Pelvic Pain


This is not good news. I first experienced pain in my pelvis during my trip to Hong Kong. I probably walked too much and did not have enough rest. The pressure and pulling pain progressed to a stinging, splitting pain whenever I tried to turn my body in bed.

Found out via this leaflet that my pelvic pain, also known as pelvic girdle pain, is common but not normal, during pregnancy. I have mentioned to Dr Chan about the pain previously and she said it is normal and the baby's weight is pressing downwards and I should expect it to get worse.

My next appointment is Thursday and I shall highlight my pelvic pain to her again and see what she says.

"You ate your baby?!"


My mum-in-law dropped by my house the other day to pass us some letters and hubby's cousin wedding invite. Gary, my 6-year-old nephew, tagged along too. As usual, he was concentrating hard on his PSP. He glanced my way when my MIL insisted he greet me.

They just popped by like for five minutes cos my father-in-law was waiting for them downstairs.

Just before Gary left the house, he looked at me and exclaimed "You are fat already!" Both MIL and I laughed. I told him I'm not fat, it's just that I have a baby. He smiled and asked to see the baby and I patted my tummy and told him the baby is inside. He asked incredulously "You ate the baby?!". I replied "Yeah, I just had it for lunch!"

Little Ashley

I was going through the pictures in the computer when I came across some of my childhood pics.


Mummy dearest and me. I wonder how much will Amanda look like me.


With my dear parents. I think my mum and dad are the most gorgeous people in the world.


My very first birthday. Posing with my beloved granny and cousins. I miss my granny very much. And the 3D ship birthday cake is so cool!


With my pretty cousins. I was three here, I think.


My 4th birthday party. I think that's the second and last birthday party I ever had. These are my cousins and everyone (except Benson) are married with kids. I can still remember the taste of that yellow birthday cake!


I'm a Daddy's girl. Here with Dad at Alexandra. I can vaguely remember this outing. Think I'm almost five here?

I had a fantastic childhood and I hope I will be able to provide Amanda with an equally wonderful if not a better one too. And really, I wonder how will she look like. Will she look anything like me when I was a child?
