mmm..pretty interesting lesson today..we were shown video on the different types of labour namely, home delivery, natural with entonox, natural with epidural, C-section with epidural and water birth. i kinda CRINGED a little~~oppss.. it was kinda freakin me..seeing the crown of the bb's head..the screaming & groaning...but somehow..when the bb is out and placed on the mummy's chest..it was a very heart-warming scene..mmmm...the relief on the mummy's face..INDESCRIBABLE !!
Next up, Mrs Wong did a revision of all the antenatal exercises from Lesson 1 & 2..a good refresher to remind us of all that we have learnt..=) new 'techniques' learnt today was how to breathe in the labour ward..and the importance of hubby's role to encourage and support us while in labour (she also stressed the importance why they need to exercise their wrist and arm muscle..so that they have the strength to hold us during the labour..which can be in HOURS...~~)
The highlight of the lesson must be the "WEATHER GAME"...Mrs Wong will tell us a story..and the mummies have to mimic the actions of the back of their hubbies...(things like rain / thunderstorm / wind / clouds etc) and for the last part..the mummies have to lean fwd and to allow their tummies touch the back of their hubbies.. this is for the bb to interact with the daddies...i tot it was sooo sweet.. hahahah....i guess Dar realli enjoyed it cos finally i am doing the massage for him !!
One very good take-home reminder from Mrs Wong is to REMEMBER to pack a jacket(and perhaps long pants) for Dar in the hospital bag cos the labour room can be VERY COLD..and i definately dun wan him to be freezing in there when i am in PAIN ya..=p

it was pouring when we left AMK..mmm...with my BIG tummy..i can't be possibly gg to Marina Bay to see the fireworks..so Dar & I are heading home to watch NDP @ the comfort of our sofa...c",)
had a urge to bake a cake..but our oven is down ..so the oni thing i can do is a non-baked cheese cake..
thankfully...i have the ingredients in the freezer..just need to thaw it and we are ready for some 'baking'.

Here's the biscuit base & the cream cheese batter...

after 3 hours in the chiller...here's the outcome...
like a little gal..i was happily decorating the cake with M&M chocs..hahahhah

and ta-ta....Stay Happy Always ~~~
just in time to enjoy it after the very spectacular NDP perfomance =)
