14 Feb : Ernest is 8th Month Now

Went to gynae check up yesterday and Ernest is 1.8kg, and the average weight for 8th Month is 2kg. So I have not overfed him :-) And his body average diameter is 84mm, which is soooooo small....

I have gained another 5kg, despite my cough, so that's a total of 11.5kg for the past 8 months. A bit off my target to cap at 12kg..... Well, but must fatten Ernest up a bit first.

Active Baby

This CNY is not fun at all... I have been since before CNY and throughout. So I couldn't run a few places at a go. Lost my voice totally and spent CNY drinking only plain water and light food. NO CHINESE GOODIES!!!!

Today went to KKH 24-hr woman's clinic as I couldn't sleep a wink due to my cough and my abdominal hurts when I cough. Poor JY, couldn't sleep too. As I am in my 3rd trimester, they refer me to the Labour Ward. There, they trace Ernest's heartbeat for 20 mins. Well, for others, it is 20-mins but for me, it is around 40 mins. They put 2 probles and strap it down so that can do the recording. According to the nurse, Ernest is very active, couldn't trace his heartbeat properly for a period of time. So in the end I got to lie down for 20 more mins, with the nurse next to me to 'run' after Ernest to get the heartbeat.

Well, at least Ernest is active and well. Not affected by my persistent cough.
