The 16th week of Life!

Hey everyone just about at the begining of 16 weeks .. tomorrow to be exact.. so i thought i would upload a picture.. not much to update on ... typical cramping ..and bad headaches... its from mmy round ligaments stretching which hold my uterus in place so they are stretching when my uterus is stretching coz the baby is growing fast...

baby measurements ( rough estimations according to info) :
the baby measures around 5 inches now which is about 12.5 cm i think ... so getting big!! could be smaller though not sure.. everybaby is different ..

Im hoping to get clearer ultrasound pictures next appointment which is on the 16th of march =D and we will be finding out the sex YAY!

okies here is the belly picture for 16 weeks

Week 15 update!

Hey everyone!

Hope you are dong well =)

Yesterday i began week 15 and not much new has been happening .. i suppose i can do a post before my 16 weeks but i thought i would upload new photos of my stomache!

So the usual is going on .. more abdominal cramps / stretched muscle feeling .. especially when i stand up quickly or turn my upper body too far to one side . Still gagging .. which is annoying .. mostly in the morning when its shower time.. um acid reflux is really bad !! hurts alot and is putting me off food when it comes along . . stillcant eat pizza or pasta =( i wont give up trying though!! haha .. Oh and also something i have noticed with the movement i have been feeling is it happens alot when i have strong emotions .. i think the baby may feel them or something .. thats why they say try not to stress out too much i suppose .. but if im watchin a scary movie i feel it alot! and if im sad or if im very happy! so its interesting =)

So anyways just a quick post ..and no still no work found .. hoping to get something soon! im so bored and want to earn some money!!! So fingers crossed !!
So thats about all thats going on at the moment .. i will post the photos of my belly .. oh and p.s.. sorry if the one showing my belly bare is a little too much just some people are interested! =) talk soon!!

The belly !

OKAY!!!

first belly picture for people who have been wanting to see ... aka ... PHUONGGGYY!!! hahah okies thats about all.. sometime next week ill make a post... buttt .. for a little info i have now realised the weird feelings ive been having are "quickening" also known as fluttering .. n its when the baby hits a spot in your uterus .. so yeah its funny when i feel it =) Mostly at night time!

well Here i am at 14 weeks =)

okies .. FINALLY !!! i got some pictures onto the blog haha .. stupid site would'nt let me. Anyways , this is my pram insert from newborn to 12 months. It is also a carrier .. little rocker ..and car seat! The brand is Maxi Cosi . Good brand =) (oh and the colours are black and silver/grey).. The white insert is a verry soft cuddly fabric/ padding that is more narrow in the head section which helps keep the baby's head supported. . it is also just soft n feels good haha and is extra cusioning for the baby .

Just another view of the Maxi Cosi , the sun shade is made of a thin and breatheable nylon fabric =)

This is the baby bag! =) i thought it was a cool unusual shape and the colour would go nicely with the pram .. It has plenty of room including a protable change mat a bottle holder and other bottle space . . a dummie holder and room for clothing nappies and wipes and all that fun stuff.. and room for your own belongings =D ..its easy to carry and just great! Mum saw a cute doggy toy in a store n bought it to clip onto the bag .. so cute!

Just some jumpsuits .. so cute! My fav is the bonds easy suit which is on the far left (black and white patern) .. So these are the greys :)

And these are the reds =) hehe .. very cute indeedy .. pretty straight forward.

And some greens =) very cute.. love the stars .. although you cant see much here . thestars are like a rustic sort of print .. and look kinda worn off hehe sweet! The next fav item is the overals!!!haha they are adorable for either boy or girl :)



Okies now this probab;y looks weird.. but its a stroller umbrella =) .. so pretty .. tis black and the pattern you see on one pannel is in a dark grey .. matches the pram very well!!

And again ..



This is the baby sling =) its soft fabrics .. and just so awsome!! As you can see there is also a hrness type thing to strap the baby in. This ensures that if incase it tips the baby will be safe and also makes breast feeding easier. =D



The first nappy packet bought!!! the plan is to buy some each week to stock up so there isnt last minute nappy buying!! haha .. There is another brand i want to try out .. so i may alternate .. they all serve the same purpose in te end anyways!


Last but not least , the CoCo Butter =) it has Vitamin E and collagen in it .. some pregnant women swear by it reducing stretchmarks and preventing stretchmarks and keeping skin moist and soft and stop and itching on the belly =) So far it is doing pretty good !


I am strugging with taking photos of the ultrasounds.. but im gonna try tomorrow .. maybe ill make a video tomorrow and show you on the video .. we shall see .. but ill keep tryin different lighting and such (as it is printed on shiny paper that reflects everything!!!! ) .. anyways .. i shall keep you all updated!!!

Oh and also we got a cot yesterday and is being delivered tomorrow =) And my bed is also coming .. So i shall post photos up of the progress and such tomorrow night =)

But for now so long and take care all!!

Miss everyone!

Talk soon!!!

Appointment and Newbies

hey lovely peeps!!

ok today was my detailed ultrasound for diagnosing my risk of the baby having down syndrome .. well good news the NT measurement is good. very good he said! it measures 1.5 mm which is good . the only time doctors get concerned or down syndrome seeems to be present is when the NT measurement ( which is the amount of fluid at the top of the spine / bottom of the skull ) is over 3mm =) so mine is prfect! and my chance of don syndrom combining the blood test results with the ultrasound results is 1:29,800 =O .. so its like very low risk ! YAY!!!


hmm.. so yes thats the good news.. not that there is bad news or anything at the moment .. oh! i got a bed! haha .. a proper bed this time not a shity matress on the floor =) tis nice and comfy and isbeing delivered on thursday =) omg i cant wait haha my back is so sore =( .. and i got lots of photos from the appointment today .. even though they arent too good .. kinda wasnt really an appointment to see the bub was more for the diagnosis of down syndrome .. but i shall try make them as clear as possible. ill also take photos of new stuff i recently have bought for you =)

I'll also list my symtoms if anyone is interested or wants to know if they are going through the same stuff =)

okies so symptoms :

-Fatigue! - so tired even if i dont do anything haha
-Frequent urination... now thats a pain .. wake up about 3 times during the night to go =(
-More headaches...
-Nausea ..gagging alot .. think its from nasal drip ..
-Loss of appetite .. not damatic just sometimes
-Acid reflux .. hmmm not good haha
-Very very thirsty all the time ..drinking about 2 maybe 3 litres of water a day haha!! explains the frequent ttrips to the loo i guess =p
-Some mild cramping (growing pains..yes im getting fatter haha )
-Sore breasts =( so sore. . not fair!!

and thats about it ... and also my emotions are all over the place.. cry at the drop of a hat. get angry at the drop of a hat.. n wheni get angry or worked up over something i heat up really fast like im boilling... kinda scary .. haha .. but yes thats about all for the symptoms .. should stay relatively the same for the next few weeks give or take some =) i shall update if so ..

okies well im trying to get photos up of the ultrasound but not going so well .. they are really unclear .. n they wil be hard to make out . =( but i shall try my best!!

SO so far ill put pictures up of the new stuf i have gotten. Mum recently went to melbourne n got me some cute jumpsuits which were good value =) so love them!!! anyways i shall show you =)

THE ULTRASOUND!!!!

hieveryone!!!! well i had my "12 week" appointment yesterday! yay!!! .. however... not 12 weeks YET ... hah yeserday i was at 11 weeks 4 days .. so 11 weeks 5 days now .. not too far off .. 2 more daysss!!!!! totally awsome! Can't wait =D

Well the gyno that my doctor suggested at the Raffles Hospital is actually really really nice =) .. i saw his picture on the hospital website before i had my appointment and tyson mum and I were like .. oh great he looks creepy! haha . .but totally opposite.. very comfortable with him and hes so nice and does not judge tyson or I which is what i need / want! So anyways .. he descirbed a few things to me about down syndrome tests ect.. even though my risk of having down syndrome is like 1 in a 1000 or 2000 .. sometimes its just good to be on the safe side . . so im hoping everything will be ok!!! FINGERS CROSSED!!!

SO ANYWAYS ! after talking and talking he said it was time for my ultrasound! yay!!! omg i was so excited to get up on that bed and get lubbed up with cold gel stuff hahaha .. sounds kinda suss *lubed* .. but eh! u know what i mean!!! This time i made SURE my bladder was bursting full!!! actually.. too full that i was BUSTING to go to the bathroom the whole time haha .. so then i go up onto the bed for the ultrason and before we knew it .. ahh the baby was up on the screen =D sooo cute.. swishing around and pushing itself off the walls off the uterus and even doing sumersualts !!! so cute ..kinda looked like superman moves haha all that was going through my head was it saying " wee" and it bounced itself from one end to the other. just having a blast inside me !! haha so cute !! .. also my gyno put like a thermal view on the ultrasound so i could see the umbilical chord =) . . twas so cute! ah everything was just so awsome!!!!

so anyways , ill shush now unless after i load the photos i think of something else to say haha .. theres only 3 .. there were a few more but not very clear and sorta just not much haha .. ill try to explain each photo =) enjoy!!!

OH almost forgot !
baby measures: 5.1 cm
my uterus measures: 11.8 cm

=)





Ok this photo is a split screen photo .. its not very easy to see but on the left is the lower limbs .. you can see the legs crossing over hehe cutie . . and on the right hand side is the upper limbs which is the arms and the hands are touching !!







now this photo is to measure the size of the buby!! from head to toe it is measuring 5.1 cm :) so happy!! growing at aperfect rate says the doc =D yay!! The head oson the left hand side of the body and looks like its facing down in my uterus .. its hard to tell .. but once you realise its back is against my uterus ull see where the face and legs are. It is a side profile :)







Now this photo is o the baby's NT .. cant remember what that stands for but its something at the bottm of the skull/ top of the spine and determines down syndrome .. i think it is the ticker the NT the greater risk of down syndrome .. he says the baby's loooks fine its quite thin so not to worry too much! (oh and btw the baby's back is facing us) Oh i almost forgot .. you can see toes if u look to the top left of the picture.. near where you would expect the legs to be theres like little strokes next to each other. they are toes!!! hehe tiny !








okies last but not least!!! My favourite picture of all =) heheh .. this is the profile picture of our buby . . if you ook carefully and hard ahha you can see the face (top left) and the feet ( bottom right ) and the hands are in between.. i think its hands are touching each other =) nawww ... so ys the face you can make out the outline the chin , the mouth , the nose, and the eyes im so in love!! heheh i cantr wait till it grow bigger and we get clearer pictures of the face and hands etc. One day may be lucky to get a 3D/4D ultrasound so it looks real! hehe


okies .. well i hope you all like the new pics .. alot more interesting i think than the first one we got hehe . =) Also he recorded the movement on disk so im hoping that at my next appointment i can get it off him ... but if not then ill ask if he can do another one.. maybe the week we find out the sex =D =D

I shall keep you all updated!!!!

lots of love !!

Frustration!!!
