I See Beanie!

A very rush morning... Getting LZ ready for school and getting myself ready. Yes! I went for my gynae appointment! LZ was disappointed that they can't go with us and I promised them the next appointment I will book it on a Saturday so everyone can see Beanie.biggrin

LZdaddy was only away for a week and he said my tummy is bigger! Oh dear! I had the feeling I put on more than a kg and I did! I eat as per normal but I have craving for fizzy drink. Blessed Mum, next time when we have coffee date, please don't let me order anymore of it! smile

First thing my doc commented was that I put on too much for the past few weeks. She was nagging at me.sad She said that since I have morning sickness, I shouldn't be putting so much weight. Then she asked what have I been eating and I told her I eat as per normal and my intake is the same. She said I should stop my intake of fizzy drink and cut down on juices. She rather I drink more milk. She warned me that I am going to put on as much weight as I did for LZ. I put on 26kg and 25kg respectively for L & Z. Gosh!

Beanie @11 weeks
Weeks: 10 weeks & 6 days.
Length: 42.5mm

Then it was time to look at little Beanie! Awww.... I teared when I saw my baby! I commented that how come my baby wasn't moving. The next thing I knew, she/he was 'waving' and 'kicking'! So cute! Like telling me "Mommy! I'm ok! Look!" Hahaha.... LZdaddy and I were like a new parents once again.smile Doc measured her neck length and pointed to us Beanie's nose, mouth, chin, hands and legs. We also heard the heartbeats! My due date has been pushed forward to 2 days earlier, 24th Feb. Hope Beanie will not 'pop' during Chinese New Year. razz Let mommy enjoy CNY goodies first ok?smile

Then when we were seated down again, we asked about the test that we need to do and the risks. This time we won't be doing the triple test but the amio test. Now you know roughly how old I am. That's the reason why doc measured the neck length, showed us the chin and nose. We are still thinking whether to do it. We wouldn't have to decide till I am about 17 weeks.

LZdaddy is so sweet to ask when can he start preparing tonic for me. I think both of us have forgotten about all these things, like when and how.smile Doc teased him "Aiyo! Still need to boil tonic?" Yes. Hubby simply loves it when I am fat fat. Hahaha... For the past 2 pregnancies, he has been the one that boil tonics for me. So sweet hor?smile I am so blessed to marry to him!

As soon as checkup was over, we rushed to pick Z from school. First thing he said when he got into the car "mommy, where is Baby's picture?" He remembered! I told him that I will show him Beanie's pic after checkup. I showed him and pointed to him where's the hands, legs, face etc... He gave me a puzzled look, wondering why Beanie looks like that. Hahaha....

After having lunch, we picked L up from school. She asked the same question!lol Hahaha.... She asked before she even sit in the car! Both of them remembered! I can tell they really look forward to seeing Beanie. biggrin I am sooooo HAPPY! Yes! We have booked the next appointment on Saturday so LZ could come along and see little Beanie in action! biggrin

My gynae banned me from drinking Chinese herbs coz I was on hormone pills. It sure feels excited to see your little one there eh?
I did an Amnio when I was preggie with BB C. Not much pain but I was really nervous.

What a sweet and loving family you have. This is one blessed baby. I'm sure 'she' can feel the excitement and love of everyone.

I remember Kimberly being puzzled too, however hard I tried to get her to see the outline. It's no wonder L and Z is puzzled too. ha ha.

1st time visiting your blog. Congrats on being preggers. I have a soft spot for baby stories. Can tell LZ are really excited abt their new sibling. Must be so precious to see their reactions when they see bb in action during your next ultrasound! Hope your morning sickness is getting better.

Angeline said...

wow! all of these are like fairy tale to me...everything is so happy and sweet...something that I could only dream off...

for both my pregnancy, I was still running around Singapore from bazaars to bazaars, from pushcarts to pushcarts....no rest dear...no rest at all...but no complaints though...'cos my boys came out NOT Premature and came out strong and healthy...

Idy said...

Amnio test... I did that when I was expecting Ilis. The test was all right but it was the waiting for the result that was so nerve wrecking.

Lydia said...

Wow, 42.5mm at 10wks6d? I went back(in time, lol) to check mine, she was 27mm at 9wk5d... your baby is LONG!

I didn't go for any test... not at all for my 3 babies, I was 33, 35 and 38yo when I was preggy! (Oops... no more secret liao :P)

Reason was, we would never ever abort our baby even if there is something wrong with her, so why bother with the test then... we believe that God always give the best to His children, us :)

Remember to get a bite of the BBQ pork slice once they start selling near CNY, don't wait! haha

But you look so good now, unlike me, yet to loose all the weight and I am gaining again. :(

Health Freak Mummy

I hope there will be no pain but I know I will be very nervous.

Jacss
Haha! I also not sure what's the tonic for :) He boils it and I drink it.

Angeline
Kudos to you :) I hope I will not be too stress that my baby pop early :)

Idy
That's why I ma still thinking to do or not. The waiting is horrible :(

Lydia
True :) But if we know earlier, we would be mentally prepared for baby's arrival.

Oh dear! I may have a big baby again! :O
Yes! I better eat all those goodies as soon as they start seling. Hahaha....
