Werner is 2.36kg today!

After days of worry that little Werner is not growing enough, I am so relieved that the checkup with Dr Yvonne today shows that my efforts of eating more meals and laying down enough really helps!! Today we see a nice increase of his weight to 2.36kg from 1.77kg 10 days back! Doctor even jokingly tell me that I can cut down on durians now as baby is of a nice weight at last!


Opps.... we still have a box of durian from hubby's yesterday's purchase... hee... guess I will still take somemore before I stop.
:-P

Baby is of a reasonable size to be delivered anytime now, and from the scan, Dr Yvonne says it could happen in about 2 week's time, after Vesak Day Holiday. Let's see if little Werner's birthday will coincide with daddy's (26 May) or sis Joo's (24 May)...
Oh yah.. importantly, before or after the car arrives?....

Week 35

I'm now into week 35 of the pregnancy and baby Werner seems to be having lots of fun kicking and punching my ever-ballooning tummy, more so when there is food in the tummy.

He is a little underweight from our check-up last week though, at a mere 1.77kg (from 1.6kg 3 weeks ago) and I have been instructed to rest more so that he can gain the necessary weight to prepare himself for the world out here.

Daddy and the 3 kids at home have been very supportive. We have changed the daily dinner cooking to catering and the kids have been helping to cook the rice, wash the dishes, laundry (washing machine of course) and doing their own revision for examinations.

Before our next visit to the doctor's this coming Friday, Supermom will have to lay in bed more! (which is what I just did for the last 2 days!)

Baby cot arrived at my parent's place today and it finally made my confinement room complete! Mom has been really lovely, tailoring additional sets of baby's bedsheets, pillow cases, beansprout casings' pillows (oh, dad helped out too with this!), dark curtains for my room, and helping me to buy the stuff for baby's arrival and my confinement. Kudos to Mum & Dad!

Now I am looking forward to being pampered at my parents' place during confinement! Yummy food...

Oh yah... Wilson and I are also awaiting for the arrival of our new car, an 8-seater to fit the huge family... everyone's scolding us for procrastinating on the decision to change the car but then again, we have to live with our late decision for now... being car-less...

Goodbye to our sold Camry... 10 April 08

Hope our new car will come before little Werner does, so that his daddy and me can go for nice dinner dates + movies (& last minute shopping?) before the sleepless "confinement" nights comes in...

Wilson's comments... let's see if our baby is fated to take the car or take a cab.
I am crossing my fingers for the car.. haha...
