Second trimester
Week 26
After a week of drinking loads of water, and a friend told me that chia seeds can retain water well, and I've been drinking water with chia seeds everyday. It's time to visit my gynae again. And it's good news time time! The AFI level has gone back to normal! We were extremely delighted I must say! Cos if you google about oligohydramnios, which is the name of the symptom of not enough or little amniotic fluid, it really got us very very worried. It can hampered the growth rate of the baby, and may be some abnormalities. We were glad that we did the NIPT, so chromosome abnormalities issues had been ruled out. And now, with enough amniotic fluid which means baby has enough space to grow and stretch. With all the specialist assuring us that with the scan, our baby is doing fine and has no abnormalities, which gave us a little peace of mind, but I’m a paranoid mummy and I’m still a little bit worried. I just pray that my little bud is healthy, that’s all i wanted!
As we are nearing to third trimester, the baby kicks has been getting really intense! There were times that little bud just exercise himself throughout the night, though it can be annoying as I was trying to catch some sleep, but, I bet most mummy share the same sentiments - it's better to feel your baby moving than feel nothing. Baby kicks counting has become very essential, I did not do the regular 10 kicks a day thing, because little bud can kick more than that in an hour. I used a 3 hours period count, I will always feel him moving, wiggling, kick once or twice at least in every 3 hour. At times of more than 3 hours and I don't think that I feel my little bud, I will start pressing poking my bump, talk to him and lie on my left, and he will start to give me a kick or nudge to signal me he's there.
Week 27, finally third trimester! After all the depressing moments, we decided to have a break, and we went to desaru, a beach about an hour drive from JB. Hubby and I have always been a beach lover, and since its kind of late to organize a trip overseas now, so we just go around locally. We went there with a few friends and their children, and stayed a night. I made some sandwich, we had a picnic session there and fly kites, swim in the sea as well as the pool!

Pulai Desaru Resort is a great place to stay and this is our second time here, first time was 2 years back during my birthday. Due to the Hari Raya long weekend holiday, the resort is filled with people! I think they are not that prepared for such crowd, the buffet breakfast provided by the restaurant was disappointing! we woke up early and realised that they have too much guest, the kitchen couldn’t prepare the food fast enough to replenish what had been depleted by the guests. Most of the food trays were empty, the ala-cart eggs station queue was so long cos that’s the only station with food available! Probably that’s the price to pay for going on vacation during holiday season.
Nonetheless, we had an enjoyable time! A picture of some of us in the pool!
