Baby updates at Week 20

I've finally reached the half way point of my pregnancy. So far it has been a wonderful experience.

I'm glad that I didn't have to experience all the morning sickness and other discomfort that pregnancy will cause. As usual, constipation has been around since before my pregnancy but I've made an effort to drink lots of water and eat lots of fruits hence I believe it's slightly better now than before my pregnancy.

On occasion, I've experience heartburn but that happens when I eat and lay down immediately. So now I try to walk around or sit up for awhile before I lay down.

My bump at week 20

So here's a little update on my baby and me!

Week: 20 weeks and 2 days!

Size of baby: Bannana

Length & Weight of baby: I'm scheduled for my FA scan tomorrow so not too sure about my baby's growth! But I sure can feel her/his kicks! It's getting stronger and alot more active! Usually at night or maybe when my husband is around. Baby loves to hear papa's voice and guitar playing.

Something quite amusing, my baby never fails to nudge or kick me whenever my hubby plays "Isn't She Lovely" on the guitar! Maybe is it a hint to us that our little one is a GIRL???!!!

Craving: As usual, I crave for yogurt, sushi and bread!!!

It's been a while since I had LJS breakfast!!

Healthy lunch.. i would say... hehehe!

Recently I went to Baby Fair 2013 @ Expo!! First time entering baby fair and my goodness! I experience the worst cause it's sooooo crowded! Mothers are all pushing their prams within the narrow walkway / passageway. Kan chiong fathers / mothers are pushing their way thru to get their goodies and didn't even bother to see if they knock down any preggies mummies!!

I almost fall and my tummy got knock by one or two people until I got so pissed off that I refuse to walk any further in and decided to get what I came for and get my brother to help me qued up and make payment.

Will post on what I've purchased during the Baby Fair on my next post!!

Excited to see my little one tomorrow.

See ya!!

My little blessing at Week 18

Currently I'm at week 18. Many people said that this week is an exciting week cause I get to feel my baby's movement.

Actually at week 17, I felt my baby's movement but it's not as strong as it is at week 18. Another 2 more weeks and I will reach my halfway point of pregnancy. Can't wait for week 20 to arrive soon as we will get to know baby's gender!

Am I too fat or is my baby growing well??

Week: Week 18 & 2 days

Size: Baby is the size of bell pepper

Craving: Recently I've been craving for sweet juices, especially Power berries! I still crave for mee siam and yoghurt.

Illness: Bad headaches still stick with me... I'm not sure if it's because the weather is too warm or I'm a baby baking oven hence the headaches?

Check with my gynae on this and somehow it's seems that there is no cure nor anyway he can help me to ease my aches. Only to advise me to have proper rest and drink lots of water. Hmmm.....

Clothing: I can't fit into my regular Polo tee!! Now I can only dress myself in those loose tee shirt, dresses and no more tight jeans. At week 13, I can't button my jeans. Now I can't even zip all the way up... Time to get those maternity jeans or change to leggings.

Thought we are unsure if I'm carrying a boy or a girl.. we have more or less decided on their names...

I would much prefer baby's girl name to be Michaela but some how hubby like Danielle. Simple reason because its the female version of Daniel. -__-"

My lazy hubby refuse to budge and Danielle has grown on me... so i agreed.

Gender reveal on my next scan! ^_~

See ya!

Hey there! A little update on myself!

It's rather rare for me these to have the energy to sit down and start to type out my post.. cause ever since I got preggy, my energy level is just super low. All I want to do is eat and sleep especially when its on a weekend.

So here is a little update on my baby bump

Week: 16th & 4 days

Baby Size: Of an avocado

Length: About 11cm from head to heel

Weight: Last I checked, I gain about 1.5kg. 

Craving: Sour & Sweets stuffs (Eg, Tom Yam, Mee Siam, Yoghurt, Cranberry Juice and Kiwi)

Sickness: As I entered my 2nd trimester, I said "goodbye" to my nausea feeling which I constantly have when I was in my 1st trimester. However, I seems to have this nagging headache that is constantly bugging me. The pain is still bearable which if i concentrate on other stuffs, I will forget about the ache.

Guess it's time for me to go for neck and shoulder massage! 

Prenatal Preparation: I've been contemplating to sign up for prenatal yoga... but I kinda of lazy. Cause the center is at Tanglin Mall and I worked at Bencoolen Street... Not exactly the easiest way to go there. So I'm still considering thought I can start to join anytime now.

I tried to let baby listen to more music (Eg, Jazz, Classical, New Age and Bosa Nova) and I picked up reading again. So before bedtime, I will read my novels and listen to music for baby's simulation. And on alternate days, I catch up on my TV drama. =)

My current favourite. 

Recently I'm abit lazy and lag on my scrapbooking pages.. which I will try to catch up as soon as I have that little burst of energy again! 

Did I mention my baby's gender yet? Hehehe...  Keep it a little secret first cause I am scheduled for my 20 weeks screening in a month's time. Which then we will have a confirmation of our baby's gender...

So excitied and I can't wait to see baby via the ultrasound again! 

Have a great weekend!

Xoxoxo,

Felicia
