Letter #24 to Baby Darling

Hello Baby Darling,

Daddy and mummy are so proud of you today again! :)

Today Dr Tan did the scan for you personally. You know Dr Tan is the doctor who assisted us so much. We saw you and saw your flickering heartbeat. Yeah! Dr Tan said you are measuring at 9 weeks 2 days and you are 2.7 cm long. Your EDD now has been pushed backwards to 23 Nov 2014.

Today mummy also took the test for the Oscar Test. Baby Darling, we must pass this test together okay?

After seeing Dr Tan today, we will only get to see him 7 weeks later as in between which is on 14 May, we are going to do a scan for the Oscar Test. Baby Darling, we must pass the scan test together too, okay?

After the visit at KKH, we went to Dr Zou and she recommended us to drink turtle soup. She said there are a lot of collagen and protein. Daddy and mummy actually went to try out the soup. It was mummy's virgin try. Mummy will do and eat anything for you as long as it benefits you. So Baby Darling, you must continue to grow healthily, strongly, normally and safely everyday, okay? We are all anticipating your arrival in November 2014.

Jiayou, baby darling! Daddy and mummy love you so so so much! :)

Week 8

Nauseated, nauseated and nothing to vomit.

Tired, tired and cannot sleep.

Hungry, hungry and no appetite.

Burp, burp and like nobody's business.

Fart, fart and so smelly.

Bloated, bloated and cannot walk.

Breath, breathe and short of breath.

Week 7

I just saw baby darling at KKH O&G. The sound of the heartbeat was so assuring! :) Baby darling, mummy is so so so proud of you! You have grown so much since the last time we saw you. Great! Keep up the good work! You must continue to grow healthily, normally and strongly okay? Mummy loves you so so so much!

Mummy must learn to bear with the cramps as mummy knows it is due to you are growing and mummy's uterus needs to make space for you. 

Baby darling, mummy will cheer on for you and you must cheer on for mummy too okie? :)

Mummy also wants to thank God for this wonderful gift! Thank you, Lord for hearing our prayers and bless us with this wonderful gift! We love you God and pray that You will continue to bless and protect our little miracle that he/she will continue to grow healthily, normally and strongly each day! In your most precious name, we pray! Amen!

Week 6 & 7

I have never been pregnant so there are a lot of things which I do not know what to anticipate. 

I don't really have much pregnancy symptoms except feeling crampy at times, bloated and burping lots after meals.

On 2 April, we saw baby's heartbeat. We were really thrilled! Our next scan will be on 22 April, which is 3 weeks later. I am so so tempted to book a private gynae to do a scan to make sure baby is doing well before my scheduled scan at KKH.

I really pray hard that God will continue to bless and protect our little miracle who is created by Him to grow normally, healthily and strongly each day.

Letter #23 to Baby Darling

My dearest baby darling,

Mummy was so proud of you on 2 April. Your performance on that day was excellent! Daddy and mummy were so thrilled to see your heartbeat on the monitor. Dr Tan said you were 6.6 weeks old and your size was about 7 mm and your expected arrival to this world will be on 21 November 2014. Daddy and mummy are really looking forward to that day. :)

You must continue to cooperate with God and mummy so that you will continue to grow healthily, normally and strongly inside mummy's womb. Our next date will be on 22 April. Remember our date okie, darling? On that day, I believe Dr Tan will be the one doing the scan for mummy. So you must say hi to Dr Tan, daddy and mummy on that day by pounding your heart strong, okie? Daddy and mummy love you so so much! <3 On 22 April, mummy also needs to do a blood test for Oscar test. This test is to check if you are developing normally. So let's embrace the test and pass the test together.

Baby darling, we must also continue to thank God for His graciousness, mercy, helpfulness on us!
