I'm a full-time mummy

The table below is to recap and note down what are the differences between my pregnancy then and now...

And just a couple more things to note that I will not be able to do in a few months time:

And the things I'm so NOT looking forward to in a few months time:

Please wish me luck and I really need all the support I can get in making my breastfeeding during pregnancy works! And of course, most important is I have a smooth and safe pregnancy and delivery!

Thank you for reading, have a good weekend and God bless you!

I read in the Internet how some new expecting mummies were worried about what they did prior to them knowing they were pregnant, things like drinking a bit too much of some alcoholic stuff, or smoking a bit too much and so on. I don't drink and I don't smoke but boy oh boy, I did some weird stuff before I found out I was pregnant...

Now, I found out I was pregnant with Ben in July 2008 and few weeks before that, I did this:

Yes, ladies and gentlemen... that is FLYING FOX. I accompanied my hubby to one of his teambuilding activities in his business and participated along in this flying fox activity. Climbed up to that really high platform, got myself strapped all over, armed with the wobbly helmet and just a strap to hang onto, I flew off from the platform and landed on the opposite site onto this flat ground area. All of this happened when I didn't even realised I'm already pregnant!

And few weeks before finding out we're expecting now, we went on a family trip to Genting and hubby and I sat on this while my brother in law babysit Ben for a while.

This my friend, is one of the outdoor rides in Genting Highland, called "Flying Dragon". It's a roller coaster ride which adults and children with specific height can go for. Hubby and I tried it after much persuasion by his brother that we should just try it before we get older and got scared of roller coaster rides!

So yeah, both pregnancies, I'm in some sort of 'flying' activities prior to finding out I'm pregnant.

What about you? Any weird, funny, creepy, scary or memorable things you did before you realised you were pregnant?

A bit of story about this picture:

As Chinese, most of us expecting parents will rush to hire a confinement lady (kinda like a doula but they only work after the child's birth and normally for a month duration) and with Ben, we wanted everything to be in place too. We hired our confinement lady (CL) when I was 7th month pregnant and was all ready and counting down to the few months left before Ben's arrival.

Unfortunately, our CL broke her leg during a holiday trip 2 weeks before I was due to deliver and at the last minute, we were not able to find any replacement and we decided maybe this is God's way of telling us to trust onto Him when all things fail (and also that we shouldn't really plan everything too far ahead and not trust on Him!)  So, hubby took a month off work to be my confinement lady (CL) after I delivered Ben. And yeah, we ended up doing our own confinement and as a result, we bonded closer with each other and with Ben too and not to mention, we save quite a bit of money from not needing to hire the CL.

And so, for the first month, hubby practically took care of caring for Ben (other than feeding cos I direct breastfeed Ben since we brought him home from the hospital). Hubby bathed Ben, changed his diapers, clothes, everything.

So this picture really brings back lots of sweet memories and I'm glad to have this awesome man as my hubby! (And yeah, he's going to be my confinement lady again when our second child comes along heheheh..)

Oh, and did I tell you that this ring was worn since we first started going out as a couple? That was like back in 1999!
