How having an attentive husband is important during pregnancy

It's only week 8, and I've been experiencing a lot of mood swings-like non stop PMS and stomach cramp (because the womb is expanding?). And like what I've told you before, my appetite during these time is extremely healthy.

I feel very grateful to have such an attentive husband like David..  when the nausea hits me, he rubs cajuput oil (minyak kayu putih-traditional oil from Indonesia) at my back and shoulder. This oil is a lifesaver, it is warm and smells great!

 last week, at 10.30pm he went to 24hours supermarket to buy me a watermelon because I feel like eating fruits. And he cut it for me too!

And the next day, I suddenly felt so hungry in the middle of the night, and he cooked instant noodle with egg for me (yeah I know what you think, don't eat instant noodle.. but what to do? I was extremely hungry and instant noodle sounded like a prime steak at that time)

 

he didn't realize I took this pic, lol

And just 2 days ago, I was craving a double cheeseburger so badly I could cry.. at it was already almost 11 pm! it was windy and a little cold outside, so my sweet husband told me to stay at home and he'd go buy it.. He rode my pink bycicle to the neighbourhood McD, and you know what? It was the first time he ride my pink bycicle... He usually said I'd rather walk... lol.

(and he bought one again the next day on his way home from work)

These sweet gestures make me love him even more. He said that he wants me to be happy during pregnancy, so our baby will feel happy too. Luv u hubby :)

My wedding ring doesn't fit anymore!

Oh noo! My wedding ring used to be quite loose on my finger, but now it doesn't fit anymore! I had to leave it at home this morning...and it's only week 8!

I feel hungry all the time and I can't help it

This has been a totally new experience for me... for the past few weeks, I've been feeling hungry so frequent! Like yesterday, I just ate 2 slices of bread for breakfast and 1 hour later I felt like... 'have I eaten anything this morning?'

People keep telling me, don't worry.. it always happens, once the morning sickness kick in, you'll not feel like eating so much anymore. But.. it doesn't seem to happen to me.. My morning sicknesses are not that bad, I don't throw up that often (or maybe not yet..?) and usually what came out are only water and very little food. And you know? after that I feel like eating again! oh no.

My sweet husband has been such a great help in fulfilling my food cravings.. but not so much in helping me controlling my weight, lol.

Finally....

I just found out 2 weeks ago that I'm finally pregnant! That week my husband was on his business trip and he wasn't in singapore. I was planning to tell him once he's back, but being me.. I couldn't help to keep it myself.. During his meeting's break he called me and I told him right away! I could tell that he was extremely happy, but I didn't regret at all telling him over the phone.. because after all, we've been married for 4 years and had been trying to conceive for 11 months.. he's the one who should know about this A.S.A.P. :D

my first appointment will be on 14th Sep 2010 with gynae Irene Chua at The Private Suite (TPS) KK Hospital. I am so looking forward to it!
