The Last Week of 2nd Trimester - Week 27

My pregnancy is coming to week 27, the last week for 2nd trimester
I gain weight 7.5 - 8 kg so far from the day before my pregnancy (58.5 - 59kg)
I guess it's because I ate a lot over the weekend hehe...2 portions and more from what my hubby ate :P

And I have been walking a lot during my weekend shopping therefore my leg now is a bit swelling....I must take a lot of rest now otherwise my leg becomes elephant leg :p
So far everything going smoothly and my baby inside is moving regularly...but my mood is swinging up and down *sigh* hopefully it's just temporary.

I will be seeing doctor before my trip this coming weekend to make sure that my baby is alright and I am fit for travelling

Happy Week 25

Baby Development - Second Trimester

Update in week 24 day 4

We went to do regular check up yesterday and of course to see our little one.

Unfortunately, he's sleeping and it's so cute, his head and leg were so close hehe..see the above picture.

Perharps his bone and muscle are still flexible therefore he could fold his body well

Baby's weight : 650 g, increase 250 g from 3 weeks ago

My weight : 57.4 kg, increase 700 g from 3 weeks ago

Blood tests result : all normal

Everything so far so good and I still can enjoy my life, eating, sleeping, passing motion

I really proud of my little one...

Good job Boy !!

Stay Healthy - Pretty - Sexy - Week 24

Now I am coming to week 24 and above pic was taken during our friend's wedding on Saturday.
I still could wear the dress that I wore last year ...I guess after this I couldn't wear that dress anymore cos my belly and breast are getting bigger and bigger
Some people still can't recognize that I was pregnant haha...
but I feel good about it as long as I stay healthy, pretty and sexy
My weight gain so far is 6 - 7 kg ( now my weight is around 57 kg)

Oh ya about my little baby boy, now he can hear us and respond as well.
Beside he has regular time of sleeping and wake up...
He usually wakes up at 8am, 4pm, 11pm
When his dad calls him at night, he responds by kicking and punching inside my tummy
We are so happy playing with him everynight
Good Boy !!

Busy Weekend - Full of Activities - Week 23

Now, I've already been at week 23. Indeed, time flies so fast.

I spent last weekend with friends and relatives.

Starting on Friday night, we hanged out with hubby's close friends @ Timbre and listened to live music. Eventhough it's nice ambience, but I found the live music was too loud for me and I could feel that my baby couldn't sleep well...perhaps he danced in my tummy haha...

I didn't drink alcohol therefore I ordered virgin mango margarita and creme brulee

On Saturday, we went to PC Show and managed to get new Sony Handycam for my baby shower and labor delivery...It's crowded but it was okay.

Then we met with my aunt, uncle and cousin @ Bugis - Clarke Quay...

In the evening, we went to visit hubby's friend's mom in Thomson Medical Centre and we also did a little tour and decided to take single bedded room for my delivery hehe...

First, we wanted to choose the four bedded room but we find out that it's not so convinient for us because my hubby won't be able to stay over and this is our first child so it will be a little bit nervous for me to be alone in the hospital

On Sunday, we had our first session of childbirth education course @ Thomson.

There's antenatal exercise and nutrition talks...

Both programmes are just okay and it's not something new for me, but it's good to socialize with other preggies and share the problems together :D

Well, eventhough last weekend was busy weekend but I am happy having some activities...

This coming weekend is another busy weekend haha....looking forward to that...

Wonderful Week 22

Now my pregnancy journey is more than half way

I am very happy and feel blessed for the smooth sailing

Eventhough my bump is still small but I am pretty confident that the baby is doing great inside.

When I went to check up last Friday, I saw other Singaporeans mom to be also had similar bump size as mine, that makes me more confident that I am on the right track.

Besides, the positive side having small bump and big boop is I feel more sexier and not clumsy. I still can wear some of my old tops and save $$$ haha...

In addition to that, our sex life becomes great, I guess my hubby loves it hahaa....

The new development in my body is my skin is more glowing and my face has more acne than before...I guess because of my hormone creates more body oil.

And fatigue starts coming when I am doing long activities for more than 4 hours.

I don't feel false contraction anymore yay...my gynea told me to walk slowly...

Still, 18 weeks to go to see my little baby boy ....

Thanks God for this smooth journey and for Your love and care to us :D

Week 21 snapshots

Sometimes I am wondering where's my xtra kg going...because in a glance, it doesn't look like that I am pregnant hehe...

Week 21 - Mom and Baby Development

Mom Development

I am starting to get stretch marks in my hips..eventhough it's not much yet and since my skin is pretty fair, it's not obvious either :)
I don't gain so much weight yet from the last measurement perhaps only 0.5 kg
So far I gain 5kg from the time before my pregnancy
New development is if I am walking few meters, my lower tummy becomes hard and stiff, my mom said I may get false constraction so I need to take a lot of rests.

Baby Development

So far I feel a lot of movements inside my tummy especially at night and in the morning
even his dad can feel it when he touches my tummy at night...
Perhaps my little boy knows when is the right timing to play with his mom and dad :)
According to the expert, his taste buds developed therefore what I eat, he can taste it through amniotic fluid.
Soon, he can start hearing my voice and his dad's voice...

I am so happy and proud of my little boy, somehow we can communicate each other.
It's really a great bonding between us and I believe that baby has powerful senses than adult since he's still pure and innocent

Finally...it's a boy

Yay, finally, it's been revealed. We will be having a baby BOY...

This is what my hubby wishes for...

I double checked with the doctor if it's really a boy not his finger and the doctor confirmed it

When we saw him in the usg monitor, he was playing with his finger perhaps he wants to play flute or trumpet hehe...

The baby weight now is 289 grams

and my weight now is 56 kg, already increased 2.3kg from 3 weeks ago

We are really blessed, thanks GOD

Amazing week 19

Week 19 is amazing week.

I have full energy to do my normal activity even more.

On the weekend, I spent around 9 - 12 hours outside with friends..

What amazing feeling..

Fetal Development Week 18

Eventhough I haven't felt any baby movement yet, this is the fetal development according to the expert.
Hopefully, soon I will feel my baby movement

Fetal Nervous System Development

Baby Length : Five and half inches
Baby weight : 500 ounces ( the weight of boneless chicken for dinner hehe )
Baby Skills : The art of yawn, twists, rolls, kicks, and punches
Baby's nervous systems are maturing now, include the sense of touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight
The little one can hear the sound from inside my body

What amazing life !

Week 16 Fetal development and my physical changes

Now my pregnancy has been in the 16th week.
So far so good, I have more energy to do my activities

Baby length : 11.2 cm
My weight gain : 0.7 kg from last measurement (on 3rd April )
My belly start showing a little bump eventhough when I wear dress or pants, people still unable to see if I am pregnant haha...

Oh ya...this week I'd love listening the Christian songs especially from Hillsong...I hope my baby also like the songs hehe.

I always pray from the beginning before I knew that I was pregnant that my baby will have God's heart and love His creator starting from the womb.
I believe that since beginning, he/she has already a feeling or conscience.


Fetal Development according to the expert

Baby's eyesight and eyelashes develop rapidly, the weight is around 3 to 5 ounces.
His tiny muscles especially the ones in the back are gaining more strength
Those eye are finally working, making small to side movement and perceiving light

Keep it up Baby !

Week 16 snap-shot

Bye - bye First trimester, Welcome Second trimester

yay, finally, I pass the first trimester. So happy !

And I post my baby development and my physical changes for the first trimester.

Many people said that second trimester is like heaven, can feel the pregnancy and humanity hehe eventhough it's time to start gaining weight haha....
For this past few days, I have been experiencing some physical discomfort

1. More vaginal discharge, it's white milky colour, lucky it's not brown discharge anymore
2. Constipation
3. Excessive urination, almost every one hour I need to go to toilet

As my weight, I gain around 0.5 kg. I guess it's still within normal range

And now I'd love to cook soup such as spinach soup, chicken and vegetable soup, crab corn soup, fake shark fin soup, mushroom soup, bistik sapi jawa, bakmoy. It's not greasy and healthy.
oh ya I'd love omelette as well with soya sauce hmm yummy...

Last but not least, I feel more energy and fresh now eventhough I still need a lot of bed rest
It's ok, because I don't really like going out as well.

Enjoying my second trimester with joy and love !
