the melodramatic mouse attempts to blog

Your baby should be measuring about 38cm or more from top to toe. He weighs in at about 1kg and you would have gained about 8-11kg.
By now he has already opened his eyes. If he notices a bright light shining from outside, he would turn towards it. He would blink and may even use his hands to cover the glare.
The baby has also developed tastebuds and sucks his thumb. You may notice you have suddenly developed a sweet tooth because of him.
He now moves a lot in the uterus. He kicks and stretches his body frequently. You might see the outline his hand or foot through your bump.
I wonder if LBJ looks more like me or the husband. Before I was pregnant, I often joked that our baby will have his tiny eyes and my Mickey ears. But truth be told, I just want him to be healthy and complete.
We’re going for our 4th antenatal check-up with Dr Tan Lay Seng tomorrow. And as always, I am excited to see our Little Benjac Junior on the ultrasound screen. I hope he will be awake and give us some good kicks — better if a somersault! — so I can See, Feel and Touch him *melts*
This week I’m entering into my final trimester. That means give or take about 3 months, LBJ will be all bundled up in our arms
I’m not sure why, but I wish LBJ can stay a little longer within. I really enjoy our time together now, with him moving inside and me nudging him from the outside. Once he is born, very soon he will be all grown up and doesn’t need his Mommy anymore *sniff*
Is this what they called postpartum depression? But looks like for mine, it has a “pre” before it

ho yes. wait till u have all the backache and headache and what not. also not to mention dificulty sleeping at night, then u’ll be wishing for him to come out soon! ehhee
abt the face kan, I’m having my 3d scan tonight! eee really can’t wait. heheh hopefully baby x tutup muka. boleh la get a glimpse on how he looks like.
the baju2 plak, I have loads, all thanks to pureen sale. but for newborn size mmg beli sikit je sbb they do grow up pretty fast esp boys! dont forget to buy those front button ones for newborn. easy to wear. also kalau beli brand yg biasa2, its not really pricey la. will cost u around rm8 per piece and since now got discount, its quite a bargain. unless if u go to mothercare la. 2 pieces je dah rm30. hahah. but material wise is quite good. then again, to think of it, yr baby will be swaddled most of the time, so ppl can’t really see what baju he is wearing. hahahaha
alsoooo, air kelapa is really good! orang melayu kata nanti anak jadi bersih je bila keluar. kulit licin la, rambut lebat la. dunno la how true it is. but I love the taste so I dont mind taking it. sedap!

aiks sekarang memang dah backache, headache, leg pain, shoulder pain, whole body pain la! *LOL* lepas bersalin, I rasa still will have all these pain. but no more baby moving inside
how much is your 3d scan? i asked my obgyn, he said waste money *LOL* but kalau nak buat, up to us la. my friend did their for RM150 for 5 shots. means RM30 per piece.
baju asalkan 100% cotton should be fine kan? better invest in nice swaddle blanket since like you said, baby will be wrapped up most of the time
oh yesss! i love air kelapa. can overdose ke? wanna take alternate days, but gotta wait for hubby to buy. i haven’t driven since july, or gone anywhere myself since i still get vomit spell kalau hidu anything tak suka. dahla sekarang jalan pun sakit kaki *boohoo*

true! my gynae said the same thing too. initially i dont wanna do it, coz i think its a waste of money too. ahhahah tapi kat vision college will cost u only rm60. then can get 4d scan some more (video). for you still sempat kalau nak book. coz they only accept momma below 30 weeks. or else have to do it at other clinic or hospital la. which is a bit pricey.
oh btw vision college tu satu row dengan UBER! hahahahahah nearby baker’s cottage. memori betul.
but then again, I guess when u almost reached 32 weeks or so, it get a bit exciting to see the baby’s face yg non stop kicking at u.. and responding to yr touch and everything. kinda anxious lah. oh before I forget, the scan for tonite will be rm130. still ok la. if u go ampang puteri or other hospital around rm200+ i think.
