Mommy-yeoh

It has been a new journey in my life since the day I found out I was pregnant with Baby. It has been quite a struggle but at the same time, in the same breath, I can say that it has been wonderful pregnancy. Having to wake up every morning, knowing that she is sleeping soundly until I reached the office. She wakes up the moment I finished my breakfast and starts her morning stretches with a little kicking and boxing here and there. She will then take a nap later in the afternoon right up to evening and starts her routine again. She will have another round of nap before she wakes up at 11.00 p.m. That will be the time where she will be most active, having to move from right to left and pushing her way here and there, as if trying to break free from my womb.

How's your baby growing: Your baby is still putting on weight — about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds and is a little less than 19 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the creamy substance that has protected her skin during its submersion in amniotic fluid. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, and they'll stay in her bowels until birth. This blackish mixture, called meconium, will become her first bowel movement.
