Sunday, July 31
Hi Guys,
So its the last Sunday of the month. I'm not doing anything much. Just took my shower and gonna make my son sleep. That's a real feat because of his super hyper active self.
A real stupid but sort of a dangerous thing happened last night. Being in Jakarta, the pleasures I get are massages. Being pregnant and to avoid my legs from swelling and cramming up, I try to do foot massages every 3 days once. So far, it has been great, but last night, I almost blacked out.
This is how the massage works. For 45 mins, the two legs, two hands, shoulders and the head will be massaged. So after finishing all, it came to my head, and this time for the first time the masseurs told me to tilt my head backwards for her to do the massage...halfway through the massage my shoulders started to strain, so I told her to just concentrate on my shoulders, but something was not right...... I started feeling this sense of numbness and like a sensation creeping up my head and I started seeing black shadows clouding my view. Realising the situation, I told her to top and asked my hubby to pour me a cup of coke. The effects were immediate. I felt much better. Gosh. After awhile I realized, it's because I have low blood pressure so due to this, I can't simply tilt my head and bring it back immediately apparently. This was a first and scary incident that took place. I never knew low blood pressure could be this bad. Oh well. Well, I still haven't recovered from the shock actually. I mean, just imagine what if I had blacked out. What about my kids? How is my hubby going to handle? I slept last night with all these questions in my head and trust me it's pretty scary!!!!
Sooooo, with this in my head, I thought maybe I should take a short vacation with the hubby and kids. I was looking at some deals in Bintan. I had been to Bintan before where my hubby had planned a birthday surprise for me in Bintan Mayang Sari Resort Chalet by the beach. That was a wonderful and relaxing experience and I thought perhaps this time we could go back to Bintan, but not to the same resort because this time I'm with the kids and they are still below 3. So maybe a proper hotel or even a villa would be great, but unfortunately hubby can't make it so plans are scrapped. I guess, the next best thing is when I go back to Singapore in October, probably choose a day at the beach or something with the kids, my parents and my cousins. We had an outing like that and it was awesome. It was really a memorable day. All thanks to my sister's boyfriend for wanting to give her a surprise birthday at the beach.
Yup, so now, things I need to do is, book my delivery suite at Mount Alvernia, confirm my kids' schooling at PCF, spend more time reading. I have to start now, or else once the little one comes out, there will be absolutely no time. The 3 kids will for sure take up my entire time, and I'm not sure if I will have time for myself too. Maybe, when the kids are at school. Hmmmm, I'm also planning to join the Mummy and tots class where I can bring my little one to play and learn too.
So yeah, it seems that plans are all fully laid out more or less.
Till more blogging next time,
Cheers,
Tunitha
