Laundry Day (34 weeks)

Just gave the doctor another visit,
My blood pressure is normal 120/80, my weight gained about 7,5 kgs since April,
USG showed that Tre's head is already positioned below my waist,
he weighs about 2,5 kgs (hiks...I guess my baby is quite big),
and if everything goes on as scheduled I will give birth as scheduled.
I will visit the doctor again at week 36.

Yesterday we took the chance to check on the hospitals that we were given to choose.
One is Husada Utama and the other one is Ramsay Health Care (previously known as HCOS).
I personally would prefer HCOS, but considering the price and the convenience,
Husada Utama is still a better choice....
So, we're still undecided.

Another thing that we did yesterday was shopping for some baby stuffs.
Luckily we already have the baby playpen, stroller (thx to cik de) and some 2nd hand clothes for newborn from my sister in law and cik de, so we saved quite a sum of money.
We shopped for the necessary stuffs first and will buy the rest of the needs later on after the baby is born, as our financial priority is still for the hospital fee :p

Today I washed all the clothes (the new ones and the 2nd hand ones), pack them and will bring everything down to Sidoarjo (my mom's house). 2 weeks before giving birth I will stay over at my mom's house as we didn't want to take the risk to travel across Porong in emergency cases. And I will also stay there until the baby is 1 month old and strong enough for me to handle him by myself.

I really do hope that everything will go on smoothly,
coz the more I read about pregnancy stuff, the more I get noervous about the whole thing :p
Wish me luck friends!

On holiday (28 weeks)

Today is the first day of the school term holiday + the lebaran holiday....

I now have time to open blogs and update mine :)

This is a snapshot of myself about 2 weeks ago,

it was taken by the request of auntie Gie who asked about my tummy size.

At this point, I have already gained about 5 kgs since April,

and the baby itself is about 1,2 kgs.

The baby is now definitely a BOY, as we can already see his penis very clearly.

He's now very active inside, moves a lot (especially when I am hungry :p) and sometimes gives a very good kick at unexpected moments, especially when I sleep facing the right side!

He's predicted to arrive in this world at around 6 - 1o Dec 2008.

I'm pretty excited and anxious about the whole thing.

I guess we still stick to the name that we have planned for him,

and we are calling him "Tre" when we are communicating with him.

We were thinking about taking the 4D USG but we found out that it was very wxpensive indeed, so we decided not to go with it and satisfied enough with the 2D USG.

Next month, we will start shopping some essential baby stuff and daddy is pretty excited to get some of the things that he already saw at the baby needs store.

Anyways, congrats to auntie Yun for giving birth to healthy baby KIM :) I hope we will meet soon.

It's Been A While (21 week)

I've been busy making papers for work since the school holiday's finally over.
3 weeks ago we went for our monthly check up at Husada Utama,
the baby was estimated 18 - 20 cm long ( we forgot to ask about the weight ),
and it was predicted to be a boy.
I gained 1,5 kg since April so this is quite an improvement :)
Got some food cravings, like noodle and steak, also very fond of food with clear soup like: suki, udon, sayur bayam, dll.
No more morning sickness and complaints.
Since a few days ago, I can already feel the baby movements in my belly.
At first I thought it was just some gas in my tummy,
but the movings became frequent and when I took sometime to really feel it,
yep the baby is moving.
It makes me a little nervous I guess, coz now I can really feel and proove that there's a life inside of me!!
Anyways, daddy is pretty excited about the whole thing,
and as we were informed that the baby may be a boy,
daddy was thinking of another name (still has something to do with his fav.)
Trafford Bagaskara Winata
What do you think?

Down with Flu

I'm sorry baby,
I cannot take care of myself better....
Last Saturday I did some spring cleaning in school as we're going to have a long holiday soon,
I guess I was too tired and exposed to much dust.
And the result was I was down with a bad cold,
body temperature raised to 37 celcius and unable to sleep at all.
I hope I can get better soon....

Another visit to the doctor

Right on our birthdays (19th and 20th),
we went to visit our chosen obgyn (at last we decided to choose him) dr. Santoso Kusumowidagdo, to do our monthly check up.
Still have to do the USG to check on the embryo and the 5 cm lump I have in my womb.
What we got was really amazing,
the lump's size was decreasing into about 3 cm in 2 weeks time,
and when it came the time to see our precious miracle,
we saw him/her moved/jumped TWICE!! as if he/she was really excited to be seen by mommy and daddy.
The feeling at that time was so undescribable.....
I hope next month when we do the check up again,
the lump will be decreasing or be gone at all.

Headache

Got attacked by a lot of headaches lately :(
Sometimes it's so painful that I couldn't do anything except resting on the bed.

A lot of thinking been going on lately,
have to decide the obgyn that will help and guide us throughout the pregnancy,
choose the hospital that we want to use for birthing....
*sigh*
but still when I wake up in the morning and feel well,
I really am thankful to God for what I've been through,
I really hope that everything goes on just fine,
'coz we are really waiting for the moment to come.

Heartbeat

I can already see the baby's heartbeat,
it's very small and vague but beating good!
Doc said that it's perfect and healthy...
Thank God!
