Our little gift from Above

Initally, baby was this tiny: 0.63cm


then became more like a little bean.

Then the little bean sprouted limbs and a face!

Yesterday, baby was getting so big his whole body couldnt fit onto the ultrasound screen and Dr Don could only scan body parts at a time. We were told baby is boy, and I bet he doesnt know we were looking at him drinking my amniotic fluid on the screen!
Do you know? Babies drink their moms' amniotic fluid, then pee it out again, and drink up their pee mixed with amniotic fluid again when they are in their mommies' wombs!

Hello thirsty baby!

After the appointment, we went to Takashimaya baby fair with Siling and she helped us pick a lovely receiving blankie which says "I love Mommy Daddy"

We also bought AVENT tits to fit the bottles Charmaine gave us, but dare not buy too many because we are inexperienced and dont want to end up wasting $$ on the wrong/unsuitable/redundant stuff.

I also wanted to buy an electronic breast pump considering I will be b/f baby at least for the first few months until I go back to work. But then I had 2nd thoughts and think of seeking advise from forums/mum/friends first because like I said, dont wanna spend $270 on some wrong purchase.

Overall, we're quite excited about being in 3rd - my FINAL - trimester. (Though we had a little scare. Here's why...)
The other night, I felt cramps and contractions at 5min apart, which scared Hubby & me, because baby's not due for another 3 mths!!!

There I was, lying in bed and moaning and gripping Andy's arm when the contractions came and he told me to "Darling RELAX RELAX. Breathe breathe BREATHE. Breathe out through your mouth", when it didnt seem to work he instructed me to "Hon straighten your legs"
Andy: Honey you gotta straighten your legs. Your legs are bent which is causing the pain.
Me: No no no! Dont touch me darling.... I cant move!
Andy: *attempts to straighten my flexed legs manually/DIY* (wth... How on earth did this man get this weird idea?!)
Me: *nearly hit/kick him* ^&$%^@#! DARLING Dont..... *moans* If you straighten them my tummy will stretch and I will feel even more pain............ *moans*
Andy: Oh ok ok... Then you RELAX RELAX RELAX. Take a deep breath. Breathe out through your mouth Hon. . . Yeah do it again...

It happened for half hour until both of us fell asleep and the next morning luckily it was time for our antenatal appointment with Dr Don.
We told him what happened and he ordered more rest for me... because apparently if I experience these premature contractions again I need to be admitted to hospital and be put on a DRIP to delay labour... SCARY!!

Oh God.... pls let baby stay inside until EDD...
