Durian cravings

Check out Karyn's reaction to her first real exposure to durians - outside Mummy's tummy...

While Karyn was still in Mummy's tummy, she had already 'tasted' durians. Not just once, but 4 times. Though 3 out of those 4 times were not the real fruit, but the processed version in the form of durian rolls from Angie The Choice.

Actually Mummy was afraid to put on too much weight and feared getting gestational diabetes which might result in a large baby. So she had to fight the constant durian craving that plagued her throughout the entire 3rd trimester.

What made it worse was Ah Ma and Ah Gong frequently goes to JB where there are cheap and good durians which they would buy back upon request. All Mummy had to do was to verbalise her wishes.

In such a tempting situation, Mummy had to exercise extremely high discipline and only indulged in the occasional durian roll, a couple of weeks apart, so as to spread out the calories.

Now that Karyn's finally out (at 2.99kg instead of the 3.1 kg that the gynae had predicted), Mummy finally has the chance to pig out on durians!
