Mummy first felt your little kick at 16 weeks. I could tell based on my experience with your koko and I could identify the little movements you made. I was so happy. You were quiet at one point, at around 18 weeks, and mummy was worried so mummy got your Kong Kong to send mummy to a gynae clinic at Bukit Tinggi and saw this Dr. Soh who perform an ultrasound to check if you're ok. Mummy was so glad to see you moving so actively and just out of curiosity, mummy asked the doctor to check your gender. Told your Papa the news and he was overjoyed!
When mummy found out mummy was pregnant with you (somewhere in early October 2010), mummy had morning sickness for 2-3 days, which was rather unusual because mummy did not experience that with your koko. Mummy figured that we conceived you during our Perth trip in September. Anyway, both mummy and papa were happy. And on top of the short morning sickness, mummy had crazy cravings and was eating like a p**. Papa was so nice enough to cave into my cravings, like driving all the way to Coconut Flower in Teluk Gong to get mummy not just one cooking style of crab but two. Mummy also had endless cravings for desserts especially black sesame tang yuen in ginger soup which Kong Kong and Mama helped to ta pau on several occasions.
Yes, mummy had cravings until the 12th week and after that, the cravings died. However, mummy is getting the cravings now. Did mummy mention that this pregnancy felt different from the first?? Yeah, it was different because mummy's first pregnancy had no symptoms at all but mummy was glad that the morning sickness lasted only for 3 days.
Oh, mummy was going say that you'll be a tee tee to koko Jacob. Yes, you're a boy!! Our second boy and Dato Dr Siti Zaliha Zainal, mummy's favourite obstetrician, confirmed the news last Thursday evening when mummy went for the monthly check-up. Dr Siti delivered your koko and this time, we hope she will be around to deliver you.
Seeing Dr Siti can be a nightmare (don't get me wrong, it has nothing to do with her profession because she is a wonderful doctor) but it's the long wait. When mummy was pregnant with your koko and after many months of enduring the long wait each time we visited Dr Siti, Papa and Mummy decided to be at the hospital as early as 6am. Thinking that we will be the first to be there, boy, are we wrong! There were 4 mothers waiting at the door and mummy was the 5th.
However, this time around Mummy and Papa is fortunate to have a friend in Aunty Sherrene from Dr Lee Eng Lam's clinic (your koko's pediatrician) to help Mummy register for us.
