By right, second pregnancy could have less excitement, since I have gone through the process once. However, that's not the case. Partly, it is because of my son's involvement throughout this pregnancy. His companion has added some spices on this journey. Also, the doctor is giving us surprise.
From the beginning of the pregnancy, my son acts like a big boy and is proud to announce that he grows up already and going to become a koko. He will do things like a big boy because he is going to be a koko. For example, he can drink from cup or has bigger appetite and taking more rice. Later, he also show that he cares about the baby. For example, he will talk to baby at night or whenever he remember about it. He will ask me or directly to the baby what is she/he doing?
Now, towards the end of the pregnancy, he is even sweeter. I bought some clothes for baby and told him that I am going to show it to waipo when we were at home. But I forgot to bring them when we were on the way to waipo's house. He suggested we turned back to take it! Then later, when we went home, he asked me if I remembered to take the clothes. Imagine, after one whole night playing at waipo's house, he can still remember those clothes!
My mom washed the baby clothes and ready for me to sort out and bring back. Aden saw me sorting out and then putting them back into the bag, he quickly offered to help me despite of he is a abit clumsy and mess up the nicely folded baby clothes. He also insisted to help the dad to carry the big bag of clothes from the car into the house.
I am so blessed.
As the surprise from the doctor, during week 23 scan, he told us that our baby is a boy. It took me a day to get over it as I am hoping to have a girl. I know it is not what I can choose but there is this hope.
During Week 29 scan, doctor scanned and told us that it looks like a girl that I am having! I do not put too much hope in it though and I told Aden that our baby could be a girl. But, we shall wait till baby is born to know the gender. Aden is like a real big boy! When my mil asked him about the gender of the baby. He answered her that we need to wait till the baby is born to know is didi or meimei. Can you imagine the little boy who is only 2yo+ telling this? Hehe..
At Week 31, I asked the doctor to check on the gender again. He told me 90% is a girl! We once again call our baby meimei. The thought of not having any girlie clothes/items at home urge me to go for shopping! I hope this is not just a dream.
The doctor also put a remark on the report book saying: Normal fetal growth rate. This is also make me feel relief. As I monitor the growth, I noticed that the estimated weight is always less than Aden's. I am worried that the baby is small as I know that baby's size could be less than the estimated weight. Well, I am not hoping that my baby is big size, but at least around Aden's weight when he is born.
I am glad that my bb is doing well.
8 more weeks to go!
To meimei,
Papa, mummy and koko are waiting for you! Koko has even tested out the musical toys and they are still functioning well. Don't worry, you got new one too! =)
