You are listening...

Tuesday, 28 September 2010

Dear baby,
Yesterday Mommy downloaded some prenatal lullabies for you from Baby Mozart and Baby Einstein. People say these womb-song lullabies are good for your brain development, linguistic development, and coordination behaviours. Since now you can start listening Mommy also starts to play these lullabies for you. This is one of the lullabies that Mommy loves to hear ^,^


Yesterday was also special for you, baby. Daddy also tries to start talking to you. Since you still did not understand the meaning now, Mommy will write it here, this was the first advice (and will be a continuous one) from Daddy to you; 'Be a good and responsible boy, be a smart genius boy who can make your Daddy and Mommy proud of, be an understanding child to your parents, and don't be naughty.'

Next week Mommy and you will travel to Indonesia for 10 days. Please be healthy during the trip, baby. God bless you, as always!

Love u,
Mom

4th Ultrasound - 16 Weeks

Friday, 24 September 2010

Dear my baby,
Mommy and Daddy saw you again!! This ultrasound was meaningful since we got to know your gender finally :D Mommy booked appointment to see the doctor at 4.30pm on Friday since Saturday was not available. Mommy came late because of traffic jam, Daddy was already waiting for Mommy in the clinic since Daddy went straight from office. The traffic at that time was very packed, Mommy finally got off from the bus and planned to take a cab for faster route. Unfortunately, after 10 minutes running around, Mommy didn't get any available cab, at the end Mommy had to take minibus again. Mommy reached the clinic 25 minutes late and the queue inside was very long. Finally after 1.5 hours of waiting, Mommy and Daddy were called to go in to see you around 6.20pm. Mommy's tiredness was suddenly gone after seeing you! ^,^

Mommy was so happy that you're doing great. You're now 16 weeks and 2 days, which is around 4 months old. You're now 9.7cm long from head to bottom (not including your legs). Your length is almost doubled since last month, baby. Your head is 3.5cm in diameter, which is very normal according to your age. Mommy heard your healthy heartbeat too, it was 164 bpm. Your doctor showed your face from the side, Mommy and Daddy saw your long nose figure, you're gonna be a gorgeous baby!

These are your pictures when you're 16 weeks. Your spine is healthy. Mommy saw you yawning for few seconds then you were sucking your thumb. You didn't move a lot unlike the previous month, perhaps you were sleeping.


The most interesting part was when checking your gender. Before the doctor said something, Mommy and Daddy already spotted it and it was correct! Yes, you are a baby boy! The doctor said you are 70% a boy and we would re-check again next month for more confirmation. Mommy already got the feeling that you're a baby boy since the beginning.
1. Accidentally Mommy always called you 'good boy' every time you're doing good.
2. The shape of Mommy's tummy which is only round in the center tells that you're a boy.
3. Mommy had bad headaches on the first 3 months which means that Mommy's carrying a baby boy.
4. Mommy used to like baby girl but after carrying you Mommy likes to see baby boy more than baby girl. Mommy even asked your auntie in Indonesia to frequently send the photos and videos of her baby boy to Mommy.
5. Mommy once prayed that you would be a boy.
Only one thing that does not match; Mommy likes to dress up and make up more than usual! Usually Mommy was always lazy to go on diet but it's very weird that now Mommy desperately wants to maintain a good body shape and have a pretty pregnancy after carrying you. Your grandma also said that Mommy looked prettier and fresher which usually means it's a baby girl. Usually 'pretty mommy' symptom is equal to baby girl while 'ugly mommy' symptom is equal to baby boy. Mommy is sure that you will be a handsome gorgeous boy who likes to maintain your body shape, err.. exactly like your Daddy ;P

Mommy feels the best right now, Mommy's baby bump started to show, nausea and headache are gone. Mommy's only problems now are just shortness of breath and fainting. Even when Mommy has difficulty in breathing and fainting, please be healthy ya.. Mommy always tries to get as much oxygen as possible for you to breathe. Please continue be healthy, be strong, be tough, and be a good boy, baby.

Love u,
Mom
