Updates on Checkup (",)

BB, Papa & Mama have been growing well (",) !!!! BB is currently 2.2kg (increased 0.7kg within the past 2 weeks) at her 34th week which is in the perfect range, while Mama is now at 52kg (gained 7kg since preg) and Papa at 82.2kg!!! hahahaha...

Papa had accompanied Mama for the checkup this time, but BB was fast asleep during the scanning. Hence, Papa did not get to see all the cute facial expressions that she had performed for Mama previously. During the scan, BB look a little be grouchy though. hahaha... However, this time, after Dr Watt measured BB's thigh bone, she mentioned that BB is having long legs.... she also went on to measure BB's abdomen and commented that she got a slightly small tummy. hmmmm...

BB is active when....

"BANG BANG BANG!!!! BANG BANG BANG!!!! FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!"

yupz yupz... BB will be super active whenever Papa is playing Combat Arms =). Hence Mama always have to place a bloster over the tummy where BB is, to minimise the noise level whenever Mama wanna watch Papa play or be besides him..... well, it seems like it is not only my fault if BB is not a gentle little princess, Papa's BANG BANG BANG plays a part too!!!!

here's a little evidence showing Papa playing.... hahaha

Lesson 3 of Childbirth Education Course...

It is sooooooo unforgettable, but sorry to say, in the wrong way.....

I attended the Childbirth Education Course yesterday... of course... as usual, i did learn some useful and relevant stuff...

However, at the beginning of the class, the Dr Wong showed videos on the different process of women having natural birth, from the crazy long hrs of labour pain to the pushing and screaming of birth of the baby... I could only describe it as "OMG!!!"

Throughout the video, i kept telling dearie that why can't i choose the path whereby my gyne settle for a time and date, and just cut me apart to take BB out??? the whole process of child-birth is scarily scary lor!!!! the way BB squeezed out from there... OMG..... fainted....

Seriously, i do feel that ignorant is a bliss... if i had not watched the video, i might just choose to have the natural way instead... now... i .... seriously... dunno...

Updates of Checkup....

Visited Dr Watt on Monday for the checkup.... currently, i weigh 51.6kg (increased 1.1 kg since last visited 3 wks ago) & BB is ard 1.8kg (gaining another 500g within 3 weeks). BB is still at her "head-down" position with her spine on my left side of my tummy & legs stretching to the top right corner. See, she so steady, everytime when she need to be check by Dr Watt, she will turn herself to the correct position.... else, she will just somersault everywhere.....

What's so interesting about this visit is that BB had performed some facial expressions for me to watch. hee hee... She opened & closed her eyes with a 'blink blink' to look at me & she opened & closed her mouth serveral times too. soooo cuteeee lor. too bad dearie wasn't with me to see all these expressions.....

No more 'Goo-Goo' & 'Gaa-Gaa'

Oh ya!!! I must remember this important point!!!!

"Never ever Baby Talk"

Lesson 1 of Childbirth Education Course...

Together with Dearie, we had just attended the 1st lesson of the Childbirth Education Course last nite... From the course outline, I seriously thought that it would be a boring lesson. But hey, Dr Wong Boi Boi is GREAT!!!! The whole 2 and half hr lesson had been super informative & funny!!!!

Think I had to jot down the stuff that i had learnt before I forget them....

Things that I have learnt on Lesson 1:

1. Antenatal Exercises
- squatting, rotating of bum-bum to strengthening the backbone
- 'bye-bye' & rotating of ankles and choppy thighs to relief leg cramps
- proper head rotation & side-stretch of thickening waist
- stretching back muscles like a cat on fours by tilting the back up & down...

2. Massages on hand by Dearie...
- 'C-shape' hand downwards x2
- 'C-shape' underneath hand downwards x2
- 'C-shape' hand upwards x2
- 'C-shape' underneath hand upwards x2

- 'washing-clothes' hand
- pulling of fingers

3. Proper way of climbing out of bed (NO YAKING BY PARNTER ALLOWED)

4. Nutrition before & after Delivery
- 900mg of calcium daily
- 15mg of iron daily

- should eat more cheeses, soya milk, yoghurt....
- cannot eat raw eggs & fizzy drinks

5. Communicating with BB
- Method A : by the sense of Touch
> using left, right, up & down tapping
> using the butterfly stroke
- Method B : by talking and reading to BB

hmmm.... actually shd have a lot more, but i can't remember them at this moment.... luckily dearie was with me... hope he could remember much more... hahaha!!!!

On ya, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, Dr Wong mentioned that Mummy will instantly loses about 5kg of their weight right after delivery, but as for Daddy.... maybe 1 or 2kg due to tiredness & anxiety only because of water lost, which will be gained back easily after that.... so dearie, TOO BAD!!!! WHAHAHAHA...
