Our Pregnancy Journey 2011 & 2012

Our first antenatal appointment at 7 weeks with our obstetrician, Dr Peng Ng. With great awe and much excictement we met Baby Sun- a tiny little person taking shape in my uterus....


The first formal USS at 13 weeks, check out the smile on the scrawny little bub!





Belly shot at 16 weeks...I had just felt the first flutters of movement at this time & a little tummy was developing.

Our morphology scan at 20 weeks and everything was spot on....



24 weeks - feeling great!



Third trimester - 28 weeks!


38 weeks and we are just about ready in the nursery for the arrival of our little one. Yang and I were about to head off to dinner this evening- it may be the last time we're a carefree couple going out.



38 weeks and on my way to Peri's Hens Party! This is probably as big as I'm going to get before the arrival.....hopefully sometime soon!


Bubs estimated due date is 23rd March 2012....so stay tuned....
