Pregnancy Journey - Week 23

Have I mentioned before Friday is my favourite day of the week! Because it means the weekends are approaching, and also because every friday means caibaobao is a week older! FriYAYs are so apt!

So here's the bump update. I think I can feel the stomach stretching a little because it's starting to itch around the sides, but it still look small doesn't it? Can't wait for my week 25 doctors appointment so that we can find out if caibaobao is growing healthily! 


This is roughly how caibaobao looks like now and look at the size of his hand. So small and cute! 
Caibaobao's major organs have completed their development and now its just piling on the fats which will make him a chubby and cute baby when he arrives in Dec 2016!!


This week I felt great, and there wasn't much pregnancy symptom that I was feeling. 
However, this week onwards, there had been an outbreak of the zika virus which have caused so much anxiety and frantic in Singaporeans, especially pregnant women! 
I was lucky that I managed to secure a few bottles of mosquito repellent before the entire nation wiped out every single repellent that exist in any pharmacies. 

I've been spraying myself generously with the repellent and hoping that I will not get bitten by any mosquitoes. My colleagues have said that I am a walking-campsite! So far, nobody has given me any weird stares because of the way I smell, but I'm sure they are thinking that I might be overdoing it when they smell my "perfume". But all for caibaobao!

This week also saw me meeting up with my girlie friends from secondary school. 16 years of friendship, oh my! We're getting old! Love this group of friends because they have been so accommodating towards me since they got to know that I was pregnant, always trying to satisfy my cravings and also meeting somewhere near Punggol so that it would easier for me to go back home!

And that's us, celebrating Zhen's 29th at DTF. 

As I'm typing this entry, I'm currently wearing the exact same dress that I wore that day. Woes of being pregnant. You can't find many clothes that you still can fit into!



It's her birthday, but I'm the one receiving presents! Okay, not me exactly, but my son. 
She went to US recently for holiday and she thought of caibaobao and bought so many clothes for him! 

What was more touching was, she was already on her way to meet us when she realized that she had forgotten to bring out the bag of clothes, so she went back to her office to take them again. Awww, my caibaobao is so loved. 

Totally grateful for these little gestures!
