It's another round of routine checkup today. Having listened to Dr Chan's advice, Mummy was glad to find out that her efforts to moderate her food intake had paid off as she had put on less than 2kg in the past 4 weeks.

What she didn't expect was that it certainly didn't stop me from growing! I had almost doubled my weight in the 4 weeks and am now weighing approximately 1.3kg! Personally, I'm truly happy that I'm growing so well. After all, a boy can't be too scrawny right?

But Dr Chan had to spoil it all by saying that at this rate that I'm growing, I'll probably reach 3.8kg at full term. That really made Mummy sit up and declare that she would try her best to cut all the sweets and junk food. I'm not really worried though, because I'm sure Mummy will succumb to her favourite CNY goodies eventually. ;p

After the checkup, Mummy had to return to the lab to finish up her blood test for gestational diabetes (she had gone for the first cycle just before we went to Dr Chan's). Honestly, I don't know why she had to do the test - I'm really just a big and healthy boy, what's the fuss about?

In any case, Mummy went through another 2 cycles of blood test before we left to celebrate 爷爷 and 奶奶's birthday at Vivocity. And right in the middle of the celebration, Mummy received a call from Dr Chan's and it turned out she didn't have gestational diabetes after all! Her blood count was a little on the low side though, so she'll have to take some iron tablets. But that's really quite typical for a pregnant lady apparently.

See Mummy! I told you so right? Now please don't cut those sweets ok? Pretty please???
