Week 36

Daddy's protective hands over our baby

At 36 weeks, Most of her systems (from circulatory to musculoskeletal) are ready for prime time, though her digestion system — which has done only practice runs so far — will kick into gear as she takes her first suckle at the breast.
She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath.

She swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of her first bowel movement.



She is now weighing at 2.96 kg, head down position.

We are getting nearer to the finishing line!

Every good & perfect gift is from above.

Blessed New Year 2011

New year eve at home
We decide to spend a quiet new year eve at home..
watching tvb drama, lazing on our cosy couch.
At 12 midnight, we heard firework!! We ran to the balcony & saw the amazing sight!!


Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth.


This year will be a good year for our family!

Prenatal Class

We went to our 1st prenatal class at Freemason Hospital.
It was a full-on one day class on a Sunday Morning.
We were given many informations on the birth of baby & the care of baby at home.
We also get to meet other couples who are gonna have babies soon.
We get to share our personal experiences & play some games together.
( Those games & interaction allowed us to have a better understanding of the labour process)

We were given light lunch too! The lady with the lunch trolley is our speaker, Donna.
She is a midwife from Freemason maternity ward & also conceiving her 3rd baby!!
Look at the face of the dolly.. thats how my expression gonna be during those contraction...

I'm both excited & nervous about my labour.
Praying that it will be a smooth one for all of us..

Week 24

This is another big week for our magical growing baby!


Checklist for this week:

1) ears: done

2) fingernails: done

3) lungs walls: secreting “surfactant”.
Surfactant is sort of what it sounds like: a surface-activated fat whose main purpose is to assist the my baby's little lungs during inflation.
My submerged baby is still breathing in amniotic fluid, preparing and rehearsing the lungs an oxygen-filled life outside the womb.

Also by now, her beautiful face is almost fully formed, complete with eyelashes, eyebrows & hair!

According to our obstetrician, our lil' Girl is weighing a good 750g today!
