Just had the 26 weeks check-up two days ago and all has been well so far. In this check-up, I was asked to do the oral glucose tolerance test for gestational diabetes and the hepatitis B test. The glucose test involves drinking a sweetened liquid which contains 50g of glucose and a blood test after an hour later. I initially like the liquid quite well as it actually taste good but after taking the whole 50g of glucose I started to get headache and dizzy for the whole day and ended up with bed rest for the day. I have no idea why it happened to me. The hospital will call me up in two weeks time if there is something wrong with me, otherwise I will get my report a month later.
Next about the baby. Oh... if you havent already know, we are expecting a baby boy! And the father named him Christopher Chee. We havent seen our baby since the last ultrasound at 18 weeks but according to the doctor our boy is growing well and in fact a little bigger than 26 weeks gestation. Baby has been very active especially during the morning when I wake up and night time when we go to bed. He will normally starts by kicking and followed by somersaults which hurt me sometimes. However, I guess he is soothed and comforted by his father's warm hand coz he will stop whenever he feels his father's hand. Otherwise, he has been a good boy.
About me, I have only gained 4kg so far and people around has been saying that my tummy looks SMALL. I myself also feel that it is not big. However, it is not the case with my doctor. She has been asking me to control a little bit as I have gained 1.8kg for the last month. She hopes that I will only gain 1.5kg per month. On symptoms wise, I have not have much symptoms since the 2nd trimester other than occasional dizziness & headache and also pain on the tailbone when I sit down.
On the other news we are planning to move house next week from a studio room to a 3-bedrooms apartment. Moh Herng has been very busy recently as he is just finishing his Latin I & II courses this week and have been told in the last minute to in charge of the church English camp which has been excused initially. This camp started on Wednesday and last for a week till next Tuesday. And it has caused us to rearrange our plan since we initially thought that he will have a few days to slowly pack up our stuffs before moving but now we are really busy with the tight schedule. Furthermore, we will be off to the church retreat next weekend! I hope that we'll have a relaxing time there at the nice and luxurious beach resort but guess it wouldnt be the case anyway since he is in charge of the activities for the two days retreat. Anyway, we will see how things go.
Isaiah40:28-31
The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint of grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles;
They shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
