*Hick*

Baby has been getting hiccups lately.

I can feel my tummy go *hick* *hick* *hick* and it feels as if it's her heartbeat when I placed my hand on my tummy. I asked mom if drinking water will help in curing baby's hiccups. But she absolutely has no idea. She didn't even think that baby will get hiccups while in the tummy. Hmm...

Another thing I realized is that baby starts to respond to touch. When you rub my tummy, she'll respond with a kick or wiggle. So cute!

I can't wait to see her.

Baby @35 Weeks

I went to see the gynae on Monday for my routine check-up. Dr Anna is very pleased with how mommy and baby are doing. She said baby's a good size, heart rate is wonderful and head is still down (baby's head is down since 32nd week).

Mommy will now have to be wary of the signs of labour - contraction, water break, show or bleeding. I have already put up who-to-call list in the office so that my colleagues know what to do and who to call in case of an emergency. Abit kiasu, but better be early than sorry, coz I may pop any time in 3 to 5 weeks' time. =D

Father & Daughter

Early this morning at around 3am, hubby suddenly reached out his hand looking for his little one. I feel him fumbling around and finally settle his hand on my tummy. He has never done something like that before. I think he must have missed his little one very much since I have been staying over at my parents' place for the past few days.

But miraculously as he placed his hand on my tummy, the little one inside me stirred and started to move, wriggle and kick energetically. Is it telepathy between the father and daughter? It is as if she can feel her daddy and thought that daddy is playing with her. She moved around rigorously as if so excited that her daddy wants to play with her at such wee hours in the morning (a rare treat).

Too bad, daddy was so deep asleep that he is totally unaware of the little one's movements. It was only this morning that I realized he didn't even know that he has reached out to feel my tummy. But his one simple action has caused the little one to be widely awake and incredibly active from 3am to 7am. The result: a visibly tired mommy who has to drag her feet to work.

My First Playground

The first place and the only place I play at now is inside my mommy's womb. I love to move, wriggle, punch and kick in there.

For the past 2 days, I have had so much fun playing around inside with Mah Mah and Gong Gong (of coz they are outside). Mah Mah will tickle Mommy's tummy and called out to me. Hearing her voice, I will know it's PLAY TIME!! Yesterday, Gong Gong also joined in our little game. So fun! Wish I can do it more often.

Mommy has been complaining of pain at her pelvic area recently, not sure if it's because I've been playing too hard. But Mommy said she can and will endure the pain and any discomfort so long I arrive healthy, cheerful and lively. Mom's the best!
