Journey to center of Singapore...

The 'unexpected' Xiong baobao create a suddent twist to the life of Xiong family. It force and take over the full attention away from the HDB issue.

The first trimester of the pregnancy is a 'great' experience to the couple. Xiong mama starts to feel weak and can't really go to work and had to stay at home to rest for most of the time. She had very bad evening sickness and will vomit in the evening, especially when Xiong papa came home around 7pm. And she had very sensitive nose whereby cannot stand the smell of Xiong papa and even the shower gel that Xiong papa used. poor thing, Xiong papa :(

As for craving of food, Xiong mama would only eat pandan cake from Bengawan Solo everyday... So everyday after work, Xiong papa got to rush to buy pandan cake from the Bengawan Solo before it closed. And every small piece of pandan cake cost about 80 cents and Xiong mama will eat about 3 pieces each day...

Hence it was very tough for Xiong mama during the first trimester.. Towards the end of first trimester, Xiong mama went for OSCAR scan at TMC.

During the scan, the doctor need to measure the thickness of the baby's neck but the baby is sleeping and not in the correct position. The doctor tried to wake up the baby and ask Xiong mama to turn here and there to try to change the position of the baby but in vain. Finally the doctor ask Xiong mama to go toilet and it will wake up the baby. Upon return from toilet, a surprise waiting for them...

The baby really wake up and the scan shows that the baby is sucking his thumb :D So cute!!! upon seeing that, Xiong mama's heart melt and the suffering for the first trimester is all worthwhile..
