Again my dear, I’ve caught a cold. People around us have been sick especially in the office and recently it’s been so hot, it’s unbelievable. Mummy’s feet and hands were burning hot for so many nights, Daddy had to wipe me down to bring down my temperature. We are so worried you’re affected. Again I’m on a lemon and honey diet. Mummy is so worried of taking any medication that may affect you. So thankfully Mummy got a day off today to rest. And during today my dear, guess what? You did your alien predator moves. Yup. You jab your elbows out and run it across Mummy’s tummy. I could only hold my breath and be amazed with you. And everytime I try to take a video fo you, you go all quiet. It’s like you know you’re on camera. You’re so shy. And when I put the camera down, you start your movements all over again. Can you believe it?

Sweetie, today Daddy and I went down to the Baby Fair 2013 at Expo to find your cot. You should see your dad! He was endless taking everything from each and every corner saying things like ‘she’ll look good in this’ or ‘she will need this’ or ‘we should get this, it might be useful’… you should have seen him. A once upon a time non-shopper who would get headaches in crowded places, ended up being the faster, most focused, efficient shopper of the day! And it’s just because of you. And Daddy chose so many lovely outfits and the exterior of your cot. You should have seen him. I can’t wait for you to be born and for Daddy to hold you tight. The both of you are the most beautiful people on earth that I adore and love. We will love you to bits my girl.  To bits. And it’s an understatement.

It was the last antenatal class today sweetie, and you should have seen your dad. You would be so proud. He was the only guy who was practicing and remembering how to bathe you, to change you and to hold you. The rest of the fathers were being more supportive rather than involved. But you should have seen your dad. He was coming up with lists of items for your coming. You would be so proud. I was so proud of him sweetie, he really did a marvellous job. Now we shall wait and see what happens when you are around J

Today sweetie is your next scan! Mummy had to go alone because Daddy had a conference training workshop to attend at Novotel Hotel. He had a blast with all the good food dearie. But nevertheless, you were always in his thoughts. Anyway, Mummy had to go through two blood tests today to test for diabetes. And Doctor Ong did a scan. You’re so big now sweetie that Doctor Ong can scan you as a whole. He had to do part by part. But you should have seen how beautiful you are. Big eyes, longest legs, cutest fingers. You were so active and rolling inside. And the safest sweetest heartbeat. You’re truly perfect. How I wish I can have a video of you… but sweetie, every jump you do inside is full of joy. You’re the size of a chinese cabbage now, and weigh approximately 1kg and will be getting heavier each day. I read that you should be growing your eye lashes now and you can see light. You look good and Praise the Lord for that. Love you so much my darling.

Dearest Sweetie,

Today you gave daddy the hardest cutest kick in the mouth! He was talking to you and singing to you (near the belly) and you gave such a sudden hard kick I literally saw you kick Daddy right on target. Daddy and I both burst out laughing. Sweetie my dear, you really crack us up J

Today sweetie, your Dad attended a memorial service at Saint Andrews Cathedral and bump into Carol Akka. And guess what? She bought you 37 outfits from the UK. Apparently, she was there with Uncle Martin and Jeremy to attend Uncle Martin’s mother’s funeral. But by buying all these things for you sweetie, it helped with their grieving. And seriously sweetie, never have I seen a baby with so many clothes. You’re so blessed. You’re so loved. Everyone is just anticipating your arrival J

You know a little something, now sweetheart, you can really move mummy's tummy. Everyday i look forward to your kicks, and not only can i see it happen, it feel so much stronger. Sometimes when you are not kicking enough and mummy starts to worry, i'll drink cold orange juice and lie down. ANd soon, you'll do some kicks and bring mummy comfort that you're all okay. Tummy has grown, which means you've grown tons. Apparently, you would have started putting on fat now and should weight almost 750g. You're the length of a green cucumber too. I love seeing my tummy grow because of you. But mummy has become slightly out of balance because of the weight (I weight an extra 9kg now, which is good) and i was thinking of sharing the beautiful changes mummy's body has been going through.

Firstly, pigmentation. i never knew some places are get darker which is actually normal. My breasts, my armpits are all dark in colour. and the line along the tummy? Sweetie, there's something special about you because there is a cross above the belly button. I feel you're always under God's perfect care and He put His mark on you. :) Besides my weight gain in my bum, thighs and tummy, mummy put on weight on my cheeks! Daddy says i look chipmunkie. I know daddy loves us so dearly. He always say and shows it. He's so loving. we are so lucky to have him darling. And yes dear, mummy runs to the toilet pretty often now. Sometimes i think you are using mummy's bladder as a jumping sponge. I'll rush to the toilet and it'll be only about 3 drops of pee. But whatever it is baby, you do what you need to do to grow happily, healthily, obediently and faithfully. We leave it all to The Lord.

You're 26 weeks old now darling and i'm counting down everyday. I always wonder about you. Grow well my darling. Mummy woke up late today at 8am (normally up by 6am), and took a nap during lunch time (more like a 2.5hr nap actually) and now, i'm feeling sleepy... 8.45pm... hehe. I've read that sleep is good for you, so i'll definitely catch up on it alright?

Ps: Daddy and Mummy have been attending classes to learn about you. And last Friday, learning about labour it really freaked mummy out. But thankfully with many wonderful loving people around who gone through it too, Mummy is determine to try her best to go through labour as natural as it is to have you. We will keep praying and surrender to God. Love you Hon... xxoo

Dear Baby girl,

You have grown so much. I can feel you’re heavier now, especially when mummy sleeps on her side. I can't turn anymore without carrying my tummy over! I can’t wait to see how much you weight and how chubby you are now. I’ve read that you are starting to put on fat now. And your kicks sweetie are stronger each day. It’s so funny because when mummy is tired and sleeping, daddy says he can still see you tummy move very hard! To the point that mummy’s tummy will move by itself because you’re in it! You’re such a sweetheart… an amazing creature. Everyday we count down to seeing you soon. We love you so dearly our little one. God bless you.
