Today is my date with Burger! :)

She has grown some flesh on her face!!!!! I can visually see her cheeks with flesh!!! ^_^ So lovely cheeks!  This time she doesn't move a lot but she puts her hands cover her chin! :P What a lady! :)

Her arms are still very long (as long as a normal 31 wk baby!) and her head and legs are around the mid-29 weeks average. Yet her belly is still smaller. But the "estimated due date" by her overall size is exactly the same as my EDD!!! Good! She's now 1460g; i.e.  3.2 lbs already! ^^

[I checked the chart again; this time, Burger is on the 75 percentile curve!! Wow! Good job baby... but don't be too fat :P you're a gal]

蔡醫生話成份藥食一次，跟住無乜大事就唔好再食~ 成個週末都過得 OK，點知尋晚又唔舒服，食左「止肚痛」藥都唔得。

今朝起身，覺得 BURGER 好似 MOVEMENTS 少左添，唔知係唔係我痾得太勁 FEEL 唔到 BURGER 既 MOVEMENT? 有 D 擔心，打電話去問蔡醫生可唔可以食止痾藥同羅病假紙，點知蔡醫生話要再聽下個肚~

落到去，唔晒等好耐，蔡醫生一放個聽筒係個肚到，BURGER 就郁到突起 :P 安心晒 :P 蔡醫生話止痾藥或多或少都會影響子宮收縮，所以呢個週數 (29 WEEKS) 已經唔可以亂用啦~ 好在問一問 JER~

頂唔順，星期六都去看醫生！醫生話要食清淡 D，希望快 D 痾清 D 菌。

看完醫生，本來想去買冷，我織比 BURGER 件背心，織織下唔夠冷，停左兩個幾月 :P 點知老闆娘未開門 ><

行行下等媽咪同 KAKIN YOGA 放學，行左去一間日韓時裝店，以前賣日本大人野多，原來宜家有好多小朋友野，BB 野都有，但唔多~ 我買左三對 SOCKS!!!! 好 CUTE!!!!! 不過媽咪同 KAKIN 見到話「好細，BB 唔好係大腳八，OTHERWISE 著唔到」@@ 係咩? 寫住 0 - 6 MONTHS，我估 OK 添~

今早要到醫院去進行傳聞中很難受的糖水測試！
八點半要到醫院，對我來說已是十大酷刑 ><

很難得的一天，跟 KAKIN 一起下樓，卻苦無 TAXI；唯有去坐小巴。坐上小巴只是八點十分，卻一直等到十七分才開車！我的天！我一定遲到了！

八點四十分到醫院，應該不算太糟吧 :P 程序先是抽血、五至十分鐘內喝完 350 CC 糖水、等兩個小時、再抽血。網絡上流傳這兩個小時將會過得很慢，沒人陪的，最好帶備解悶工具。雖然 IPHONE 很方便，但萬一 FB 媽媽 GROUP 很安靜，那有 IPHONE 還是會很難過，所以我帶了 KINDLE 還 DOWNLOAD 了一本育兒書的試讀本。但原來我們醫院有安排 VIDEO 給我們看喔！VIDEO 的內容正是這間醫院產前講座的內容，包括分娩程序、產後護理，還有 BB 護理！

聞說糖水很難喝，要一點一點的喝，醫院的助理也叮囑我們拿透明膠袋以備萬一。第一口，我是想說，很好喝喔！根本就是溫的蜜糖水嘛！一口氣喝了大半杯吧，就感覺到有一點「太甜」，最後的 100 CC 也費了一點勁才把它吞進去 :P

這其實是一個耐糖測試，可以辨識妊娠糖尿病和耐糖力不足的患者。有問題的，需要約見營養師，嚴重的需要醫生跟進下藥。

護士說，下午就會有結果，最遲明天也會知道，醫院會個別通知有問題的太太回去跟進。

[很好很好！今天一整天都沒有收到電話！]

測試後去了太古城吃飯再回家工作，忍不住到 UNIQLO 逛一圈，買了一件超可愛的 BODYSUIT 給 BURGER，是粉紅波點，WOW，SO TRENDY!!!!

下午在家工作，播 CLASSICAL MUSIC 給 BURGER 聽，再試一下 1812，找來了一個 7 分鐘的「後半部」，BURGER 當真會跟着節奏踢喔！很神奇！VIVALDI 的四季也有一些「好反應」，大概 BURGER 跟我一樣，不喜歡 BAROQUE 跟 MOZART，哈哈哈！

早上在醫院，因為要禁食，醫院特地準備了一些牛奶跟餅乾以供我們即時補充一下，護士說不吃也要拿回家；好吧，雖然我不喝牛奶，我也拿一份吧！

下午在家，有點餓，下午茶，嘗試了一口牛奶，沒有反胃，再多一口，也 OK，就慢慢把它喝完。喝完沒問題，沒有反胃也沒有吐，還以為終於完全過了孕吐期 (對！我的孕吐一直到現在間中還是有的！)，誰知，晚上來大瀉！！！

怎麼辦????

尋日買左好多靚靚 BODYSUITS 比 BURGER，但 BURGER 婆婆話唔夠方便，最好買多 D 「長袍」~ 咩係長袍呢? 上網 D 「搜購指南」都無既 @@ 咩唔係TWO WAY BODYSUIT 就 OK 嗎?

於是今日再趁 LUNCH TIME 戰永安，重點選購長袍!!!! 行左兩圈，無既? @@ 一件都無掛出黎~ 再「勦」下褶好平放個 D 先~ 好不容易才找到兩件!!!!!! 即入！

再行遠少少，喔~ 原來大特賣既「車仔」上都有，但好少款同收得好埋 :P 最後買左兩件 NEWBORN 同一件大少少既SIZE~ 返到屋企，BURGER 婆婆話「就係呢 D 啦~ 但點解咁大件既？成歲著都得囉！」@@ 唔知呀~ 可能宜家 D 人唔鐘意用掛~ :P

不過講真，D 質地真係好舒服 :P 但如果我係 BURGER，我未必會鐘意，好似着睡裙咁，我都會著褲係入面，訓覺感覺良好 D 哈哈~ XD

但如果似 DADDY，BURGER 應該唔抗拒 :P 唔知 BURGER 到時鐘唔鐘意呢?

小表姐出世啦~

BURGER 小表姐出世啦~

JACQUI 今朝 11 點幾開刀生左個 BB 女啦~ 呢個 B 女好肥 :P 30 WEEKS 未夠醫生已經同 JACQUI 講好大機會要開刀，OR 早 D 去催生~ 因為... 個頭太大!!!! 到 37 WEEKS 幾佢都無去催生，B 女已經 7 LB 啦！嘩嘩嘩！最新消息係 38 WEEKS 又重多幾 OZ 有 7 LB 7！塊面 D 肉多到... 好想咬一啖 :P

所以醫生下左「最後通諜」，就算唔作動都要今日開刀啦~

小 B 女出世係...... 燈燈燈瞪...... 8 LB 3 呀！

唔知 BURGER 會幾重呢？

Kakin took a day off today but he was only free in the afternoon. So I continued my works at home.

We went out for shopping in the late afternoon near early evening. We went to shop for Burger's outfit! ^^

When looking around the shop and picking up several clothes to "examine", Burger suddenly kicked so hard when Kakin was asking me if that one is good or not!!!! Oh my Burger! Did you hear us? You showed your preference? Hahaha~

So... obviously, we bought that lovely bodysuit =P

We saw a lovely flowery pattern (pink flowers on yellow background) bodysuit at Hallmark. It is so Summer!!!! But finally Kakin chose the Organic cotton version with more subtle colours - brown flowers on "natural" organic cotton colour. Kakin said that bodysuit must be worn during Burger's first birthday banquet no matter it is full-month or 100-days!!

趁LUNCH TIME 再戰永安，本只打算多買幾件內衣 (和尚袍)，誰知永安 BABY FAIR 還沒結束，找到了兩件很可愛的 BODYSUIT~ 心心 PATTERN :) 雖然 MADE IN CHINA 但外銷日本，原價 199，現只需 79!!!!!! Wahahaha XD

回家坐上了一部播 CLASSICAL MUSIC 的 TAXI，BURGER 對 1812 很有興趣！！一直跟着 TIMPANI 的節奏在踢!!!!!

今日第一次去健康院檢查，原來要坐係出面排隊的。

因為被列為「新證」，檢查之前要看一套 VIDEO，內容同係醫院看的差不多，但 DETAILS 多 D，e.g. 有好詳細自備尿液樣本既介紹。<-- 呢個自備尿液樣本令我苦惱左好耐，究竟去邊到買呢 D 樽呢？以前驗親尿都有醫生 OR 醫院準備既膠樽，個日去到醫院登記，ONLY 話每次覆診都要自備尿液樣本，咁用咩裝呢? 我第一次去醫院檢查係「扮無得去廁所」而羅驗尿試紙的，之後先發現大家用形形式式既膠樽裝 :P 我仲疑惑緊點解 D 人會用呢 D 樽，衛生嗎？原來健康院係有教的！

「新證」需要見姑娘，再見醫生~

姑娘話我之前輕左太多，如以第一次記錄，當然重得 OK，但以懷孕前既體重計就重得少，佢話如果一陣醫生無話 BB SIZE 過大，可以食番多 D 野 @@ 下？係咁架咩？我重左好多架啦~

我問姑娘點解個肚有時會硬晒，佢話個子宮要練習收縮，不過通常都未係咁早既週數，叫我一間問下醫生~ @@

入到醫生房，完全唔需要坐低就吩咐你訓上張床到比醫生度 BB SIZE~ 醫生問 BB 有無郁，我回答: 最近好似少左，只係係個肚度微震，之前有 FEEL 到有腳踢咁，有時會突起左~ 醫生既回答好攪笑: BB 呢個週數係微震架~ 大 D 先會踢到突左出黎~ @@ 我心想: 明明之前有突過出黎架喎~

醫生按肚真係好痛 >< 按到下面的位置更痛 >< 唔知醫生係度搵咩呢? ANYWAY~ 搵完一輪，度左一下，佢話 BB SIZE 正常，跟住就聽心跳。就係佢放個 RECEIVER 係我個肚既時候，BURGER 好大力咁踢左一下，推高左個 RECEIVER，醫生話，那~ BB 有郁啦~ 真係幾大動作，好有力喎~

哈哈~ BURGER 可能聽到醫生話"BB 呢個週數係微震架~ 大 D 先會踢到突左出黎~" 所以「表演」一下比醫生看 XDDD 真好！個醫生之前好似覺得我講大話咁~

Mama misses Burger a lot and finally I can see Burger again ^^ This time Burger is facing up!!!!!!! Must be the good works from Maternity Yoga!!! Wahahaha XDDDD

She's soooooo lovely! She wiped her nose with her hand!!!! Even the doctor said she got many hand movements :P
This time, Burger is 27 weeks and finally we can estimate the weight of Burger and we need to keep track of the different measurements.

Burger's forearms are far longer than the 27 weeks average but her head and legs are around the normal size. Yet her belly is one week smaller >< Doctor asked me to take more number of meals and to eat more if possible. She said my weight is under control and can eat a bit more to facilitate Burger's growth and development.

Overall, doctor commented Burger as having a 'good size' and she is now 1059g! ^_^

(*** I checked a baby weight chart; Burger is exactly on the 50-percentile curve, so probably that's why the doctor said she's having a good size ^^)

今日係TEAM GATHERING；原本計畫 CYCLING + BBQ，我只去 BBQ SECTION，但上個禮拜感冒未好，決定 EXCUSE 一次，反正之前都係WORK AT HOME，如果身體唔係真係好好 CONDITION，我都唔想「去玩」。^^

點知天有不測之風雲，天文台話天陰有雨，老細們決定「放棄」有益身心既 OUTING，改為我 TEAM 最鐘意而英國紳士 BIG BOSS 最唔鐘意既唱 K + BOWLING + 食飯。:P

OFF TOPIC: 相信此一變動會令我地 TEAM 既「社會服務PLAN」 加速上馬。我無返 OFFICE 既一段時間，話說我 TEAM 成員 (多為熱心公益既基督徒) 向 BIG BOSS 獻計，推行探訪獨居老人、兒童院、低收入家庭等活動，BIG BOSS 唔想 ONE OFF，但又怕唔夠 $$ SPONSOR (當公司越來越多典型香港人，越來越少英國紳士，用公司 PROFIT 去做呢 D 公益事務都唔係咁容易)，所以計劃正龜速進行中。

BACK TO TOPIC:
因怕 K 場空氣混濁，我本打算只食 LUNCH，然後返公司等 BOWLING 時間，晚飯就 PASS 了。點知阿姐好好咁選左 RED MR，話貪個度「空氣好」，叫我一齊去 (其實係阿姐好鐘意唱 K，由舊公司跟到過黎佢都無變過，一唱 K，分分鐘就會唔去 BOWLING 了 :P)，既然如此，咁就去啦~

可能 RED MR 係新開，真係一 D 煙味都無，仲要無刺鼻既空氣清新洗劑，唔錯！

BURGER 當然未去過唱 K 啦，亦好少聽 POP MUSIC，除左 DADDY 會係 MOOV 度播既 EASON 或者舊歌。初初我都驚 BURGER 唔鐘意，但 OK 喎，MAMA 唱歌個陣，BURGER 會踢得好開心，又會跟住節奏踢，好得意！

唱 K 既最後當然既爆 ROCK 歌，我好驚嚇親 BURGER，亦深知 > 90 db 唔好比 Burger 聽咁多，但又唔好意思走，所以羅左件大褸 COVER 住個肚，ZIP 隻袖落張凳到坐住 (怕VIBRATION 太大)，再羅個袋 COVER 住個肚，Burger 無奇怪動靜，我想我應該是成功了 :P

唱完 K，本來仲想去荷花看一下，點知 KAKIN 好早出到黎，就先去 SOGO 買奶樽，本來 BURGER 六月出世，五月前買好晒就 OK，但日本 311 大地震再加上核電危機，唯有早D去"入貨"，我地唔係想"同人搶"，只怕到時無得入口!!!!

Today is the second and also the last Prenatal Class.

We have physiotherapists showing us the 'correct' breathing method during delivery and guiding us through the breathing exercises. Some prenatal exercises for exercising the precise muscle that would help delivery was also taught. They are quite simple when compared to the Maternity Yoga ^^ But I discovered that the muscle exercise will involve contraction of muscle near the uterus and don't know if it will hurt or lead to preterm uterus contraction... I must pay more attention to it when doing such exercises.

One big 'news' from the class: - I can do Cat Pose and Bridge Pose during my Yoga lesson; just I need to adjust the height and strength I'm doing it. The Cat Pose helps relieving back pain during Maternity and the Bridge Pose helps strengthening the muscle (increase the elasticity and flexibility of the muscle) which is VERY VERY IMPORTANT to delivery! =)

Other topics include the Post Delivery Care at Hospital and some tips for taking care of ourselves at home after delivery.

The Prenatal Classes did give us a clearer picture about Pregnancy and Delivery. I especially appreciate the Nutritionists' works :) since I know nothing about it before. For the exercises, it would be even better if we could try those poses out during class and let the Physiotherapists to check our poses.

A bit disappointing is that the Class doesn't include Newborn Care >< I don't mind giving a bit more $ but I would very much like to attend such as classes...

懷有 BABY 以來已經第 N 次感冒了！最近的流感真的很厲害，一不小心就中招了！而且我發現，公司的中央冷氣系統真的是細菌傳播的好途徑!!!

公司對我很好，懷有 BABY 以來我幾乎都 WORK AT HOME，趁最近孕吐沒那麼厲害、BABY 狀況也比較穩定就回一下公司，誰知每一次回去後都會惹上感冒！！！

因為已經踏入 25 週，本想到婦產科醫生去檢查一下比較妥當，誰知 DR LAM 又放假了 >< 媽咪問：「為什麼你的醫生常常放假？要接生怎麼辦？」我想... 應該是這段時間剛好沒有人要生，她才會安心去放假吧！

那只好去看家庭醫生吧！媽媽好想 Burger 喔！不知是心理作用還是甚麼，Burger 今天好像很安靜呢！

Mama got a flu again!!!! >< Probably 'coz I didn't wear a mask during the Concert on Friday.

Yet Burger is 'full of energy'!! She played happily with Daddy and kicked him so hard. When Daddy was whispering to Burger, he placed his ear onto Mama's tummy as well. Daddy planned to listen to Burger's "little" movement but she just gave him a hard kick! That made Daddy kind of 'shocked' :P

My little Burger, you're no longer little, you're growing bigger and bigger, healthier and healthier! ^_^ Can't wait to see you soon =) When's my next appointment with the Doctor?

小人兒記事 – 20110305

Burger is having larger and stronger movements!!!!
We can visually see her movement from my tummy! Tonight she kicked so hard at Daddy's ear and Daddy said it should be the head instead of the feet. So... Burger is having a Header?

It is Kakin's idea to bring Burger to a classical music concert! We chose the Halle Orchestra.

Today, I attended a meeting the whole afternoon. It was a meeting conducted in mostly 'British' English. (Most participants are British with a few HKers) Burger has NEVER been in a WHOLLY-ENGLISH environment and surprisingly, she kicked and moved excitedly the whole afternoon!!!!!!

At first, I thought it was my illusion and paid no attention to it. Yet during the show, the conductor started the show by introducing the romantic piece (in very obvious British English). Burger kicked again and she stopped when the music started!!!!

I also found out that she was not so interested in the strings or woodwinds but is very interested in percussion!!!!! She followed the drums to kick in the SAME RYTHM!!! But guess most babies will do so since it got the most vibrations! :P

This is the first Prenatal Class!

We have Nutritionist offering nutritional advices during pregnancy, after delivery, during breastfeeding and for baby nutritions.

I need to have at least 3 portions of Carbohydrates in order to faciliate baby's growth. I also need to have 6 oz. of Protein, plenty of Iron and FAT (!!!!) to sustain baby's growth AND brain development besides the very famous DHA and AA!!!!

Guess how many glasses of milk I need to provide adequate calcium to my baby as well as to protect myself from Osteoporosis? Two is NOT enough!!!!! Up to 4 glasses a day is not exaggerated! But of 'coz, we should take skimmed milk! But NOT skimmed cheese or soy milk since skimmed cheese/soy milk is always associated with high sodium which will increase the chance of swelling.

Swelling can be prevented by a low sodium diet and also HIGH potassium can help! Enough calcium can also ease leg cramp! ^_^

Very useful information.

The second part of the class involves the procedures of delivery!!!! Umum... always sounds scary and this will never ease your concern on 'When should I go to hospital if no bleeding and water not yet broken? How painful or how frequent should I go?' Kakin said, Take It Easy and he believes it's instinct that I will know when Burger's coming! ^_^

Maybe.

And I received 4 cans of formulated milk powder and many other gifts after the class. I also filled in the application forms of those 'MaMa Club' by formulated milk manufacturers, which claimed to be the best way to secure milk powder supply. Scary and incredibly, the milk powder supply of certain brands are very scarce here in HK.

Today is a lucky day for me!!!! ^_^ I met soooooo many nice and helpful doctors!

Mum accompanied me to the hospital for the first time and she was sooooo shocked about the large number of mainland pregnant women there. (But frankly, that hospital is one of those with less mainlanders already!!!) Since she did not go into the clinic room with me, she discovered soooooo many "funny" things about those mainlanders.

This is my second time to have a structure scan @public hospital. It was so fast; no need to wait at all. The doctor performing the scan was very young and absolutely nice! She was supposed to check the heart only but she did examine all other organs as well. She paid so much patience to wait for Burger changing position.

At first, Burger was still in Child Pose!!!! Oh my baby, why do you love to stick to the plecenta so much? Instead of kicking me out of the examination room for another 15 minutes, the doctor said she could check out other things (which she was not supposed to do!!!) She examined the size of Burger. She checked the Brain and head size and also the belly size. Then she came back to examine the heart. She tried to tap Burger with the "scanner" and asked her to move in a very gentle voice. Miracally, Burger did change position!!!! Burger hasn't been like that before! The doctor could see quite clearly the heart and the blood movement this time. She said everything is alright. Then she offered to examine other organs as well. She said, 'This would probably be the last ultrasonic scan before your delivery, so let's have other organs checked as well though they are already confirmed all okay last time." Since the doctor was sooooo nice, I asked the doctor if she knows Burger's gender.

She then examined the area very carefully and said "no protruding thing"! (Haha~ same as what Dr Lam told me) She then continued to check the kidneys, stomach, etc. and I thought it was the end, she came to check the gender AGAIN!!!! After a while, she said "YES! SHE is very healthy". What a subtle way in telling me the good news! ^_^

Hello! My Baby Girl... You're named Trudy after your mom's (i.e. my) German name Getrude! ^_^ But I'll still call you Burger.

感冒了！喉嚨痛得很，鼻又塞，整晚咳過不停，完全不能入睡。以防萬一，決定去看一下婦產科醫生。

醫生說感冒倒不是很嚴重，只是我還是有孕吐，喝水太多會吐得很厲害，不喝水又不會好轉；只好適量補水，但一定要喝維多C。

醫生還主動問我上星期在公立醫院的結構結果，告訴她心臟還是照得不清楚；聽後醫生說還是為 Burger 再檢查一下較好。

這一次也是直接 ZOOM IN 心臟位置，醫生說 Burger 這次的位置很好，blood flow from aorta 看得很清楚。那兩點白點還是明顯，但並沒有影響 valve movement，醫生判斷現在不用理會。

我好奇問那個是甚麼 valve，她答「二尖瓣」，我心想那究竟是 aorta valve 還是 mitral valve? 便問: 是連接 aorta 的那個 valve 嗎? 她說不是，是連接心室心房的 valve。我小聲說，那就是 mitral valve 囉。她沒有說不是。可是，我剛剛在看日劇，發現二尖瓣 = aorta valve!!!!!! 那究竟是那一個呢?

今天是到公立醫院照結構的日子，很緊張，幸好 KAKIN 趕得及請假和我一起去。

今天也照了兩次！因為小人兒還是在做龜式！！！

第一次照的時候，醫生也有解說那裡是腦、那裡是胃、那裡是腎、不同的骨頭、大腿、小腿等。小人兒現在身長 (從頭頂到屁屁) 15 CM，腹圍也是 15 CM! ^_^

只是還是照不了心臟！醫生叫我出去逛幾個圈，看看小人兒會不會轉身。還有，原來公立醫院孕婦照超聲波也要 FULL BLADDER，醫生提醒我喝多點水。

喝了整整一瓶 500 ML BONAQUA，逛了好幾圈，回到超聲波室時，醫生直接放大心臟部分，看了頗長時間也沒作聲，我也看到 FOUR CHAMBERS 也看到那兩點白點，只是這一次，當醫生換一點點角度時，那白點當真不見了！醫生說心臟還是看得不太清楚，一個星期後要回來再看 =P

我還以為這樣就可以回家，誰知還要見另外一個醫生。醫生拿着報告說所有器官都是 NORMAL，可是 HEART 是 NOT WELL EXAMINED，所以要回來再照。

KAKIN 已急不及待的問醫生那個 VALVE 的問題，因為我看到醫生的電腦，知道她沒有看到「照片」就形容問：「我剛剛看 BB 心臟的時候有看到四個 CHAMBERS，可是其中一個 CHAMBER 有兩點明顯的白點‧‧‧」我還沒把問題問完，醫生就說那是 ORTIFACT，是REFLECTIONS 跟角度問題。

真的是 ORTIFACTS 嗎？等了一個多星期還是沒有結果。
