ASTON Specialties

Wanna introduce you guys to a new favourite makan place of ours. ASTON! We have tried it at Serangoon Garden and Joo Chiat.

Serangoon garden branch is at a kopitiam. Whereas the Joo Chiat is at a cafe style environment. Both at the same price! So it's up to u which one u wanna go. =)

I like that we have a variety of side dish to choose to go with the main course. There is hot side dish such as baked potato, french fries, onion rings, mash potato....

Cold side dish: Pasta salad, garden greens, potato salad, .... can't rem all lah.

Check-Up at 37th week & 2 days!

Came back from gynae's checkup just now. And guess what? He said baby's head is pretty low now and I should be giving birth within the next 2 weeks!(My EDD is actually 19days away). I was happy to know that baby is engaged liao but feeling super excited n abit kan chiong at the same time. Today's visit was full of emotions. Why?

1) My weight ballooned 2kg within 1 week!!!!
Gynae: What happened? Why suddenly gained 2kg in a week?
Allan: She ate alot of durians these few days.
Gynae: Aiyo... durians can make bb's weight increase alot! Later ur baby 4kg, too big...
Me: Then I better stop my durian feast.
Gynae: No lah, still can eat but don't eat too much.
(I started to panic liao. My bb was always average weight all the while and I happily tot I would not have too hard a time delivering it. It seems that dream was shattered at that instant. PANIC-monia!)

Then, gynae proceed on to scan bb.

Gynae: Ok, baby head is very low. Should be delivering within 1~2 weeks.
Me: How heavy is baby?
Gynae: (starting to measure bb's head and stomach) Baby is around 2.9kg to 3kg now. Average.
I heaved a sign of relief upon hearing this.
Gynae: Your pelvic bone can actually deliver baby up to 5kg.
Me: (Startled!) Huh! No thanks lah. 5kg is very big lei!!! haha...

After Allan and I left the clinic, we started to walk in a direction AWAY from the carpark. Meanwhile, he said he's feeling kan chiong. But I told him I'm the one who should be lagi more kan chiong lor. haha... But we are both equally kan chiong lah cos 1st time parents mah. Then we realised we are both walking in the wrong direction! Too excited until like tat!!! Can u imagine? Then we turn around and head back to the car.

Hmm... anticipating's our little one's arrival and trying to cherish my moments with hubby (or personal time) right now before our bundle of joy arrives! =)

Insomnia....

Have been awake since 3.30am n i can't get back to sleep!!! Wa pianz... trying to sleep then baby keep punching me until cannot take it. went to make some hot milo n blog here. Actually i have already read a booklet on parenting, surf the net, ate biscuits n nuts between 3.30am till now but to no avail. tried gg back to sleept then bb kick here n there... I change my position (turn left, turn right, turn slightly left), he also kicked. maybe he just want mummy to wake up!

But anyway, I'm not tired cos I slept at 9.30pm last nite. I seldom sleep so early but too shag.... I even told hubby let me take a nap, later I wake up, we go eat supper. haha... surprisingly, he also slept around then. but i don't know if he got wake up and go out with his "brother".

I will go do my yoga and go for a walk soon if i still cannot sleep. but it will just mess up my sleep clock. Hopefully, i will doze off after my milo drink.
