Finally.......

Our latest trip to the gynae's had been rather fruitfull. We finally got to see baby's features. Ok, so it's not the whole face, but hey, a very nice side profile and that was only after much cajoling from the daddy. The doc was very happy with the pic from the 3D scan too and saved a picture for his own keeping..how sweet.

The grandparents to be said baby has a rather big nose...(i wonder if it's inherited from my side of the family? ha..) which according to chinese beliefs is very good, cos big nose = good prosperous life..so I am not too pissed with the comment. My newphew being the kid, couldn't understand how one is able to take pics of something u can't even see...and started bombarding me with "scientific" questions, including some on the birds and bees...of cos, being the very smart aunty, I promptly lead him back to his parents with the "interesting" questions.

Anyway, back to the doc's visit. Apparently, I have not put on any weight for the last 3 weeks, tummy size remains the same as well. Baby's est. weight from the detailed scan was 1.8kg as on Tues. Dr Chew was amused with my constant weight and asked if I had been on a diet. "Horrors!" of cos not! I am only left with 8 weeks to eat to my heart's content...diet??? u must be crazy. When we asked if baby's size is normal, he said "hmm...not too bad, average." Well, this comment got the very paranoid father panicking! "Not too bad means what? Bad but not very bad is it? Or ok only but not satisfactory???" Hahaha.....now he's getting worried about baby's development and has been urging me to eat and eat! He even forged hunger at 12am on Saturday so he could feed me supper. He said I need to fatten up so baby will be chubby and at least a 3kg. "Roll eyes" Before Tues visit to the clinic, he was watching my diet rather like the hawk..and kept reminding me not to eat too much, else I'll have trouble losing the fats post delivery...now it's green lights flashing everywhere! He even allowed me to get a tub of ice-cream. How unbelievable is that?

9 more weeks to go.....

I have officially hit week 31 today and I am literally breaking into 2.
While I am not super anxious to deliver, I really wonder how long more I have to go through these pains....besides the really bad backaches, there has been many sleepless nites, it's almost impossible to find any comfortable position to sleep in. Lie on my left, baby starts kicking, lie on my right, baby kicks again. Lie on my back...not advisable cos it's no good for both mother and child. So...no sleep. And now...down with some allergy problems..my whole head is blocked! Feels like my whole head is stuffed with cotton wool and it's impossible to breathe thru my nose. Sleeping is once again impossible...the throat is sore....bloody hell..the whole body is sore.
Feels feverish at times and no..this is not due to the increased in body temp. from pregnancy. oh and did i mention my baby loves to play with me? by punching and bouncing on my bladder. I kid you not. I lost count of the no. of toilet trips I made last nite.

So anyway, gifted with 2 days of MC, guess why i am typing away, blogging now? It's because there has been so many calls from the office since 10am this morn, so I fig out I might as well positioned my fat ass infront of my PC in case someone calls again.
Sigh..........did someone mentioned pregnancy is fun?
