Weight- 110LBs (Taken in the afternoon after lunch so I'm not sure if its accurate...)
Pregnancy Symptoms- Shallow Breathing, Difficulty in walking up steps, Freckles on my arm, a vein popping out on my right leg, ewwww... It was there since I was working as a nurse but it is getting a little bit more poppy and painful.
No news means good news right... And so after waiting for a week, the Ob-Gyn clinic did not call me, which also means that my blood glucose level is in the optimal range right!? Phew... After all the Sugar I infused into my body how can that be remotely possible?! Thank god still... :) After all the sugar and chocolate from baking school... I can't imagine haha...
I was just mentioning to hubby about how my diet has changed so drastically since becoming pregnant. I'm proud that I'm always finishing up my portions of food instead of wasting food like I used to but I am not happy about me, being a savory person changing to a sweet tooth gal! I mean chocolates, cakes and ice cream were not my cup of tea last time! And how about gassy drinks! I wouldn't even drink Coke last time! I wonder if my diet will go back to my old self next time.
I still need my cuppa tea daily, luckily the Ob-Gyn says its ok to drink a cup a day, sometimes I sneak in 2 though, coz I just have that "Tea Urge" oops :P I am taking my herbal tonics and bird's nest and also multi-vit, not religiously but I still do *winks* I mean last time, during our mummy's time, there wasn't any multi-vit or DHA pills or anything but we still came out ok don't we? I pray Caleb comes out well...
Hehe enough about my wierd diet... Here's a picture of the bag of clothes Auntie Jen has pass on to Caleb! :) "Thank you Auntie Jen, now I'm sure I'll be warm for the winter season!"
And a halloween little top that we found at Old Navy last weekend, so cute ya "Daddy's little Devil" Hehe Guess Caleb can still wear that everyday instead of only on Halloween since he sure is gonna be daddy's little devil.
It's scary how my weight changes so much, I've put on like 20LBs already and to think I could not even gain a LB before the pregnancy... I hope I will be able to lose those weight easily... Hmmm thinking of my exercise regime already! I miss my running sessions, though I heard its ok to run if you used to run daily but I'm still afraid sometimes coz my tummy is so heavy! I shall continue my Yoga lessons which I'm addicted to now! I promise to join Jiahui, Caleb's god dad at his Yoga lesssons the next time we are back in Singapore!

About Me
My Estimated Date Of Arrival: 12th Jan 2009
My Delivery Doc: Dr James Johnson

About My Name Pronounced as: "K-lerb, Loo-kas"
Caleb- A faithful dog/companion, is also bold. In the Bible Caleb and Joshua were the only 2 spies that had the bold faith to believe that God will give them the land filled with giants. With the odds stacked against them, Joshua and Caleb remained faithful to God's word. I pray our Caleb owns up to the meaning of his name, that he is faithful to God and bold in living his life for God.
Though many might have think that, "huh meaning of a dog???" but when you reverse spell the word "dog" what does it turn out to be?- "God" And you know how much our family loves dogs so when we chance upon the meaning we were like, OMG that's so meant to be. The qualities, loyal companion, big hearted... It's definitely a name great for a little boy and for a man to be! Though Jason and I do not attend church regularly, it's definitely gonna be a good name if he decides to become religious.
Lucas- Light or bearer of the light. Lucas is definitely going to bring light into our lives...
Here's a list of things that Daddy and Mummy are preparing for my arrival and some of them were passed down by their friends & relatives. Others, were gifts! Thank you very much all aunties and uncles, Jies Jies and Kors Kors!
