Week 38 - New developments with the little Rooster/Dog
Have you ever experienced changes only AFTER you see the obstetrician? Well, this happened to us the day after seeing our doc. His first question was, “Any changes this week?” I didn’t have anything to report except for a) the food poisoning episode and b) my clumsy tumble on the floor outside USM post office. [...]
Week 37 - Is it time yet???
Over the past few months and weeks, we’ve been hearing announcements of new arrivals and also getting baby photos through email (Don’t they all look cute and sweet?). And tapping into others’ experiences, there’s been one too many stories about the baby arriving 2-3 weeks earlier than the due date.
So…as we ourselves move into [...]
Week 36 - Reality sets!!!

Her central nervous system is still maturing and her lungs are well developed by now. [...]
Week 33 - Doctor and dresses
First of all, my Mum baked a really delicious fruit cake for Dr and we got to take some home too — which we whacked within the first few days. Dr was quite touched by the cake and the little cat we got him from Kuching [go figure..."We got you a kucing from Kuching." Lame, [...]
Week 32 - Catching up with homework
Nothing much to report this week as focused on catching up with emails etc from being away from the office a whole week. We are very excited about seeing the doctor this weekend though since it’s been a whole month since we could know how’s the baby doing via ultrasound etc!
Also, this weekend will be [...]
