My heart is melted

I love surprise so much! He brings home a bunch of white roses on his way back today. I am flattered because we like white flowers. And this bunch is in its full bloom. I am showing off to Kailan now...

Nursery Chair

First piece of furniture arrived today. 

My nursery room is so small that we could not get a one-seater sofa. So I have to source a compact and comfy chair. Got this from Ikea, quite economical too. Kailan is loving it!! She is just camera shy. :)

Stretch marks prevention...

First of all, I am prepared to have stretch marks because my mom got them, lots of them!! I believe this is genetic! But I am still hoping that I can get rid of them in the end. I am keeping my mind positive while preparing for the worst. 

Before 12 weeks, I bought the almond oil from loccintaine. I did not have a belly by that time, but I still put the almond oil on...

As my belly started to show slightly, mother court sales promoted mambino set to me. I loved the citrus smell so I switched it. But Ah Lun said I smell like 果皮蒸魚. Okok, I won't stop because of his comment. 

One month later, Sally sent me two bottles of Clarins body treatment oil. It's so expensive, so I am really grateful. But you know, when you apply the oil to the skin, you have to be generous to keep skin eleastic. It's heartbreaking when you see the oil running out quickly! The smell is so classy, like the spa products. But Ah Lun had another comment on the smell even though it smells so good. This guy is just hard to be pleased. 

Not sure if I will change it again in the last trimester but it seems it is the best product advised by Sally. Let's see.

Our first prenatal workshop!

I just did not want to waste time to attend sponsored workshops for new parents. After checking with my colleague who attended the class from Union Hospital, she said it's not promising and there were too many people there. After knowing this, I know I want something efficient and not hard sell. 

I found one workshop to be conducted in small class. The cost is $1080 for 4 classes and each class takes only 2 hours. It's comparatively shorter and sounds like a more experiential workshop. The class was conducted by a midwife, so it sounds like professional. The class also taught us how to hold new born babies, this is the most useful part in class 1. Ah Lun and I had a chance to practice. 

Playing with this fake baby! Breast feeding...by dad. 

So creepy! The baby looks real. 

Though the workshop was not sponsored by any organization, we did get some freebies! But during the class, the teacher never mentioned the products. Very good. 

Summer sunsets

Last year, we watched a lot of sunsets on our drive home or we specifically drove to places like Sheung Wan and Kwun Tong to take pictures of sunset. 

This year, I am so busy (Two roadshows in Q3 and one staff is leaving!!) I usually leave office after 7 now. It's our first sunset picture this summer when I left office at 7. The nature is so pretty, and I really like summertime. 

IKEA

Nesting in progress. We are looking for a comfy nursing chair with arm rest. In the past, Franc Franc had some attractive chairs in bold colours. But in the last two seasons, they did not have any great looking chair. 

I finally buy a $799 ikea padded chair. My nursery room is too small to fit in a one-seater sofa, so have to find a seat that's compact. 

We decided to make our second visit on on a week night to avoid the crowd. But the ikea cafe is still very very full. Ah Lun ordered almost everything on the menu but saying he is not full when he left. 

I mainly had the salmon, one veggie potato cake and chips. The rest were consumed by Mr Tse.

係由女士讓座，yeah!

Leg Cramp #1

I have been worrying about this for a long time. The leg cramp almost happened a few times, but I managed to flex my muscles to stop them. 

Yesterday was a long day. Finished work at 7pm. After having dinner with ah Lun, I continued working at home until 11:30pm. 

Not sure if this was a long day causing me leg cramp. But it was really bad, the sad thing was Ah Lun was not around incidentally in the bedroom. Ouch...... This was so painful. 

Sunday morning...

It's a productive morning because we went to TST after Ah Lun has finished his early morning job. 

Harbour city was so spacious and quiet on Sunday morning and there were only a few mainland tourists. 

We need to buy something from LogOn, got a Japsnese CD, had a quick lunch at food court, followed by a tour at City Super. Wow, everything just finished before 12noon. How amazing!!

Since the car park was deserted, I requested for a picture to be taken there. The only comment from Ah Lun is I looked like 高達...... He enjoyed himself taking the picture from a nice angles itch the dramatic sky. 

26 weeks 6 days. Very happy that I still could wear this vest. I just need a Bella band to lie underneath. 

Sunny Sunday!
