I went for my 27^th week check up last Saturday with my usual Doc. Lets start with some stats:

• EDD is 8 April 2010
• 27 weeks to date (3 months to go woot!)
• No information about exact size, though Doc did mention Muffin is like 2 weeks larger than he’s supposed to be *gasp*
• 7 ultrasound scans to date (with 2 printouts + 1 DVD)

The pregnancy has been progressing well since I last had my check up 2 months ago. There was one thing I had to look out for was to be careful of the weight gain as my baby may be too large. Don’t wanna risk having to go for a c-section. I really, really don’t want to! So for this month, I have to watch what I’m eating, and try to stay away from those sweet cravings and anything that has no nutritional value – die lah, go Penang on Jan 16th eat what then?

Then to add on to my kesian-ness, my only pair pre-pregnancy jeans which I could still hold up unbuttoned but with a belly band was like sooper dooper tight around my hips. Sigh … hips still widening meh? So no choice lah have to wear stretchable and maternity pants.

Muffin has been very active, creating a ruckus in my belly. He likes to kick when I push my stomach against the table (during meals or at the computer), and he’s been moving a lot every day. Everyday I look forward to the moments when he moves around and sometimes when he jerks really hard I actually find myself talking to my belly and asking him, what’s up?

As for shopping for Muffin’s stuff, we’re pretty much 90% there! All we’re left with is getting his cot, the mattress and sheets, a bath tub, a pack of newborn disposable diapers for his 1^st couple of days AND a can of milk powder to standby for unforeseen emergencies! Doubt that we’d have to make formula milk for him since I intend to breastfeed 100% but if we had to I think David will kelam kabut on which to buy at the very last minute.

We also got a couple of Christmas presents meant for Muffin, including a pacifying pillow from Grace and a super cool onesie with an Apple logo on it all the way from the US of A from Leona. Thanks girlfriends!!

Are we prepared for Muffin? Mentally no … physically yes? We signed up for a pre-natal class to help with the former, so fingers crossed it’ll be a learning experience for the both of us. I’m now looking around for a babysitter in Kota Kemuning. Yes, I think ahead. If anyone knows anybody please help?

P/S: Once we get our maternity photoshoot pics back we’ll post ‘em up AND announce the name that we’ve chosen for our lil boy in that blog post!
