At 38th Weeks

38th Week

Mummy weighing 59.80kg. Gained 2.3kg.
#2 weighing 2916g. Gained 229g.

What a whooping 2.3kg I've gained in just 2 weeks.! I made the nurse re-weigh me, rub my eyes, yes.! 2.3kg gained.! Never in my life I'll gained 2.3kg in 2 weeks. Even with Lervin. Lol.! Nurse said maybe it's the last growth spurt. Well, maybe it is. Every pregnancy is different..

While waiting, I asked Lervin want to take photos? He walked and leaned against the counter and I snapped.!

After 1hr wait, finally it's our turn... The moment we stepped into the room, Lervin will walked all the way to the sofa, grab a bear and hug it. He never fails to do it during each of my visits. thus always bring a smile to our faces including Dr Wong. =)

My 2.3kg caught Dr Wong's attention. 'Well, you've gained a little more then average. tt's gd.!' Good? It's scaring me.! I'm still trying to go natural...

Hopped onto the bed and did the scan... Leroy's head is heading further down. Still as active as before. Kicking and squirming around thru'out the scan. =D Heartbeat gng at 140, water still alot. Lastly did a VE again. Not dilated at all. Guess I'll have to continue the waiting game till he's ready to meet us. =)

Babies at week 39 weigh about 6.8 to 7 pounds/ 3 to 3.2 kilograms and continue to build the fat stores that will help regulate body temperature after birth. Your little one's organ systems are fully developed and in place, but the lungs will be last to reach maturity. (Even after your baby is born, it may take a few hours before she establishes a normal breathing pattern.)

Dec issue of Young Parents

Received a letter from SPH holdings. Levin's photo is featured in Dec 08 issue.! Am excited as I've send in few times but not choosen... 1st time Lervin appeared in mag.! hahaa.. After a while I looked clearly at which month he was in. DEC 08. I was like Huh?? Dec Issue now than I receive their letter. Where on earth am I going to find Magazines that is backdated 4 months.?? Immediately I msg my friends to try my luck and even post in SMH wanted to purchase a copy. Lol.! The next day, Hub asked me, "Did you try calling SPH and request? They might have few copies left." Stupid me, didn't even think of this. Next day I called the them and they said they have.! I was so happy that I rushed down the next day to get it and also to redemn the gifts.!



This photo that I've submitted brings back some funny memories between me and Val. hahhaa....

Lervin's 20th month

Been so so tired recently thus haven been taking photos of Lervin...

Even Lervin's 20th Month Updates.!
Let me roughly recall the improvements he had made...
- Each time my mum says, 1,2.... and he will go 3,4..... But I dont think he really know the numbers sequence yet...
- Imitate each of us talking/actions espically the last word and for actions, he loves to make funny steps and it really amuse us. =)
- Finally able to 'smile' when being ask to take photos instead of the 'all features squeeze together' face. Of course the smile isn't natural. hahaa.
- When it's time to bath he knows exactly where to throw his diaper and clothes. He know this quite a few months back.. But this time with some extra improvement..
The bucket for his dirtied clothes is below the table. So he will actually bend lower, avoiding bumping onto the table. =)
Tt's all I can rememeber for now...

Oh ya, hub bought me Samsung Omnia.! I've always wanted this phone. But the price is kinda steep. And I rather use the money to buy stuffs for my
children. So i keep dragging and always hesitate. After hub's repeated 'nagging', he 'dragged' me to M1 shop to get it.
Thanks Hubby.!!!

36th Weeks

36th Weeks

Mummy weighing 57.50kg. Gained 0.9kg.
#2 weighing 2687g. Gained 287g.

He's engaged.! Horray.!! Finally I can try for natural.! =) My friend's thinks that I'm kinda crazy.. Being so excited over going Natural. The unbearable and long hours of labour pain freaks them out. But to me, it is sooo EXCITING.! Being able to experience the Real thing is definitely not easy. But at least once for me to experience the Real pain.! My threshold for pain is quite high and so i hope to go Drug-free. hehee...

I'm feeling very heavy now. Swelling of feet and hands comes and goes. But still not so bad as it's not obvious and I'm still able to put on my normal sandals... It's only the crampy feeling there when I try to get up from bed. And sometimes the Out-of-breath feeling... The tightening of tummy becomes more and more freq and stronger... Do feel more tired recently despite the 9-10 hrs of sleep... Last but not least the punches and kick is definitely stronger and harder. Never fails to make my stomach out of shape.. =) I find that is kinda cute thou. hahaa...

The thick-skinned me went to the nusery and request for glass bottles and I was given 10 of it.! hahaaa. Intending to use it as storage bottles and feeding bottle for the first 1-2 months.

Went for BW today as well.! I'm prepared to deliver anytime.

You may begin to feel an increased pressure in your lower abdomen and notice that your baby is gradually dropping. This is called lightening or engagement, and your lungs and stomach will finally get a chance to stretch out a little - breathing and eating should become easier. However, walking may become increasingly uncomfortable - some women say it feels as if the baby is going to fall out. Also, you may still feel as if you need to go to the toilet all the time.
