updates at 22 weeks :)

it strikes me as a bit unfair that i was so diligent with my updates for my first pregnancy & not so with my second. feel so guilty. i dont love you any less, my child. in my defence, i'm busy pacifying your brother and preparing him for your arrival. he is super clingy & cranky now. but dont hold it against him. hes just being a little territorial but i'm sure he'll get over it at some point.

i'm not sure if i mentioned this in my last update but we're having a girl :) yippee! i'm gonna have a grand time shopping for clothes.

initially, we were idealistic about not having to spend money for the second one. but after having gone through my box of baby clothes, nope, we're gonna have to get some new stuff for the little girl. firstly, i dont have many newborn sized clothes. secondly, the things i do have are SO VERY MALE. thirdly, i feel a need to buy SOME new things for my daughter so that she knows she's special.

but have you seen how bloody expensive things are out there? geez... i wanted to get at least one gender-appropriate bedding set for her (pink lah tu) but they cost RM400. wth. WTH. madness man. so now, i'm just window-shopping and comparing prices. in fact, i was thinking of buying some material & getting my maid to sew some bedsheets & pillow cases. shouldnt be too much of a problem cos she sewed my tablecloths too.

i went for a check-up recently. everything looks good with baby girl. my doctor even gave me a cd of the 4D scan so i can see her face quite clearly & i can see some movements. so heart warming lah. here's the face of my daughter. i cant tell who she looks like just yet but doctor says that shes got a small mouth --which of course is not inherited from me hehe. i cant wait for the coming check-ups. with ethan, doctor could tell that he had long-ish lashes, high-ish nose & curly hair. how wonderful technology is today.

i am now 53.5kg with only 3.5 months to go. i think i'm gonna be big with this one. i'm certainly eating more than with ethan.

this weekend, i'm gonna work on my list of things to buy :)
