Of Baby Fair @ Expo

Visit the Baby Fair at the Singapore Expo this evening after an early dinner at Bedok. 

At the current stage, things does seem to be a little early as we walked and browsed around but didn't buy anything at all.. perhaps its because we are still unsure of cashew's gender which is why we are apprehensive on what to get.. yes, there were things to be bought, but at the same time, somethings seemed a little too early to get while we didn't want to continue buying baby wear that are non-gender-specific colours, like white, green and yellow..

With more people knowing about cashew, the most usual questions that we have this week were whether we know the gender yet.. we have already explained to those that asked and i have spoken about this issue in early postings too.. so that's about that..

a scan is scheduled in the later part of next week, till then people, keep your updated by visiting the blog and feel free to drop your comments on the chatbox..

till then, take care

Mummy got headaches...

Mummy been having headaches for the past few days.. maybe is due to lack of sleep, but mummy no longer feels as tired as the 1st trimester ler..

next thur we are goin to see Cashew again.. Hopefully cashew is gonna tell mummy its gender so that mummy can buy more nice nice clothes for you..

A few more of mummy's friends just got to know about Cashew too.. Saying Hello to Uncle Joke & Auntie Florence..

After Cashew is born, Cashew would be able to attend Uncle Yoke n Auntie Jenn's wedding in Oct.. Wait till Cashew is older, maybe he/she will be daddy n mummy's friends favourites for the little ring boi and little flower gal...

Mummy was tokin to Uncle Jake just now.. he was saying Auntie Joanne oso like to eat spicy food.. but Auntie Joanne doesnt have the breakouts Mummy is having.. Mummy has alot of breakouts for almost a month on her chest area and it seem to worsen now, spreading to her neck.. hoping it doesnt spread to the face, mummy still need to work to buy more clothes n toys for Cashew..

Mummy kips complaining about her ample cushion ard Cashew.. and worried if Cashew has enuff space to grow in her.. haha.. the more mummy eats, the more cushion it grows instead of seeing Cashew grows leh... shall see how much Cashew has grown in Dr Michele's scan next week...

mummy loves cashew~

Of Hi Uncles & Aunties

Daddy refrained from telling everyone at the Modesto's dinner because there didn't seem to be a good opportunity to tell the folks, later on, at the drinks session at Queen's and Mangostees, daddy finally told Uncle Brian, Uncle Yihan, Auntie Chew Yan and later showed Auntie Wenya the scan, where Uncle Chongwei guessed rightly that it's a picture of cashew..haha 

The other uncle and aunties at the drinks session was Gary, JieYing and new Helena ;)

Later on, auntie Joy and Meesh(together with Auntie Sacha and auntie Dana) also knew about cashew via MSN

Guess more people will know in the coming days, haha.. Uncle Tim has already dropped daddy a msn message when daddy wasnt at the computer!

Cashew's gender could be revealed as early as the next scan in March, but sometimes, the wait will be till the 5th month.. it really depends on cashew's position during the scan and if cashew will be too shy to show us

let's see, meanwhile, be patient!

Uncles and Aunties, feel free to drop a message in the chatbox! Cashew will read through them when cashew is old enough, meanwhile Daddy and Mummy will reply on cashew's behalf, haha

Cashew at 13 weeks

Cashew: 

Baby's vocal cords have begun to develop. 

More and more of the organs are functioning every day. The liver has begun to secrete bile and the pancreas to produce insulin. 

All twenty baby teeth are formed and waiting beneath his gums until well after birth. However, every once in a while a baby is born with teeth already showing. 

The baby's bone marrow, liver and spleen have taken over the production of red blood cells. 

Although the baby's intestines were originally formed inside the umbilical cord, they are now moving into the abdomen. 

Fuzzy hair is beginning to form on your little one's head. Regardless of what color that hair will eventually be, it is white (unpigmented) right now.

This morning, daddy also saw a small bump at mummy's tummy and its cashew that's inside, daddy will start talking more to cashew also, and when cashew hearing develops better, daddy will start reading stories to cashew too

meanwhile, hope that cashew will help mummy and don't kick kick or pull mummy, stay healthy alright

12 weeks old and counting

With just 7 days to go to the end of 12th weeks, Comma is now more like a Cashew, so we have decided to drop the name comma and move on to Cashew now.. 

Cashew is officially 5.7cm tall now but cashew is all curled up for the moment. As per the scan done, cashew is also in an upright position, ie cashew's head is at the top of mummy's womb

It has been a quick 12 weeks and 0 days but mummy told daddy that the first trimester is only considering over after the 12 weeks, which means that it'll be at least a week before Daddy let even more people know =)

daddy and mummy has also started looking at baby cots, play pens, infant wear and sorts.. august is still sometime away but its good to be prepared..

Mummy is going to start on multivitamins for herself and cashew too, daddy hope both mummy and cashew will be healthy and happy!

Alright, its time for the picture scan.. its funny how some people can't really make out what they can seeing while others can spot specific points without any as
sistance, at 12 weeks old, Cashew's gender is yet to be confirmed so hold your horses and be patient please.. cashew will reveal it all to us around the 5th month 

Here you go, a picture of the scan we did, the top, unedited, for you to figure it out and the bottom with arrows to point out specific parts of cashew's body
