Back To Swimming!

Yeah! Finally this month Z is back to his swimming lesson! Z was very excited and so was Jiejie! She helped him to put on his goggle, so sweet! I thought it may take some time for him to get used to the pool but I was with wrong! He was like a fish in the pool. Eerrrr.... No! He was like a RABBIT in the pool. Hahaha.... Coz he was so excited that he was jumping up and down when he got into the water and the coach has to ask him to continue with what he was supposed to do! Hahaha...

I was glad when the coach told me Z remembered his strokes and he doesn't have problem at all. I wondered if he has been secretly practicing his strokes on the bed (the coach used to tell him that) and if he did, I didn't see it. Hehehe... Z also told me coach said next week he will be combining his strokes and breathing together. Yes! We are all happy!

Picture Of LZ

We were at Raffles City.... Z saw the cow and insisted that I took a pic of them with it. Look at how vain they are! How can I leave home without my hp when they love taking pictures and I am 'addicted' to taking their pics! FYI, I took most of the pics with my hp.

Beanie @ 14+ Weeks

L has Chinese Enrichment lessons with the school every Saturday for 2 months, I forgot and booked Beanie's checkup today. Remember I told L she will get to see Beanie the next checkup? I didn't want to disappoint her but at the same time, we didn't want her to miss any lesson. Finally we decided to rush to the clinic for the checkup and L can go for her lesson. Like very BIG deal hor? It is, for us!

Z was so funny! Before we go, he excitedly asked if he can get to hug Beanie! Hahaha.... I had to explain to him again that he will get to hug Beanie in February (probably) and he will only see Beanie through the scan. L was laughing at Z for being so silly...

I hoped that we didn't have to wait long for our turn and my wish was granted. We waited for about 15 mins only. I was worried when I stepped onto the weighing scale coz last checkup, I put on 1+ kg and Doc already warned me about my weight gain. Phew! I put on only 700g for this month! Yeah! This is the very FIRST time throughout my 3 pregnancies that I put on less than 1kg!

Beanie @ 14+ weeks, 78.3mm.

The highlight of the checkup was of coz LZ get to see Beanie! I was lying on the bed with Doc next to me and my 3 lovely ones were struggling to see where's Beanie. LZdaddy carried Z while L struggled looking at the screen. My poor girl.... They listened to Doc as she was pointing to the different body parts of Beanie. I think Beanie sleeps a lot and not as active as jiejie, more like Z. We saw Baby's little stomach, spine, little waving hands, little kicking legs and eye sockets etc.... So exciting! Then I asked the question that has been on my 3 loved ones' mind. Is Beanie a BOY or a GIRL? Doc scan around and told me chances of Beanie is a GIRL is quite HIGH! Wow! Of coz, it is not confirm yet.

LZ were very well behaved throughout and I praised them for being such good kids.

So far, everything is fine for us but I have stop taking my vitamin, Glucosamine. That means I will have to bear with my knee ache. Doc told me my joint will hurt more as time goes and I can foresee it that when I put on my weight. I just hope I don't have any backache but then again, I can foresee that will happen also, just like my past 2 pregnancies. My backache was so bad then that I have to see an orthopedic surgeon and he can't do anything about it. Whatever it is, I know I will enjoy this pregnancy with my 2 babies cheering me on and of coz my dear hubby.

Followup Checkup - Z

Z had his followup checkup (for his elbow injury) today and I was very happy to hear what the doc said! According to the x-ray, Z has fully recovered! Yeah!

LZdaddy accompany L to the food court to have her meal so it was only Z and me at the x-ray area. He was such a goody boy to go in to the x-ray room on his own, knowing that I can't go in with him.

Doc go through the x- ray result and told me that he can't see the crack anymore which is a good news. Then he asked Z to do some hand movements to make sure that he has recovered. The best part for Z must be when I asked Doc if he can go back for swimming lesson and he said yes. Z was so happy when he heard that and so was I!

We were given an open date for 2 years before we go and let hope he doesn't have to go anymore.

Teacher's Day Gifts

No matter how moody I am on Thursday, I have to keep my promise to my kids to bake cookies with LZ for their teachers. I think it was good that I did baking with them and it kept me busy the whole afternoon. It was LZ's idea to bake for their teachers and I thought it was a good idea too. I think homemade gifts is more meaningful.

I managed to find an easier recipe for the kids to handle. These were the cookies that we made on Thursday for their teachers. They were in charge of the measuring and mixing. Of coz I was the one in charge of the oven.

I decided to print the cards out as Z was frustrated trying to write on the small piece of papers. The whole day he kept nagging me to hurry print out the cards but I didn't get to do it till late at night. Those with yellow cards were for L's teachers and those with green cards were for Z's teachers. L had 7 bags to give out and Z had 6 to give out. I made one extra each for them just in case we missed out any teachers. I was glad I did that coz both decided to give to another teachers each.

On top of baking for the teachers, Z insisted that I bake M&Ms cookies for his friends. They had a small celebration in class, so Teni (Joash's mommy) and I decided to make something for the kids. I was planning to buy snacks but my dear boy said no. When I was about to start baking, I realised I ran out of brown sugar! Arrgh! I had to wait for LZdaddy to buy it! And he didn't come home till midnight! I 'forced' him to cut the homemade cards for me and packed the cookies. Hehehe.. I was glad I took a nap while waiting for him... By the time I am done with the baking, it was already 4AM! I was so tired by then coz I have been sleeping very early since I found out I was pregnant.

L told me her friends also have things to give to teachers so they went to the teacher's room and 'hunt' around for their teacher's tables and place the cookies on it. She managed give out all before school starts. She also told me the school had a mini concert for the teachers, organised by the PSG mommies.

Z wanted me to go to school with him and I don't mind. I would like to help him give out the cookies, worried he might forget any of the teachers. Actually, Z doesn't have so many teachers but he likes to give out to teacher who has took care of his class when her main teacher was on MC and also his ex-teachers. I thought it was very sweet of him. I left as soon as I went around with him to give out the cookies. Z told me that his friends enjoyed the cupcakes and cookies which Teni and I had prepared. I think it was more like a Children's day celebration. Hahaha...

For my 'hard' work, LZdaddy decided to 'reward' me by going breakfast with me and we had a wonderful couple time.
