Wow almost 8 months! Baby Jake is now over 16 inches long and about 3.8 pounds (according to BabyCenter he should just be 3.3lbs, a little over-weight) and is heading into a growth spurt. We can notice Kathy's tummy is growing exponentially and she's starting to feel the weight on her legs (she gained almost 20 lbs already). Baby Jake is constantly turning his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are in big motions too, so Kathy might have trouble sleeping because his kicks and somersaults keep her up. But all this moving is a sign that he's active and healthy :)


The pregnancy diabetes test result came back as normal so we don't have to worry. We know baby Jake is just a fat dude right now. We hope he won't get too big, or else we'll have to decide to bring him out through cesarean section.

We've also attended our first prenatal baby-preparation class on Saturday. We (more so, I) learned a great deal in handling the new born such as carrying him correctly, preparing and cleaning his bottles, and breastfeeding basics (this is for Kathy of course). We feel excited to be parents very soon!!
