Week 33 - Visit to Dr Fong

Visited dr fong today, Sarah has gained 600grams in 3 weeks. She is now on par with the ideal weight for week 33, 1910 grams. HOORAY! well done girl!

during the ultrasound scan, dr fong commented that Sarah was yawning. will post picture of today's scan once i managed to digitise it.

flo is very relieve about Sarah's weight gain, she commented that i can no longer 'scold' her for Sarah being underweight!

Equation

We wonder who sarah will look like? mi or flo?

Romeo junior

Romeo junior is borned on 18th April 2008 at 0458 hours! next will be sarah's turn! i wonder when will she choose to arrive? hopefully not later than the EDD or flo will get impatient and more grouchy than she already is!

Weekend shopping summary

went shopping for sarah's stuffs over the weekend

we

how busy can one get? head almost under the water now, with the preparation for my exam and sarah's birth. but its been fulfilling and satisfying with each completed task. every time we think that we have completed everything, there are just plenty of new things around the corner to be done. luckily i have chief motivator flo beside me. haha.

got a chiding from flo for spending 1 hour to put together this gif picture at the top, she is worried that i cant complete my studies on time! but i love this series of photos and been wanting to do it since i had the idea hovering in my mind from last week. i think she likes it though.

Pop

Flo's belly button is starting to pop out as sarah continues growing! No visible stretch marks yet because her tummy is covered by thick coat of stretch mark prevention oil every night! lets wait and see till after the delivery to see if it really works!

Week 30 Update

Went for an appointment with the obstetrician today, Sarah has gained about 350grams in a month. according to dr fong, she is about 200 grams or 13% off the ideal weight of 1500 grams. nagged and nagged at flo for her inconsistent calcium intake. from now on i will personally pound the pills and see to her intake!

At week 30, sarah will start producing B.A.T, Brown Adipose Tissue. this is similar to the kind of fat found in hibernating animals. this will be sarah's main source of heat production after birth, because newborn babies have a limited ability to shiver, sweat or move to regulate their own body temperature. Her brain is starting to grow in size and complexity as well, and the pupils of her eyes can now respond to light! according to flo, sarah is so active at night because of me watching tv in the room, the light from the tv is disturbing sarah's sleep! :<
