Bought a puj tub

I bought something interesting yesterday for the baby, click to play the videos below to see what it is. :) The lady in the first video is actually one of the product developers. The next 2 are independent reviews who talk about what they think after using the product.


The usual price is US$40. I bought it from another pregnant mom yesterday because she had 2. She's a first-time mommy due in 2-3 months time. She bought one for herself, and during a baby shower her friend bought her one too. So she sold her extra one to me for $20.

It's a great product because most tubs are too big and the baby can slide around inside even when buckled. New-borns barely have neck control and are not to be able to sit up, and can drown in just 2 inches of water.

Sour stuff seem to help

Hmm... sour tasting stuff really seem to help keep the food in my tummy down.

Yesterday hubby and I were talking about getting giam sng tee (咸酸甜), like preserved sour plums. But I don't want them. They are so highly preserved, and are made in China, I do not know what chemicals they may contain.

This morning, I feel giddy, and I had a few strong coughs... maybe the coughs are my body's way to mimic vomiting. LOL

So I tried something sour like orange juice. Hmm...that seemed to work.

Oh no. There's so little orange juice left that I finished it in 2 gulps. Grrr...hubby... -_-"

Hmm wait...there's cranberry juice. *sip sip* :) This seems to work for now.

I feel like puking.

My appetite was good this morning. I ate half a cantelope and an oriental sweet potato (very nutricious for baby, has all sorts of vitamins, minerals, fibre and folate!).

For lunch, I made Bak kut teh(garlic-pepper-pork soup). Drinking the soup felt good. Pepper keeps the mother's body "warm". But some how I feel queasy. I couldn't eat anything, not even the lean pork in the soup. :-(

I feel like puking. I wonder if it's because baby is having some kind of motion sickness. Maybe he's upside down.

But I'm not really puking (like those pregnant women I see on TV), just feel like puking. Heh heh. Well at least I think I had good nutrition this morning, having a hearty cantelope and sweet potato breakfast coupled with Organic Whole Milk. Perhaps I shall have another bowl of peppery-pork broth, and head to bed for a nap. Just sleep away the queasiness. :) I'll wake up later for a fruit-and-yogurt snack, and stir-fry some veges and eat meat from the soup tonight.
