Ben always like to mention “daddy, mama, ben ben and mei mei” whenever he saw photos of 4 in a family. So today, we took one our very own 4 in a family photo for him :-)

Baby girl still does not want to come out

Today we supposed to be in the labour room, welcoming baby Anniina but somehow baby decided to come out later. Her head has not gone into the canal yet. Maybe she wants to celebrate birthday together with daddy :-)

Anyway, at anytime she might decided to come out :-)

This photo was taken last week, mama at 39th week pregnancy, still pretty, stomach still not very big :-)

Mummy, Well done!

This is how mummy looks like 25 days after giving birth to little Benjamin. Looks pretty good, right? Later, after some Malay traditional massage, hot stone and body wrap, sure will be better ;-)
A friend said mummy is even prettier now…. daddy thinks it is because of the joy that baby Ben brings :-) Too bad, no one said daddy is more handsome now :-p

Week34

Waiting patiently for doctor for regular checkup. Someone said patient has to be patient :-)
For pregnant mummy, even though you are not sick, you got to be patient too. All hospital also the same, especially good and famous doctors :-p
Ben’s mummy always bring along a book to read, I hope Ben will grow up, having good habit of reading good books.

Pregnancy: Week 38

Posted in Mummy on September 5th, 2007 by daddy – 3 Comments

Congratulations — your pregnancy has reached full-term, which basically falls anywhere between weeks 38 and 42; your due date is simply the midpoint of this time period. Soon, you’ll be able to hold your baby in your arms, look into her eyes, and welcome her into the world. She’s more than six and one-half pounds now, and all her organ systems are in place. She has shed most of her lanugo and greasy vernix coating, both of which she’ll actually ingest, along with some amniotic fluid; her digestive system will turn this strange concoction into a dark, tarry stool called meconium. Her lungs and vocal chords are ready to wail — a sound you’ll hear once she makes her entrance.

*If you are pregnant, do sign up the pregnancy calendar at www.parenting.com or www.babycenter.com. A lot of good information about pregnancy and baby there.

Swimming at Week36

Mummy has been swimming with baby Ben inside since the 2nd trimester (Mother-to-be, please note, it’s better not to swim in your 1st trimester!) Even though doctor has been telling us baby Ben is quite big in size, mummy’s tummy has been “small” compared to other pregnant friends. So mummy could wear the old swimsuit till Week35. This is the new swimsuit for pregnant woman. Daddy will hide it once baby Ben is out ;-) Mummy should wear back the old swimsuit :-p

Mummy said to have less hip bone pain after swimming, there is no pain at all in the water. There are lots of benefits of swimming. Here you are, some info from babycenter.com

The benefits of swimming during pregnancy
Swimming is great exercise because it uses both large muscle groups (arms and legs). Though low-impact, it provides good cardiovascular benefits and allows expectant women to feel weightless despite the extra pounds added by pregnancy. It also poses a very low risk of injury.

Third-trimester tips
The water supports your joints and ligaments as you exercise, preventing injury and also protecting you against overheating. The breast stroke is particularly beneficial in the third trimester, because it lengthens the chest muscles and shortens the back muscles, two areas that typically become misaligned as your body changes during pregnancy

Safety tips
Swimming is one of the safest forms of exercise. If you swam regularly before pregnancy, you should be able to continue without much modification. If you didn’t swim or exercise at all, you should still be able to swim, but check with your doctor or midwife first. You’ll need to start slowly, stretch well during a gradual warm-up and cooldown, and not overexert yourself.

Ben’s 100 kicks

Posted in Mummy on August 20th, 2007 by mummy – 2 Comments

I don’t know whether it was his kick or punch, I got “Tote.. Tote.. Tote..” every second non-stop in the morning while I was in office and I lost count after 90th Tote Tote. You broke your record man! He did it for a few times before once in a while, but the most was 40 times.. Thank God, it was a mild one.. otherwise,, mummy will…

34th Week + 4 days

Posted in Mummy on August 12th, 2007 by mummy – 2 Comments

Today, we met Dr again and Baby Ben is 2.5 kg now, gained half kg in 3 weeks. Dr said baby has good size, but I thought my stomach is too small compared to others. I want you to be chubby like Michelin Baby.

Today, Ben stretched a lot until I got painful. He kicked non-stop in the mornings this weekend, I think he tried to wake me up to go to work. It’s weekend darling Ben, you should let mummy sleep till late late…
