6 months

Baby is now 6 months!

A lot more obvious movements and I can feel his/her hands stretching near my umbilicus. It's really a wonderful experience :)

We went for our doctor's appointment and was told that I have low amniotic fluid :S Doctor just said "we need to work on this together". That scared me a little. I talked to mothers and friends and am trying to drink plenty of fluids plus tonic drinks/herbs that would help. Only hoping that my baby will be healthy and normal. Nothing more.

Our next check is end of next month. So, let's hope for the best!

Kozue, our Japanese host-sister, came back to visit us. We brought her out for dinner and she kept tapping on my baby bump :) Very cute.

Here are some pictures together.

Also, we spent a week in Singapore for a prayer retreat. It was a very good one. My husband said that it is good to just spend time away from everything and just focus on "life". Which is true. We spent more time together. We prayed. And count our blessings. There are just so much to be thankful for.

Then, when we're hungry and had some free time, we'll walk to Meidi-Ya's bakery called Four Leaf (apparently very famous in Singapore?) to buy our favourite bakery. My husband loves their peanut butter loaf while it'll always be the chocolate croissant for me.

I ate so much until I look like that @_@

And the nurse told me last week during the doctor's check that I gained 5KG since the last visit, which is 1 month ago. :O

I am 54KG now and is the heaviest I've ever been in my entire life. Even my colleagues and boss asked me if I've gained a lot of weight since I got pregnant and specifically after returning from my 1 week retreat in Singapore. I should really cut down on my carbs and take up pre-natal exercise.

Here's a picture of me and my bridesmaids taken during our wedding. I love this picture so much. My wedding planner from The Peak Xperience actually asked me if she could use it for her Cover Photo on Facebook. Of course! You made my wedding really beautiful.

Thank you so so so much again, Natasha :)

We released some boats at a nearby river in Ulu Langat for our ancestors. Don't ask why.

We spent a whole 5 hours at PWTC yesterday. Also swiped a lot on the plastic card (credit card lah). All deposits for things for the house renovation.

Before we went to bed, my husband asked me "So are you happy today? We actually bought a lot of things and all of it are the ones you like?"

I was puffing up my pillow when he asked.

"Yes :) but a lot of money le"

"More to come... we just exceeded the budget for the sink, that's all."

>.<

I love you too :)

XOXO,
