20 Weeks Detailed (anomaly) Scan at Novena Medical Ctr



Ok, I know I’m supposed to do a more detailed post in our detailed scan last week but on second thoughts, I’ve decided against posting ultrascan images of our sticky bean. Again, pantang….sorry…but hey most babies look similar on the ultrascan anyway. 20 Weeks Detailed (anomaly) Scan at Novena Medical Ctr



So we went to Novena Medical Centre for our detailed ultra scanning as Thomson Medical is fully booked.
I didn’t realized the one at Novena Medical Centre is actually under Thomsonsmedical as well.

There’s hardly any waiting time at all, minus the registration part and the detailed scan costs us $140++.
My appointment is at 12pm, we reached about 10 minutes earlier so after registration is done, our ultrascan started on time at 12pm.

There’s about 3 ultrascan rooms over there if I didn’t recall wrongly.

The sonographer seemed pretty experience and quite friendly, she’s talking most of the time, perhaps we were way too quiet for comfort as we were worried about the ultrasound since my amniotic fluid was on the low side.

So they did the typical measurements on baby’s limbs, head, stomach and everything is fine except for the head.
Not sure is it due to the low amniotic fluid at early stage, sticky bean’s head is on the flat side, instead of looking a nice, round shape. =(
However gynae, Dr James Lee, kept reassuring us that is perfectly fine and baby’s head shape will change either later in pregnancy or even after baby is form.

Hope it will change soon and not affect her looks.

-          Brain : looks good
-          Kidney: looks good, as in it’s there, sonographer say from scan cant really tell if kidney is working a not but the fact the amniotic fluid went back to normal, it probably suggest that there’s enough urine produced by sticky bean!
-          Spine and posture : looks good, this was among the hardest to capture other then the gender as sticky bean was lying so comfortably in a face down position, legs bent, hardly moving much during the scan other then swinging her legs or arms from time to time
-          Heart: looks good as well
-          Nasal bone seen, no cleft lip detected
-          Umbilical cord: normal with 3 blood vessels

All in all, the results still made us extremely happy from then on.
I still can’t get over how sticky bean listened to mummy’s plea for her to straighten her legs for a while and she did so immediately. Ain’t it amazing? Does baby really understand what you’re telling them when they are in the tummy?

Of cos following the excitement, I’ve been surfing online almost daily for clothes and relevant items for sticky bean..gosh I really ought to stop before I get out of control!

Another milestone completed:
I’ve booked my post natal massage lady, recommended by my sister-in-law who’s giving birth to her 2nd child in October.
Apparently her then looking 5 mths preggie tummy after giving birth reduced so much in size after the massage done by this malay lady and her charges are really reasonable at $50 per session.

The ones I’ve seen at motherhood expo charges from $80 per session loh.

Updates:
At 21 weeks now, sticky bean's movements has became more and more obvious, albeit still seemed a little like fluttering but definitely can feel it very much obviously now.
it became more regular and fixed at certain hours too, she tend to move lesser in the morning and start to move more in the evening and alot more at night when i'm lying in bed.
it's an amazing feeling inside you, whenever i feel sticky bean and if i'm driving or at home, i'll talk to sticky bean to acknowledge her presence.

these days, seem to have problem falling asleep at night and waking up in the morning though, the fatigue feeling is crawling back again, tend to feel tired and sleepy at work in the late afternoon and start to stone from there onwards.

our next gyane check up is in another 3 weeks, at 24 weeks preggie. can't wait to see sticky bean again and hope she's growing well, shall continue to drink lots of water in the meantime. 20 Weeks Detailed (anomaly) Scan at Novena Medical Ctr

Taiwan Kids friendly Accommodation with slides - not your usual list!

And so from a mere idea of bringing Sticky Bean with us to Taiwan, this idea was put into action with Singapore Airlines 70th Anniversary promotion where you get to pay only $70 for a child's ticket! Though it's not exactly the cheapest option for flying to Taiwan, we thought to pay a little more for better service and not to mention safety since it will be Sticky Bean's first time traveling on a relatively longer flight. Her first plane ride was a really short one to KL, a mere 1 hour away. If she's manageable on the flight, we can then consider budget airlines such as Scoot or even Jetstar for our subsequent travels. So why Taiwan? There are plenty of reasons for our choice other than both Mr. Keir and myself love Taiwan for the food and hospitality. I'm sure you may have come across Awesome kids friendly accommodation with slides and other themed rooms in Taiwan that are trending in facebook. That was one of the many reasons why we want to go Taiwan too! ...

8 Day 7 Night Kaohsiung Kids Friendly Iitnerary (Taiwan)

Finally, we embarked on an exploration trip to the Southern part of Taiwan. Having heard so much about E-Da World in Kaohsiung, we decided to take a direct flight just to explore Kaohsiung. Initially, we'd wanted to do a Kaohsiung-Tainan trip but decided to skip Tainan this time around and did a Kaohsiung-Nantou trip instead. We had so much fun and would highly recommend a visit to Kaohsiung to any families travelling with kids. In fact, we find Kaohsiung a lot more child-friendly than Taipei. It is also less crowded so it makes it less claustrophobic taking public transport in Kaohsiung as opposed to Taipei. The people there are also a lot friendlier and helpful. This time around, my mum joined us as well and Sticky Bean was ecstatic as she gets to spend quality time with her Popo. Here's a preview of our 8 Days 7 Night Kaohsiung Kids Friendly Itinerary (Taiwan) . You can click on the respective days for a detailed post. The link will be up once it's ready...

BTO Keys Collection and BTO Door Opening Ceremony

And so after a long 4 years wait, our BTO is finally ready for keys collection. To be honest we totally forgot about out BTO and was pleasantly surprised to receive an SMS from HDB to inform us of our BTO keys collection date. That was when we frantically tried to hunt for an ID. Ok to cut the story short, here's what happened on the BTO keys collection day as well as what we did for our "BTO Door Opening Ceremony". There really wasn't an official BTO door opening ritual or ceremony in fengshui. I guess this is just a Singapore custom. Though we do not have a religion, in particular, we just did it for an ease of mind. Love the  living room view from our 30th storey BTO view from our Service Yard BTO Key Collection Process at HDB Time took: less than an hour It was a very straightforward and easy process. Here's what you need to prepare, assuming that you are taking the loan from HDB. Identity cards Marriage certificate if you are buying...
