We just finished a hectic week last week. Went to Sonia&Lincoln's Wedding, Adrian's Birthday, Katie&Matthew's Anniversary, Annie&Anthony's Wedding... Glad that baby Jake was all involved! So how big is he now? He's now more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango <-- fruit again :) He's moving lots now especially with the BabyPlus machine's drumming sounds. He's also picking up other sounds from the outside world as his ears are developing rapidly. Loud noises that become familiar now - such as BonBon barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner - probably won't faze him when he hears them outside the womb.

Kathy's tummy has grew exponentially all of a sudden. The picture on the left was taken at Annie&Anthony's wedding and no it's not photoshop. It's really that big already. Because of that, she's feeling tired these days again. Despite of the walks in the park, she's feeling like the tummy is gonna burst and her back is starting to develop pains. I guess it's really time to do more training on her muscles, so to sustain the growing weight of her belly.

Here're some tips from BabyCenter: lie on your left side or put your feet up when you can, stretch out your legs when you sit, and avoid sitting - or standing - in one place for long periods. Also, try to exercise regularly to increase circulation, and wear support stockings (put them on first thing in the morning) and roomy, comfortable shoes. And drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

X'mas is coming and we're so happy to have baby Jake celebrating with us before he comes out. It's gonna be lots of fun with lots of parties lined up. Yup gonna be an exhausting holiday... again...
