Ah-ha 37 weeks and you are not a small baby

Good news ! You are not a small baby.

Well, the OB has got both MummyLo and DaddyLo worried when he said to me that my tummy is quite petite and he would like to do a routine scan to determine the size and weight of the baby in case it is a bit small. So, on the 5/2/08, MummyLo and DaddyLo went together to the Fetal Welfare lab at Westmead Public Hospital to get a proper measurement. After about 15mins of measuring and re-measuring with ultrasound scan, the results showed that you are a medium size baby, with everything spot on in the mid-range. Excellent ! You are now 2.7kg and your estimated birth weight will be 3.4kg if you reached the 40weeks full term. MummyLo is just ecstatic that I am not over-starving you even though DaddyLo always complain that I don't eat enough to feed you. I wanna be a hot mama you see, and I don't wanna put on excessive weight if I don't need to, as long as you come out happy and healthy, then it's all fine.
MummyLo went to have the OB checkup today and you have changed position, now you are prodominately on the left side and your head is partly engaged too. Hmm.. that may explain why I have been feeling a sharp pelvic pain whenever you move.
Another new bubby is born, QQ and DD, our two cockatiels finally successfully hatched a chick today. DaddyLo told me early in the morning that we are grandparents. I rushed down to spot a cute little gray chick in the nesting box. There are now 4 more eggs remaining, see babyLo, these birds are only going to be weeks older than you.
This week is my last working week in the lab, can't wait to stay home and do something different. It will be Chinese New Year tomorrow, if you don't come by tonight, then you will be born in the Year of the Rat. Alright, be good now !
