Week 21: Pomegranate

Hi Sweetheart,

We had such an amazing detailed scan. It was so fast! Way too fast that we finished in less than 15 mins and how I wished I had more time to look at you.
I guess talking to you helps and you maintain a sleeping position in the beginning and only started waking up towards the end of the scan.
Your growth was right on track at 19 weeks and 4 days though you had thighs the length of a 20week baby weighing in at 311g. So, a supermodel in the making?
No surprises on the gender, get ready for a world full of pink.
Both the gynae and TCM are happy with your growth, it looks like, we are really right on track for the big day!

Last weekend, we had a Qool staycation at Quincy Hotel. Did you have fun eating and sleeping and swimming in all those Ice-Cream that we had? Do you like the diaper bag we bought for you? We can't wait to see you in the gap baby rompers and the baby swaddle! :p



This week, you are the size of a pomegranate! Wow, about 350g in weight?

We are more than halfway through this journey and getting excited by the minute. Mummy can definitely sense your excitement by those forceful kicks. I guess you little house is getting too squeezy for you huh?

Everytime Daddy tries to feel you, you will trick him by not moving, and the moment he lifts his hand, you'll start your little disco again.

Last night, Mummy was sleeping and started thinking of all the unhappy stuffs that happened. I was crying so badly and so worried for you. As Daddy was calming me down, we put both our hands on the tummy, and suddenly, you gave such a hard kick! Imagine both of us looking at each other in the dark, feeling so grateful for this little life growing inside me. Feeling so happy that you were trying to make Mummy feel better.

Nothing could ever replace the bond we have my darling.

We are so looking forward to your arrival.

Love,
Daddy and Mummy

Week 19: Mango



Baby is 19 weeks now and we are off to detailed scan tomorrow. Gynae has made her convincing guess on the gender and tomorrow's the day to confirm. Hopefully we have a healthy baby. It's a new milestone for me to reach 20 weeks.

The bump is getting more obvious now. Weight gain is steady, I think I have gained close to 3kg so far. The nose bleed is still around. And this week I'm nursing flu and sore throat.
Sore throat was so bad that it kept me up all night. But it also gave me the opportunity for me to experience baby's karate's kick! That was such an experience. :p

Anyway, more on baby when we are back!
