The word confinement on its own sounds way too creepy. It’s as if one is subject to being stuck in a room, held against her will, and not allowed to step out under any circumstances. I can imagine some new moms who had to endure this treatment, listening to horror stories from friends (and friends…

My son, Zachary
Last Saturday (27 March) was my scheduled check up with my obgyn; he did a 2nd internal examination to see how close I was to delivering my baby. To our disappointment, the doctor confirmed that my cervix was still closed, and has yet to even ripen. There was something else to worry about too; I…
Muffin Update #9
My hospital appointment card *WAVES* I’m still here!! Muffin is still “baking” and too comfy inside my belly. After 9 visits to my OB-GYN, our baby is happy sticking around for a while more. Guess I’ll have to see my Doctor for our 10th appointment this Saturday the 27th. I’m really hoping that we’ll get…

Unwell
I’m finally back to the daily grind after getting 3 extra days off (with sick leave mind you) for the Chinese New Year holidays. Pre-CNY I caught the cold bug from David and it was my first time feeling under the weather during the course of the pregnancy. So joyful joyful my CNY holidays started…
Muffin Update #6
Last Saturday was my routine check up with my usual doctor at SDMC. As our appointment was at 10am, we figured the lakeside parking would be filled to the brim, so I suggested that we park at the shoplots opposite SDMC and walk across to the hospital. As we were crossing the busy street, David…
Feeling the load
I’m now in my week 29 of the pregnancy (approx 7 months in) and I’m definitely feeling the load of carrying Muffin Zachary. The 2 flights of stairs to the office is like Mr Wolf huffin-a-puffin’, the 8 hours I sit at my desk at work is like resting on a sharp concrete slab, I…
And his name is
Yes, our soon to be born son will be named Zachary. The name is of Hebrew origin, and is a variant of Zechariah. His name means “Remembered by God”. We’re leaving his Chinese name to David’s parents cos we both don’t read and write Chinese. If it was in our hands we would have merely…
Dizzy bee
The last 2 nights I woke up groaning in agony because of a serious dizzy spell attack and a feeling horribly nauseated. I thought of the worse. I thought my postural vertigo is back to haunt me from my 1st trimester days. Believe me, it is the worst feeling on earth. The room spins before…
