17 and Counting....

Today marks week 17th. Baby is 17 weeks already. Can't believe how time has flown by. Before you know it baby will be out in our arms. Spent most of last weekend celebrating Father's day. Baby had a feast on crabs. Crabs for sunday lunch and dinner. Yum yum!

Update from Gynae:

• Baby is doing very well.
• Length is about 10.5cm
• Gender: Unknown cos baby doesn't want to show between the legs.
• Mummy: Is gaining weight too fast. HAHA! 2.4kg since the last check up. Diao!

Oh so Romantic...

Today marks week 16. Baby is 4 months old.

Didn't really plan to celebrate but mummy and daddy had breakfast together this morning. This is something really rare as daddy usually goes to work slightly earlier and mummy tends to sleep in a little more. Daddy was able to head in to work late today so mummy requested to have breakfast with her then send her to work. =) Daddy said ok agreeing the sacrifice that 1/2 and hour of sleep. =)

The morning was covered with thick dark clouds and the rain poured down heavily. There were even some reports of flash floods on the radio but that didn't dampen their mood. It was a nice romantic walk hand in hand under the brolly from the car to breakfast. Mummy had mee siam while daddy had his usual toast, eggs and kopi.

Mummy can't wait for this Saturday's scan of baby. She's really hoping that she'll be able to see the gender so that she can start purchasing some cutie stuff togther with her dress orders from the states. =)

A proposal exactly 3 years ago.

Today marks the start of week 15 of the pregnancy. Was feeling a little fluey this morning. Not a good sign. I do hope that it will go away somehow on its own without blowing up. Being sick is not good for mummy or baby. Slept with the aircon off last night. It was a torture for hubby as I was tossing and turning from the heat but with the aircon on, i couldn't breath cos of the block nose. But he was still a darling and kissed me in the morning when he waked. Baby has been growing well I think. Once in a while I will feel a slight stretch on the left side of the tummy. Wonder if baby is kicking... 1.5 weeks to the next scan. EXCITING!

This morning also marks our proposal anniversary. One of the few anniversaries we celebrate. Oh how time flies. Its already been 3 years. The scenes are still so fresh in my mind. It seemed as though God was on his side planning the proposal. I remember driving to Indiana Tea House where I was suppose to meet my girlies for dinner. I was not very familiar with the route and ended up taking a longer route. On the way it was drizzling slightly but somehow I felt God's presence with me. I even saw 2 full arcs of rainbow which was right infront of me while I was driving. It was absolutely stunning beyond words. When I reached the Tea House and parked my car. I saw the most beautiful Sun in the distant horizon. At that moment I rang then bf now hubby to tell him I miss him so much but his phone was off. Little did I know that he was already in the restaurant waiting for me. =) Awwww.... what a perfect romantic proposal it was.

Week 14

Today we've finally reached week 14. Seems like not too long ago that we actually discovered that I was pregnant with baby.

Week 14 has improved certain aspects of the pregnant mummie's life. Sleep is much better as there is not as much frequency to head to the toilet to pee. At most its once a night or none at all. This is quite good. Cravings wise... not too different. Bread has seem to have gone bland on the tongue. I prefer food there is more flavoursome and salty. Hunger pangs have decreased slightly. Its amazing how I can don't feel like eating this minute and the very next minute I'm super hungry and I want to eat right now. Just like right now, i feel like a plate of fried noodles... hmmm YUM!!!!

Since last week mummy has started to swim a little. Not as much as she use to as she wants to be very careful of the little baby inside.
