Ever since Dayre application existed, I've started recording my daily life revolving around much about my pregnancy. But of course I wouldn't neglect my blog too.
I'm now at Week 32 pregnant with my baby boy.
Decision on his name
We have thought over Gordon, Tim, Thomas.. But hubby and I couldn't fell in love with any of these names. Since we are both not expert in Chinese language, we had my father in law to suggest the Chinese name for my baby. I decided to have the middle name "Ze" 泽 and FIL came out with 2 options for the last name; "Han" 翰 or "Jian" 健. So hubby made decision on Han and he also suggested Han to be used as his call-name thus he needs no English name. And I think this is a brilliant idea! Ze means choices and Han means scholar. So here, our baby boy has a name.. Ze Han. We'll be calling him, baby Han :-)
Well, this is still subject to the compatibility to his birth date and time, which we will consult the feng shui master to confirm after his birth. We started to grow attached to this name and really hope it is compatible!
Braxton Hicks
This is really something new and scary to me. I started feeling cramp around my belly about 1-2 weeks before. It became really intensed and feel like my belly harden like rock. At first it doesn't hurt so I've always thought it's baby stretching. Not until I had a chat with a friend, she's at week 37 and told me she's having Braxton Hicks or BH a lot. Then I started checking out and realize I might be having BH all these 2 weeks! But since all sources say it's normal and just uterus practising contraction I thought just let it be. But there was this 1 night, the cramp became so painful cause it was coupled with baby's vigorous stretching and kicks. I was literally unable to move at all until the whole thing ease off. I counted there were almost 1 cramp every 15 mins that last about 30s. I couldn't bear the pain so the next morning I made an appointment with my gynae, brought forward the check up. He was so surprised to see me and I told him my condition. He said it's common to feel this but need to track the cramp, shouldn't be as frequent as 5 mins apart and last more than a min. We then checked on the ultrasound and to my relieve he said baby's fine and growing well. And found out that his head is already down, no wonder I felt the pain from his kicks up my ribcage. Glad it was all me being over concerned. I was so worried that night before the check up and googled bout premature baby survivor rate. Gosh, the roller coaster of pregnancy is really undeniable the biggest challenge I had so far, in fact it must be so for every mommy.
Maternity Photoshoot
This is something I wanted to do once I know I'm pregnant. The question is when? Everyone told me it's best to have it very last min to record the biggest bump moment. But my bump is relatively big for first timer mom so I've decided not to wait till last min. I did it in week 30. Was very fun and kinda awkward to show off the belly in front of photographer. But results were better than we expected. Here are some of our favourite shots.
Another 6 weeks to full term.. Hang in there my little boy.. I can feel your excitement to come out to the world.. But let's enjoy the last few weeks torturing mommy's ribcage & bladder. At 1 end mommy felt breathless, and the other end love the fact you're doing so well inside me. ❤️
