Little joe has arrived on 14th December!

YESSSSSSSS! Finally i met my baby.........

After months and months of waiting, the biggest moment has arrived. Right now, i'm in hospital... have started to breastfeed, so which means i've to find time in between the breastfeeding time to nap.. so, shall tell u all more next time^^ Thanks all for the concern about my delivery (even though i'm so far away from u all), i shall update more about my delivery experience as well as upload little joe's pics later on ya~~~

To be continued....

39th weeks and still waiting...

Just came back from checkup. Little joe's weight is now @ 3250 g. Next week will be my 40th week, and by then, i will need to be induced if there's still no sign of him coming out from now till then...

38th weeks and waiting...

I'm past 38 weeks now and my belly is getting BIGGER than ever that sometimes, walking can be quite difficult, especially with the contractions. I can feel the pressure on my pelvis as little joe makes his way down, preparing to 'emerge' to this world soon. Little joe is now weighing @ 3 kg and again, me gained none since last checkup. Doc & nurse are already preparing me on how to look out for signs of labour and when to admit to hospital. I've also packed my hospital bag, ready to 'grab & go' when the time comes. There are only few nights left for me to really have a good sleep, it seemed so precious more than ever. Right now, i'm pretty scared but at the same time, excited to see little joe. The level of anxiety is building up as everyday it's a waiting game now. I must learn to relax ~ 吸氣，呼氣，吸氣，呼氣 ..................

One of the biggest moment in my life is about to happen :)

Exactly 4 months after my wedding

Was browsing April's blog earlier and realized Kayla mei mei is 4 mths old today. Well, that reminded me it has been 4 mths since my wedding day... Yes, Kayla was borned on the day i got married ^^ Time flies! Have been coping with my new life in Taiwan, my marriage and my pregnancy all at the same time... Life is so full of challenges, isn't it? I think i've done pretty good so far - couldn't have done it without hubby's support.

To hubby:

- know u r busy wif business/work (yah, got to earn $$ for little joe's milk powder & diapers), and still got to care for me . Please take care of ur own health too, don't always sleep soooooo late lah!!

To my family:

- know u all miss me (as much as i misses u all), and please don't worry about me cos' i'm doing fine over here!

Well, me just having some fun at BLOGTHINGS...

My checkup at 36th week

Nowadays, my blog is almost all about my pregnancy ... ^^ Yep, just went for checkup again, 2 weeks since the last one. Everything seems fine, just that doc kind of highlighted that little joe's head is a little big. After further scan and analysis, doc corrected his statement to say that little joe's head is not really THAT big, but rather it is very ROUND... Hmmm, i hope he will not have any problem pOPPing out with his super round head. PRAYING HARD! Little joe is nowing weighing 2720g, up from 2208g 2 weeks back, but the thing is, there is no change in my overall weight...What happened? Does it mean 'i' lost weight? Everyone (from my friends to the salesgirl and some stranger we met while shopping) commented my belly looks small, given that i'm at my 9th month. Anyway, as long as little joe is gaining weight and is healthy, that is most important to me.

Oh, and i've been having braxton hicks contraction rather frequently now, and sometimes it can be a little uncomfortable, but i read that this is normal, as the uterus is getting prepared for the actual labour. It makes me worried if i'm going to deliver anytime... Just another couple of weeks to welcome little joe to this world~ can't believe it's happening SOON!

Here's a compilation of ultrasound scan of little joe.

It's just so amazing how a little life is being formed :)

My checkup at 34th week

Time flies...i'm already @ 34th week now. Went for check-up yesterday, and realized that i've gained another 1.6 kg. Altogether, i've gained almost 10 kg already~~~ Little joe is now weighing at 2208g, up from 1757g 3 weeks ago. During the usual ultrasound scan, we happened to see his face for a few seconds. Doc specifically pointed out his eyes, nose and mouth to us... Looking at the monitor, little joe seems to have pretty big eyes and it's as if he's looking at us ^^ Hmmm, what a strange feeling... another 6 more weeks (or maybe lesser) to gooooo!

Losing zzzzzzzzz

Nowadays, it's getting hard to sleep at night... No matter which side i lie on (left or right), little joe will not stop kicking. BUT i've had no choice, since lying on my back is ImPoSsIbLe for me, not to mention lying on my stomach la...that is DEFINITELY a NO NO! So, it usually takes me quite a long while (tossing & turning from left to right & vice versa) before i can really fall asleep... Maybe this is nature's way to prepare all mom-to-be when their baby arrives? Which means no more good nights' sleep ... ><
