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?
