Week 21-24

Yesterday, 23 weeks & a day pregnant when I was finally offered seat on the bus!!

I'm starting to get backache even though I don't do much physical exercise. I think my body's started to change shape as I noticed the usual easy things such us get off the bed or kneeling to get something on the floor became twice harder than before.

My husband & I are planning a week off, we're going to drive up to Sunshine Coast QLD. Thought it'll be nice to spend sometimes together before 'three too crowded' when the baby arrives...

My baby's profile, fingers, feet & toes (USG 26 August)



Breaking News

I had the foetal morphology ultrasound scan on 26 August. I was 19 weeks pregnant. They said everything looks normal, Alhamdulillah*. That's enough for me for now that I know my baby is all right after I got the chicken pox.

We don't want to know the sex until the baby born but the sonographer said she couldn't see it anyway. My baby lied still the whole time, perhaps sleeping. Didn't bother to move at all even though my stomach was being poked & rubbed by the scan reader. I was hoping I'd see my baby yawn or stretch but I think it wasn't my lucky day. We have it taped and that was including the blurred 3D features of the baby. Oh, well...

*Alhamdulillah; Alhamdulillah in Arabic means "Praise to God". In everyday speech it simply means "Thank God!"
