given the glucose drink and was suppose to finish it up within that 10mins.Rested for 2hours for the glucose drink to get down into the body.Another round of blood and urine test gathered after the ''tasty glucose drink''...



In fact,I had 2 rounds of blood test and 2 rounds of urine test.This was to test for diabetes,and result be out in a few days time.
The glucose drink tasted so much like orange juice,just that it will somehow make the throat felt funny...


In between the 2hrs of waiting time,we were given a time slot to see Dr Ong for a scanning to check on baby Adelle.Dr Ong had asked if I could feel Adelle kicking,which I shouted,just minutes ago before coming into his room,Adelle was kicking so hard and strong.



Now,it's the scanning part...Feeling nervous and excited,we look at the screen where we get to see baby Adelle again.As she gets bigger,we could only see the face and the upper part of the body,the rest of her body part will be seen only when Dr Ong scan the other side of my stomach.
The above scan was just one part of her body and her head.


Everything is normal,and now baby Adelle weighs 1.1kg for 28weeks,which Dr Ong consider her as having a normal weight.He assured us that this is very normal and nothing to worry about for her weight.


Having a very dry skin for all part of my body,this included my tummy and the arm.Dr Ong introduced this lotion for me to apply for any prevention of dry skin.
Do hope it will help..





This knit bath towel,I simply love it so much..It was such an unqiue design,where we'll use it to wrap baby Adelle next time before placing her in the bath tub.It's meant to be a towel where we can actually wrap her up before and after her bath.
Other than the plain normal white towel,we got her this knit bath towel as well.




*Now,my mind set was to get more nicey stuff for baby Adelle...In the hope that she has the nicest things on earth when she arrives.*

RE: More stuff coming in for baby adelle_//



We made another major purchase today...







The newborn clothing which was purchased by
my cousin for us...It was kind of her....


Another pack of Pigeon cloth napkins which added up to a
total of 20 cloth napkins that we've got right now...





After much consideration,
we decided to get the Avent milk bottle for baby Adelle...




We ended up at BHG Bugis Junction Branch again!This time round to get the milk bottle as well as some extra cloth napkin for baby Adelle.


Decided on Avent milk bottle..Initially was thinking between Pigeon and Avent feeding bottle after reading the good and bad feedback from ex users.Eventually had decided to get Avent feeding bottle instead.
We have got the following,

125ml=3 bottles
260ml=3 bottles

We still lack of the Avent milk warmer and Avent Sterilizer which will most likely to come in next month.As for the teats,we decided to wait till Adelle is born before getting one,as the teats wont wear out that fast from the above bottles we had got.
Talking about the pacificer,dear doesn't like the idea of letting Adelle having one.But still,we will get one Avent brand just in case Adelle cries badly for it,if not we won't intro any to her at all.





The Pigeon cloth napkin was our choice.There was another brand,Tollyjoy.We didn't managed to get that,as I much prefer the Pigeon brand of cloth napkins.
We had a total of 20pieces right now,still short of 10pieces to come.Heard from a forum friend that,we need a couple of cloth napkins if we wanna let the little infant wear it during the day.





A kind cousin of mine from dad side of relative had actually got baby Adelle some brand new newborn clothing,towels,booties and mittens.Was kind of thankful as for a few weeks ago,she had asked me whether I had got my stuff,which I did mentioned to her about baby clothing,which we still lack of a few pieces.She had suggested that,she will try asking some pass down clothing from her sister in law.
Who knows,she had gotten us some of the above mention items.




More or less we had gotten our stuff.It's only the baby bathing and mummy care items yet to purchase,which we gonna do it when coming to June.
Plus we will start decorating Adelle room when it comes to end May,where the playpen and mattress will be delivered during that period.


As for the formula milk,we will only get it after I had done with my breast feeding which provided that I had this milk supply of course.Same thing goes for the breast pump.Will only be useful when I needed to go back to work,as before that mostly likely to use latching method for the first few months.



Just yesterday,our final lesson with Mrs Wong,she had taught us about breast feeding,and the hygiene method for cleaning the milk bottle..It was a real good lesson afterall...



Lastly,about the diapers..Well we had decided to get Nepia brand.It's a Japanese brand of diaper,which was strongly recommended by one of my forum friend.Shall try it out on baby Adelle to see if she is fine with this brand of diaper.



Now looking forward to the coming July....

RE: The stuff for baby Adelle_//


The cloth napkins,napkin liner and receiving blanket for baby adelle




The sleepwear that we had got it for adelle





Winnie the pooh bedsheet and the flat pink pillow
for adelle playpen



We had purchased a playpen and
a 3inch thick mattress for it.







Firstly about the cloth napkin and napkin liner which we had got it from the warehouse located at Kaki Bukit.We had decided to let baby Adelle wearing the cloth napkin during the day time so as to avoid any rashes.The napkin liner was to be place on top of the cloth napkin so that to absorb the solid stuff.In this case,we gonna do lesser washing on the cloth napkin itself.
As for the cloth napkins,understand from a forum friend of mine that we gonna have at least 30pieces.Right now we are still short of about 20pieces then.





The receiving blankets above was a standby for baby Adelle to receive her upon birth.
We actually got a set for her already.The above two was a standby then,and we can even use it as her sleeping blanket when there is a need to.



Sleepwear,we still lack of at least 3 sets.The pass down sleepwear was not much then,that was why we needed to get a few more set.Personally,I felt that during confinement month,we gonna wrap a baby like a ''dumpling'' to prevent any wind from getting in.
Therefore long sleeves shirts and pants are strongly needed.



We have got a pink playpen for baby Adelle then just over the weekend.Shall place her playpen in her pinkish room that was already reserved for her ever since we shifted over to Coris.
Now,the arrival of the playpen will be in May then.The reason why we arrange for end of next month delivery was that,by June we still have a bit of time for decorating the room before baby Adelle arrival.
Other than a pink playpen,we've got her a pink bedsheet and pillow as well.



Still left with a cupboard for her where we can dump all her stuff in there.
Shall keep a lookout for a cupbaord soon...
