My Life

Please continue to do so baby ❤️

My leg and hand has been swollen since 2-3 weeks ago and it just gets worst. I guess there is no medicine for this until I give birth to Baby Rayner.

This morning Dr Adrian shows his big tummy and head. Everything is looking good and he told us to go back next Saturday.

I am starting my HL next week and I know I should get proper rest before I give birth. But I guess my phone will not stop ringing and I would not be totally void of my job.  Company is just too lean and I am so sure that I will be needed in one of those days next week. 

I am starting to feel anxious about baby's arrival as we are beginning another stage of life together. I have so many questions in mind: Will baby be easily cranky or difficult to handle? Am I going to be a good mum? Will I continue to show patience to my little one? Will my husband take a role in parenting too and share the burden with me?, etc etc.  As much as there are many doubts, I still couldn't wait to meet him. Overall, its been a happy 9 months since I begin my pregnancy. 

Alright, I shld be resting soon as it is past midnight. Nights everyone! 

We went for our week 20 scan last month. And the results... Baby is fine!! I'm feeling so happy that Baby Lim is doing good in my tummy! Daddy Lim is also happy, though he is not the sort to express outwardly. Baby Lim has been active kicking and doing somersault in my belly and sometimes Daddy Lim can feel his movements. I told Daddy lim that we need to prep his room starting end of next month, otherwise I would not be able to do anything by then as baby grows bigger. 

I guess we had also decided a Christian name for Baby Lim. We shall not reveal until later.

I am feeling happy for the past few weeks. I guess its really important to stay happy for Baby Lim. Honestly, I'm feeling excited to meet him. I think Daddy Lim is feeling the same too ❤️

Baby Lim looks like a little 娃娃，so cute. 

And about mummy, my tummy has been growing and I have already outgrown my clothes, I have to wear maternity clothes now. I have also upgraded my panty to L and from L to maternity L size. Luckily, my sis and cousin has clothes to spare me so that I need not buy so many. 

My leg cramps is starting and my backache is still happening as usual. I have gain 8kg so far but I guess this very normal. I am happy as Ah Bii has been supportive of me so far, he brings me to eat whatever I want. 

I looked so bloated haha but for once I'm still happy haha. And yesterday we had Beauty in the Pot. Daddy Lim is getting fat with me but he is happy too. 

For now, we will enjoy the life of 二人世界until baby's arrival. 

 

And this was me the month before I get preggy... I wonder I can go back to my size annot

This Monday, I went to check up with Daddy Lim at Novena in the morning. Honestly, I was never excited to go see the doctor but going to the gynae is something which I look forward to. Because that's when we see how is Baby Lim doing inside, wondering if he is kicking, turning or playing with fingers. 

And gender.. 

It's a boy! Gynae pointed out his penis to us on the ultrascan. It's hard to miss at this point of time. I asked hubby if he prefers boy or girl. He said he wants both. Having both is of course the best but that isn't something I can control right? 

But anyway it's our kid so we will love them. 

Me and Daddy Lim in the clinic waiting for my turn 

Into half of my pregnancy, I gained around 5kg since I got preggy. My tummy is getting bigger to the point I can't see my bottom? All I see is my belly when I looked down. Bending my legs and getting up from bed seems like a challenging task for me sometimes.  I have also accustomed to going toilet once  every night. Backache is my good friend who never fails to find me. 

But I still stay pretty active. I did a lot of walking because I couldn't sit still for too long. Work is still stress but I think I am going to just 'see open' until baby birth. 

Sometimes when I feeling upset with work, I will look at the photo of the ultrascan and it makes me really happy enough to forget my unhappiness. 

See his little feet, I can even count the toes!

Daddy lim is sleeping now and I guess I shld be resting too. Signing off here and shall blog again. 

Baby is 17 weeks old now ❤️ I'm so happy that Baby is growing everyday. I wonder what is the length of baby now. 

Xiong and I have been thinking some names for the little one. We are deciding whether we should give a Christian name. Christian name works well for me and it would be convenient for baby when it grows up. 

These few days has been pretty good for me. I am beginning to shop a bit for maternity as I have outgrown the ones in my warerobe. Went to Suntec City over the weekend only to realise that their stores do not have a maternity clothes and I have to go down to orchard outlets. 

In 3 weeks time, I will be going for Fetal Assessment again. Can't wait to see our baby again...
