Pregnancy Journey - What Happen in the Third Trimester?

It was the time where you received lots of advice to start prepping and welcome your newborn. I heard them a lot, but it did not push me to get things prepared until I was in my Week 34. That was when I started to look for the basic necessities for labor, confinement, and of course, welcoming the newborn into our life. Here are the tips for expecting mums in the third trimester: #1 Do not overeat. Eat in moderation. #2 You can only gain 500gm per week, 2kg per month. Not more than that. #3 Monitor your hemoglobin count seriously. #4 Get your Tetanus jab if you have not gotten one in your third trimester. #5 Count the number of times that baby kicks. #6 Build the chemistry with your gynecology.

Magnolia pledges to only use quality ingredients hence, that explains the few, tiny black spots. It’s harmless for sure and gives the purest flavor of how strawberry tastes should be. I'm thankful that Magnolia uses the right ingredients to give us the best and enjoyable experience from eating ice cream instead of using colorings or addictive.

Cooking class at Dongnae, Busan

One of the highlights of my Busan trip was I attended a cooking class. Traveled all the way from Haeundae to Dongnae, we met these beautiful and friendly sisters who patiently waited for us at the train station and then chauffeured us to their apartment. Without wasting much time, we made ourselves comfortable in their apartment while constantly amazed by their well-equipped kitchen, tidied living hall, clean toilet, and even, checking the view from the outside. I couldn’t remember their names so I would just address them as “The Sisters” – by right, we were supposed to do grocery shopping and prepare the ingredients as part of the cooking class. However, when we were there, they had prepared everything for us, leaving us to fire up the one and only meal whereas the rest was taken care of by them.
