Halfway Through

Today we arrive at pregancy week 20, the halfway milestone of the pregnancy journey. Since the pregnancy sickness has more or less passed, I intend to make up for 'lost time' and enjoy the remaining months before baby arrives.

This is one active baby. At 18-19 weeks, this baby could kick so hard that my whole belly would move. This pregnancy is also harder on my body, perhaps I'm getting older. I often have shortness of breath and feel tired easily. No stamina even when walking the shopping mall. Looks like I need to build up my fitness for delivery :)

At 20 week scan, doctor said the baby's limbs, face, brain, backbone all look good. Down syndrom risk is low. Baby's growth is also right on track, it weighs around 350g now. Thank God. I have also gained a little weight over the last month, total weight gain from pre-pregnancy is about 2kg+.

We also learnt that we are expecting a boy. Now to find a name :)
