Adri @ 28 weeks! =D

I tried to be really cautious with my diet these few days cos i know i'm going to see Dr Chen today. I cut down on all the sweet stuff and drank more plain water instead of my usual nice, cold sugared drinks. I even planned to take my dinner AFTER my gynae visit, in hope that i would weigh slightly lighter but alas, that didn't quite work. =O

Not only did i shock doc further, i shocked the nurse too! With much disbelief, she politely requested of me to retake my weight. She couldn't believe that i had actually put on 4.7kg since my last visit (4 weeks ago). To my and her disappointment, the scale wasn't faulty. Hmm...i think i broke the record.

Now, how then did doc react this time?

Me: Hi, Dr Chen... *with a terribly guilty tone*
Dr : Hi, how are you?
Me: Good...
Dr : Have you been eating a lot of ice cream?
Me: I knew you are going to ask me that question. Erm....nope. (Honestly, i haven't been BUT i forgot that there were a few weeks where i was literally craving for ice kacang late at night and of course, my sweet hubby satisfied my cravings...=p)
Dr : Mooncakes?
Me: Erm, we only bought our mooncakes yesterday and i only took a tiny piece so the change couldn't have been overnight...
Dr : *laughs* So what caused the weight increase?

And the list of possibilities continued....
That was followed by a scan and phew, i didn't have to take the glucose test cos baby was growing well. I put on, so did baby! =D



Adri is now 28 weeks, 1.1kg! =D She's still facing downwards and according to the doc, that's good. =)

Well, we all know that babies grow very fast and their looks change too, esp to those whom they don't get to meet every day. Nevertheless, Mart and I just couldn't help but wonder who Adrielle looks like, esp after we've seen her last scan.
Check out the above scan pic - A top and not sideview scan pic.

Okie, these are our thoughts:-
Baby Adri probably has:
1) Mart's eyes. Look at the eye sockets....huge and buldging (Reminds me of my Mother-in-law's...)
2) Mart's jaw. Chubby and round! Mine's slightly squarish with a sharp chin and I have rather high cheek bones.
3) My forehead. Her forehead is broad and its shape looks like my father's!

Ok, we know that Baby's still developing and it's prob too early to tell but we just couldn't help it! =p

Another of my main takeaways - Doc's words - "Your tummy is going to get lots bigger within the next 4 weeks so be prepared.."

Oh oh, I'm already starting to feel really clumsy....A much bigger tum? I wonder how I'm going to move around. Slower? Panting while walking and stopping with every few steps? Kicking more dustbins in the office cos i simply can't see my feet anymore?
We'll see.
