Baby Ticker

Hmmm... i wonder where my ticker has gone to.... heres an interesting one that i chanced upon. Pretty nifty i must say :)

28th Weeks Checkup

It was Thursday when we went for my 28th week checkup. Dr Tseng did a scan and confirmed the sex of our baby. We are indeed having a girl :) She weighs about 1.3kg right now. According to Dr Tseng, the baby is growing well. I am relieved as i haven't been as anxious/concern as compared to when i first had Tim. I lost a bit of weight... actually around about 2 kg as i haven't been eating well due to yucky episodes of heartburn and an eventful slow week.

Right now, we are contemplating on whether we should let our babes sleep in the same room. It could be a bit noisy for Tim or vice vesa. It could be challenging to have them in the same room as Tim is a light sleeper.

I have been really out of shape and had to visit Dr Yap to get adjustments. I had two adjustments within a week and the first was really nasty; i was feeling lousy all over after that as the bones tries to get back in place. As i type this, i feel that my hips are out again :/ I guess it could be due to the fact that i am still carrying Tim on my hips, causing the imbalance. How not to carry Tim when he is not feeling all that well lately and i really cherish the bonding especially before his sister comes along.

Tim seems to have a better understanding of whats going on now, especially when he saw the scan and is able to tell me when i ask where the baby is. I hope to be able to let him feel the baby kick again. He was giggling away when he felt the baby move some time back.

Progress

I guess i have finally decided to sign up with Dr Paul Tseng from TLC at TMC. Dr Tseng seemed positive about having me to try for a VBAC and that is a first! I am still qualified to try! Yay! :) A lot of people ask me why i am so keen on VBAC... It is the cost and also, being able to get up and about quickly would help me heaps as i have to think about Tim. I wouldn't want to neglect him when his sister arrives.

So, what has been happening? Baby has been exercising a lot in my tummy... more so when i lie on my side. The are many difference between this pregnancy and the last; I put on more weight this time around. I am 64kg now. When i had Tim at 37 weeks, i was 67kg! I look prettier *cough* - hormones related of course. I remember that i had a huge nose and not so nice skin compared to this time. My hips hurt so much! I tend to be more clumsy when i walk. I had bad back problems when i had Tim and my feet swelled so much, i can't walk properly... especially when the veins on my left leg twitches. Nothing of that sort so far.

For both pregnancy, i look fat and not pregnant! Yes, some folks think that i am just fat... or in the early stage of pregnancy. Having said that, i wish i could diet! lol I would rather be explosively pregnant than to have someone tell me that i am fat :P Then again... i think i just prefer me as me ;)

I think i should really go get those books that would help me explain the arrival of Tim's sibling. He didn't seem to understand when i told him about my growing belly and had been rough when he was playing with me. I do fear about raising a child when i had Tim... now i worry about having to cope with 2... I wonder if Troy is able to cope as well... :/
