Alfee's Progress

Alfee at 24 weeks (715g)

We had a busy afternoon today. We went for our routine check up at TMC before rushing down to meet our tutor at Cherrybrook. Alfee is growing well at 24 weeks, weighing approximately 715g. I am, on the other hand, putting on too much weight. So far, I have gained almost 6 kg since the start of my pregnancy. Although it might not seem much, I must start controlling my weight gain or I might end up with gestational diabetes again. Easier said than done though. I am hungry ALL THE TIME! My gynae said I am doing weightlifting with Sophie and Alfee would definitely be bigger than his "zair zair".

Self Care

Ever since I resigned, especially after Sophie was born, I have been neglecting my physical appearance. Although CK does not really mind, I do not feel groomed at all and I feel bad when we meet his friends or colleagues outside. For someone who believes firmly that grooming is a form of respect for the self, as well as others, this is highly unacceptable. Having said that, I am also not in favour of over indulgence in beauty products. Beauty products should enhance one's looks and not create an entirely new persona. Thus, I go for the basics when cosmetics and skin care products are concerned. Lately, I try to pay more attention to my looks. And I realised how much I have aged since we got married.
