The Twins at week 12 - BOYS??

Had the babies down symdrone scan done today, basically doctor said we should be happy with the result since the blood test and scan are all within normal range. Okie, we are happy. With the scan, I saw the babies moving actively, so glad and so I asked the doctor if he can see the gender of the babies....and he said...'likely boys'!!!! I gave out a very loud 'HUH' and I think I gave him a shocked and he immediately said...NOT CLEAR, you should ask your gynae during your next visit.

On the bright side, the twins are growing well, they are now average at 55mm, that's a good size for the babies.

My next appointment is 5th Oct, will be mentally prepared for the gender, if really two boys, I might try for a girl........................................................you must be crazy if you believed this..haha!!

Spending time with my Niece and Nephew

Have not seen them for a long time and they have growth so much. My nephew is turning 2 in few months time. Rare weekend that we get to spend time together and play. This will be tough when the twins arrived, I probably will not have the energy to bring the twins out and entertain my two other little darling.

So Wenn Wenn, all your daddy fault for not allowing me to bring you out when I can well afford the time and energy...

Unconditional mother's love till it hurt???

I love my grandma but I hate her rotten love that she had for my uncles. Her unconditional mother's love towards her son causes hurts and disappointment to others. Unfortunately, she knew but she can't control her love.

She is willing to compromise her own discomfort just to give convenience to someone that her love will never be recipocated, at least not in the same way that she give. I am not jealous, I knew where I stand in her heart and I know she love me dearly, I am just sadden by her actions and sometime I really wanted to walk away from her. But that will hurt her even more, isn't it?

Since young, I do not allow myself to be hurt by favoritism towards male. I have made my stand that if I am not treated equally as my brother, I will not be nice. My mum had a taste of it and she knew how much it matters to me. That's also one of the reason why I hate it when everyone is saying that I am having two boys. I will love my babies for whatever gender they are and will protect them against the possible favoritism set by the family....

Parenting style

Ever since the pregnency started, I have been thinking what kind of parents will we be? We always joke about what we will be if we are parents but now I will have to start thinking and maybe do a little planning.

Louis always want to be the nice guy, what an easy role to be and he think I should be the one disciplining the kids since Mother fit that role better. Since when right? We have discussed about this but never in a serious manner, I guess this is a new roles that we are both engaging without experience, so we will learn on the job. Good or bad, we will leave it to Sincerity and Righteouness to decide.

Strollers for the Twins

I know it sounds abit early to be looking at strollers, but it is frustrating to know that options are limited and prices are high. I want to be prepared and get the right strollers that will fit into our lifestyle. Althought comfort for the babies is a consideration point, I am more concerned about the size and mobility of the strollers, safety is another concern.

Why is price not an issue?? Becos my dear Brother had kindly agreed to sponsor the strollers and other stuffs that the twins might need. Suddenly I felt so pampered and blissed, is he doing this for me or for the twins?? Haha, whatever is the reason, I stand to gain.

Thank you Brother and the search continue................

Hunger attack

For the past few weeks, I am constantly tired and I don't have craving or desired to eat more. Interestingly, this 2 days I started to have hunger attack, I am hungry 2 hours after eating. The hunger is not the gentle reminder but the dying type that I must EAT something NOW. I have two hungry babies that constantly need to be fed and I am going to be just BIG..Damn!!

Over the weekend, I have stocked up foods and snacks for the coming week, but I don't think they will be enough.

I have bought Sweet potato, steaming it for afternoon snack. I have bought different kind of biscuits and fruits. As I type, I think I can eat something again....

Growing babies

Went for my gynae visit yesterday, was eager to know the progress of the babies. Hate the wait for Doctor but no other options are available other than wait.

Anyway, had my scan and comforting to know that both of them are growing well, from 7mm to 23mm now within 2 weeks and both are almost the same size which is such a relieved. Heard their little heart beat too...beating damn fast which is the norm.

The next appointment is 5 weeks later, I might be able to know the gender by then, will it be one boy one girl? I certainly hope so. Meanwhile, first trimester will be over in 3 weeks time, shall go for a celebration then.
