Baby items arrive

This weekend, we waited for the delivery of some baby items that we bought recently from Baby Kingdom. They arrived in the afternoon and the delivery man helped to put together the baby cot and baby stroller. We were quite excited as this marks the beginning of us starting to put together a nursery room for baby. So as you can see in the picture, we've got the cot, stroller and baby car seat all ready!

On Sunday, while shopping for our usual groceries we also bought a bit more baby items that were on sale. I guess we will still be shopping around for more stuff gradually, but so far it's been quite nice and fun :) Baby also seemed more excited and happy this weekend. Maybe due to Mummy being more happy too as Papa came back from his business trip and and resumed his chats with baby again. Felt baby kicked more actively on Friday and Saturday in particular :)

Baby's about 23 weeks now

It was my monthly check up at the gynae again on Saturday and always a great time to be able to see baby through the ultrasound scan. I've started taking urine tests ever since last month's visit. I guess this is when the doctor needs to track the expectant mother to see whether or not one develops gestational diabetes. So far so good for me.

Anyway, in this month's visit, Dr Goh went through with us the detailed scan report which we did at Mt. A hospital about 2 weeks back. All's ok with baby for the various body parts were seen to have developed well. After that, Dr Goh checked through the lastest development of our little one with the usual ultrasound scan again. Baby seems pretty 'guai' whenever we do the check up as he does not move that much. Haha. Probably in dreamland at that time :) Now at about 23 weeks plus, baby weighs about 640g or so, which is all normal. Too bad we can't get anymore ultrasound pictures to keep as he is getting bigger, which does not allow for 1 full shot with the ultrasound. I guess I can only keep those images in my mind.....

Other than that, we are still looking around for our chest of drawers/storage cabinet. It suddenly occurred to us that we had better try to get something more child-friendly to minimise any accidents in the future. So we had to re-think about the shape and edges of this cabinet that we are going to get. Guess this shopping around will take us a while more indeed!

Shopping around

For the record, just want to mention that I'm feeling much better already. I'm on the way to recovery from my bout of cough and cold. This time round, it really wasn't as bad as what I experienced during my first trimester, so thank God for that.

Anyway, Dear and I went shopping for a chest of drawers over the weekend. We're thinking of putting one in the guest room so that we can keep our baby clothes and stuff in it. We saw some possible options at IKEA, VHive and even a furniture shop in AMK Central, but have not decided on which to get. I guess we are still keeping our options open and will still look around a bit more before making our purchase. I guess being pregnant is no joke when it comes to shopping around! I became really tired out after all the walking and felt so sleepy by the early night. Haha...maybe it's due to the extra weight that I have to carry as I walk around all the time now. :)

Well, our next gynae appointment is this Saturday again. Look forward to seeing the hard copy results of the detailed scan we did at Mt. A hospital recently. More importantly, looking forward to see our baby again!

Mummy's sick

Yep, I'm not feeling too well today. Basically caught a cough and cold bug and so have been coughing a lot today with phlegm stuck inside me. It can be very irritating to have this type of cough as sometimes the throat just gets so itchy and irritated you can't stop coughing :( Saw a doctor this evening to get some medicine and MC. Hopefully can recover fast...

Strangely, baby does not seem to move as much these 2 days when I'm not feeling well. I wonder why...baby are you not feeling well too? Hopefully not. Hope that baby is well protected by the amniotic fluid....

Anyway, can only hope for speedy recovery....

Names Names!

Have started looking at names for our son and indeed it will take us a while to finally decide on something. Just felt like putting down some considerations here to ponder over it... After looking through the first round, here are some names that Dear and I could kind of agree on:

• Adriel Tan
  
• Issac Tan
  
• Kendrick Tan
  
• Matthieu Tan
  

If we shortlist some more, might add on to the list....
