It is officially 39 weeks today! And I don't have any sign yet to labor....Baby Joyce, when are you going to come out and see us? Daddy and Mommy can't wait to see you already! This is kind of the mixture of excitement and anxious...
Jan 17, 2014. Mom's period was late for a week again. This time mom doesn't put a high expectation on it as mom was quite despair on last month when period was reported again. Anyway, mom still use a pregnancy test to test the urine. With a fast pumping heart beat, slowly, mommy saw the second red line appearing in a glance. There are two red lines in the last! Is that mean I'm pregnant?! Mommy cried out! Quickly, Mommy took a photo and send to Daddy. Are we going to be Daddy & Mommy soon?
In the afternoon, Mommy went to visit doctor. Doctor confirmed that Mommy is having you!. Congratulation! You're pregnant! and the baby is one month old now. Mommy was just too excited and thankful. Mommy cried out again! Without any delay, Mommy sent the good news to Daddy. Daddy was working and he was excited too and he wanted to scream out too!
Back to home, Mommy shows the ultrasound photos to grandpa and grandma. They smiled looking at the photos and asking mom to take a full rest. Here we go to start the 40 weeks of maternity life!
In the first trimester, mommy was fine and do not face any morning sickness or nausea. You're so good to Mommy, baby Joyce. Mommy was quite worry and anxious because mommy is afraid to lost you. Mommy visited doctor every two weeks. I just want to see you my dear. On 16 Feb 2014, this is the first time mommy heard your heart beat. Thanks God, you're alive and healthy. Baby, you're so smart!
Mommy have a big appetite suddenly and the weight gained tremendously 3 kg in a month. Doctor gave a warning to control the diet, otherwise you will be a giant bb. Gosh! that's mean it is hard to deliver you naturally is you're too big. Mommy can't forget the first experience having the glucose test. It's yucking and disgusting. I never want to try it again. So, in the second trimester, mommy went to SG to reunion with daddy.
Daddy is a good man an he knows mom's desires and worries. So, he helps to control mommy's diet too. During that time, mommy's weight increased from 49 kg to 61 kg just in 5 months! That's is such a huge number, where 12 kg in 5 months time. That's mean my quota is finished for the whole maternity. Oh no! Therefore, mommy decided to exercise. Every morning, mommy carried you and walking at the garden for half and hour or more. In 3 weeks time, mommy's weight decreased to 3.6 kg to 57.4 kg. When go to check up, doctor was so surprised that how come mommy's weight can decrease so much.
Early morning, one day on the 5th month, mommy felt your first kick! Daddy and Mommy went to check up together and get informed that you're a baby gal! At first, mom was quite down, mommy admit. Anyway, no matter a boy or a gal, as long as you're a healthy baby, that's enough already!
So, we started looking for a name for you. It's a long long journey looking for a name. In the last, we decided Joyce Yong Ke Xuan because we want you be a joyful gal and bringing the happiness to people around too, just like the way you brought the happiness to us too. Joyce, Mommy is so thankful of having you. You're a precious gift from God to Daddy and Mommy. Because of you, we are Daddy and Mommy now.
It is officially 39 weeks today. The 40 weeks maternity period is going to draw a close. Joyce, you're going to say hello to the world. It's counting down the time. Every one is asking, when are you going to deliver? Well, baby Joyce, when are you going to meet the world? haha..... actually mommy was quite anxious now, as the due date is coming close. Anyway, just commit to God, mommy doesn't want to worry too much and just wanna be a happy mom!
Baby Joyce, we love you! =)
