Maternity Photoshoot
Tada.. I am all set and ready now for my glam mama shot.
Taking pose.... The photographer was very friendy and guided me on the various poses to take in order for the picture to turn out better. They even had a trolley of costumes for customers to wear in order to spice up the pictures further. Rather professional....
After a few change of costumes and a few photos taken, its photo selection time. Hmm.. The photos turn out rather well.. I just couldnt mke up my mind. As this is a maternity photoshoot, I decided to be a little more generous to myself. After a little chiding from hubby who is willing to foot the bill.. I decided to take on 2 more 5R photo prints at $35... Well.. I regretted much later... Could have paid for another $30 voucher in exchange for a A4 photoprint and another Langeie product... =( Lesson learnt.....

Third Trimesterd (Week 36)
In case you are wondering, if you are at 14kg, does that mean baby Valene is very big too?? No. Baby Valene is growing at a healthy weight of only 2.5kg. And Yes!! I gained more than 10KG on my own... You must be curious how Valene looks like now... Well.. as she is rather big in size now, her whole body couldnt be captured in the picture. The recent 4D scan done at the gynae's office was rather blur. I was only able to make out 1 of her eye in this case. I am glad to know that Valene has rather big round eyes like her mother.. =)
As the months progresses, Valene's movements could also be felt in stronger intensity too. You will be able to tell her movements either by looking at my stomach or by placing a hand on it. It has the feeling of something poking out of the stomach. Sometimes, I could even feel her bones. However, even up to today, I still couldnt make out which part of her body is poking from my stomach.. I am counting down to the day I meet her in the face.

Week 20 (2nd Trimester)
The bottom view of Valene that confirmed her gender. Two fleshy parts.... (RA21)
Look at her little feet. So tiny and cute.
In the earlier part of this entry, I mentioned that I faced some slight bleeding. Well.. the Sonographer checked my cervix and placenta during the scan. She said that she didnt find any problems that could lead to this. She added that it could be some some slight external spotting. The gynae also highlighted that it is nothin serious. True enough, the spotting stopped in 2 days time. Baby Valene is continuing to grow healthily in me. Cant wait to see her again. Have also signed up for an antenatal class in early Feb and a 3D scan in Jan. You will get to see more of baby Valene in the next few months. =)

Week 17 (2nd Trimester)
I am not exactly full blown in pregnancy yet.. however, the bulge on my little tummy had become rather visible by now. Extremely big and round. I felt like a fat little hippotamus lying on the sofa couch every night after dinner.. Sighz.. Never been so fat in my life before.... Most of my pants and skirts are being dumped into the "non wearables" category by now.. And stubborn little me.. still refused to pay for those expensive maternity wear on the shelves. Instead, I have been squeezing myself into whatever old little clothes that I have before I was pregnant. I even wore my child's size Harry Potter T-shirt to sleep last night. Yes.. There its a funny sight.. but I didn't let my exposed bulging stomach bother me... keke...
Alright.. enough complaining... here's baby's growing progress update.. Baby looks more like a human now.. Can you see its little head and body?? It has a little tummy too.. keke..
Baby is now 8.97cm. Its getting more and more difficult to see baby now. During my last visit, I could still make out baby's "would be" hands and legs and its cute little head and body. But this time... I could only see baby's head and body clearly. Its little hands and legs looks like funny round stuff on the scan machine.. The gyane mentioned that as the baby continues to grow older, it will be harder to see the baby clearly...
At 16 weeks, baby's ears are already fully developed. Kiasu me have been so anxious that I started talking to baby since it was 5 weeks old. Even more so now.. The amazing part was I could feel it moving inside me at times.. =) Perhaps due to its size, Dear is still unable to feel baby moving even when I tried placing his hand on my tummy... That's one benefit which a Daddy can't enjoy. As a mummy, I gets to enjoy the early stages of bonding with baby.. Sometimes, I can even feel baby's thumping heartbeat... keke..
We have a rough conclusion of baby's gender by now... but I shall keep this a secret and will only reveal it here after my detailed scan in Dec. Meanwhile, feel free to leave a comment with your guess and see if you had guessed it correctly.

Second Trimester (13 Weeks)
Baby's scan at week 13. Baby is slowly starting to take the shape of a human now.. Well.. not quite there yet though...
