Shopping for Baby Stuff at Kiddy Palace

I went shopping at Tampines Kiddy Palace. With some idea of what items to buy, I decided to get the Baby stuff before the sale ends at Kiddy Palace. When I saw the whole range of baby products, I got a little overwhelmed. There are so many things to buy, I wondered which ones are good.

I saw this lady, Tiffiny, also shopping for baby stuff. She seemed like a nice lady so I approached her & asked her advice. Turns out that she's a mother of 3. Wow, a very experienced mom. I felt so lucky to have met her. She recommended me brands which she feels are good for the baby. Thank you Tiffiny! You have been a great help!

Some stuff Tiffany recommends:


Recommended items from Pigeon & Nuk. Nuk bottles with the latex teat are best as it feels like the breast. Pigeon bottles to be used for giving water.



Mustela Baby bath & Cream to prevent diaper rash. Great for leaving baby smelling fresh & feeling smooth. Tiffany says her baby never had diaper rash as she uses this barrier cream!



Cute towels & blanket from Aussino Babies. The face cloth on the right is great for bathing babies cos it's so soft!

Second Trimester (Week 13 - Week 27)

Second Trimester - 3 May 08 - 22 Aug 08

I'm in my Second Trimester now. Sometimes, I forget which week I am in. It gets pretty confusing... maybe it's the pregnancy forgetfulness...

I stopped my Body combat & Body pump classes. It gets a little uncomfortable when I lie on my back or do twists & turns. So I'll just stick to walk/jog on the treadmill & using the machines to keep my muscles pumping.

The tummy is growing! It's not that big yet but it's interesting how I wake up sometimes to find my tummy bigger than yesterday.

Down Syndrome Test

We went to do the Down Syndrome Test on 2 May 08 (at 13 weeks). They did an ultrasound to measure the liquid underneath the baby's neck.

Baby was very co-operative and we managed to take the measurements at 1 go. Just after the doc finished taking the measurements, baby turned its back towards us. Hee... good baby, you are really co-operative.

Everything is normal. We even heard Baby's heart beat!

First Trimester - Exercise Program

I continued my exercise programs during my pregnancy. I went for body pump & body combat classes, play tennis every sunday and jogged a little every now and then. It all went well. Probably because I've always been exercising all these while. So it was ok to continue exercising now that I'm pregnant.

I used to run long distances. So one day, I decided to do a jog/walk for 6km. I read that pregnant woman may feel easily breathless so I thought a jog/walk will do fine. I started slow but felt I was losing my stamina. I started to walk. And then I jogged again only to find that it was too tiring. My stamina was gone... I had to walk like 4km to get home. Phew, that was tough man. It took like 1 1/2hrs to get home. Normally, it would just take at most 45mins. Well, there goes my running program.

So I stick to my gym & tennis. Surprisingly, I got better at tennis. Haha, the power of 2!

First Trimester (Week 0 - Week 12)

First Trimester - 2 Feb 08 - 2 May 08

Everything went very well. No carvings, no nausea, nothing. Really thank my lucky stars or maybe my mom cos people say if your mom had a smooth pregnancy, you will too.

Oh there's something about meat & fish that I began to dislike. Maybe the baby's a vegetarian. Heh, so I ate mostly vegetables and tofu. Very healthy.

I continued my exercise programs too. I go for my body pump & body combat classes, play tennis & jogged a bit. I used to run marathons. Just had mine last year. It was my first marathon and I clocked 4hrs 28mins! Yeah! All because of my Safra Running Club. I can't wait to go running with them again. Really motivating & nice people.

My weight at 12 weeks - 49.6kg. Same! That's good. I like that... Well, people keep telling me that this is the time to eat all I want. Man, they don't know me. I can't bring myself to get fat. No no. But I didn't have any cravings for food so I didn't bother to increase my food intake. There's really no need to. So I'm still the same me.

I am Pregnant....

16 Mar 08. That's the day we discovered I am pregnant! Well we actually planned for it but we didn't know it would be that fast. Haha... it's came as a pleasant shock.

My gynae is Dr. Adrian Woodsworth from Thomson Medical Centre. A great modern gynae who says I can eat anything! Yeah! Except pineapples, seafood... I think that's it. Great doc right. No chance for those old wives tales where we can't eat this or that.

Follow me as I get more and more pregnant.... Weight at 6 weeks 49.6kg.




That's us on 7 Feb 08.
Little did we know there's
something growing inside me...
