How the growth scan went
Hi baby, I hope you're doing well in there. You're getting bigger by the day and I'm amazed everytime I look at my tummy every end of the day. It grows so fast, it reminds me that I'm closer to seeing you. Oh baby, I can't wait! So, on Thursday, we went for a growth scan at NUH. To be honest, the system was abit cocked up as I had to wait TWO hours for the scan! I was more pissed because I was early for the appointment (40mis early) and I still had to wait for 2hours! It was really quite ridiculous! They told me that it was because one of the drs were not around hence they were short handed but seriously, for a private patient, this shouldn't be the case! That was one thing I was really quite unhappy about. Anyway, we had the scan and you were growing well, the only issue is that you are slightly underweight and skinny for a 31 week baby. You are around 1.494kg when they prefer you to be 1.8kg. So, now I have to try harder and ensure you reach 2kg in 3 weeks time, which is my 34th week. So, looks like now I have to eat slightly more? I dunno man... I see myself getting fatter and it's not really a motivating sight. But I guess I have to, to ensure you are growing well. Anyway, with syawal still around, I guess I can count on the weekends to load up the pounds to ensure u get more food. But just hoping it won't affect my weight too much!!! Anyway, it suddenly occurred to me that if I keep worrying about my weight, you might end up worrying about your weight too when you grow up and it's not really healthy! So, I'm trying to be more positive now! As they say, kids learn from their parents from inside the tummy, so I better stop thinking that way! Anyway baby, I think I'm really going to miss feeling u in my tummy when you come out to meet us... But I'm so excited to meet u too! Loving you every minute and praying you are safe! Take card my dear and see u soon!!!! Love you!
