the melodramatic mouse is now mellomom

14 Dec 2009The first time we saw LBJ on the ultrasound screen, he was a tiny seed measuring at 5mm. Since the last antenatal check-up, he has already outgrown the screen. So we can only guess that he is about 38cm to date ♥
Can you spot LBJ’s spine?
Babies are born with 300-350 bones!

I’m very happy that LBJ is now already in the head down position. That means the possibility of breech is lessen and I’ll very likely to have a normal delivery *fingers crossed*
My due date has now moved to 6th March 2010. That’s another 2 days backslide, making it a total 5 days later from its initial 1st March 2010. But then again, that’s just an estimation. LBJ could very well decide to stay in his home sweet home until 42 weeks!
An update from last month’s weight watch. I assure you that I am definitely not dieting! I’ve gained 3kg – previously 5kg – making it a round total of a 10kg increase since my pre pregnancy days. I ought to be gaining another 6-8kg (or more) until delivery. Will I ever go back to forty-eight? *pouts*
With my bigger frame and growing bump — measuring 97cm all around! — sleeping has gotten more challenging and my feet feels like two puffy buns with burning heels at every step. Hopefully my new roomier sandals will help!
Do I still wish LBJ will stay within a little bit longer? I might begin to have my doubts

nyeheheh told ya! anyways last 2 weeks my baby was head down as well, but last week, he pusing atas already. dont worry. give them time coz there’s still space for them to move around. the deadline for them to head downwards shud be around 34 weeks. thts what my gynae told me. then again, I’m almost 32wks and if he’s still in breech, I’m getting a bit freaked out. already weighing at 2kg, I’m sure he got not much space to move around. aaaaa. takut!
and I have posted the picture on my blog. 1 saja la. the clearest amongst all. hehe

Yes la, but I still wish he would. But minus all the aches and puffiness. Are your feet swollen? Mine like getting fatter, especially after the weekend of going out
Try going down on all fours to help him turn around. Or do some pregnancy exercise to help him get into position. I will be blogging about that soon too.
Oh Happy Birthday Mommy! Comelnya your son wishing you *keke* So he looks like you or MNN?
