Today, I am officially 28 weeks pregnant and going towards my final trimester of the pregnancy.
According to baby center, the average weight gain at this moment is 5kg and for the first time in my life, I am way above average. I have gained a total of 8.5kg! What do I do? How do I control my weight gain for the next three months? I don't know! As far as I know I have done all I can to control the weight gain but it seems such a huge incontrollable monster.
As mommy is gaining weight, so is baby starting to build fat around her body, gearing up to be ready to be born by end of November. She can open her eyes now and follow the light if we shine a torchlight at mommy's stomach. That is according to the baby center website, at least. We have not tried that though.
What we did try was daddy trying to tap mommy's tummy when dear baby was kicking around. To our surprise, she responded to daddy's tap by tapping from the inside of mommy's tummy. And so the tap dance between daddy and baby started, through mommy's tummy. In the middle of the night! Till mommy said enough is enough and mommy needed to sleep.
As we have two boys, we are faced with a new challenge of raising a baby girl. We bought a book specifically to guide us on what a baby girl is like. It is truly that a baby girl is different from a baby boy from the moment she is conceived. Looks like we need to get more books on baby girl to empower us to educate and raise her well.
And mommy needs to learn to be more gentle....
