Pregnancy Annoucement

Today at about 8pm, together with my fiancé, we headed back to my house and broke the news to my family that I'm pregnant!

Decided to only break the news to my family now as I'm into 12 weeks and after confirming that baby is fine from our 2nd check up.

Somehow it was hard on us to break the news as we are already preparing to get married in September 2013, and the baby thing is surely seen as unexpected by my family :P

Only my mum, sister and brother was at home, my dad was at work. After breaking the news, my mum seems so unexpected and not sure how to react. But after some time, she seems to be really happy and excited. She immediately say I shouldn't be drinking anymore cold drinks, blah blah. Haha.

Then, my fiancé left the house to allow me to have private talk with my family. This was when we chatted a lot more.

I told my mum about everything from the start of my pregnancy till date, such as the hospital I go for my check up, the detail of the check up, and a lot more~ Then my mum shared her experience with me and warned me further that I must now eat wisely and told me what to eat and what not to eat.. She also asked if she can spread the news to my relatives, and of course I said yes...

We had so much more to talk about, however, since my fiancé has been waiting for very long, I decided that I should go off and shall continue the talking when I come home again during the weekends. :)

Overall, its such a good feeling that I finally break the news to my family. It's like nothing beats my own family caring for me during my pregnancy. Its nice to have the attention from my own family.

After all, its my first child, my parents are going to be grandpa/grandma for first time, my siblings are going to be uncle/auntie for first time :D

11 weeks: 2nd Prenatal Checkup

Our 2nd checkup was pretty fast.

Doctor Dolly asked me about my nauseous level, blah blah.. And she commented that I gained a lot of weight :/ About 1.5kg. Must be all the junk food I ate..

Anyway, proceed with the scanning. Photo here:

During the scan:

• Baby is currently 11 weeks and 1 day old.
• Baby has grown from 7.7mm to 44.6mm. WOW
• Managed to see baby's hands, legs. So cute. Haha
• Managed to see baby moving. But for awhile only.
• Baby's neck is about 1.5cm which has low risk for down syndrome.

After the scan:

• Doctor Dolly prescribed more vitamins for me. Calcium, Fish Oil, Iron and more Folic Acid

Here is my 11 weeks 1 day baby bump:


My next appointment will be on 21 August 2013, 11 am :)
