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 [...]

This morning we went for our 3rd antenatal check-up with Dr Tan Lay Seng at Gleneagles. I always enjoy our sessions with him. He has this delightful persona that makes seeing him each time a pleasure. But that’s also because seeing him means seeing him *points below**heart* A sleeping LBJ lying on his sides His [...]

This is the reason why I’m typing all these down today so I can remember tomorrow — and also to share with whomever that stumbles on my blog for the same experience.

Has it been 2 months already since my first officially whining? Definitely feels longer than that. And since then, my morning sickness (rather known as Around-the-Clock Sickness) has taken a turn for the better and gone Night Sickness. This is a good improvement. No?

How do you describe a Mother’s feeling when she sees the baby in her womb takes form of a Baby? And to know if he is a Boy, or if she is a Girl? Just like how the Mastercard trademarked theirs, the feeling is indeed Priceless. And to that, I say with conviction I was [...]

And now having this Creation grow inside me is just so precious! I can’t [...]

Halfway through this week, the embryo makes its first movements. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait until sometime in the second trimester before you get [...]
