Felin have been experiencing symptoms of a 3rd trimester pregnancy lately. Fatigue and breathlessness after a pretty short walk. Her legs are getting swollen with the weight of her tummy, which looks like a watermelon now. She gets occasional heartburn and more frequent urination.
During the week, I had booked for our first staycation at Siloso Beach Resort. It will be from 8th to 10th November. It cost me $600+ with taxes for 2 days. They include 2 tickets to Universal World but I'd changed it to the SEA Aquarium. I'd planned to visit the Wax Museum and walk around Sentosa Cove. Its been years I last visited the museum. We had prepared drinks and titbits for the trip already too. Really look forward to next week.
During the week, we changed our mind and decided to engage the confinement lady which my mum introduced. She was a retired nurse from Indonesia who claims to work as a confinement lady in Medan for more than 13 years. We will be flying her in from Indonesia and I hope she is able to help out during the confinement month. We are not too sure about her capabilities except a lot of assurance from her so call "Sister" in Singapore.
On Thursday, I did my first Corporate Seminar. It was a resolution that I set for myself during the early days of Felin's pregnancy and I achieved it. I really spent a lot of time preparing for the day with all the slides, research and preparation. It went off pretty successful but with a mistake that I made during Q&A that made me uncomfortable.
During the weekend, we had our final Pre-natal class at NUH. Think of it, I seems to have forgotten what I had learnt over the past 6 weeks. Looks like everything going to be on the job training by then.
It was very relaxing over the past 1 week as I spent quite a lot of time with Felin, especially during the night when we just lay on the bed enjoying the quiet time spent together. We knew that tough days are ahead and we just need to get ourselves prepared for it to come. I talked to the babies and thinking of naming Joshua to Jeshua. As for Josiah, Felin aren't too comfortable yet as she feels that too many people does not know how to pronounce the name. Thinking that I can easily call "Jes and Jo" in future when I need to call the kids.
We packed the babies room and clear some stuffs off the room to prepare more items that are expected to come in. During the weekend, I also played all the 3 musical instrument that I knew for the mummy and babies. I don't play well but I think these sound might be able to stimulate the babies brain a bit. Hopefully. haha... Btw, the Saxophone was purchased by Dad when I passed my O'levels exam nearly 20 years ago. How time flies. The Saxophone was 20 years old already.
The week going to be tough as I need a lot of catching up with my personal Sales. It was extremely slow during the whole month of October. I was spending too much time preparing the seminar and on the baby preparation that I neglected my work. I was also too much with the issues at Parkway Centre where renovation started with quite problematic issues going on.
Am thinking whether I should do the last thing in my resolution which is to start on my ChFC paper certification after seeing Johnny completing 2 papers within a month. At least I started working on it even if it fails. It will be really tough if I decided to embark on this and I think only God can help me achieve what I wanted and yet providing me with good sales ahead... I am really fearful that it will affect my sales.
First, I think I must manage my time even tighter. I may need to write less on this blog and less time on facebook. I need to stay focused at work and have better idea what I want to do daily. I really need God to be by my side to help me. Lord, I need you. Thank you...
