| I'm still at 55.5kg! Same as last month!
This is The Perfect Excuse to eat more cheesecake, ice cream and drink more milk tea.
Baby looks bigger, with more defined head, body and limbs.
It's my fourth time but I'm still as excited as the first's. :)

| My girls are complaining to me that when I hold their hands, touch them, I feel very hot to them! Ele even asked me to go get my temperature checked. -_-"' I told them that I'm now having more blood in my system to keep me and baby healthy (I skipped the better blood circulation bit).
Well I'm HOT and I know it. Hurhur... -__-
Gonna see my ob-gyn again tomoro. Excited. :)

| I'm hungry every 2-3 hours and nowadays food all seem boring to me, except for Gong Cha, chocolate cakes, cheesecakes and coffee, all other things are kinda bleh. Nope, it's not due to nausea or morning sickness. It's just that I'm kinda bored by the usual stuff. What I really like, I can't have too much. I can't have too much coffee, tea, caffeine and heaty stuff all the time. So gotta ration out. I've removed coffee from my diet (ARGH the sleepiness!) and only have Gong Cha milk tea every few days whenever I get the chance. As for heaty stuff like chocolate and fried food, I have to control myself. I hate it when I fall ill when I'm pregnant/nursing because I hate the fact that my baby has to absorb some of those meds that are in my system. So yes, moderation. Right now I'm in the mood for some rich, yummy cheesecake. I think NYDC's Big O would be great. I tried compromising with some chiffon cake but really it has no kick. Sigh if only I stay near Holland Village.
Another thing that has been bugging me is the fact that I probably have to go back to teaching in a couple of years' time. Sad. I've always been a firm believer that a mother should be the one taking care of her kids and not other people. I don't believe in out-sourcing motherhood to maids or child-care centres. So now it's a huge emotional struggle. I'd love to stay home for all my kids from babyhood to the day they enter primary school, but it looks like Baby #4 will have at the most 2 years of me being home with him/her. After that I've to help out financially with the household expenses because moving out to our own place, having to change into a MPV again ($80K COE, anyone?), paying for utility, maintenance bills, piano classes... This country is really getting too expensive to live in. I probably will teach part-time. But who would be preparing the meals for my kids? Will I have enough time and energy to coach my kids in their homework? Will Baby #4 grow up differently from way that I would have brought him/her up?
I need a cheesecake. And lotsa prayers. Faith prayers.

| Just saw my ob-gyn and doc says Baby measures about 9 weeks 1 day! All's good. I've probably put on a kilo or 2 already as I'm now at 55kg. Great to finally "see" Baby #4. Happy happy. :)))
