After a painful wait of four weeks wondering how much bigger Baby Matty has grown... Mummy was anxiously looking forward to seeing Baby Matty again yesterday.
It was such a disappointment when all we got was hear Baby Matty's 141 beats a minute heartbeat through the doopler. There was no ultrasound scan done.
Sigh... looks like we got to wait for the next visit on 15 April. Hopefully we get to bring back some more photos to put into the album then.
And yes... Mummy is still underweight (recorded at 55.9kg) even though she has been eating like a pig lately. Darn, I think I need a reference guide on how to be a bigger pig.

Matty's 1st Beemer
After Daddy's last car servicing, we were given a bunch of vouchers for use to get things from the BMW shop. So, rather than the usual T-shirts & umbrellas, we got this little car for Matthias.
(Took the picture with Daddy's phone so it isn't too clear...)
It looks really cute, and it's the same colour as Daddy's real Beemer. I guess Matty will be a bit too young for the car for now, but hope he has a good time zooming around in that!

Just 95 More Days to Go
Although Mummy has been complaining that I seem to be forever pregnant... the due date doesn't really look that far away with just another 95 more days to go.
We are pretty much done with our shopping... only a few more items to get. I thought it was a good idea to get most of it done while Mummy is still physically up to making shopping trips. Squeezing through the crowd with a big tummy is not an easy task. And yes... we seemed to have bought too many clothing for Baby Matty. Mummy is starting to worry that Baby Matty might not even have the chance of wearing them all before he starts growing out of them... which also means more shopping trips when the time comes.
Mummy's energy level is going down again as we approach the third trimester. I can hardly bend over nowadays and get breathless more easily. To make it worse, Mummy wakes up in the middle of the night a few times just to make trips to the loo... either that or having endless dreams. Boy... its a no wonder that I can't seem to get enough rest. I am so looking forward to my maternity leave.
The experience of being pregnant gets more and more exciting as we advance further... with all the power kicks and punches from Baby Matty. Baby Matty does get more fidgetty nowadays... probably trying to make himself more comfy in there. Nothing too painful as what most people described... just a little ticklish. The joy of the whole experience is undeniable needless to say.
Meanwhile, Mummy is trying hard to put on weight. My last recorded weight was 55.4kg, 3 days ago. So far, Mummy has only put on 3kg from the first gynae visit... underweight for a preggie. Ideally, I need to put on around 10 to 15kg for the whole pregnancy. I have serious doubts that I can get that far... and can only try. I wonder how some people can actually put on 20 to 30kg? Hopefully with the daily intake of chocolate milk (eeewww... I hate milk), it will help Mummy gain some weight other than just providing Baby Matty with the calcium he needs.

Baby Fairs
Looks like Singapore is now awashed in pregnant women & babies & all the retailers are cashing in on it.
Mummy & Daddy did go to the Taka Baby Fair & although it wasn't much cheaper than normal, there were lots of free gifts. We didn't quite spend enough to get the little car, but still got plenty of toys, although it's going to be awhile before Matty can play with some of them. The whole trip was damned stressful, not because of the money spent but everywhere you turned, there was a pregnant woman or a kid running around, so have to be extra careful not to hit anyone!
Right after that, Isetan had their Little Tots Fair as well. More shopping by Granny & Daddy & Mummy also rounded out the rest of the things that we needed. We've managed to get pretty much everything that is needed for now is a couple of bedding sets for the cots (although we managed to get a really cute one at Aussino) & some disposable diapers for Matty.
The one last project we have on the table is the fixing up of the living room and Matty's room. We've pretty much shortlisted it to three designers, based on examples of their work that we have seen, so we'll be getting contacts & sitting down with them soon.
