Ninth Gynae Visit

We visited the gynae immediately the next day (on 18 July) after I got back to Singapore. Sweetheart has been staying at Steven and Anita's place, and I understand that her brother and his entire family has taken good care of her.

Today, I know that Dr Yang will definitely be measuring Baby girl to see how much weight she has put on...and to our pleasant surprise, Baby girl has put on about 1kg during this four-week period! Officially, she is about 2.6kg now, so Sweetheart and I are both very happy. Actually, Sweetheart has not gained much weight since the pregnancy -- as of now, she has only gained about 7kg, so I'm happy that Baby is at least growing well.

Dr Yang said that as Baby gets bigger, it gets harder to see Baby girl. However, we do have a photo of Baby's face here:
In the photo above, you can actually see Baby's eye socket and nose! Baby is at the right "down-ward" position, but still not yet "engaged", so that's good. Also, Baby girl's heartbeat was being monitored today, and we are happy to state that so far, everything is good!


We also did more shopping, and here are some stuff we bought (with the "mothers vogue" baju from Nikki) in preparation for Baby's arrival:


We estimate that Sweetheart will be giving birth during the first 2 weeks of August. This means that within two to three weeks, I will be a father! Wow...not sure if I'll be able to handle this new experience, but then again, I will do my absolute best!
