Grown so much!
I went to see Dr Chew again today. On one hand, I was thinking that Joey couldn't have grown much since the last appointment just two weeks ago. Yet, on the other hand, I seemed to have felt the great increase in weight recently, and they are evident from my swollen legs and dingdang hands (if u wonder what's ding dang hands, try looking at doraemon's hands... round round one...) at the end of everyday. So, I was pretty excited to see how well Joey was doing.
To my surprise, when I weighed myself today, I have put on so much weight! I am now 57.7kg (That was about 2 kg increase from 2 weeks ago!). Oh man. The missy joked with me that it's the Chinese New Year season so I am not the only one piling on so much weight. Hee... My mama also told me rather happily that I am now heavier than her. Sigh.
Saw Joey from the scan again. Can't see her face because she's facing downwards and her head is still down at the bottom, which is really a good sign. Dr Chew said her position is really good, and that's exactly what she should be when she is due for delivery. Good Joey was behaving well too, because even though she was actively moving constantly, she was not moving so randomly that Dr Chew cannot measure her head size. It's really important because that will allow the computer to calculate her weight to make sure she's not too small. It turned out that Joey is now 2.2 kg, a vast increase from 2 weeks ago when she was only slightly over 1 kg. So, she still has about 0.8 kg to hit a normal weight for birth.
Dr Chew said that most weight will be gained during these few weeks, and when it reaches the tailend of my pregnancy, it will slow down again. I was still rather worried two weeks ago when Joey weighed only 1 kg, because it felt so impossible that Joey can gain weight so quickly to hit her 3 kg soon. But thank God everything turned out well. Joey's size is the size of a 34-week old foetus, although she's only 33 weeks old. So, thank God she's growing healthily. : )
It was such a great joy to see Joey again. When Dr Chew pressed the scanner on my stomach, Joey moved her head right & left.. hahaha.... Dr Chew said she's trying to see who's disturbing her. Smart baby. : )
Something else to be happy about. Dr Chew said my tummy is very nice & smooth. No lines! No scratch marks so far, so i really pray they will never appear! Hahaha..
