Wonderful experience of quickening

Readers and friends are beginning to give up on me, because I have not be blogging as regularly as I should. I am in my 2nd trimester of my pregnancy, tummy is getting bigger and skin around my area is getting real tight! To prevent stretch marks, I have been extensively applying creams and moisturizer around my tummy, buttocks and thigh areas. I am not sure if this will really be a preventive measures for ugly stretch marks and according to doctors and dietitians these creams that promotes wonders usually don't work. Sigh what to do, I still have to give it a try right?

These days I could feel my baby kicking me, it's called quickening. Every time my baby starts to move, I will communicate with him/her. I wonder if my baby can hear or feel it, but it seems to respond to me. Yesterday I was feeling my baby kicking me and I placed my palms of my tummy and start telling my baby to kick where I placed my hands. Guess what, to my amazed, baby really responded! It kicked to the right when I placed my hand there, and followed to the left, and then to the middle. Wonderful, I am glad to be able to experience this, men don't get it!
I had five baby posters in my room right now, everyday I will look at all these lovely cute babies and wished my baby will turn out as adorable as them.

Been real busy these few weeks, as I am the only available person in the house therefore I have been nominated automatically to become the chauffeur, and since my car has been idling outside my house. Been running errands, driving my mum around to her medical appointments, sending my parents to old neighbour's wedding dinner last night at Marriott hotel. Besides all that task, Jeff's eldest sister came back from UK with her family for a 3 week vacation in Singapore. Therefore there will be lots of family gatherings, and impromptu shopping activities with them. Now you see the reasons why I didn't blog these days?

While waiting for thewedding dinner to end, Jeff & I went party world for a short 3 hours K-session. I realised I couldn't sing as well as before due to my pregnant belly. I couldn't exert much power in my singing as I was afraid that it will hurt the baby and I get breathless very easily.

Although I am now going to 5th months of pregnancy, my appetite still remains the same as before. I don't have cravings for any food, don't need to eat supper in the middle of the night, don't need to eat every 2 hours or so. EATING FOR TWO IS A MYTH!

I missed my friends, sometimes I felt that I must have been forgotten. Everyone is busy with their lives, with work and so on, making keeping in touch difficult. I have a few friends mugging hard for their examinations and coping with work. I definitely understands what they are going through and so I didn't wanna call them risk interrupting them at a wrong time. I am more passive, rather I call my friends, I prefer to wait for them to contact me as I am easily contactable and available at anytime. So don't get the wrong idea that I neglected you people ok!
