Pregnancy Journal Part 4

It's the 5th month of the pregnancy, I am left with only 5 months to go.... I am so happy. Went for a detailed ultrasound scan on 21 April 08. Baby was so comfortable in the tummy that she didn't want to wake up at all during the scan therefore the whole scanning process took me more than 1 hour to complete. Haha... Everything went smoothly except that she doesn't want to turn around for the doctor to see her spine. So in the end, we end up talking to her through my tummy...

Guess what, I told her that she better turn herself around so that we can take a picture of her spine otherwise Daddy and Mummy are not going shopping for her clothes... then she starts turning herself around (a bit only lah). So funny... it shows all women like to shop for clothes and that applies to babies in the tummy too.

Forget to tell everyone who read my blog... I am going to have another princess. Hopefully she will be as cute as my little Angeline. Talking about Angeline, I was so surprised that she loves babies so much. My sister in law just gave birth to a baby girl in March and when Angeline saw her for the first time in the hospital, she kept telling me how the baby cries, how the baby sucks and eats her hand, etc. And whenever we meet up with the baby, she will always be around with the baby. For eg. when the baby cries, she will rush to the diaper bag to take her pacifier for her, when we said that baby needs to change her diapers, she will rush out for diaper, etc.

When my mum is feeding the baby, she will be there to "supervise" her, making sure that my mum will turn the milk bottle so that the baby can drink her milk. Haha... this is not what I expect from a 2 years old girl. I do hope that this behaviour will remain so that she will care and love her little sister and not jealous over her.

Coming back to my pregancy, my gynae advised me to take a blood test to test for Down Sydrome. I wonder why is there a sudden need for me to take this blood test after my detailed scan result is out. Is there something wrong with my baby? I do hope that nothing will go wrong with her. I got so worried that I was having nightmares during the night. I kept wondering what if something is wrong, what if....... so many questions in my mind.

When I asked my female colleagues, they told me that it's a normal practice for gynaes to ask for this test, as a precaution measure only. So nothing to worry about at all. But somehow I feel so worried, scared and I can't do anything at all. I will know the result only in 3 weeks time (my next appt with my gynae). I really have no idea how am I going to go through these 3 weeks.

Just take it easy to make things easier for me or to call up hospital to ask for report in one week time? I have no idea at all. Just pray hard that my baby will be fine in my tummy and when she is out to see the world. I believe that she will grow up to be a good girl just like Angeline.

Pregnancy Journal Part 3

As my tummy grows bigger, I have lesser clothes to wear to office. This morning, I tried to put on my favorite jeans but it can't fit me at all already.

Every day, I got to stand in front of my wardrobe and start thinking what to wear. Though it's only 16 - 17 weeks, but my tummy looks so big. I feel like a pig now. A pig that can't wear presentable clothes, a pig who eats non stop, a pig that sleeps alot too..... :(

I wonder how am I going to go through the rest of the weeks and months. Even if I start to count down now, I think I will die from that. If I am not wrong, I have another 160 days more. Sucks!!!

160 days is about 5 more months to go... At this rate that I am going, I doubt I can continue walking like a normal person by the time I am 6-7 months pregnant. Luckily this pregnancy is going to be my last one and after delivery, I will concentrate on getting back to my normal size before i go back to work. I can't imagine if my colleagues start telling me that I still look pregnant!!!!!!!!

Have to start planning for my colleagues what to do in times of emergency. Maybe I can start shopping for baby stuff... again? It's a tiring and expensive shopping trip lor. Maybe should start asking arounf for babt stuff first before I spend money buying them. Baby stuff is NEVER CHEAP!
