I'm not sure if it's about being with a government hospital that made testing for gestational diabetes compulsory, or really cause Speckie is larger than normal at the 21 week scan anyhow, I was scheduled for one before week 28 and I didn't like the idea of going for the test at all. Here we are again getting prodded and having my nerves...
It could be all the fashionista mommy blogs I have been reading that I long decided ahead of time which baby carrier I want. The plan had always been the Tula, until I got introduced to the world of woven carriers. Seems there is a difference between a normal tula, half woven and full woven. And, the quest for it is even more...
Stretchmarks are the bane of every mom to be and we all try to avoid and prevent using whatever methods feasible. While my mom's own gynae mused that none of these over the counter solutions are truly effective, it all boils down to one's skin elasticity eventually.

Pots, tea pots, cups, milkshake glasses, serve...

God decided our first born would be a little boy - which trimmed the accessories that I can put on him by half or more....

Week 14 it is then, and we have another 14 before welcoming the last trimester with wide open arms.
