Goodness! Time flies fast isn't it? It seems only just yesterday I found out that I was 6 weeks pregnant and now I'm 7 & a half months pregnant!
People are telling me that my tummy look very small for a 7 month-er ._. I feel so too. When I look down at my tummy, I feel that it's not "bludging" enough =X Purchase like 3 pregnancy apps on my iPhone since I knew I was pregnant & 2 of them says that by this time, I shouldn't see my own feet. But the thing is, I STILL CAN LOH!
I think I'm mad because I've read alot of young mummies blog and they are grumbling they are so fat and couldn't bear their look during pregnancy and I'm complaining I wasn't showing much enough. -_-!
Reverie is on the low side of the average weight. Like she's supposed to be 1.1 kg to 1.5 kg, she's just nice 1.1 kg. I'm eating like mad since I've reached my second trimester. First trimester has been vomiting like one mad ass and no appetite to eat any shyt at all. Lost 4 kg then -_-
I must say I've gained back what I've lost and even more. But Ms. Reviie grow grow grow pl0x. But not toooooo heavy until overweight =X
Decided to start my maternity leave on the first day of Feb. Rest for an entire month or so before the arrival of Reviie (Her estimated due date was on the 10th of March). Initially was planning to start on the 3rd day of Chinese New Year, 17th Feb, (Coz got 2 extra days of off) but the current class I'm taking are driving me nuts!
They are barely 3 and doesn't ALWAYS listen to instructions so I get fed up quite often. And this results to the pain at the sides of my tummy daily. Okay, maybe not daily, but HOURLY!
Both house-keeping and cooking auntie from my workplace always can see how tired I am dealing with them and they understand the pain I'm going through at the sides of my tummy when I gets angry, controlling my class when I raise my voice a little.
Senior teacher and some other teachers also says that it's good that I take my maternity leave early because I need good rest before my class murds' me and somehow result in the premature (choy! touch wood!) delivery of Reviie.
I know readers might go "AHYAH! YOU STUPID ASS! WHO ASK YOU GO ANGRY OR SHOUT THEM!" You think shout them very fun meh. I didn't shout at them but they have to hear my raised voice then can be controlled/disciplined. Tried all soft methods with them and they think that I'm one easy-to-bully kitty cat! So yeah, they are still young. Have to keep reinforce all the rules with them (which often result to me raising my voice a little and sometimes really losing my cool).
Now I hope Feb would come really soooooooooooon! So I can really take my mind off those little monsters. And my dearest wish for now is Reviie to grow healthly (& cutely xD) and meet us not long after her term is full (37th weeks, 17th Feb) =D
Mmmmmm. It does feels good to whine once in a while in a blog post eh. Something for a change after posting quite abit of entries about what I've gotten for Reviie.
I shall get going to start my BabyPlus session now.
After searching and researching on different types of strollers that's available (in pink) on the market. I've finally bought Reviie's stroller after months of waiting (& whining)!
The Maclaren Ryder Juicy Couture Stroller!
Maclaren Ryder ; Juicy Couture
Royalty on wheels
Inspired by the unique aesthetic of the internationally celebrated Juicy Couture fashion brand, the Limited Edition Juicy Couture buggy for Maclaren features a signature Juicy Couture coffee espresso brown and crystal pink stripe fabric print, with a reversible crystal pink velour liner. The Buggy has a custom "Juicy Princess" logo that features embroidery and a gold metallic printed crown. The aluminum frame has an anodized Rose Champagne finish. There is a matching footmuff with Juicy's own signature faux fur. The outside of the footmuff also features the custom "Juicy Princess" logo.
Based on the best- selling Maclaren Ryder, the Juicy Couture collection provides a 5- point harness, four seat positions, front/rear wheel suspension, and UV protective viewing window. Also featuring a round hood with storage pocket and extendable leg rests for babies' comfort.
Comes with a reversible seat padding with Juicy Couture's logo in Pink or Brown
(Meaning one side is pink another side is brown. Obviously use the pink side lah!)
The last picture on the right is with the additional footmuff that can be purchased separately. Very tempted to get it but come to think of it,
1) Singapore so friggin' hot
2) It's not in pink!
3) Local dealer didn't import it in, buy from US later shipping fee make me faint again =X
So yeah! Enough!
It retails for SGD $798 ~
Saw it at Takashimaya last week and have been dreaming about it every night since =X
I know it's very pricey for a baby stroller but I can't help myself! I remember once I saw this Aprica's stroller in the nicest baby pink that sells for $700 plus and I kp for a few months saying that only siao lang buy that -_-! But really, now when I buy this more expensive Juicy Couture one, NO REGRETS! COZ MAD CHIO =X MUAHAHAHAHA!
(Yah lah yah lah. I know many people will be like "Omg so silly. This stroller cost that much is because it's slapped with an extra label Juicy Couture." I know but I really like it alot mah T.T Manguo is right, so long as I like it & have no regrets, no worries! xD)
I have to say Takashimaya's sales ladies are all very very kind and patient towards a young-auntie (I think I practically acted like one -_-) like me =X Ask them tonnes of questions and they very kindly tell me that there will be this card members' day on Christmas to end of the year which Takashimaya's member will be entitled to 10% discount storewide!
So I waited for another week so that I can save $78.90! (Sounds auntie-ish but its quite an amount okay! Somemore I'm not urgent for the stroller also F3)
So today after my BabyPlus session in the morning we when to Takashimaya and was glad to find out that DBS card members will be entitled to the 10% discount too! No need to be Takashimaya's member so we save another $15 bucks for the registration fee =X
Sales lady again teach me how to fold and unfold the stroller. Was practically jumping and hopping when she gets a new one from the store and open it infront of me.
When I asked how many of them are left in stock, she says that there's only 2 left including mine. The other one has already been reserved. Means the only one left "purchasable" is the display set! Let people kick, test, try folding and unfolding one =X
The stroller includes the usual stuff of what a Maclaren stroller has and also this!
A name tag for you to put on ur stroller! Laogong mad funny still say "why give one only, so niao! $789 leh" LOL! Yes yes, I've already pasted Reviie's name sticker on it. LMAO =X
Then I've decided to push this stroller home ourself. Delivery for something that can pushed easily home seems so wierd. But pushing a stroller home with nobody sitting on it seems wierder! So I insist on not cutting away the tags and refuse to remove the plastic covers for the handles. (So people know it's a new one and don't see me as a ding dong -_-)
Wahsai! Alot of mummies are staring at my stroller loh =X Got 2, 3 mummies even look back when I've walked pass them. (Pardon me if I sounded yaya. I'm over excited =X)
Really can't wait to push this stroller with my little honey pie in it! xD
Anyway,
Merry X'mas to everybody! =D
Gonna watch Alvin & the Chipmunks 2 with Laogong in 2 hours time xD Shall take a short nap now.
The items I've ordered online for Reviie has arrived so quickly that I haven't even made payment yet! Friggin' fast even thou it's personalised loh!
It looks so so so so so damn chio that even thou it's friggin' ex that I did not regret buying it AT ALL!
Pink romper with Reviie's First & Middle name! (Reverie Glynisebella) Friggin' chio!
Stephen Joseph's backpack with Reviie's name too! Total chio-ness & madness when I open the package and saw this bag! Reviie's name (Okay lah, the font =X) look so matching with the bag!
I saw this package when I reach home at 11.30 pm and feel so so so high that I immediately blogged about it =X ROFLMAO!
Enough of sharing and I shall siam to bed now.
Those who are interested in where to get them leave me a message in the tagboard and I will give you the link. (I'm not selfish so I share good things with people *cough cough* =X)
After waiting for another 2 weeks, my parents finally brought us to our neighbour's baby store in Malaysia JB today.
You can't believe how much I've waited for it! Mainly because everybody is telling me that I should buy at Malaysia because it's cheaper but whenever I see nice thing in Singapore, I have to try VERY VERY hard to restrain myself from buying them! Especially it's the holiday discount season!
Since I'm not bloggin' for sometime already, I find it more fun to blog about things I get for Reviie. It really makes me happy when I buy her things xD Kuakuakua
(Some items are bought in Singapore. Took their pictures together =X)

(Wait lah still uploading their pictures. File very big =X)
(I think I can go arrange my wardrobe while waiting for all the pictures to be uploaded -_-)

Okay! Here you go!
Mam's milk bottle in PINK! Chio-ness! Can't resist the sweet and hot pink so I got both. Kuakuakua. Avent's and Mam's bottle teat and Avent's bottle scrub.
Baby bibs. Very sweeeet and cute =D
Hats & more mittens.
The cutest and cheapest pair of shoes I've got for Reviie so far!
& more shoes and booties purchased from other various places =X
(& various sizes, so it's not wasting! LOL!)
A baby pillow for calming effect. The pillow are made up of green bean's sprout. In Singapore mad ex! Can buy 2 in Malaysia using the same amount -_-
Stroller's fan and hanger
Cushion for stroller. Look very comfortable!
Waterproof mattress protector sheet. Put above the mattress so in case of any accidents won't kena the mattress =X
Multi-purpose diaper bag for outing =X
AS WELL AS LOADS OF CLOTHES!
I jitao no give face and grab everything I like! -_-! I'm still sensible in the sense that I remember babies outgrew their clothes in lightning speed so I bought bigger sizes. Kuakuakua =X
Very difficult to take pictures for clothes but I shall give you an overlook of my wardrobe.
This is the amount of clothes for Reviie during my first shopping trip.
And after today, her wardrobe turn into . . .

LOL! I already bought 4 sets of hangers and it's not enough! Her clothes here can last her to 1 year old. I'm not kidding =X
And my neighbour kindly give me this set of newborn wear as a gift! Cute! =D
Anyway don't mentioned my cabinets. Jitao is cannot put in anymore things and I think I have to get another plastic storage cabinets for her later =X
I believe I have to buy 1 more set of snuggle wrap. Or I could use Tristan's (Laogong's nephew) old snuggle wrap since we are using it for a month only.
My parents are paying for Reviie's baby cot, mattress and bedding set. All these save me near $500 SGD already. Kuakuakua. Ordered it just now too. Pure white baby cot with pink bedding set, CHIO! (The Pink Micuna's baby cot is out of stock everywhere. Called 3 supplier to check! T.T)
As for baby stroller leh, Laogong's mum is going to pay for it and I insist on getting Combi's UrbanWalker. Have to order it fast coz 2 places are running out of Pink already!
Lalalalas ~ Buying Reviie's items are not cheap but it makes me really happy and excited about her arrival! Maybe some of you don't understand how it feels like but you will know it when you are going to be a parent soon, I believe. xD
Shall go arrange her items now. Friggin' messy sia -.-
