And we're half-way through the pregnancy as the twentieth week approaches.
It has been a fairly smooth journey so far. G's BP is still hovering at a fairly low level(as measured at home). But at least she no longer gets sustained bouts of giddiness.
G is getting a bigger and more noticeable bump. At least now people are giving up their seats to her on the MRT. And if she doesn't get a seat, well, she can always stroke the bump (and shoot murderous looks at whoever refused to give up their seat).
Earlier on, G was worried about the lack of weight gain. Now, as she starts gaining weight steadily, she's all worried about gaining too much weight. J thinks she should not worry too much as there aren't really many times when a woman is allowed to gain weight and be proud of it.
Baby is supposed to be able to hear external noises now. A week ago, only G's voice and heartbeat would have been audible. Maybe it's time to start on the Mozart, eh? Or perhaps, it would be better to give Baby a more varied exposure. Time to dust off all those classics and books and do some reading to Baby. J will make sure Baby gets bilingual exposure right from the start. Hey, it's a competitive world out there.
J & G are looking forward to the next appointment with the doctor. It comes with an ultrasound so J & G can see Baby again. Hopefully, the ultrasound will not ruin the surprise.
