22 May Scan

Mummy has talked about her worries regarding Denson's weigh.. daddy is quietly aware of mummy's concern but hasn't really spoken to her about it.. you see, daddy is busy with work for the last few weeks all thanks to the Great Singapore Sale.. so daddy was also unable to join mummy for dinner..  

daddy will make it a point to leave office around 7pm so that dinner arrangements can be made with mummy.. on top of that, daddy also agree that perhaps the lack of rest last week could have affected denson.. daddy and mummy was looking around for TV and sound systems so that we could make an informed decision during the philips sale!

daddy finally had time to upload the picture, daddy is trying not to be lazy and gathering whatever left over energy from the day's work to better use.. daddy need to sleep more and have good rest too

here goes!

knuckles pic, denson is facing downwards!

Little Denson Update

Last friday, Mummy and Daddy brot Denson for the monthly checkup..

Mummy has been seeing the aunties on the forum saying that their little joys is weighing between 1kg to 1.6kg at week 27 to week 30..

Baby Denson is in week 27 Day 1 as of last friday.. Mummy has already put on 9kg so far.. the past month Mummy has been asking for food b4 she sleep.. mayb tat's y the sudden 2kg plus weigh gain.. sob sob.. but Baby Denson is only weighing 900g...

Mummy is having mixed feeling about Denson's weight.. on a high side, baby Denson's weight is kept under control which Mummy is expecting Denson to put on more weight in the next few mths ahead.. Baby Denson wun be too big or heavy for natural delivery oso... so Mummy felt relieved about it.. On the low side, Mummy felt that Baby Denson is abit underweight compared to little friends on the forum.. Mummy wonder if it is the food that she is eattin that is affecting Baby Denson's growth.. maybe too unhealthy... Mummy has been having instant noodles in e nite when she is hungry.. Mummy has no craving oso.. instant noodles is too unhealthy ler... a few treats on fried food oso.. maybe Mummy has not been resting enough that Baby has got enough time to absorb nutrients from Mummy and grow steadily??

Mummy hope that Denson can continue to keep up the growth...

Anyway Dr Michele oso reassured Mummy that usually Baby will pick up the weight growth from week 28 onwards.. that's y doctors only do weight measurement after the week 28..

Mummy will make a point to eat healthily now n reduce the intake of instant noodles for the little precious Denson's sake...

Mummy loves you, baby..

Denson's 1st Xmas Gift..

Denson got his first Xmas gift 7mths in advance.. haha..

is a pair of lovely socks from Auntie Melissa... so nice..

is for 0-3mths... Mummy will let Denson wear it on his 1st mth celebration..

beanie pillow

Finally Denson’s beanie pillow is done!!

Credit to the following people to the success of Denson’s beanie:

外婆 –外婆 took a big bag of beansprout husks from the market auntie. She took twice bcos the 1st time Mummy didn’t take from her in time and the beansprout husks grow mouldy. Lucky 外婆 didn’t scold Mummy for the delay resulting the fungus and she still willingly ask from the market auntie for another bag.

鹏舅舅 – Mummy wasn’t able to take from 外婆 in the early morning, hence 鹏舅舅 sent it over to Mummy w his bike.. if not for 鹏舅舅, maybe this bag will grow mouldy too.

Mummy – Mummy was the main person to pick the beansprout husks, wash it and kept it nicely.. Mummy oso measure and cut the size of the cloth for the pillow.. too bad Mummy duno how to use the sewing machine, otherwise Mummy will sew for Denson.. Daddy duno how to use sewing machine oso.. haha..

Daddy – Daddy did the most job!! Daddy oso picked the beansprout husks, he sun it n make sure everything was dry n crispy under the hot sun.. Daddy tried learning the sewing machine but not able to master it within a day.. But Daddy sew the last part after Daddy n Mummy put the beansprout husks into the pillowcase. See Daddy at work..

Daddy patiently hand-sew Denson's beanie.. 公公 n Daddy disallowed Mummy to use needle n thread.. haiz.. so pantang..

婆婆 –婆婆 got help in the picking too. Though her eyes weren’t as good as before bcos of her new specs, but she did offer to help too.

公公 –公公 got help a little in the picking but the main credit is he brot Mummy’s cut cloth to his tailor friend to sew.. so the beanie pillow is actually professionally made..

Jason大伯 – Erm.. Jason大伯 oso helped alittle in the picking..

杨小叔 - 杨小叔 was very enthu initially in the picking.. after he tried the picking for 10mins, he surrendered.. thanks 杨小叔 anyway..

Daddy

Don't know if its daddy that's becoming paranoid.. after logging into msn today in office after rushing some artwork.. daddy didn't see mummy online.. daddy became abit worried about mummy and sent her an sms.. when mummy didn't reply.. daddy got more worried.. and daddy called mummy but mummy didn't pick up.. daddy tried to recall if mummy mentioned about any meeting, shift of store or training that will leave mummy without handphone.. haha

then daddy also thought that mummy could have left her handphone at home, so daddy called mummy's office direct line.. no answer.. then daddy even went to the extend of emailing mummy to ask "everything ok?"

when mummy finally replied the sms at 11.14am "i'm in trainin.. Y leh.." daddy was so relieved.. that was followed by mummy accidentally calling daddy on the phone and dad could hear mummy speaking about her work through the phone..

when mummy finally called back again some seconds later.. daddy told her that daddy was worried cause daddy haven't heard from her since the morning..

maybe daddy was just missing mummy

so funny

 

Love,

Daddy Den

Updates on Mummy and Baby...

since last friday, Baby has been very very active.. moving n moving...

as mummy typing, baby Denson is moving ard again..

mummy was tinkin usually preggies get leg cramps very often, but how come mummy dont seem to get that.. n true enuff.. only bad things come true fast...

On sat wee hours, mummy got leg cramps consecutively in both her calf..

this morning, mummy was screaming for daddy's help again.. her left calf...

As baby gets bigger, the cramps will b more frequent.. actually mummy has been sitting crossed legs during office time otherwise at home oso... shld b avoiding that cos it prevents blood flow and that causes the cramps too..

another way to prevent cramps is to get daddy to massage mummy's calf every nite b4 she sleep.. but daddy is tired every nite...

last nite, mummy literally could feel Baby moving inside whenever she shifts herself in bed.. baby simply tot mummy toss, he got to toss too.. must b so uncomfortable when the weather isnt helping too.. Baby wants cool cool wind..

--------------------------------------

Ytd mummy n daddy met up w Auntie who will b doing confinement for mummy and look after u during the 1st mth... looks pleasant, just tat she speaks more of cantonese, hopefully grandpa can help to understand and translate for us...

she says she cooks more of Cantonese/Hakka food.. daddy so happy when auntie say she knows how to cook hakka food.. he misses them..

if mummy can picks up from auntie during the 1st mth, then Baby n daddy gets to eat Hakka food in future...

For now baby... pls cooperate w mummy n dun play too much.. mummy can feel ur awesome somersaults at work... mummy will b pain pain.. but mummy still loves u...

Into Trimester 3

Ooo... mummy just realised baby is into trimester 3..

Some info about week 27..

Your baby is now 37cm long and weighs around 2lb. As you enter your third (and final!) trimester, your baby will start to receive immunity to infection from the antibodies that cross through the placenta. This immunity will be boosted by breastfeeding and lasts until your baby is a few months old.

Whole afternoon mummy felt baby moving alot.. mummy was trying my luck to see if i can feel a hand or a feet.. stroking abit harded on the tummy and then i felt something shrink back.. i tink that was Denson's little hand..

baby, dun stretch too much in mummy's tummy.. mummy's tummy nt much space left..

23 Apr Shot

And so.. daddy has been lazy to get the 23 Apr scan up.. it's already may and daddy have yet to get the scan up.. here we go

as we can see, baby denson is getting bigger now.. that being said.. it means that the scan image will show less and less of denson as we go along.. with 101 days (or less) to go, its time to be more prepared for denson's arrival.. daddy and mummy is attending Mt Alvernia's antenatal course from 12 june onwards... that means we are also most likely to have denson delivered at Mt Alvernia

Mummy's tummy shot on 3 May (please give your seats on the bus and mrt to pregnant ladies, old people and those it need it more than you)

Mummy has a forum friend whom expected due date supposedly same as Baby Denson on the 20.08.2009, but she updated last week that during her checkup, the system updated via her baby's growth that the expected due date will be 07.08.2009 instead..

wow~ As at to-date, mummy n daddy is expecting Baby Denson's arrival in another 101days.. if there is an update, Baby Denson probably be out in less than 100days...

May Update

This update is specially for those of you with have visit this blog over and again to check for updates, thanks for sharing the excitement and anticipation, as of today, we are some 106days away from denson's arrival..

on the home front, denson has been more than active, especially in the late evenings when mummy is resting on the bed and watching tv

we are still anxiously waiting for our flat to be ready and we can't wait to start a new beginning in punggol..with renovation plans and certain furniture more or less decided.. we can't wait to move and while the financial front could be challenging.. we are more or less prepared for the road ahead.. once the keys belong to us, its a lifetime of debt thanks to HDB, renovation and even furniture.. but we can't hide the excitement of moving into a place we call our own, to share our life with our little miracle..

well.. if all these text is making you bored, do you know that people make use of bean sprout husk to make pillows for babies? BEAN SPROUT HUSK. Yes, you are not reading it wrongly.. so, the effort taken for the husk to travel from the market into the home, through the QC selection, washing and sunning and washing and sunning was quite an experience.. still, it seems like we have gathered enough for only 1 pillow..

if you are still wondering if i'm kidding, i kid you not.. you folks will understand when you are expecting a kid of your own and when the time comes, feel free to ask questions ;)

thanks folks,

daddy den
