Supperclub Strange..

Out for dinner with The Gang last night. We went to this new place - Supperclub. Great concept and food wasn't too bad, but OH BOY it was spendy!! Bit of a giggle at the beginning too as they had been warned there was a pregnant lady in our group (surprise set menu, so they needed to know!) and when I ordered a lime and soda they immediately asked if I was "the pregnant one." My soda arrived in due course and I took a sip, thinking to myself, "this is a pretty tasty lime and soda" only for the waitress to come screeching back saying, "I hope you didn't drink that yet - we've made you a G&T by mistake!!!" Yikes!

The next lime and soda wasn't quite so tasty.

On the up side, The Bump seems to be more bumpy and noticeable this week so that was fun :)

2nd trimester at last!!!

Finally able to announce our "baby to be" on Facebook and later in a group email home to all our friends back home. Left me wondering what on earth people did before the internet ....? Or even how I communicated with people before I joined Facebook last year ... the mind boggles.

I'm still very tired a lot of the time (and having a good chunder most mornings) but am trying to make the most of being able to nap during the day. I'm also going to pre-natal yoga a couple of times a week which is really helping. I'm enjoying the classes a lot, it's just the getting there on the train that's a bit dicey :S

Mike and I went to see Dark Knight this weekend. Was pretty good although a bit long for me - particularly since it didn't start till after 9 and we had Gold Class seats .. very nice but a bit too easy to fall asleep when you have a La-Z-Boy and a blanket. I think I missed the ending .......

Snap!

Omigosh (yes, again) ... my friend Yoshie's Hens Night was this past weekend. Fantastic day at Spa Botanica followed by drinks at the marina and Japanese for dinner at Satsuma at the Gallery Hotel.


As we were all about to toast Yoshie and her "last night" as a single girl she said she had an announcement to make ... she's pregnant! LOL, yes a couple of weeks before their wedding. But here's the amazing part .. later in the night, when it was just Yoshie, Maz and I in a cab on the way to dinner, I broke the news to Yoshie that I too am preggo .. and guess what .. we are due within one day of each other. Wow. Very excited to have someone else to go through it all with and to be yummy mummies together next February ;)

I have to say, I was so so so impressed by Yoshie's effort on Saturday night. She'd never even been to a Hen's Night before and yet she was such a good sport - despite being on the waters all night.

BFP! (Big Fat Positive)

Omigosh. Sooooo ... we really are going to be parents! Well, in about 8 months time if all goes well. Hard to believe when it's all happened so quickly, I was just telling Aunty Shirl when she was here that we might "wait" a few months .. big fat lies but that's because I wasn't sure if we would get lucky so soon.

Over the moon at the moment, have rushed out to buy new books already. Can't find Up The Duff anywhere in Singapore, but am now the proud owner of What to Expect When You're Expecting, What to Eat When You're Expecting and, for Mike, The Pregnant Guy.

Broke the news to John and Elly just before they hopped on their plane back to Melbourne (sorry about that!) and I have dropped the G-bomb on Mum and Dad as well. I *think* they're excited to be grandparents ;)

I joined up at Pure Yoga this week as well, good timing really as I will be able to do prenatal classes with them right through, although I am sticking with regular classes for now. Not too impressed with old Rick, the Aussie sales guy, who stuck both feet in his mouth when he spilt the beans to my girlfriend who had referred me to the yoga centre! D'oh! So he was left feeling a little embarassed and Maz and I left feeling rather stunned .. didn't get angry till later at lunch when I had to say "OK, pretend you weren't there earlier and this is a surprise ...." Not cool.

Still. At least that's one less person to tell big fibs to about why I'm not drinking!
