The Evolution of my Pregnant Belly #3

Now it is time to look back again how marvelous God made our belly expands again and again. :)
Just like the time when I was carrying Shern and Khye, my belly didn't grow much in the first few months.
It was only when I'm 6th or 7th months pregnant, then people would start giving up their seats for me or take a chair for me to rest on. Haha.

 

 2nd and 3rd month

 

 4th and 5th month

 

 6th and 7th month

 

 8th and 9th month

As of last month's checkup at about 8 months pregnant then, I only gained 6kg, while Little Bun inside me was already 2.5kg according to the scan! 

My body frame remained small and thus it is not easy for me, resulting me with backache and such.

Anyway, I am still glad as I guess it will be easier for me to gain back my pre-pregnancy weight soon I hope!

I'm Gonna Have 3 Little Boys!

Yes, it has been confirmed that Little Bun is gonna be a BOY!

Haha. I've kinda known it all along. Mother instincts, you know.
And it is ironic that my mum has 3 girls, and I'm gonna have 3 boys.

And oh, yes, I just want to make it clear. I totally hate it when strangers/friends 'symphatize' with me and tell me 'never mind, the next one's gonna be a girl'.
Well, I want to declare that I'm happy and hype to be welcoming another boy into our family. 

All I ever wish for is for Little Bun to be healthy and whole!

Shern and Khye has been really amazing and they are so different and special in their own ways.

And having same sex siblings also foster close relationships between the kids. I myself is a testimony of this as I grow up having really close relationship with both my sisters! 

I am now more than halfway into my pregnancy. I'm 21 weeks now and just came back from babymoon in Sydney just a few days ago.
Being in the 2nd trimester is just swell and nice. No more morning sickness and I can eat almost anything I like. And I just felt Little Bun kicked me in my tummy about a week ago, and as before, is the most amazing feeling in the world.

I'd done the Anomaly Test just before my trip to Sydney and I'm glad that the results came out good and well. And we got to see Little Bun in 3D which is way clearer than the normal ultrasounds.

My tummy is getting bigger now and all of a sudden, strangers suddenly notice that I am pregnant, and they give up their seats for me in buses and such. I feel like such a queen.

I had abdominal colic once I reached Penang, thanks to the plane food I suppose. But all is well now. I'd gained about 600g since 2 weeks ago and now my weight is about 51.5kg, which is just a slight increase from my pre-pregnancy weight of 51kg. (thanks to the weight loss during my 1st trimester)

So that should be all for now.
I am getting slacker now that this is pregnancy#3. Only 1 blog post in trimester 1, and this is the 2nd blog post. Haha.

Anyway, now I shall get back to wondering why on earth am I getting pregnant for the 3rd time, and how am I gonna cope with having 3 boisterous boys in the house. Oh, 4 including hubby!

Ciao.

4 + 1

Yes, you all read it right. Baby #3 is currently in my tummy.
And that is also the reason why I'd been so quiet lately in my blog.

We found out end of Nov, right on the dot on the day I missed my monthly menstrual.

28 November 2014 - Pregnant with Baby#3

I was feeling great then, until morning sickness started kicking in 2 weeks later.

And since then, all I wanted to do was to just lie in bed the whole day. Yes, seriously.

I didn't actually vomit every day. But I feel like vomitting e.v.e.r.y d.a.y.

You know the feeling where your tummy churns and you need to take every effort to keep your food in. It was like as if I was experiencing air sickness/motion sickness every day. And this is not a very nice feeling. 

And because of that I couldn't eat. I had no appetite. I basically could only stomach about one meal a day and that was it. And the rest of the day I felt that my tummy couldn't even digest that one meal. 

And so that was how my weight dwindled down from 51.5kg to 48kg. 

But I knew this is normal for me as I faced the same problem of morning sickness and weight loss for both my earlier pregnancies with Shern and Khye. I know once this morning sickness is over, I would then get my energy back and eat will like a cow. :)

And it was the school holidays then when the kids were home 24/7. And I nearly fainted when the govt announced an extra week of holiday entension due to the flood. 

I am so forever thankful to have my parents and Ah-Yee nearby (as long as they have not fly off to some holiday destination!). They helped me looked after the kids when I felt so tired and overwhelmed. 

And my house was in such a mess these days that I gave warning to the hubby not to allow anyone to our house without giving prior warning. lol.

And so today is already Week 12 of my pregnancy, and I am starting to feel a little better.

Little Bun is about the size of a large plum in my tummy and is growing well, with a reassuring strong heartbeat when I heard it 2 days ago.

I also just did my 1st trimester screening and hopefully everything turns out ok. 

And so this is it, me being pregnant with baby#3.

I've always wanted 3 babies and now that the number is real and growing in my tummy, I am beginning to feel a little nervous. 3 kids, gulp, who am I kidding? 

Ok, take a deep breath and exhale........I can do it. 

And so this is what it means by 4 + 1.
Hubby. Me. Shern. Khye + Little Bun.
