My darling bean bean is born on 21 Apr 2009! haha. Will update more about her growing days soon...

10th Visit to Gynae

Bean bean is now 3106g! BIG bean! Mummy is 74.6kg. Fat mum! hahahaaha

Today doctor did a CTG test for me. Basically you just lie there and stone for 30 mins, while the machine measure the baby heartbeat and whether or not you have contractions. I was very very very bored for the 30 mins! Then Bean bean was also bored so she entertained me with her kicks! hahaha

After the boring CTG test, doc scanned bean bean and I saw bean bean open and close her mouth! It so very cutie! I asked doctor to see whether bean bean has hair but she said cannot see very well and laughed.

Bean bean's head is very low down already. Doc says she is engaged and ready to come out anytime! :D Yippie.

The nurses gave me the hospital admission letter today. Have to pay $1200 in deposit upon admission. EXPENSIVE!

Next appointment is 21st Apr 09. Will hubby go with me?

9th Visit to Gynae

Bean bean is 35 weeks and 4 days old! She is weighing 2796g!

Doctor says her head is deep down now. I hope she doesn't move anymore! Just stay down okie? Bean bean. So that Mama can have a natural delivery. Dr Heng is going on leave from 11th Apr to 15th Apr and 23rd Apr to 27th Apr. Bean bean you don't come out during these days ok? Make sure you come out in between or after her leave ok? Mama loves you!

8th Visit to Gynae

Bean bean is now 2377g! Her head is down but still not yet engaged. I have gained only 0.5kg this 4 weeks! Woopi. Total weigh gain is about 12.2kg as off now.

Doctor did a V-swap to test for infection and blood test. Talked to doctor about when will I be giving birth. She advised Daddy Bean not to come down so early as it might be a waste of leave. But i want to have hubby's company too. heee :)

Today Grandma Bean accompanied me to the Doctor. hee Doctor said Grandma Bean is so young! I also wanna be a young grandma next time!

Anyway i was so happy with the little weight gain that I forgot to ask Doctor alot of questions again! As usual, I got a super blurry picture and this time I think Bean bean has a BIG nose! hahahaahah

Looking forward to the next appointment on 3rd Apr 09.

5th Visit to the Gynae & Magic moment

25th Dec - Magic moment when Hubby felt bean bean's kick for the first time! Yippie. I can always remember the happy look on his face when he felt it! He had this blur happy look. So cute!

26th Dec - We went to the gynae again. The visit was super chop chop, the doctor just explained to us what was the report all about. Everything was normal. She also explained that the scan measurements just meant that the baby was big not that the due date would be brought forward. Now i understand.
I asked her about the hardness of the stomach. She said those are contractions! Cannot have more than 5 times per day! I must monitor. hee hee

Next visit will be on 23 Jan, before chinese new year. Donno if hubby is coming. Looking forward!

Detailed Scan

Went for bean bean's detailed scan today at the hospital. Hubby accompanied me. However, they did not allow him to be with me when the doctor was performing the detailed scan. Doctor took many pictures of bean bean, and made many measurements. Bean bean was a wopping 462g! hee hee Bean bean is big!

After the doctor finished taking all the pictures and measurements, she announced that bean bean was normal which was exactly what I wanted to hear!

After which the nurse shown hubby bean bean again on the machine for a short while. Hubby was sulking cuz he couldn't really see bean bean well and clear and it was just for such a short while! heee

After the scan, we went to suntec to buy a dress to wear for Keen Ming's wedding dinner. The first shop we went to was spring maternity, didn't buy anything because everything was not too nice. I was sulking after that.

Hubby says we can go to other shops where they sell alot of dresses. We then went to fashion lab and bought 3 dresses! haha After that I was happy.

In the evening, we met sis for dinner at ichiban boshi! Dinner was yummy! Merry Christmas!
