Not much to report this week... I am busy growing. I only have 6 more weeks to go in this cozy chasm of darkness and fluid!

Mum is trying to eat as much healthy food as possible in these final weeks, but she is suffering from indigestion and reflux so much that it makes it really hard to eat much.

So now, she eats small portions and all day... grazing like a cow.........munch munch munch..

Things are getting tight in here and I can't kick or punch so much anymore, I am rather restricted. So, I just turn around here and there and I can feel Mum rubbing my head, or tickling my toes sometimes!

My Daddy went to Milan and lit 2 candles at the Duomo Cathedral for me. Isn't it a beautiful sight?

My Godsister

I want you all to meet my Godsister - Chloe Jane. She lives in America with my Mum's Best Friend, my Godma Elaine. Isn't she cute in that hat?

Waist/Tummy: 36 1/2"

As for my progress: I have eyelashes now, and my eyes are sensitive to changes in light. I practise moving my eyes about and looking around although it is very dark in here.
I ought to be about 10 inches long. My brain can now control direct rythmic breathing and I control my own body temperature. My skin is smoothing out as more fat is deposited under my skin. All my senses are more pronounced now... light, sound, taste and smell!

28 Weeks 19.09.06

Mum and Dad went to see Professor Raman today and all is well..
Mum's cervix is doing well, and the amniotic fluid in my sac is at a good level..

He did another scan today and look how BIIIIGGGGG my nose looks! This is what Daddy gets for making all those jokes about Malayalee noses!

Take a look at my hands though.. I have lovely long fingers ... maybe i'll be a concert pianist after all the Bach Mum has been piping into my space!

And if you are still not convinced that I am a GIRL... have a good look ( oh my.. how embarrasing! )

27 Weeks 12.09.06

Mum saw Professor Raman again today. Her cervix has responded well to the medication and he is very happy with the results. Looks like I may stand a chance after all!!

I now weigh 1.05kg... I'm getting FAT! My lungs are now capable of breathing air, and my brain wave patterns are developing rapidly, almost similar to what it will be like when I am born.

I would like to introduce my Godparents to you - Godmum Goodie and Godpa Tony. They live in Sydney, Australia, and that's my Big Nanny Grandma sitting with them in the middle. They are the kindest, sweetest people in the world and Grandma's Best Friends.

26 Weeks 05.09.06

These are my latest photos!

25 Weeks 28.08.06

Mum and Dad had a regular check up at the Doctors' this evening, and when they got there, Dr.Prashant gave them a big scare and told Mum that he was worried about her Braxton-Hicks contractions and thought that Mum was going into premature labour. He rushed Mum off to the hospital to get hooked up to a fetal contraction monitor.

Mum almost passed out at the hospital 'cos she was made to lie on her back for so long. I think it cut the blood and oxygen off to my brain too.. just for a little while... so when I don't do too well in school later on... you know why!!

Mum was sent home after the nurse said that there were no contractions, but Mum knew she had felt them all the time that she was there. She couldn't reach her Doctor as his clinic was now closed, so Mum and Dad spent the whole night worrying that they were going to lose me. I felt very sad indeed. I too very much want to meet my darling Mum and Dad. I tried very hard to be a good girl that night, and sleep soundly so I don't disrupt anything....

The next day Mum and Dad went to see the lovely Professor Raman. He did a whole lot of other tests and made Mummy and Daddy feel a whole lot better. Mum has a very fast pulse and heart rate, so the Professor is going to send her to get her heart checked out.

Mum's heart test came back okay. it's just me being in here that makes her heart beat so fast... she must be very excited to meet me!

24 Weeks 22.08.06

This week my skin is changing, I am gaining more weight and my muscles are developing. I look a bit like a jelly fish at the moment though, because my skin is transparent!

23 Weeks 15.08.06

Daddy is sick. He has a 40 degree fever.. Mummy is so worried we get it.. and so we are all sleeping in separate rooms. I miss Daddy!

Mummy measures in at:

Bust: 33 1/2"
Waist/Tummy: 35"
Hips: 38"
Weight: 57kg

I am learning to open and close my hands this week, and grab things. So far, I only have my umbilical cord to play with ... ho hummm... I also practise opening and closing my eyes. I get hiccups too when I've had too much to eat!

22 Weeks 08.08.06

Mum has started to get practice contractions "Braxton-Hicks". They happen about 6 times a day and last about half a minute each time.. It's like getting a hug every time it happens! She also has been playing some music for me to listen to, just in case I am a little bored in here.. I love classical music and sometimes I even start dancing. Mozart is my FAVOURITE!

This is what Mummy's tummy looks like now -

21 Weeks 01.08.06

I have started kicking harder now... just keeping fit and trying to be a little Kickboxer just like my Dad.. he loves feeling my kicks and punches, although he sometimes thinks its' Mummy pulling his leg and moving her tummy herself... So i kick more when he touches me... just so he knows - IT'S ME!!

Mum now measures in at:

Bust: 33"
Waist/Tummy: 33"
Hips:37 1/2"
Weight: 56kg

I love the food Mum eats and I wake up and have a bite about half an hour after she's done... and then I gobble it down and do some exercise after that too. She can feel me very well now, and is always rubbing her tummy just to let me know.

20 Weeks 25.07.06

Today Mum, Dad, Big Nanny and Grandpa John and I went to see the lovely Professor Raman. This is a very exciting day for them. They have never seen a scan like this before. This is my chance to show off to them!

The Doctor has told Mum and Dad today that it is 100% confirmed I am a GIRL!! They are so happy... I know they wanted a girl very badly... I hear Mum say she felt me kick today too! Little does she know... its' because I'm happy too!

19 Weeks 18.07.06

My Mum's belly button is now an 'outie'... I think she's a bit upset... he he he..
My ears are well formed now and i can hear! I am more active now, and coordinated. I am practising gymnastics and even somersaults! I'm not sure if Mum can feel them yet though...
