5th month check-up
Today we went for my routine monthly check at the doctor's. As usual, I was thrilled to do the scan. The baby looks bigger already and couldn't fit the screen so the scan was done to show the different body parts one at a time.

We asked the doctor to check on the gender again just to make sure. We looked a long time and it really can't be a finger or two sticking in the wrong places. So that's that. A happy baby boy.

The baby, as usual was moving a lot as we did the scan. We could see him waving his tiny fingers, his little hands were here and there and his legs were seen to be fully outstretched. The doctor commented that he's got long legs. I'm pleased about it. His dad and I don't have long limbs!

We also saw his face formation, his ears, closed eyes, nose and even the nostrils! He's got big eye sockets so there's a possibility he's gonna have big eyes. Frankly, I can't wait to see the baby! :)

The doctor asked if I've started to feel the baby move and I told him he's rather active. Especially so in the night when I'm trying to sleep. He said I should eat then because the baby is probably hungry. Doc also said I should train the baby to sleep when I do because his current pattern will continue after he's born. So training starts tonight!

After months of weight loss, I've finally gained back some. Today's weight check showed that I've gained 3.6kg from last month. And that puts me about just 2kg over my weight before I got pregnant.

So that's it for today, both mommy and baby are doing fine. And the daddy, I think he's thrilled :)

my little girl was active the first time we scan her but it was way too early for me to feel anything but since i've been here, she doesn't move much. it's either the malaysia food OR she's missing daddy. poor thing....i think she will be active again once i'm back home. ;)

5 months already!
How time has flown...I still remember the day I sat in the doctor's office hearing him say I'm 5 weeks pregnant. Today, I'm already 5 months pregnant.

The months leading up to this day have been tough. But I think the worst of the morning sickness period is over. Nowadays I'm feeling a lot more energy in me and less of an "invalid". Although not 100% comfortable, I'm beginning to enjoy pregnancy.

From the various ultrasounds done, we've been lucky to see what looks like a baby boy growing healthily and oh boy, very actively too! He's been moving a lot and loves to kick about whenever I'm about to sleep. It amazes me how he has such perfect timing!

Many have asked what I've been craving to eat, whether I demand for bizarre stuff at the oddest hours. Well, I don't have any of that. OK, maybe once in a blue moon, I do. I can only think of the two times I craved for food late in the night - cucur udang and Pudu's chee cheong fun! Other than that, I don't have any big appetite like how pregnant women are supposed to have.

Our next check-up at the O&G is this weekend. Everytime it's time for my monthly check, I am very excited to see the ultrasound. I love seeing how the baby looks and moves. I guess this is one of the many joy of carrying around a tummy!

Haha.. cravings or not, i'm just glad that she started to "eat". It was indeed a trying time in the 1st trimester. But we have pulled thru pretty well. And we are just enjoying the moment as well as the karate kid inside.

Those who are trying to have a family or have fears starting a family... well don't cos this is the best gift anyone would ever dream of.

Oppss.. i just realised this doesn't look like a comment but rather a mini blog.

Sorry baby for blog-crashing !!
