Guess my gender

It has been a hot topic among all my aunties, uncles, jie jie and goh goh. Mum tried to find gender predictor from the website as well as hearsay from lots of mothers. Based on the prediction, I am a boy. Nevertheless, this were all predictions. True answer yet to be found.......

During my 6-month old check-up, doctor asked my mum if she wanted to know my gender. Mum immediately knodded. Doctor then performed the ultrasound scan to search for my dick. I was kind of scare of not knowing what he was trying to do. I flipped around trying to avoid him. After few searches, he identified my dick. It was kind of big in proportion to my body size. Mum was impressed too. Doctor printed a copy of my picture and confirmed that I was a "boy".

Papa and mum were so happy. But they haven't told my grandma and grandpa. Isn't it a good news to share with them??? You know, in chinese traditional family, a boy means a lot to the family.

Changes in MUM

During the first few months, mum was happily fitted into her loose pants and T-shirt. She continued to eat spicy food, seafood, etc. She didn't feel much of my existence.

In the second trimester, mum has to change into maternity pants with a kangaroo pouch and the lumpy maternity shirts. She started to to gain weight in the fifth month. Can you imagine? Mum gained 6 kilos in a month while I was only weighed 564 grams. A huge difference ya?

#1 Mum sleeps with 3 pillows - 1 for the head, 1 for the feet, 1 between the legs. According to experts, this will help to reduce leg cramps, water retention, etc.

#2 She started to change to sleep on the left knowing that this will help supply more blood/oxygence to me.

#3 Mum wakes-up more regularly at night bcoz of the larger uterus pressing on the bladder.

#4 Mum could no longer sit on a low couch that makes her difficult to get-up.

#5 Mum couldn't reach her feet during shower. Mum has serious heartburn recently after having heavy breakfast.....

#6 Mum is clumsier nowadays with the growing uterus and is off balance while walking. She feels tired easily nowadays.

Mama.... Jia You.....& dun get depressed with these changes. It's normal. You need to stay healthy to welcome me to this world.

Mum talks to me more frequently nowadays assuming I can understand her. ?????? I'm approaching 7 months now.

Unfriendly doctor

Mum was introduced by her friend one of the famous gynaes in Jln Ipoh. Unfortunately, she wasn't around during our first visit. However, mum was quite happy with the first visit because doctor said I'd strong heart beat and very healthy. Mum rewarded me two char siew bao from Jln Ipoh. It tasted so good after getting tired of all the Chinese New Year cookies.

Mum resumed her weekly gym workout thinking that this would keep me healthy. Mum has worked extra hard to shed few kilos for the wedding photo shooting. After a tiring workout, mum was shocked to find out blood stain after urine. She quickly went to see the doctor. Without much explanation, the doctor removed a polyp (extra tissue) wihtout much consent from mum and dad. Blur????????? Mum was then given an injection to give me extra nutrients and was on medication for one month. Mum suffered from bleeding for a month. Due to this, mum cancelled the shooting to the next day.

Mum was so worried about me and she felt guilty of causing me problem. She then consulted several friends and confirmed that it was not serious. Huh..... She felt a bit relief. But she was thinking to consult the doctor again and confirmed if I was alright. Doctor was annoyed of mum asking several times until she kept my mum mouth shut and said " I told u oredi, the baby is ok". Hahaha............ What an unfriendly doctor?

Surprise Arrival

Hi aunties/jie jie! I'm "Ah Bi", a name given by my mum, CLK.

Mum has created a blog for me. I am so great to have mum keeping every moment of my life in here.

The story began when I first contacted my mum in her dream during her medan trip. I visited my mum every night but she was too shocked to welcome my arrival.

Later, she broke the news with papa but papa was laughing out at her suspicious thought and advised her to wait for another one month.

One nite, mum has really bad dream that forced her to see a doctor. She was extremely nervous with hands trembling. When it was her turn, she felt uneasy to wait for the doctor's response. The doctor broke the news and confirmed my arrival. Hi mum, this is the first time mum believed of my existence.
