33w5d 心情麻麻地

去左深水步睇case + 食大排檔的一天

整日都冇咩情緒問題, 係就係一日仲教五個鐘頭真係多左d, 不過仲handle 到, d 學生又好乖, 我都冇咩所謂。不過成6點幾都未走得, 想出街食飯, 但係而家食野我要更加小心, 好驚影響Midby既皮膚, 唔想佢一出世就生粒粒, 所以千揀萬揀要揀d 好野。

去到夜晚見到Midby爸喇, 我地去黃金shop 個新既細case for部PC, 等我地可以free 番個書桌area出來。可能個computer center 有d 焗, 同埋太濃"男人咪", 我好驚會有細菌搞到我病 (而家係common flu 既peak season), 所以我都唔係好願意去行得太耐。

之後睇完case 就去食飯。如同以往一樣, Midby爸一定會搵定地方同我去食飯, 不過佢搵左一處我地之前去過既地方, 不過唔同檔口, 佢知我鐘意食豬手...但係唔知點解, 我唔係好想食呀! 反而想食d 健康d 既野 (豬手唔係唔健康, 不過營養唔夠Midby仔用嘛)。我行下行下, 都搵唔到decent food 食, 都見去到大排檔o個度喇, 咪是但啦, 點知收左喇。

Midby爸show比我睇openrice既comments, 真係好好喎, 鬼叫已經close左咩。最後去左強記...唉, 唔係唔好食, 但係我好麻煩, 我唔鍾意呢類地方食小菜, 我覺得好貴, $5x-6x一個送, 兩個人食左兩百蚊唔係貴, 但係可以用呢兩百蚊去食d decent d 既食物。

最衰係我食左墨魚餅 (估佢有蝦o係內面, 對唔住呀Midby仔, 媽媽食左1.5件乍), 炸豬頸肉 (希望唔係太熱氣, 我都o係佢凍哂先食), o者o者雞 (一定係打針雞啦, 不過又真係幾好食) 呢d熱氣同埋冇咩益既野, 再加上我既favourite - 蠔仔congee (次次食完都驚d蠔有事, 但次次都要食), 搞到我成個人食得唔係好開心。

之後去食糖水, 叫左個馬蹄黑珍珠, 希望中和我剛才食左既熱氣野啦, 但係又唔100% sure黑珍珠冇問題, 結果都食剩小小比左Midby爸。

番到屋企都9點幾了, 等Midby爸用完bathoom 都已經11:30pm, 唉...我結果又係好夜, 成12:30pm 之後先訓, 仲訓訓下突然醒先叫左出來 - 我估係壓力。

今晚我唔會比自己再有壓力, 我要早訓。

33w4d 廣華第N次產檢

好開心, 如釋重負的一天

由於本來既Check up @ 廣華唔記得左去, 打去再book, book 到今日, 所以唔理三七二十一, 今早又係9點鐘去等。o個d 媽媽就好啦, 唔洗咁早去排, 鬼叫我做呢行, 唔可以成日行開咩, 不過早去就早走, 都好既。

同以前一樣, 都係9點去到, 等一陣去驗尿, 之後就等等等...等足1個鐘先入房見醫生。咁耐以來都冇叫我去check 個weight, 今日當然都冇啦, 不過就叫我check 個blood pressure - 11x, 65, pulse 85。

10點15分左右啦, 我係第二個, 入到去見番上次講分娩的認識個姑娘, 同埋一個好好好young既女醫生, 叫WY Chung, 同我個friend Doris 一樣名, 哈哈! 醫生摸到bb個頭已經調左, 仲話佢個pat pat o係我肚臍o個度, 仲話我左面o個d 係佢既腳仔....o岩喎, 似哂喎!!! 因為Midby 而家成日都o係我左面郁架, 而hiccups 時就o係肚臍右面囉!

不過esdlife有個姐妹話唔準喎, 因為佢都係o係廣華check 左之後去照u/s, 都話未調喎, 搞到我都有d worry! 不過我上兩次去問Dr Wong, 佢都話Midby仔個頭向下, 雖然佢唔係exactly 用呢個wording "調頭", 不過學Midby爸話齋, 唔通"向上"先o岩咩。

之後我同左醫生講尋晚1st次feel到成個肚實哂, 醫生話呢個係叫子宮收縮, 只要唔係持續, 冇痛, 或見紅, 等等, 都唔洗擔心。我其實已經知道哂架喇, 我同Midby爸study 咁多野, 好多野都已經知道, 不過o係醫生口中聽番來, 會再安心d 囉。

最後我就問佢地...(呢條問題我係真心問既, 因為我唔識去解決), 我係唔係最好打側訓, 佢地話只要自己舒服, 點樣訓, even 打平都冇問題。如果打側既就用cushion 幫幫手, 唔係既一定會痛 --- o岩喎! d 人成日叫打側訓, 訓到我幾唔舒服呀! 不過得番幾個星期, 我唔會洗錢去買個cushion 架, 所以今晚我決定會打左面+打平訓, 嘻嘻嘻嘻!!! 最開心既係佢地話我上次blood test result ok!! yeah!!!! 幾驚呀! 我仲以為Midby 仔大隻係因為我有糖尿...我真係好感謝主!!! 又一次令我proud of myself 了!!! 當然我唔會忘記孫教授既功勞架!

放學時, Cement 打比我問候我。估唔到今次同佢咁o岩key, 咁多野講。佢話佢有亞b時, 都係好"粗"下, 行得快, 走得快, 咩都做；我都係呀! 我既philosophy 就係, 多走動, 個人"粗"d, 就會易生d, Cement 都認同架, 所以佢當時只係用左5分鐘就生左個仔出來, 希望我都係一樣啦。

簽左約喇

揀左咁多個月, 終於揀左, 同埋簽左約喇 - Healthbaby。

本來以為cordlife 都有個term - cordblood用唔到, 佢地會搵番個合適既, 點知佢地仲未有呢個服務。我都好肉痛, 本來以為比$26000就搞掂 (Cordlife o係1月31日前join 會減$2000), 不過而家就為左join HB 而比左$31800 (佢地$0.0001 都唔會減, 只係送左兩張 $500 chicco vouchure, 仲係唔唔可以買discounted items 架)

不過算喇...join 左就無謂話貴。我都同左Midby仔講: 媽媽會同你keep 起d cordblood 佢架, 不過唔洗驚, 唔係而家就law 你d cord blood, 係o係你出左世之後, 你唔要d cord blood 喇, 媽媽就同你keep 起佢留念, 因為呢d cord blood 可以比Midby仔做facial, 好靚架!

Dr Wong 上次check up 時講過, 佢話有多餘錢先好keep, 因為而家proven 有用既都係o係血既病度, 講緊係千幾份之一既機會會有事 (千幾份之一都好高risk 喎! 我Esdlife d 姐妹話佢地既醫生話用到既機會係唔知幾萬份之一tim呀), 如果唔係有多餘錢既, 佢就叫我地好好利用幾萬蚊去買保險, 一年幾千蚊, 回報一定好好。

一個令我咁信賴既醫生所講既野, 當然對我有一定既影響。但係再諗深一層, 買保險只係賠錢, 唔係賠cord blood, in case 真係要用到cord blood 時, 最直接既緊係有自己既cord blood啦, Midby爸都講過, 到時有幾多錢都係假, 唔通仲有mood 去用o個d 錢去搵個合適既sample 咩!

今日同我地簽約個哥哥係同上一次一樣, 佢都認得我地, 我o係簽contract 之前再clarify 左幾樣野:

1) 佢用既袋係USA 做既 (因為我驚好似cordlife所講, if 佢地用大陸野咪死!)

2) 9:00am - 9:00pm 會有人收cord blood, 如果after 9:00pm 先生bb既, 就要留言, 佢地第二朝番到工聽到留言就會去pick up d cord blood喇.

3) cord blood 可以o係room temperature keep 到24小時而quality不變...唔知真唔真呢?

4) 如果HB 清盤, 佢地會去搵另外一間公司繼續接管d cord blood

5) 如果化驗結果咁唔好彩顯示d cord blood 有肝炎, aids, 梅毒, etc, 100% 全數退款, 計處理費都退番

6) 如果唔記得帶個盒, 可以去醫院同姑娘講, 但最重要都係帶授權書o係身, 比左醫院/ 醫生, 咁樣佢地先可以做野

7) 由醫生幫手law左臍帶血o個時開始計, 24小時內HB 就會處理好d cord blood + 放埋入去個bank 度

8) 個袋外面仲放多個袋, 防交叉感染 (緊係啦...佢地仲液態nitrogen 乍!!)

9) 將d cord blood 抽出有用幹細胞會用人手, 之後用機器分離兩次 (cordlife 而家用sepax, cryolife 就用APX)。HB 話sepax 唔係新technology, 又唔係有咩咁significant既功效, 所以佢地覺得唔值去用, 而APX 佢地會考慮, 但太新, 所以而家仲observe 緊!

10) $31800 for 18年, one-off payment會送多兩年，即係20年。如果有朋友介紹, 朋友會多送一年, 而我地就會free 到$500 (不過....chicco $1000 vouchures 係同$500 唔可以共同使用, 所以我就只係要左$1000 chicco vouchures 算了)

3萬幾蚊係for 儲20年既又好似唔係太貴。當然我地都會為Midby買埋保險。做左人地既父母先發覺原來而家我地工作搵既錢唔係為左自己, 而係為左後代 -- Midby, 你大個左之後睇番媽媽呢個blog 就會知道媽媽爸爸真係好錫你架!!!

33w2d 都唔記得自己幾多週喇

留家為Midby來臨而作準備的一天

今日唔洗補習, 因為尋朝搞掂 - 早上兩個鐘, 下午去center 又兩個鐘! 哈哈, 個個見到我都驚我辛苦, 都係o個句, 感謝主! 仲好ok 呀我!

講番尋日, 急急腳去左Healthbaby 簽左約, 又係冇聽個talk, 不過算啦, 上去都係為左o係當日即時簽約 law $1000既 chicco coupon (好唔抵得剩係送coupon, 都冇d 實際著數既)。見番上次同我地解釋contract o個位哥哥, 佢都認得我地, 我仲話佢上次都冇gift 我, 所以今次佢就有比我, 仲私人醒左隻Mozart CD 比我, 因為我已經兩次同佢講我想要喇!

Midby爸好好, 佢陪我去坐49X, 車上有個男人望住Midby媽10次以上, 搞到Midby爸成程車"及"住個男人。我上左center 之後, Midby爸一個人仲去左實惠, 為Midby仔既來臨而張羅! (次次Midby爸都係咁架, 佢唔會唔同你做野, 只不過佢會o係last minutes 先訓哂身去做....不過我都好開心架喇, 有佢既input, my life would be a lot easier!)

由於Midby爸約左MBA同學食飯, 我自己一個人番左亞媽度。未有Midby前佢地都已經係好錫我架喇, 有埋Midby仔就更加唔洗講, 我好識得滿足, 雙親仲健在, 仲有氣力去話我, 去管我, 同錫我, 所以我好好好好想Midby仔既來臨係為大家, 特別佢雙老 x 2 帶來歡樂。

姑姐同左亞媽講好耐冇見我, 所以我番左去之後, 佢就叫左姐姑落來, 哈哈, 睇得出佢地真係好緊張我, 我坐得衰d, 佢地就肉緊到不得了。老豆仲叫亞媽同我law d 送出去tim, 緊係唔好啦, 我咪話Midby爸會o係出面遇埋我囉, 亞媽先放小小心。

呢幾日都叫做有d 貢獻, order 左整比書房用既廉, 比埋尺寸我個私人tailor, 去左order 15斤八珍比亞媽, 仲今日送埋貨。星期五, 即係前兩日仲去埋Jusco (以為有咩jetso, 用埋HSBC 買滿$400 有10% rebate 個promotion) 慳左$100, 唉, 就係咁, 我又向難度挑戰, 由6:00pm 行到...番到屋企足足12點幾, 只係買左total$1000左右, 只係慳左$100, 仲要係我想買既野 - 比Midby仔o係醫院帶番屋企著既和尚袍+包被+滿月靚衫 - 全部都買唔到。

不過都叫做有小小收穫 - disney出既, 吊o係床上面比Midby仔望既公仔 (唔係cindy 叫我買, 我同Midby爸係唔會買架!!!)

到今日, order 埋紗巾, pack 下走佬袋既野, 特別係d documents, 應該都7788了。(其實仲有好多野未ok 架...不過基本上唔係太過份囉)

Midby仔真係大個架喇, 佢而家郁郁既力度大左, 佢active 時會令到我個肚皮都郁下郁下架, 書話胎兒而家係20min 休息, 20min 活動, 我仲以為佢o係我晚上zzz時, 都會同我一齊zzz tim, 其實唔係架, 有時我醒左, 我feel 到佢o係度郁郁架, 只不過唔係郁得好勁, 冇day time 咁明顯。

由於時間好似過得好快, 我已經唔再去計我而家幾多w pregnant 了。同時間, 我都叫左Midby爸改左佢MSN 既nickname, 唔好再同我countdown了...sorry 呀, Midby爸!

Baillie 同bb 已經出左院, 佢埋單條數成4萬7, 我聽到都驚! 唉, 點知我洗唔洗開刀呀? 如果開, 咁我條數咪又係咁勁? even 唔洗開, 我又麻煩過人, 想用epidural, 又要多洗成$6k, 人生仔, 我生仔, 點解我唔可以慳d 呢?

我已經申請左兩張credit cards, 希望d welcoming gifts - 1) compass visa, $200 vouchures, 2) DBS, $500 rebate 可以幫補下啦, 我會繼續申請多兩張, hee....希望total 可以慳番一千蚊以上 (唉, 呢一千蚊同醫院同cord blood 條數相比, 真係小巫見大巫呀)

Midby 仔: 媽媽成日都同你講架, 要調頭仔之餘, 都記住幫媽媽順利由產道出世, 唔好比媽媽開刀呀! 媽媽而家唔再食tomato 同carrot, 唔想你照燈, 你都唔洗咁快出來架, o係媽媽肚內吸多d 營養啦, 冇益既就唔好吸喇!

32w6d 心情點滴篇

去護協作最後衝刺的一天

心情好矛盾, 當初未夠3個月時, 好想時間快d過, 成日都好想睇下Midby個樣係點, 但去到30w之後我既心情就180度改變了, 相信同好多孕婦一樣, 好驚去面對”生產”呢個必經過程, 因為:

1) 我一直都知道37w之後有好大機會胎兒會出世, 但冇諗過自己係咁, 我反而有d 擔心Midby遲遲唔肯出世。可能受亞May同Sonia影響, May’s bb比EDD遲左幾日, 而Sonia 兩個bb都係39w幾先出世, 所以我以為自己都係呢d cases。但點知幾日前, Baillie @37w幾就生喇……呢個impact 對我好大影響, 我計計條數, 我而家距離37w得4w 乍, 好驚!
2) 我咩都未準備好, 因為工人都未到, 自己又衰, 咩都未買好, 我唔似得Cindy咁有planning, 我又唔似得sonia 同baillie佢地咁隨心, 見到有野o岩就去買, 我又煩, 一係唔買, 一買又想揀d 靚既同埋….平既, 咪搞到而家咩都未買齊。好在幾日前@大圍姿彩order 左八百幾蚊野, 有哂chuchu奶瓶同埋好多包濕紙巾, 今日去多次護協買多兩個chuchu glass bottle大既, 買埋兩個bra, 同埋收腹帶…應該唔係太多太多野未ready o者!
3) 未做運動 – 呢個或者係個main factor令到我心情沉重左。一直最驚係痛, 真係好驚痛。由最初打算用epidural, 到而家有d 想唔用, 因為想先試下ding 唔ding 到先又同時可以慳番幾千蚊, 我都struggle 左好多次了。我最希望既係我可以子宮順順利利開哂比Midby仔出世, 唔洗用藥, 但係我無用, 報唔到呼吸班, 又報唔到咩野產前運動班, 自問又唔係運動多, 都唔知到時點樣可以令子宮快d 開, 等Midby仔出來。可唔可以話我知, 我而家得咁少時間, 點樣可以”將勤補拙”呀?
4) 問左Dr Wong, 佢話我可以先試下ding 唔ding 到痛, 唔需要驚冇麻醉師stand-by, 因為手術好多時都係要突然間做, 麻煩師有成一team咁多, 到時我ding 唔到先叫麻煩師來都可以, 但當然比多幾千蚊啦! 人生仔, 我生仔, 生得貴過人, 好無用, 我d 勇氣o係邊? 點解我唔可以學我亞媽咁, 一個人作動坐車出去QE生我呢?
5) 工人又未到, 到左又擔心佢唔好, 如果佢唔好, 我又擔心我奶奶唔鍾意, 佢唔鍾意就big pan了。唉…唔請又煩, 請左又要train, 最衰係我地冇經驗嘛! 太早叫佢來又唔係太好, 唔想咁快屋企多左個人; 太遲又驚到時已經生鬼左, 又驚到時我未生都冇氣力去train 佢, 所以都係快快手叫佢過來算喇
6) DHA 既灌溉期太短 – 我應該早多一個月前就食supplement 啦, Midby爸已經叫我快快手去買, 但我真係買唔落手呀, 唔睇choice magazine既report都唔知有咁多supplement既trans-fat 同saturated fat 咁高, 我食左仲有命既? 千揀萬揀既Barleans 又唔係度度有得買, 我都係由30w 幾開始食乍, 當時以為大把時間, 以為自己40w 先生, 即係仲有成10w 去比Midby吸收啦, 點知而家計計下, 大獲喇, 30w-37w, 即係唔夠兩個月…人地話最後3個月係黃金時間呀! 對唔住Midby…不過媽媽都每個月食魚, 同埋飲魚湯, 希望呢d non-深海魚都有DHA 比你吸收啦! 話時話, 你個頭仔比例上大, 係唔係叻女d, 定係人地所講頭大裝草呀? 哈哈!
7) 胎教progress 停濟不前 – 由4個月開始我就胎教, 同Midby仔傾下計, 教下佢d 生字, 但呢個月就差勁了, 因為每晚都會為唔同野而忙, 搞到上床時已經過左12點, 又為左比Midby爸同Midby傾計同埋我massage, 我就間中skip 左我同Midby 上堂呢一part! Midby呀, 你會唔會出左世之後唔認得媽媽把聲? 又唔認得爸爸把聲架? 我真係虎頭蛇尾, 早知將d effort 唔好咁早o係你4個月時就投放哂啦, 當時你對耳朵同埋腦仔都冇而家咁發達!
8) 休息唔夠 – 連同Midby上堂傾計都少左, 我邊會有時間去休息呀。我好感恩既係到而家我都仲未影累, 不過唔好喇, 真係11點半好去訓喇….我想比個好既bio clock Midby!
9) 未去胎毒 – 呢一兩個星期出街食dinner 多了, 對唔住Midby! 呢d 又係虎頭蛇尾, 最初o個幾個月勁小心飲食, 而家有好多野都食, 有d 係唔應該既, 好似spicy野, curry 呀, 我最忍唔到口既唔係魚生, 而係spiky野, 真係無用。但就因為Midby大個喇, 我食咩佢就食咩, 佢既皮膚就視乎我食咩落肚, 所以我已經叫左媽咪整湯水比我去胎毒, 但都好似未夠喉咁既。
10) 總之….一切都係因為心情仲未ready! 時間可唔可以唔好過得太快, 比我做多d 準備, 無論心理上或身理上呢?

咩野都經過我把口變得好exaggerating! 我講就講我心情唔係太好, 不過相比好多大肚媽媽會有nightmare, 我已經好幸福了, 希望我快d 以+ve既心情去面對Midby仔既來臨啦!

32w5d Midby爸春茗日

做facial 的一天

記得上一次做facial已經兩個月前既事, 當時係6個月多d。Apple仲以為我生左, 咁耐都唔去。佢o個時已經話我個肚唔細架喇, 不過就話我冇變樣。到今日去做facial, 佢見到我時話”wa, 個肚好大喇”。緊係啦, 食飯架, 唔大就驚喇!

而家越來越大膽, 對上o個次6個月去做facial, 都驚佢幫我massage會影響bb, 又驚佢用d 野會影響我同bb。但今次真係冇理咁多, 由佢用咩, 由佢massage! 人地有經驗, 緊係識handle 架喇。我做完facial 之後問佢生完之後點減肥同埋去肚紋, 佢就話肚紋就冇計架喇, 因為d 皮膚”裂”開左, 叫我繼續用d 膏, 反而減肥就有得做。佢話我因為生女, 個樣唔會變樣衰, 個鼻唔會變大, 仲問我有冇化妝, 如果冇化妝面色都咁好就一定生女, 哈哈! Thank you wow, apple 姐!

不過我唔係care 個樣呀, 我好好彩, 正如apple 所講, 我上身冇擔心過, 我擔心係個肚以下既地方。個pat pat 呀, 都唔知咩事, 未有bb之前係大, 係多d 肉, 但大脾都唔係咁勁架嘛, 而家連脾都大埋, 抬我上山, 可以食足7日7夜呀! Apple checked 過我下身, 佢話唔係水腫, 如果係水腫仲易搞, 通幾次淋巴就搞掂。至於我既問題係因為我個bb 大, 肚大, 所以下身會盤骨擴大, 可以夠位比bb 住, 佢話生完之後會細番, 唔洗驚喎…佢反而驚我個肚, 叫我一定搞搞個大肚, 叫我一定用收腹帶。

希望承佢貴言, 生完不費吹灰之力就減番呢三十幾磅啦!

PS: 上次Midby 爸o係1月8日公司annual dinner 時, Midby 仔o係我個肚度ding 下ding 下, 搞到我好唔舒服, 我都驚佢今次o係爸爸唔o係屋企時又咁對我, 好在冇乍!!
