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

Short Gateway - Week 20

Last week I and my hubby went back to Indonesia for short holiday

We went to Lembang with my parents in law for fresh air and enjoy the scenery, I'd love it very much

The feeling and experience are very different from Singapore

We went to Tangkuban Perahu mountain, Ciater Hot Spring and Strawberry farm

I missed those time when I was a kid and my parents used to bring me to mountain or villages

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..

Recognize Baby's movement...

Now I am at week 19 and full of energy to do normal activity and routine.
Some observations that I make during this few days when I feel the baby's movement

1. He/she moves more at night than the day
2. He/she moves when I listen to acapella joyful songs and when his/her dad plays guitar
3. He/she moves to get my attention, when I place my palm to my tummy, he/she stops for awhile...maybe he/she feels more comfort
4. He/she moves in the morning right before or after his/her dad leaves for work...maybe he/she wants to get daddy's kiss hehe...
5. He/she moves when I lay down or take a rest in the afternoon...but when I do my household chores, he/she just keeps quiet...maybe he/she knows when to play with his/her mum haha...

Well, it may not all correct but I believe there's a bonding between us
