nooo..it's not MY AGE..but our little precious.. yesh..he will be in his 30th Week tomolo...(and my colleagues have warned me..."after the 30th week..time passes SUPER DUPER fast woah..and i will start ballooning..and ballooning...ahhhhhhhhhhh"
Week 30: Goodbye monkey baby, hello roly poly!
The light is visible at the end of the tunnel! Your oversized self and amazing growing baby have finally reached the single digits (in terms of weeks till birth)! The fine lanugo hair that has been growing all over their little monkey-like body is going to start falling off this week in preparation for the big day. But don’t be shocked if they’re hairier than you’d anticipated, some babies keep their lanugo until after birth. Still, it’s not any cause to be concerned as it will fall off eventually. No surprises here: your little porker is getting even cuter with increasingly pudgy arms and legs this week thanks to the ever-growing layers of subcutaneous fat.
In terms of numbers, your baby should be weighing in at around 3 pounds 12 ounces (or more!) and be nearly 16 inches long.
And how's mom doing? As for the ongoing joys of being in your third trimester: your not-so-fun symptoms are just intensifying this week, so it might not hurt to slow down a bit and focus on yourself. If you’re feeling extra fatigued, you’ve probably joined the sleeping shouldn’t be this tough when I’m this tired club, especially if you’re experiencing a lot of back pain and general discomfort. If you’ve been pushing the exercise thing, then this is the time perhaps to cut down on the physical activities and focus more on getting proper sleep (if this means buying a pregnancy pillow, then do it!). Oh and all that moodiness? Just go with the flow emotionally. This doesn't mean letting the hormones win and becoming a complete psychotic.
Instead, feel the feelings, but know that the drama you’re feeling is largely a result of increased adrenaline thanks indirectly to hormonal swings—not because things really are that dramatic and merit adult temper tantrums. The clincher symptom for this week: it’s highly likely your libido has gone on sabbatical. This, as far as we’re concerned, is perfectly natural in your condition.

jus back from the gynae's clinic..and we are happy to know that our little precious is doing well and has grown abt 600g to 1.45kg (since we last saw him..i.e 4 weeks ago) !!
wow wow wow!! and his head is facing downwards now...no wonder i've been feeling lotsa his kicks around the 'top of my tummy'..
Dr Adrain was asking how i was feeling.. i replied "NERVOUS"...he then assured that there is nothing to worry/be nervous about delivering the baby..& warned that it only gets more nervous when it comes to taking care of the baby..and oso that the 1st month will be a very tiring month for me...(yesh...reality is slowly settling in....scared scared...)
have oso confirmed that I will be delivering @ TMC (thus the clinic assistant has made the arrangement for me..so need to look out for the hospital letter in the letterbox)...mmm..i guess..for now, its more about eating well..resting well ..& anticipating the next visit..which is in 3 weeks time c",)
and here's our tots of our little precious today :
