Week 7 - Surreal Realisation =)

Nothing special this week..except that I'm getting the frontal bulge on my tummy. Not because of the pregnancy, but from the endless eating and snacking in between. >.< *SOB*

Sigh.. and I'm getting Pimples! Really angry, red and big painful ones to boot! Both on my face and shoulders. Double *SoB!*

But on a lighter note, I'll share the highlight of Week 7. This is what ParentingWeekly.com is saying about Jr.

The size of a small bean

Your baby is tiny but growing fast! He or she is the size of a small bean - about half an inch long - this week and has an oversized head in proportion to its body. His or her facial features are still forming, its eyes are just black spots, there are little openings where the nostrils will be, and pits to mark the ears. Protruding buds that will become arms and legs are more noticeable now, and the hands and feet look like tiny paddles. You can't hear it yet, but its little heart is beating about 150 beats per minute (roughly twice the rate of yours.)

Last Monday (4th Aug), I was miserably sick so Jee was worried n sent me to the KPJ (Lch Specialist Ctr@ Stutong) for a checkup. The gynae we used was highly recommended by our beloved family GP (frm Clinic Khaira) - Dr Philip Kho. We was a OK chap, albeit kinda 'kang cheong' in his speech and mannerism hehe.. gave us lots of advice and I walked away with a heaps of reading material,brochures,books and even 2 box of EnfaMama milk formula >.<" But the main souvenier was an Ultrasound of our Little One. I've leave the honour of sharing the 1st picture of our little one to the proud very Dad-to-Be. *^_^*

Its size of a bean..but from where I lay, it looks like a grain of Rice. Heheh..so tiny lor! And yet..the heart is beating..in a fluttering speed! That moment, its so surreal and I even told the Doc that :P

If I'm still in denial at that stage, the sound of the little heart beating fast and strong has affirmed and drove home the reality, "YES! We're gonna b parents!" ^__^
BTW, the scan reviews that the embryo is 6 weeks 5 days old. =)

Now thats simply .... WOW!
