This morning we went to our second doctor visit and did another ultrasound scan. It's at 26.3mm, just over an inch long now! Its heart is also beating very fast and we can even see it doing sit-ups, moving its limbs and head. We know it's gonna be very healthy and strong since it's working on that abs already. It's really amazing!!!
We've started to record Kathy's weight and waist but not much changes as yet. Guess she won't have significant weight gain until she's in her 16-20 weeks. However, moderate weight gain might come from her increased appetite. The doc said don't eat too much, just focus on eating high quality food and more small meals a day.
Kathy's mood swings are getting in control this week. She should try to cut herself some more slack =)
BabyCenter suggests Kathy to start a daily ritual to connect with the baby:
"Set aside two 5-10 mins a day to think about their baby. Just after waking up and before going to sleep works well for many expectant moms. During these times, sit quietly and gently rest your hands on your belly. Focus on your breathing and then start thinking about your baby (your hopes and dreams, your intentions as a parent, etc.). It's a great way to initiate the bonding process and to help you plan for the kind of parent you want to be."
OK, let's do that together from today!

a:w says: (3:24:29 PM)
that'll be awesome... dipping himself to the toilet water and up again
notice this was 'edited' by adrian... adrian, you brought up the toilet bit! but seriously, i couldn't stop laughing my head off in the office!! hahahahaha
you guys are way too imaginative....
little curly is not supposed and not able to come out "dipping into the toilet water" when mommy goes wee wee.
and i think that's a bit gross.... mommy won't like it.
wow, LC has the potential to be a real athlete, just keep those muscles pumping and make use of the open space there: laps-running, constant diving, bungy jumping...etc.
