25 + 5 Weeks and traveling to BangKok

12:39 AM 0 Comments
My second day in Bangkok and I am more recharged to do some blogging now. I have heard mummies concern about traveling when they are pregnant. So this is my life and now pregnant at 25 weeks and travelling.

I heard that airplane companies give priority to pregnant women. I took SQ flight this time round. However, unsure of what is the priority. I have decided to pass them my letter written by my gynae. 

My luggages had business class priority tag and I didn't really had to wait long. Once I reached luggage claim , my luggage were ready to be picked up. This was good, I was getting very tired.

Priority Luggage Claim
I do realized that Bangkok is not friendly for heavily pregnant women, strollers and wheelchair.
The pavements are very uneven. In the event, we had to cross the bridge , there was no escalator or lift. There were no pedestrian crossing in sight nearby, poor Papa Koh had to lift the two luggage up the long flight of steps

I wouldn't recommend Bangkok for heavily pregnant ladies. Bangkok has been flourished over the years and thank goodness for that ,it make hotels closer to the malls for middle incomers affordable.

Checking in at The Berkeley Hotel , which was walking distance from Platinum Mall. This was where I got my loot for Royce two years ago. Before I headed out , I took a shot at my baby bump. I
want to send a reminder to mummies to be more diligent in putting the stretch mark cream. I was ignorant during my pregnancy of Royce. I did not see any stretch mark until I gave birth. My 'battle scars' scarred me still 21 months later.

Looking sharp from this angle
if you can see my battle scar on my tummy
I brought my dermatix stretch cream. One of the smallest stretch cream and non -sticky cream.


This is one the stretch mark cream I used and  it works
At Central World , we didn't get to find cheap deals for babies .However, You can find kids' store such as Mothercare or H & M kids . it did not seem cheaper than Singapore. However, Central World is one place you can bring your running tods and let them ride the kid's train

My mission to purchase for Adele, only kick off on the third day.  Maybe I have bought some necessity for Royce, I felt we have lesser to buy this time. I had to squeeze into my brand new Melissa shoes , and i felt my feet expanded after that.

it was uncomfortable for me at this point . Wear comfortable shoes ,
round shoes will be more comfy, 


 
 
The mummies was exchanging baby bumps phots on the forum and I was excited to show off mine too. :)

  Mama and Papa Koh bought :
  1. 3 sets of  romper with cardigan and pant at 250baht per set.
  2. Luavle Friends set of rompers at 300 baht
  3. headband and a socks(SGD $12).
  4. 4 Pair of slippers at 200 baht
  5. Royce's pants at 280baht
It was a good buy from Platinum Mall !!!
Happy Purchases

Maybe my stomach is bigger this time round. I had a lot of attention from women in Bangkok. They seemed fascinated with my tummy, or it could be the protruding belly button. They keep asking me how many months I am. I am intrigued by their fascination. Travelling in Bangkok, I felt tired all the time, I wore the new Melissa shoes that I bought the day before. I realised my feet expanded and it was a tight squeeze after wearing the shoes . I had to rest and stop at a café at Platinum , didn't had the energy I had before I was pregnant. Thank God for an understanding husband .
It was a satisfaction to be able to get so many stuff that you can't get in Singapore at the same price.

Trying to get good buys from Bangkok. I always wanted to buy Melissa shoes for Adele, from Royce's growth of his feet. I felt that Adele will outgrown them very fast. However I did manage to find Mel by Melissa with the same bubblegum smell at good price.
 

After the happy buys and purchases, we jet back to Singapore . Manage to get Royce a trolley bag . And Papa conveniently used as hand carry luggage. For Pregnant Mummies , please note that Changi Airport has priority queue for Taxis. I got a cab under 2 mins... :)

Look's who jetting back happily with his new found School bag :)

[Sponsored Review ] Choo Mee Sip' n by Ade Oei

12:59 AM 0 Comments
I had a sample Gerber Grabber or a fruit juice pouch and the rest is history. Royce got hooked on it .
I haven't really got a chance to taste it, but Royce recognised the pouch , he will rushed to grab it.Most of the times , I should say all the time, in his excitement , he pressed the pouch and the squeezed fruit juice will all over him. We had to clean up all the time.

I was browsing upon the reviews of the best fruit pouch ,when I chanced upon Choo Mee Sip'n .choo mee
It seems like a solution to Mama and Papa Koh's problem. When it arrived in my letterbox,
I wanted to try on immediately.
Truth to be told, I was quite fascinated how the thing worked. Wanted to find an opportunity to show Mums and Dads how the pouch can really create a mess . Especially when the toddlers are excited and they tend to press the pouch , resulting in the fruit juice to be squeezed out and splashed over the kid's clothes or the floor.  

As you can see from the picture below, how Royce grabbed the pouch excitedly.
Royce always grabs eagerly when he sees the pouch
The instructions are very simple for mums and dads whom doesn't like to read instructions much like me. You can simply read the instructions on the back. For me, I took it out and snapped onto the pouch and passed it to Royce and he gave an eager look that I couldn't resist passing it to him quick.

Here is how it looks , a simple tool and on the right is the instructions
As soon as he gotten hold of the pouch, I was skeptical for a spilt second, because I had a fear he will messed my already messy house.

The advantage of it was it prevented spills!! It has critical flow control valve keeps food in the pouch! (You can tell how excited I am because it solved my very problem.
By allowing him to hold the pouch himself , I do not need to hold it for him . Most of the time , I had to hold him for him because I was afraid he will pressed the juice out.
And for the first time, the entire content of the fruit pouch was emptied , he was able to drink it all.

Choo Mee Sip'n allows him to be more independent as he can hold it himself
That's Royce trying to cap it back
Really great to have found ChooMee Sip'n , don't have to worry about spilling no more. ChooMee Sip'n can be found http://biglittleme.com/  , selling at $15.90 for one pack.

Till the next time, signing off Mama and Papa Koh
