Yest, Wednesday 20th Aug- Went for my routine check-up and despite being 1st/2nd in queue, we had to wait quite a while.... Well v.typical scenario @ Gynae Koh clinic anyway...
Ok and it's my turn and we can't wait to see bb girl again! But this time round, din get to see precious's face etc cos she wasn't in the best position to be scanned and being captured....she was in fact lying horizontally across my tum tum, meaning transverse postition I think.... ;p Hmmm naughty lil girl... *keke* At the moment, no cause for alarm yet but I must start toking to bb more often telling her to be guai and slowly move her head downwards le.... to be in engaged position! Cos no sooner I'll be in my 32 wks!! So best is bb can slowly moves downwards le....
No wonder I felt a lot of movements from her on the sides of my tum tum recently since last week.... Guess she's enjoying herself in this position currently!! Perhaps tat explains why I felt numbness below my boobs recently!! Plus not sleeping too well especially when I lie on the sides... Haiz... So bb girl pls be good and be head down soon okie! =)
And so as usual Dr Koh measured bb's weight etc..... and I was still telling Dar A that hope our girl will hit at least 1.5kg now, meaning bout 500-600g increase in weight from the last checkup! And.............guess wat, to our surprise bb is weighing bout 1938grams now at bout 30-31wks instead!! Wow!! An amazing growth & increase in weight lor! Meaning she gained bout 1kg in 4wks' time since her last measurement! Tats fast I thought! ;p
Dr Koh was saying that bb is quite big now... and of very good size given that I'm at 30 to 31wks now... and my edd has actually moved fwd to 21st Oct! Hmmmm......... Worry that bb may be big but at the same time happy to know that she's growing well! =)
I came out with the conclusion that mum's brewed tonics & Mamil Mama milk powder does wonder to bb's weight gain!! And I'm greatful for that cos I dun eat much anyway!! ;p
And as of to-date, my weight gain has gone up to bout 10kg le!! And I stil got 2mths+ to go b4 I'm due...and I can't imagine at wat weight I will be hitting the scale at when I'm at my full term to delivery! ;{ Haiz.... just hope bb can absorb the nutrients and be strong & healthy can le!! ;)
My next check-up will be in 3 wks time from now.....
Aft check-up, we grab some bites at Burger King b4 we headed off to Taka for the Baby's fair! ;)
Was really excited to shop again for bb cos eversince Nic's sickness, I was really feeling v.down... But now that Nic is recovering and coping well again, I felt really relieve and more at ease! At least he's eating well and more to his usual self again which is a good sign! =)
The fair was really big with lotsa stuffs..... we slowly took our time and buy wat we needed.... so here's wat we've gotten.. =)
Mickey's cushioned support pillow for me... ;p
Pooh's storage boxes & some bb's toys... ;)
Baby's dress set, Bean sprout husks pillow & casing and Avent's products.

Pigeon's baby wipes, cotton balls and maternity pads.
Think I need to get more pads and my frens has advised me saying can actually get those normal heavy duty sanitary pads, not necessary maternity pads... ;} So see when I go down to Chinatown to stock up on the pads.... ;p
And finally the
Kiddopotamus's spree stuffs I ordered have arrived...
Cushioned car seat's straps covers
BeddieBye zipped blanket

Swaddle Blanket
Think I only left the following stuffs yet to be purchased:
>Nursing bras >Breast pumps >More sanitary pads >Aft birth girdie >Bottom spray >Musical cot mobile >Baby aft birth powder
Other than tat, we are more or less prepared on the stuffs needed le... ;) Except for washing of bb's bedsheets & stuffs and setting up of the baby's cot! :D
