Visit to the Urgent O&G Clinic

Just as we were so happy, being able to see our precious little one through the ultrsound yesterday with the flicker of his/her heart making us melt instantly, I experienced spotting this afternoon. There was pinkish discharge, relatively small amounts that lasted for maybe an hour or so. Really gave me a bad scare as I was at work. I immediately tried to check on google. Although it was said to be pretty common due to implantation bleeding or sexual intercourse, I was really worried and hence decided to go to the Urgent O&G Clinic at KKH.

I took Grab down to KKH and was registered at the clinic. I was told to collect my urine sample and wait for my queue number to be called to see the doctor. It was a really long and traumatizing wait as other ladies were wheeled in, rushed into the emergency room etc. I was alone as hubs was stuck at work. Every second was torturing and I was constantly worried, uncertain if baby was alright. 

Finally when my queue number was called, I entered the room to meet the doctor on duty. I wasnt registering anything that she was saying. Next moment she told me that she will check and do an ultrasound for me since I was only at week 7. She first inserted a clamp to open up and check my cervix. She said that I wasnt dilated and there wasnt any bleeding so it should be alright. Next, she decided to do a transvaginal ultrasound directly since that was the method that was used yesterday. 

She showed me that baby was fine and after some tuning, she played a short clip of baby's heart beat!! 😍 Hearing the heart beating so steadily and strong made me instantly tear. The doctor showed me the heart beat pattern and said that it was strong and very rhythmic which is good! 

Once the ultrasound was done, she mentioned that she will get the nurse to draw some blood from me to submit for progesterone testing, to check if my hormones are of normal levels. I was told to go home as the report will only be available in 2-3 hours time and if my progesterone levels were off, I would receive a call in which I have to go back another day to get medication. But if all is good, I would not receive any call. Its already almost 8:30pm, almost hitting the 3 hour mark and I have yet to receive any call. Praying that the blood test is fine too.... 🙏

Our Home Renovation Journey - Start of Renovation Process

Image
With the completion of the retification works and confirmation of all the design details, we were finally ready to start the renovation for our new home!  We wanted to start the renovation as soon as possible as we were worried that the works may get delayed because Chinese New Year falls on 5th and 6th of February 2019. Most of the contractors are Malaysians and they normally take quite a long time off during the CNY period. But as usual, our ID had thousand and one reasons, in which he said he had to give one week notice to the different contractors and what not.. Hence, the renovation process was scheduled to start on 10th November 2018. 🙄 Our ID provided us with a renovation timeline so that we will be aware of the works that is going on in our home at any point of time. From the timeline, it is projected that the installation of the last items such as lights, glass works and quartz table top will be carried out on 2nd February 2019. The general cleaning and washing...

Our Home Renovation Journey - Shopping for Furniture and Fittings (Part I)

Image
Since tiling is expected to take about 3 weeks to complete, we decided to make use of this time to start visiting some furniture and bathroom accessory shops to shortlist some items for our home. 🏡 There are so many things that we have to shop for - furniture, electrical appliances, lighting, bathroom fittings and accessories. First stop.... Castlery. Castlery is a local furniture firm that offers surprisingly affordable furniture. I first saw their advertisments on facebook and instagram and I really liked the overall feel of their furniture selections. Upon checking their website with husband, we felt that their furniture suited our theme and at the same time was within our budget! Hence we planned a trip to their showroom at Turf City.  For furniture, we are planning to get a L-shaped sofa, a dining set and maybe a coffee table.  We have been to Courts, Ikea, Big Box, Furniture Mall and some furniture shops in IMM to briefly take a look but have yet to see...

Our Home Renovation Journey - Signing of the Contract

Image
We spent a pretty long time trying to screenshot pictures online that we would love for our dream home. We wanted to go for Scandinavian theme with grey tones. I guess in most cases, lighting plays a very important part to bring out the cosy feeling that we love. Some pictures of living rooms that we found cosy and nice.  We shortlisted a number of ID firms and met up with the IDs assigned to us to try to find one that would best suit our needs, be it in terms of pricing, rough design ideas and also whether we could understand each other and felt comfortable with. Can't believe it but we actually met up with 7 or 8 ID companies. The companies that we spoke to were:  Superhome Design  Jialux Interior  DB Studio  Cozyspace  DS2000  Earth Interior Lemonfridge Studio  It was definitely a tiring experience, having to explain what we want in our house and what we are going for over and over and over again. 😂 Hence I suppose we ...
