We're back...

Hi Everyone!

Yes, yes, we know.. it's been a long time since we last updated our blog and we apologize for that. Basically, we were just plain lazy & have been chilling out, hence no exciting adventures or stories to share. Major baby shopping & preparation have all been done, so we spend our free time doing nothing at all!

Just some updates...

Two weeks ago on 25th June 2008, we made our way to the Antenatal Diagnostic Centre (ADC) at KK Hospital for Popcorn's 3D scan. This is an optional scan but Popcorn Papa wanted to spend $250 for the experience. We feel that it was worth it as we got to see our little Darling so clearly.

We spent a long time at ADC as Popcorn was sleeping & facing downwards when we went for the scan.. we realise that that's his favourite sleeping position in my womb as he's always like that at every, single scan.

Anyway, I was told to walk around & come back half an hour later... so I went to the toilet & shook my belly & stomped around. That woke him up & he was facing upwards when we went back. But, he was using both hands to cover his face & at one point, even used his feet to hide his face from us, what a naughty boy! I think he was irritated with us for waking him up from his beauty sleep as we saw him crinkle up his forehead at one point, so cute!

Anyway, after much nudging, poking & talking to him, he finally put both hands down & we managed to take a few shots of him.

The sonographer also took some measurements of Popcorn & his estimated weight at 28 weeks is 1.28kg.

Here's a side profile of him.



And, yesterday we went down to KK Hospital for Popcorn Mama's routine 30-week check-up.

As usual, I went for my routine test. This time, sugar was detected in my urine! I was so freaked out that I have got gestational diabetes but thank goodness, after a blood prick test, no glucose was detected. I'll just die without my coke & desserts! Phew...

I also did not gain any weight since my last visit two weeks ago but Popcorn did & he weighs a lovely 1.7kg at 30 weeks.. just two weeks ago, he was 1.28kg, so he has gained 0.42kg within a span of two weeks and I am very pleased.

We visit our doctor at The Private Suite at KK Hospital & it's really relaxing & spa-like. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Hehe, Claire also used her hand to hide her face during the 3D scan.
