Yup, you read that right.
Can't believe I'm 22 weeks now. It felt like only yesterday that I found out I was finally pregnant!
My baby gender reveal was not planned well. Well we, (mostly me) was so anxious and can't wait for the following week which is during Hari Raya AidilAdha to announced it to my family. We went for the Fetal scan checkup and our little one was super active that the nurse/doctor had to mention it multiple times. LoL 😏
So Imma put it in sequence how yesterday was like.
Morning:
- We went Public and head to One Raffles to exchange Singtel's (forever problematic server).
- Took MRT from there to Kent Ridge had brunch there. I ordered Mee Rebus and the husband ate Laksa. We ordered a coffee set with eggs and kaya toast and shared it as sides. P.S: Totally regretted eating a lot and drinking coffee cause my pregnancy recently can’t brain coffee and can’t take too much food (when I'm always super duper hungry)
Afternoon:
- Met MAMS and had to do my own cheek swab got paid $30 for that.
- Had the scan and met our beautiful baby. We insisted not to be told the gender during the scan and asked if they could put it in an envelope for us (for the gender reveal of course).
- When to a breastfeeding class that lasted around 20 minutes. Husband took videos (you are permitted to do so). My mind was just "please body be kind to me and my baby" all the while.
- Then we stood around calling and searching for balloon companies. Went to get a drink at Bagus and continue our search. I was getting too anxious. Either because the balloons were out of our budget, pickup location too far, too last minute or no time to get as it was already close to 5pm and most of the shops closes at 5:30pm.
- End up taking the MRT to Clementi. Decided to DIY our own "last-minute simple balloon". Went to SKP, took a pack of black latex balloon, a pack of pink confetti and a pack of blue confetti. We asked the cashier to help us with placing either the pink or the blue confetti in the balloon before they blow it with helium. We passed them the envelope and went outside the store to wait. They were really helpful and kind. I am really impressed as SKP don't usually have friendly staff (where I used to work requires lots of SKP visits, so yeah)
- Bought some food at the new "Boleh Boleh" Hawker that everyone has been raving about on Facebook. It is located right beside SKP at Clementi Mall.
- Went home to my parents and brother, video called my sister and my aunt. And the rest was history!
I was shocked as you can see because I really thought we were having a girl. My husband thought so too. But we were not really like, specifically wanted a girl or a boy. We were already happy at the fact that we were finally getting (what seems like a long-awaited) baby. But really happy to get our first baby boy! I can't thank Allah S.W.T enough for the never-ending blessings in my life. My life ain't perfect and I know it will never be and that I will always have to go through dark days and fight with my emotions but I am thankful still at every moment I get.
Thank you to anyone reading this. That’s all I have to share for today. Imma go back to overthinking now. Lol. There's a lot I have to think about now. But yeah bye for now!
Love,
