Preparation for the big day!!

So...its just about 5 weeks plus to the big day and I still feel unprepared!!

Still feel like we have lots of things to buy and prepare lol. Ok i haven't blogged about it before this just in case something goes wrong unexpectedly (being me!) but yes I'm preggers lol.

The past few months have passed by quite quickly from the time we found out about the big news to the first trimester (where i puked my guts out almost every other day) till now the 3rd trimester and I'm practically like a whale now!

My gynae is Dr Goh Li Shen from Mt Alvernia and so far so good, she has been very polite, friendly and professional. She's a woman of few words but so far no complaints about her at all! Every time I have questions she is able to answer them in a reassuring manner and the main reason I chose her is also becuz she's one of the few female gynaes around that actually deliver at Mt A!

From the start, i knew that male gynae is out for me so that doesnt leave much options. Initially I went to see Dr Joycelyn Wong at TMC and she's pretty good and warm as well but too bad she doesnt deliver at Mt A plus the service staff at her clinic are terrible!

Getting prepared for the arrival of the little one

I've always known that its not cheap having a kid in Singapore but i must say i'm still quite shocked at how much we have had to spend to far! So far all the gynae (including regular check ups, tests etc) fees have come up to more than 2-3K and that's not including all the baby stuff we need to buy!
