Food cravings or simply pure greed....?

These days the pure scent of food simply perks me up.... I can smell so much these days, fab smells, yucky smells.. and they say its part of the process, our sense of smell will be much more sensitive.

They also say preggy ladies have cravings for certain type of food.. but C calls it pure greed, on me. I am not exactly a foodie but I can gobble down junks should thy stomach growls.

I crave for water cress last night and was disappointed that the soup was sold out at the stall. C was sweet and bought the ingredients for watercress soup from a supermarket where we ate dinner last night. (Ha! Dun try guessing, I am the cook. =) )

The soup is in progress now and I just can't wait. Watched a documentary and it says that the little one will share similar tastes as Mummy as it basically consumes what the mummy consumes.

Guess for the next 9 months, I just have to eat well and eat right, all for Little One.

Best Birthday Gift Ever....

First and foremost, lets toast to my 31 years on planet earth!
Happy Birthday to me! (I'm actually looking forward to the day that Little One will be the one saying this to mummy's face this time next year! )

Okies.. I sound super crazy. That's what C had been telling me. Like my constant mumbling, chanting, giggles to the little one. He told me people who do not know would like I am insane. I believe in infant talk man! Come on, I even plan to get music Cds for Little one to play in the background lor! Let Little one move to the rhythmn.

Anyway... to the more important matters..
Went to the doc last night and no tests were done but Doc mentioned usually the HPT (home pregancy test kits) worked and they are accurate. Little one is 5 1/2 weeks as of yesterday. Doc mentioned to go and start to appoint the gynae we had in mind and made an appointment when Little One ventures into week 8. ( I am like documenting IN THE WOMB, Ha!). That's called the period of gestation.

Me: What's gestation?
Doc: Oh that is the period where the foetus becomes alive. Or in a way, the heart starts beating.
Me: On now it is just..?
Doc: Well, if u do an ultrasound now, you only see a mass of cells. Heart is forming but not beating. Week 6&7, heart forming, start to beat and together with other organs forming.
Me: (how cool!) - I didnt blurt it out. would make me sound like a bimbo mum to be
Doc: Just be careful, take care, do not do jogging, carry heavy stuff or things that make you perspire. Keep calm. (end with a smile)
Me: Thanks

So that's the main highlight of the visit to the GP. I am looking forward to that FIRST appointment with the chosen one. Updates again... and I like to say - This is the best bithday gift ever!

The day that time stood still.....

This says it all....well it stated almost 99% accurate...
planning to go to seek professional help to confirm soon... =)
I'm thrilled!
