Busy.

Poppy and I were at the travel fair in Suntec and Marina Square a couple of weekends ago.

Sadly, there were no East USA, Europe or Japan tickets available for the dates of our choice. Out of desperation, we gave the agent our travel dates and budget, and they managed to find tickets to Australia. And since the package they had for Melbourne was only 5D4N, we combined it with the Sydney package to make it 10D8N in total. And so, Melbourne and Sydney, it will be!

It's been a couple of mad weeks. Mad busy, that is.

Had a scary episode at the Alexandra Hospital, when Poppy complained of severe pain and blood in his urine. After 2 tormenting hours at the A&E, Poppy was told that one of his kidneys was swollen due to blockage by cyst and is severely dehydrated. He was ordered to finish a 2-litre jug of water before being discharged, and has to return for checks tomorrow. He has since been obediently taking his fluids daily. Hopefully, all's well for tomorrow's check-up.

On another note, my project for this semester has commenced again. I have started preparing bits of it, since I will be away for almost two weeks, in hope of returning to less work load (wishful thinking!).

The Only Constant Is Change

There's tonnes of changes going on everyday.
While I am regaining back most of my appetite and energy, my tummy is getting bigger and tiring me out easily (but, of course!). By the end of a work day, I'd be dead beat and would hog Poppy's "Seat of the House" - the chaise lounge. Compared to a couple of weeks ago, I'm sleeping more soundly at night now although BB is conscientiously bobbing away in the tummy. I'd be too fatigued to wake up at night to go to the toilet, and even if I'm parched, I'd rather not wake up either.

Well, bodily changes are not the only challenges. The mister's fickle-mindedness is also making me peeved at times.

We've made the arrangements for the Port Dickson trip later this month. However, on one of our dinners with Jessica and Adrian, they tried to persuade us into going Europe with them and assured him that it is perfectly safe for preggers to travel. Poppy was apparently convinced that we should have what Jess calls a "Babymoon", but I'm not into the idea of scurrying through half of Europe in just 10days with my big tummy. So it's decided that we will cancel our Port Dickson trip and head to the States again. With less than 3 weeks to the commencement of our leave, we have yet to make any travel arrangements or booking at all! Thank goodness a couple of travel agencies will be holding a pre-NATAS travel show at Suntec this weekend. Without even an idea of where exactly we want to go - East or West America, hopefully, we can get a F&E package of our choice in time. It's all such a rush and I've yet to make a list of things to do/see/buy!
