Baby's Update

Hello,

Another super short update on baby's progress.

I am nearing my 34th week now.
Mummy's weight: 52.5kgs
Baby's weight: 2.1 kgs

Some updates from the internet;

You are 33 weeks pregnant. (fetal age 31 weeks) The baby inside you is now about 4.4 pounds (2 kg) and around 17.5 inches (44cm) in length. The diameter of the head is about 8.5cm. The baby fuzz, lanugo, is disappearing. Your baby drinks about a pint of amniotic fluid a day. You may gain a pound a week (500g) for the rest of your pregnancy. Half of your weight gain will go directly to your baby. The baby is using it's lungs to practice breathing by inhaling amniotic fluid. Your baby is drinking about a pint of amniotic fluid a day now and urinating the same amount. The early baby fuzz, lanugo, is disappearing now and being replaced by actual hair. The nails of your baby are now long enough to reach to the tip of the fingers or beyond and may need trimming as soon as they are born. They may scratch their face even before birth. You may gain a pound a week for the rest of your pregnancy. Do not stop eating or start skipping meals as your weight increases. Both you and your baby need the calories and nutrition you receive from a healthy diet. Calcium intake is extremely important during pregnancy because the baby will draw calcium from the mother to make and harden bone. This can greatly weaken her own bones and teeth because the developing fetus will take minerals from the mother's skeletal structure as and when needed.

Baby has been very very very active lately and i'm feeling a slight pressure "under there". Nervous knowing how near the ending is. Doctor has given me the admission form for me to bring in case of labor and told me all the signs of labor. Eeeekkksss!!! Eventhough my due date was 11th May, her arrival is expected earlier than that. Late April or first week of May. I am definitely not ready. My hospital bag is empty. I don't even have or prepare any hospital bag. Can you believe how hard it is to find a nursing bra my size???? I had to order online which is good because it is so much cheaper. Owh and i got myself a nursing wrap. I don't want to be a flasher if i were to feed my baby in public. LOL!! It's been few weeks since hubby and I keep on disagreeing on baby's first name. Yesterday i decided to just give in because I chose the last name, the name i had since i was 13 ;P . Itupun first name tu i choose too but i change my mind but hubby loves it, so be it.

As you might have realised by now, I am a slight underweight for a pregnant lady. Usually by third trimester, a pregnant woman should be humongous and gained a few kgs at least. The legs and arms and face should be fat and flabby. For me the only thing huge is my protruding tummy. Pre-pregnancy i was always a little bit worried how huge i'll be and how hard to lose all the extra weight. And now at a mere 52.5 kgs ( actually it was less than that ), i'm slightly worried. You see that usually will be my weight even before i was pregnant.

I am always sick. Even now i am back at coughing. I even vomitted once while driving to work that i had to take MC the whole day. Few days ago, my mom read the medical report from Naluri and she started scolding me on my weight. On how i'm not drinking milk, on how little i eat everyday and knowing I won't listen to her, she use a dirty tactic on me. Well I call it dirty because i didn't see it coming. She pulled my husband aside and started telling him to force me to eat and drink milk and i dunno what else they were talking about because i was not there but my husband started being so stern with me after that ;( .

Everyday every hour and sometimes at work he would call to remind me to drink milk. I was hungry at 4am and he bought me McD. Well ohkayyyy i know i should have started drinking milk regularly. It was not a bad experience, the milk was actually nice. I bought Anmum Materna and so far in the past 7 months, i only managed to finish 2 boxes of it. So sikit right.... Maybe that's why i'm constantly sick as well. No healthy diet. It's so weird that i dun have a pregnant woman appetite. I don't really feel the need to eat that much. I'm easily full and i don't really eat junk food.

Well starting this week, milk drinking is included in the diet. Almost reaching my 8th months now so that leave me with 1 whole month to fatten myself and baby. Oh Nooooooo, another 1 month to deliver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scaryyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!

Ok this is officially a rambling mengarut post.

The chocolate ones sedap!

Week 31

Third trimester is really the second hardest. The hardest of course was the first trimester with vomiting non-stop and the infamous morning sickness. By now, i'm having backaches constantly, the baby is kicking my ribs everyday, the famous Braxton Hicks or so it seems, since my tummy constantly harden and soften at any given time, making me breathless.

Progress so far;

Mummy's Weight: 52.5 kgs
Baby's Weight: 1.5 kgs
What I can eat: Anything and everything that I wanted ;)

We did a 4D scan and it's hard to see the baby's face by this time. Note to self: The best time to do it is when you are 5-6 months pregnant. The doctor took a while to locate the baby's face clearly since her unbilical cord is right in front of her face. She actually moves so i can see her little fingers moving. Her eyes were close so i guess she was sleeping? Here's what we can get, see if you can understand and see the face ;)

Mi Amor's Birthday

Hello March, you make me broke!!

Anyway, March has been stupendous so far. My hubby's birthday was on the 3rd of March. Dah tua dah orang tua tu!! ;) Oh and his graduation fell on the same day. Bangga je tengok dia naik DTC UM the same place i've been 2 years ago. Can't believe it has been almost 2 years since I left UM. Don't you think time goes by so freaking fast? Two years. WOW! Saya pun rasa dah tua. -_-"

Anyway, me being me didn't plan anything for his birthday. Not only my mother in law and Nyna were not around, they were holidaying in Perth so I thought just usual dinner and birthday cake so i ordered Pavlova cake from Auntie Nani ( you know, thattt Hanis Zalika's mom) just because all Nally will eat is fruit cakes. He usually buys that sponge fruit cakes which is a lot around the mall and i don't really fancy eating that and he doesn't really eat chocolate cakes/cupcakes/macaroons or anything super sweet so i bought him Pavlova.

Thank God i had the foresight of taking half day leave on Friday the 2nd. Didn't tell hubby as i thought i can run around to pick up the cake and buy flowers at Petaling Street but Oh No no no, when i talked to hubby, he was hinting he wanted to have a gathering with his beloved cousins on his birthday. Some sort of "surprised party" kononnya. So fineeeeeeeeeeeeeee, i had to change my plan on that freaking Friday itself. No birthday dinner and movie. Instead I plan a BBQ sessions.

Amy was a great great big help to me. All I did was called her, told her to do the invitation, ask her to help with the decoration and all I did was buy everything else. The food for BBQ, i asked his cousins to help. Hye sakit pinggang tau pregnant lady nie berjalan merata siap sesat-sesat kat Petaling Street at 4pm and you know how jam-packed it was. Poor me. I was so exhausted running around the whole day. Not only that, Aunty Nani told me to pick up the cake at night. Arrggghhhh nak redah jam pergi Shah Alam on Friday night alone? So I did the unthinkable. I asked hubby to teman me. LOL. Ruined the surprised man. He was so annoyed we had to go through NKVE on Friday night and keep on asking me why the hell did i ordered a cake so far away. Why can't i just buy from Secret Recepi. LOL. * In the future should order from Alexis, sudeyyyy*

Well to make this story short, we arrived home almost 11pm. During that time, Amy has decorate the house and BBQ has been set up at the porch. Hubby of course knows about the BBQ session since his cousin was a little bit clueless that it was supposed to be hush hush and instead she tweeted and make a FB post about the party and tagged my dear husband. LOL!! FAILEDDDDD!!!

We in turn was quite surprised how beautiful the decoration Amy had set up at the dining hall. So pweeetttyyyy with candles and flowers. Love you Amy. ;P So when the clock strike 12, i presented the cake and everybody sang for my dear hubby yang dah tua.

Pictures galore can be seen below; Oh and the cake was gone in a day. Everybody love it so much since no-one ever taste it before. ;)

Birthday boy

The boys

On Saturday itself, we went to UM for his convo and later to midv to watch This Means War. It was the most entertaining movie ever. Two hot guys with an equally hot woman, actions and love and jokes. What a great combination. But boy oh boy at the end of the day, both of us fell flat on the bed and in deep slumber until tomorrow morning. It was such an exhausting weekend.
