Mummy has recovered from 18 Days of Acute Sinusitis

Last 18 days were a terrible period for all of us.. Mummy is down with Acute Sinusitis.. In layman term = Sinus infection. During this period... the flu just won't go off, from the 2nd wk onwards, because of the the mucus blockage, it caused the constant headache and occasional fever strike. Mummy also has since lost her appetite as well as her sense of smell, her interest to go shopping the weekends usually sleep at home. Everything just seem so restless, moodless.

Only on the 13th day, mummy decided to seek for the 4th doctor.. and then decided to go for antibiotics.. Luckily, it is still safe to consume it during pregnancy.. with the 1st antibiotics taken, it does shows the effect.. flu stopped the next morning.. gradually, the headache minimise, and regain the smell sense...

Thanks to Van, she was the one whom has reminded me of this infection.. after checking from the web, all my symptoms matched..
> Mucus from clear to yellow to dirty green
> Constant headache
> Fever
> lost sense of smell

Called the gynae, he kept insisting me to go for H1N1 test or to take tamiflu.. Luckily when i went to the GP, she told me that it is not even neccessary.. based on all the symptoms given to her, she said it will be more wise for me to start taking antibiotics...

Sinus Infection Overview

Sinus infection, or sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. A sinus infection can cause a headache or pressure in the eyes, nose, cheek area, or on one side of the head. A person with a sinus infection may also have a cough, a fever, bad breath, and nasal congestion with thick nasal secretions. Sinusitis is categorized as acute (sudden onset) or chronic (long term, the most common type).

Anatomy of the sinuses (also called paranasal sinuses): The human skull contains four major pairs of hollow air-filled-cavities called sinuses. These are connected to the space between the nostrils and the nasal passage. Sinuses help insulate the skull, reduce its weight, and allow the voice to resonate within it. The four major pairs of sinuses are the:

• Frontal sinuses (in the forehead)

• Maxillary sinuses (behind the cheek bones)

• Ethmoid sinuses (between the eyes)

• Sphenoid sinuses (behind the eyes)

Sinus Infection Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of sinus infections depend upon which sinuses are affected and whether the sinus infection is acute or chronic.

Jiujiu has officially moved his house today...

Jiujiu has officially moved his house day... To us, this is the worst house moval arrangement.. Why we said so:.. He sold off his flat in Sengkang, and shifted to a temporary 4-rm flat in JW.. While waiting to scout for his ideal EM... and which means, he has to shift 2x... Popo has this intention to shift together with him first, and will come over to stay occassionally till bb#2 is out... but.. things went wrong...

Popo called in the late evening to say that the 4rm unit is too crampy to accomodate another adult.. and she has to move in immediately to stay with us... Boxes are everywhr, beddings are also everywhr... there is no planning or clearing at all before they shift...

For the past 2 wks, can really see that popo looks very tired.. of course she does.. she has to help them to pack up their old house... and shift to the small flat, and then move all her belongings back to my place.. and start to unpack..

Let's just move forward.. hope jiujiu can get his ideal EM soon...

Baobei's movie craze - G-Force

All of sudden baobei said she wants to watch Hamster movie aka G-Force... She said, many of her friends are talking about this show in school.. and she wants to watch it too..

Daddy & Mummy seldom watch movie because it is never convenient to bring her along... as most of our shows are either action or PG type.. Lately, we have been going to cinema but watch kiddos movie...

On 9 Aug, we watched "UP"..

We watched G-Force.. it is about a group of guinea pigs which have been be trained to be FBI agents. Really cute..

Baby#2 - Ultra Scan at 16 wks (10.5cm)

Today is gynae appt, so far i'm weighing at 51.5kg, comparing to my 1st gynae visit which is 48.9kg my weight gain as of todate is still quite reasonable...

Blood pressure is still perfect despite having all the shit given by the ILs issue again.. This issue has been going on for years since my 1st preg till 2nd preg.. Can't they just be more sensible to resolve their personal issue w/o affecting anyone else?? Anywhr.. don't talk about it.. IJust let me con't on be the bad guy..

during the scan, Dr Lim  tried to scan for their gender  .. Well, because of the position, it can't be seen very clearly.. All he can say is suggestive gender will be a boy.. why he said so? He scanned the umbilical cord, and juz some whr below it there is another unknown "pop-out" thing and he thinks tt will be the penis..

I don't ask for more,, i just hope that both Baobei & #2 to grows in a healthy, harmonious family environment, whoever who can't do it for the sake of them, i will not hesitate but to stop their contact with us.
