Isaac is definitely growing and i have problems turning from one side to the other when i am trying to sleep at night 'cos his weight just weighs down on me! One flip to the next probably takes at least half a minute, me manouvering all 3.2kg (according to gyne's measurement at the antenatal checkup this morning) of him.
The gyne said that Isaac is measuring very well, but i am to still keep to my proper diet, and not snack on fries and ice-cream too much.... (guess what? i just ate a "jolly lolly" before starting to type this entry! shh...don't tell the doctor!). He also told us that Isaac isn't quite "engaged" yet (his definition of "engagement" means "the baby's head should be at least 60% into the pelvic area), but that Isaac has definitely positioned himself well and in the process of doing so.
After the gyne checkup, we drove to this 2nd hand baby store's showroom, called "BabyTown". It was not a very big store but had loads of 2nd hand stuff...I was quite keen on some of the items like one of the baby bouncing chair, etc, cos they were about half price and I thought they were in pretty good condition, though there were some dust and tiny stains here and there which i thought could be easily removed by giving the fabric a good wash. However, YL kept giving me the "lets not buy them" look, 'cos he felt that he wanted to buy Isaac new ones...!
So we left BabyTown not getting anything, but i would certainly be returning there to purchase their 2nd hand toys when Isaac grows bigger, cos many of them were in really good condition, and pretty cheap!
We went to Mothercare 'cos there's a big sale on now (about 15-20%)....got a few nursing bras, nursing gowns, a brand new bouncing chair and an Advent breast-pump! Felt quite satisfied thereafter... as true blue Singaporeans, nothing beats a good bargain! :)
We were discussing tonight about the impending arrival of Isaac, and wondered how he would look like! 'cos YL and myself are rather different:
- Hair - We've both got lots, but YL's tend to be curly and mine's generally straight!
- Eyes - We've both got two, but YL's tend to be slightly smaller, and mine's pretty big!
- Skin - YL's darker, and I am much fairer!
- Complexion - YL's got dryer complexion, whilst mine is slightly oilier. YL's got an unblemished smooth face, whereas mine have got a few blemishes here and there!
- Body - YL's tall and lean (eats a lot but can't get fat), and I'm just not tall and certainly not lean (ok, i'm actually little on the plump-ish side)!
...two weeks more, and we may just have a much better idea! :)
