Bump Watch : Week 29

This is a bit overdue, considering I'm just about 31 and half weeks along now! But look at the bright side... you will get to see another picture very very soon! 

The first set of pictures are showcasing the henna tattoo I got done by a local woman, Suzie, while we were staying in Batu Ferringhi. I was the first preggo belly for her, which is cool, she hand painted it all in about 20 minutes all the while putting up with lil'man thinking he was in the middle of a soccer game...I'm amazed it turned out so well considering all the moving and kicking he was doing!

The second set of pictures were from our last night in Malaysia where we decided to take full advantage of our surroundings. At sunset we took to our lovely hotel beachfront to capture some silhouettes of my growing bump.

Bump Watch : Week 20

This is a monumental week in the pregnancy that deserves recognition... we have hit the halfway point! Not only are we halfway, but we got to see and hear baby last Monday! Baby has got a healthy heart rate at 141bpm, and everything seems to be developing just the way it's supposed to with no apparent complications.

Baby is approximately 15cm long from head to bottom and about 26cm from head to heel, and for all you visual people out there, that is about the length of a small banana!

Some facts for this point in the pregnancy are that the baby has the ability to swallow and is also producing meconium, that black, sticky by-product of digestion (we can look forward to that first dirty diaper filled with this lovely gooey tar...yum!).
