Hey beanie baby...
We had a growth scan scheduled on the 17th of Dec (you were 36 weeks then) and I was super excited to see you after such a long time. I think it has been 4 months since your anomaly scan. I was eagerly hoping that you would move around a lot during the scan and I would get to see what you actually do when I feel stuff moving inside of me. I had even thought that I will eat some ice-cream before I get to the hospital so that you would be on a sugar high :) Unfortunately, neither could I eat the ice-cream nor did I get to see you much.
Long story short, you had already descended down into position and the doc tried to show you to us from different angles. For one thing, your face was not visible anymore - we could only see what was left of your cheeks and chin. But then again, you had probably become very camera shy, because you had covered both your cheeks with your hands. My my, what long fingers you had.
All we could see of you were your hands, thighs and bum - hehe. Meanwhile, the week before on Dec 8th, Sunday - your first cousin - my sister's baby girl was born. We had gone to see her already thrice in the same week. The day she was born, then 2 days later with my cousin's family and then again 3 days later with your paternal grandmother and paternal aunt. She is the cutest baby girl and looks exactly like a Japanese doll :) She has the blackest of eyes I have ever seen in a baby. You are very excited to see her I bet, but you still have time. Don't worry, she'll come to see you when you are born.
You are now 37 weeks old and we just have 3 more weeks to go before we can actually see you. Me and DD are super excited and waiting eagerly to meet you.
Your achievements this month ??
You have been kicking a lot lately and doc has informed us to get to the hospital if you don't kick normally or if you don't kick at the normal times.
You kick the most in the morning when I lie down for a while around 10 am. Then again after my breakfast when I sit down to work around 12 pm. Then after lunch when I get down for a siesta around 3.30 pm and you are the most active around 4 pm just after your DD leaves to work. He misses the most action that you have in the day. Then after that I guess you go into a deep sleep, cause the next I feel you is only at night after dinner time around 11 pm or so.
Also, you have started getting a lot of hiccups lately. Maybe its the way I sit, but I am not so sure because, changing positions doesn't help your condition. I feel it is the hiccups, because I can feel you jumping around inside. I can only but assume since its rather rhythmic.
My BH contractions have started long ago. Sometimes, I think I have labor contractions, but I am not sure about them. So we cannot really say how soon we will be welcoming you into our world, but I just hope its soon :) I cant stand the excitement any longer. But your DD wants you to take your time. He jokes around telling you not to come in 2013 as that would make you an old model by a mere few days. So he tells you to come in 2014. Lets see !!
- Ciao until we see your doc next on 26th.
