Week 27: End of second trimester!

This week marks the end of babeebee's 2nd trimester! Babeebee has been very actively kicking mama and sometimes forcefully but it's good.. means that babeebee is strong and healthy.  Papa gets to experience the kicks many times since he last felt it few weeks back.

On Christmas eve, papa and mama together with you babeebee in the tummy, went to attend midnight mass together.  It is papa and mama's 3rd Christmas midnight mass together and babeebee's first. Next year this time, babeebee will be out into the world and will be about 9 months old to attend with us together.  The family sitting next to us had a Santa Claus toddler and an Elf baby hiding in Ergo baby carrier.. so cute! Papa says looking at the Baby Elf beside us, he can't wait for you babeebee to come out next year le!

Week 27 tummy. Just woke up from nap, so explains the zzz lines haha

Week 27: Packing babeebee clothes

Last weekend, dadeedee bought a drawer to put babeebee's belongings.  Mummy is excited to put babeebee's stuff into the drawers and so mummy had been busy these 2 days taking out all babeebee's things from the bags / packaging and packing them into the new drawer. Babeebee these are your clothes that you will be wearing when you come into the world.  Mummy will also choose some of Nigel kor kor's baby clothes and add into the collection one of these days. And then in February, granny will help to wash all of it using the baby detergent and we'll be one step closer in welcoming you!!

Hi, i am Squeaky Monkey. I'm babeebee's first toy

Week 26: Big tummy mummy

Lately, mummy's tummy seem to suddenly become very heavy and significantly bigger.  At night, mummy also has difficulty turning due to heavy tummy.  So mummy will turn slowly from one side to another.  3 more months to seeing the real babeebee... how much bigger will mummy's tummy get??

This week, mummy and daddy also got your first diapers as it was on big discount.  Only $14.95 for 90 pieces for New Born Pampers instead of the usual $29.90.  Hence we quickly grab first even though babeebee will only use it 3 months later!

 

Week 25: 5th scan to see babeebee

Babeebee is 6 months plus in mummy's tummy.  Dadeedee and mumeemee are both so excited to see you again for the scan. We had yakun breakfast first before heading off to take cab to TMC for our 9.30am appointment.

For the whole month of trying to control of excessive intake of food and sweet drinks, mummy's moment of truth when weighing on the scale is 68kg! (+1.8kg from last month).  This is already an achievement for mummy as the past 2 months have been consistently +3.3 to 3.5kg each visit. Mummy's total weight gain as of 6 months babeebee is +8kg.

Ideal plan:
Week 29: +1.5kg (to 69.5kg)
Week 33: +1.5kg (to 71kg)
Week 37: +1.5kg (to 72.5kg)
Week 40: +1.5kg (to 74kg)

So for the remaining 15 weeks, mummy should only put on 1.5kg each month! Can mummy do it???

Dr Benjamin Tham is on a 1 month holiday leave as he hasn't taken leave for the past 2.5 years.  So today we are seeing Dr Jasmine Mohd this morning for the scan and review.  It was a very big disappointment....... as Dr Jasmine is really really quick to see us and for the scan.  The visit time in her room is just 2 minutes or so.  Mummy and daddy didnt get to see you very well.  But the good news is babeebee has grown to 740gm from 400gm last month! Grow baby grow!

We are so looking forward to the return of Dr Ben Tham for our next visit!!

Week 25: Fat Tingling fingers

This week, mummy often experiences numb fingers or sometimes fingers become fat and no strength.  Sometimes it is in the middle of the night, sometimes just awhile when holding chopsticks, sometimes just suddenly the fingers become numb and tingling feel with pins and needles.  After some research, mummy found out that it is this that causes this. It should disappear within 1 year after babeebee is born.

This month mummy is also more diligent in eating the 3 vitamins doctor gave (unlike last month and before that where mummy didn't eat the medicine daily....) since now mummy can now eat the medicine with just plain water and not with sweet or fruity drinks le. 3 cheers for mummy!!!
