9 Weeks 6 days: My love-hate relationship with food

When i get hungry, i get pretty naseous and all kinds of food will seem very turned off. But once i start putting them in my mouth, i can wallop everything down. I wish i'm pickier about food, at this rate, i'll balloon in no time. Already this evening, i couldn't zip up my shorts without the lower tummy bulging out. *shake head*. Daddy ask if its the baby; i told him its water rentention :P (its my excessive eaing these few days la)

By the way, this is a piece of bizarre news i read today:

Woman Gave Birth, Left Baby On Pacific Blue Plane: Reports WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A woman who secretly gave birth on a flight from Samoa to New Zealand may face criminal charges, police said Friday, as they investigated reports she abandoned her baby alive in the plane's bathroom. Police are inquiring into "the alleged ... abandonment of the child by the mother" after the flight landed in New Zealand on Thursday, police communications manager Ana-Mari Gates-Bowey said. "A likelihood of this investigation is a criminal prosecution." Media reports said the mother left the baby in a bathroom waste bin on the Pacific Blue plane carrying 150 passengers; others said she was spotted with bloodied clothes in an immigration line. Police have declined comment on the reports. Gates-Bowey said late Thursday the woman had undergone surgery at Auckland's Middlemore Hospital and was later reunited with her baby. Its gender has not been disclosed. "We are relieved to have been informed that both mother and child are reunited, are well and are now being looked after in hospital," Pacific Blue said in a statement Thursday. The 30-year-old woman, believed to be a Samoan national, got off the aircraft at Auckland International airport early Thursday without flight attendants knowing she had given birth. Immigration officials are investigating what information the woman provided on her visa application and how she boarded the airplane at such an advanced stage of pregnancy, spokesman Rowan Saker said.

DUH!! Like that also can...

9 Weeks 4 Days: Daddy spoke to baby

I asked daddy to start talking to baby as baby's ears start to develop around this age.

Daddy found it so weird to be talking to my tummy and all he can murmur is ""Hi, wo shi ni lao ba" (Hi, I'm your dad)(Hi, wa si ning lao pei)

8 Weeks 4 Days: Rainbow

View from our humble abode. A beautiful full spectrum of rainbow. Too bad, my little Canon Ixus 70 is not a wide lens camera.

7 Weeks 6 Days: 2nd month check up

After not being able to see baby from the last check up (17th February), i was looking forward to this appointment so much that i was practically counting down every day, every minute for the 2 weeks. I wanted to see my little bean so much and make sure that everything is ok. Believe me, when you are counting like this, time passes even slower.

Dr Wong did the 1st scan on the belly and there it is :) But baby was still too small, so Dr suggested that we do a vaginal scan to make sure that we can see the heartbeat. Boy! I was so so so nervous. But thank God, baby's heartbeat is there and we can see the little sac pulsing away. Baby measures 8.8 mm at this point, but Dr says it's only an approximation. I would also think the scan is just an estimate, cos the imaging keeps refreshing and the doctor tries her best to capture the best shot, so there could be a little margin of error there. 8.8 mm is even smaller than my little nail.

Planning next visit in mid-April. What a long wait again ..

7 weeks 2 days: How naive little children can be
