I was full of inspiration and motivation when i created this blog yesterday and wanted to incorporate the scans of the little one since we started 'tracking' his/her development in Week 5. Now our bebe is already an 18-week baby! How time flies!
The truth is that i really don't feel like being near a computer after i get off work, hence i did not get round to scanning the scan print-outs of the little one, which has filled up two booklets given by the doctor. The extensive print-outs were because the pregnancy was a little unstable in the beginning (as with all pregnancies) and i had to visit the doctor weekly to monitor the progress of the little one. But luckily, all went well and now we are into the second trimester! But there was another kind of pressure in the first trimester - i was not gaining weight and hubby was worried. In fact, i lost 5kgs in the first trimester but my doctor said that it was normal and there was nothing to be worried about.
Things are getting better in the second trimester... at least i'm finishing my plate of food at meal times! And i hope i'm gaining some weight in the course of it! People have been asking me if i have any cravings.. well, i have been craving for beef and had one whole week of beef-dishes at lunchtime last week! Hopefully the meat will give me sufficient intake of iron which means that i don't need to take so many iron pills which can make my internal system even more sluggish!

Congrats congrats!!
Yes, take good care of yourself, and make sure you have enough rest. I think that's most important. Especially when your tummy is not too big yet, to make it uncomfortable when you lie in. Hehehe. Yes yes, that's when the third trimester kicks in.
There's soooo many theories on what to eat, what not to eat by us Chinese... hehehe. As long as you eat in moderation, I am sure there will be no problems!!
Do take care, and I am sure your little one will be fine! :-)
Thanks, Suping!
