39 Weeks!! (and Belly pics from 36th and 38th Week)

Today I am 39 weeks 1 day pregnant...WOW...that means, I have 4 more days until my due date on 9/22.
I honestly cannot believe how time flew by just like that and suddenly I am on a countdown until the big day.
I hope that baby Caleb (yes, we finally got him a name!!) will not show up before my due date because I would like to be on leave until December :)

Last Friday I had my cervix checked- I am still not dilated yet but my cervix is thinning 50%.
Baby's approximate weight is about 7 lbs, more or less.
He moves a lot and especially at night, keeping me awake with his little kicks..ouch..

Anyway, here is my belly pics from last week and from 2 weeks ago.

38th Week- Day 1- Left

From 36th Week:

35 Weeks!

Today marks 35 weeks and 4 days for my growing belly..
Wow.. I cannot believe I only have about 4 more weeks to go..yikes..
I am really hoping I won't go early.. *fingers crossed*

Everything hurts now, especially when I trying to get up after sitting down for a long time..boyyy, I feel like a grandma already.
Baby boy still kicking me a lot and since he doesn't have much space anymore, I can feel my tummy being twisted..yikes.. but I still love it because I know he is okay :)

Here are my belly pictures:

Baby Ma 3D Ultrasound Pic (33Wk3Days)

does he look like me? X)
Yesterday was our rescan ultrasound because we failed the first attempt~ baby was hiding and could not see his face at all. This time, he was still sleeping when the pics were taken but at least he let us see him :)
He did not move much, I only got to see him stretching, yawning and kicking his legs...I wished he would move more so mommy can see it but I guess he was so content inside my belly that he didn't even budge when my belly was poked by the ultrasound technician :)
Love you, baby Ma :)

33 Weeks 1 Day Belly Pictures

So yesterday I noticed that a bit of stretch marks started to crawl on my tummy... *sob*
I was so hoping to dodge this considering I have been sick all the way through now, just to compensate me of being a trooper, y'know?
but nope...here they are...crawling on my skin itsy bitsy...
I bought Palmer's cocoa butter and started to lather it on my skin religiously while chanting a prayer to the skin lord (God) to grant me my wishes...
Some people say, this is genetic, nothing can help..inevitable, bla bla bla bla..but nothing is impossible for God, right? LOL
I guess, we shall see..

Has my belly grown bigger since 31-week pics?

Failed Attempt of 3D Ultrasound

Last Wed, 8/1, we went to 3D Ultrasound place, called Prenatal Peek in hope of having a chance to see our baby for the first time after 3 months of not seeing him. (We did not have any more ultrasounds after 20 weeks :( at our OBGYN).
I was very excited actually (and nervous!) to see him. I wanted to also double confirm that our baby is indeed a boy, haha.
So, we got there at 3 pm, the girl did the ultrasound but told us that baby Ma was hiding..facing his face to my back....She tried juggling my belly, poked it, had me turn to the left and right, and we even walked outside for few minutes and drank cold water, he still would not budge...
He must be so comfortable in my belly..sleeping like a baby for sure..
After spending 45 minutes there with no luck, we finally reschedule to next week, 8/8..
I am so hoping that he will show his face and move around so I can see what he looks like!!
The girl said that Baby Ma has lots of hairs though (saw streaks of hairs from the ultrasound pics) so maybe that's why I am still feeling sick until today?

Anyway, today I had my baby shower in the office with the girls. It was fun and I got bunch of cute clothes, baby gadgets and gift cards. :)

I am 32 weeks though and going on 33 weeks in 2 days....getting closer to the big day.. ay yi yi yi..
I will keep him until 9/22 and not going to let him out before then, hehehe

I forgot to take my belly picture this week so I will do that as soon as I remember (PS: I am getting more forgetful these days...so not fun)

Have a good weekend!! :)

Week 31 Day 4 Belly Pic (from July 26th)

Ta-daaaaaaaaaa...
my belly is getting bigger and heavier...boy oh boy..

but thank goodness, no stretch mark yet...hoping to keep it that way Xp

30 Weeks!! (and Day 2) & Target Registry :)

I cannot believe that it is July already and I am 30 weeks pregnant.
That really means I need to start get my act together and really prepare for the arrival of our superboy..
His kicks are getting stronger everyday (yay!) and he loves to kick me at night when I am on my bed getting ready to sleep..
Another milestone of last week was... *Drum roll* we finally did our baby registry!! Horray!!
My sis in law was gracious enough to go register with us because I had no clue what stuffs I need for the baby and when you are at the store looking at hundreds of choices of baby stuffs, it gets very overwhelming!
I hope I have everything I need in my registry...
Anyway, here is our Baby Ma Registry at Target

Here is my 30 weeks 2 days Belly Picture...

 My next doctor's appointment is this Friday and I get to hear his heart beat..yay..

Ohh and I schedule my 3D ultrasound on August 1st...I really cannot wait for that because I have not seen him for a while now since my last ultrasound at the OBGYN (they don't do ultrasounds after 20 weeks..BOO-HOO!)

That's all for now.. I still have nausea (what else is new?)..throw up twice a day (morning and afternoon) but mostly acids..*Gross* and it is getting harder to breathe since I think the baby is pushing against my lung...

We watched birth video in our childbirth class last week and it made me wish I was a guy or a seahorse..

But, with God's grace, I shall conquer my fear and deliver my healthy and handsome superboy..ehehehhee
