about reaching for my toes..
//edit:
I just realised that 2 of the links werent working due to typo. It's working now..
//
a few of you have asked me in my earlier entry when I mentioned I wasn't going to do pedicure myself for a while..
some others picked up the cues from twitter about my appetite or the lack of. or even the need to eat breakfast every morning.
this has definitely taken longer than I thought it would be. it hasn't been easily. I had had a roller coaster ride in fact.
right from the start when I wasn't even that sure, to the double confirmation, the first scare, the check up, and a subsequent follow-up. I was as estactic as I could be. I felt really really blessed and happy that everything seemed right and smooth. then my world crashed down on me the day after my birthday. I couldnt quite believe how 'lucky' I was..
I felt miserable and all I did was to hole up in my room and cry. I didn't really want to think for 2 days before I finally snapped out of it and made a decision while trying to keep calm. the husband has really been a great support during these tough times and even pampered me with an luxurious hotel stay so that I could rest..
all has now been cleared, and I have been busying myself with sleeping whenever I can because I am just sooooo tired so this is wayyyyy overdue.
at 17 weeks.
jerry is having a sibling!
I know. I know. gasps!
to be entirely frank, I had always wanted 3 kids (i know the husband is violently shaking his head cos he only wanted 1) but I don't think that's gonna be anywhere feasible right this moment unless I strike it rich. I have also lost the courage and gusto to even attempt with what I have gone through this round. it has made me feel that life's quite vulnerable and conceiving is actually not easy. being able to conceive and eventually give birth is yet another milestone. I look at jerry everyday and feel blessed that he is healthy and naughty and I hope it will be the same for little baby j. grow well my babies. you are munmy's precious babies.

It’s a wonderful blessing to have close age gap siblings! 🙂

Thank you! they’ll be about 2 years apart (21 months to be exact) and it think its already damn hectic. How do people in the olden days have babies one year apart?!
i hope Jerry would like his little baby!

Congrats Cherie! I just read through the prev entries and I’m so happy for you that you can have a peaceful mind after the test. You are brave! Jiayou!! :))

Thanks! yeah. its been nerve wrecking, hence the silence on this blog. I wasnt really emotionally stable to even share with anyone (even my mum was clueless till recently) so it’s really been a ride.
I’m hoping for the best and i hope the baby will be healthy! 🙂

missustay
so glad that #2 is ok!! gosh, i totally feel your anxiety. when my oscar results showed a higher risk, we were worried sick.
now..enjoy your pregnancy! 2nd time round higher chance of delivering earlier. you may still have a dragon baby!
cherieladieblogs
i was in a daze and totally non responsive when the husband broke the news.. i was like.. u sure is SEVENTEEN and not SEVENTY?!?! i still shudder when i think about it..
about the dragon baby, my gyane says the same thing. for now, i spend my days sleeping all the time. i have no idea why i am still so tired in the 2nd tri! getting very uncomfy already, the tummy’s much bigger this time round.
hoping for the best for the next 4.5 months! 🙂
lilsnooze
