Happy 28 weeks aka 7 month to BB Eden.!

BB Eden big big lo!!

I have one big stretch mark on my tummy already! ):

Happy 27th weeks to BB Eden. He's getting crowded and less gymnastic movements but more of the kicks and elbow jabs.! No wonder he's moving more and more vigorously and I gained another 2 kg in 28 weeks. Now I'm weighing 59.5kg already! So heavy!

Symptoms that I'm suffering now are:
Backaches
Insomnia
Frequent toilet trips
Heart-burns
Fatigue

your baby’s changes this week

  • Your baby continues to take practice breaths this week, breathing amniotic fluid in and out of its lungs and swallowing it as well. It can also suck, blink, roll, kick, grasp and hiccup.
  • More REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep in week 28, which is so important for your baby’s brain. Studies have shown that newborns spend a large portion of their time in REM sleep as well, so your little one is getting in lots of practice beforehand.
  • Your baby’s brain is changing from being soft and smoothly rounded to having the familiar grooves and indentations on its surface.
  • This week your baby’s hair may be going through a growing phase. Some babies are born bald or with fine, almost invisible hair on their head. Others are born with a thatch of hair.

hints for the week

  • If you find yourself rushing to the toilet every five minutes just sit tight. Chances are this is because the baby is lying in a particularly prominent position on top of your bladder. Try lying on your side to see if this prompts it to move into another position.
  • Watch that indigestion and heartburn. Antacids may have replaced jelly babies as your favourite lollies and you’ve got packets of them stashed in every bag and drawer.
  • Ease that back pain by doing strengthening exercises. Check with an obstetric physiotherapist about how you can target the muscles and joints which are causing you grief.
  • Book a holiday. Now is the time to think about organising some time away before the baby is born. Having a break between leaving work and your due date can be incredibly restorative and help remind you of the important things in life.
I believe more to come soon as I proceed to my 3rd trimester now. BB Eden is getting more active during mid-nights than daytime. Aww~ Opposite! During the day, I'm always wanting to play with him but he's so calm and relax , doesn't want to care about me this mommy! Humpf! When night time, he's so naughty. Keep kicking me so hard and it scares me at times when I'm falling asleep soon.

Went out my aunty, mommy, babbyhubby, cousin and her family for shopping on Sunday.

Bought a bag at Isetan. This bag have a lot compartments and is very light. Unlike my other bag, once it's loaded it's so heavy including the weight of the bag. This bag cost $56. Same as the one my cousin using now.



Bought the nursing pad in offer price at kiddy palace and 2 powder holder.
Mommies, if you noticed you have leakage of pre-milk, you can get the nursing pad to prevent it stains onto your clothes and bed sheets. You also will need it if you are breastfeeding after birth as it will leak too.
When buying powder holder make sure you get those inside include a net want is better because the powder sponge will take up a lot powder while dabbing. With the net, you wont waste too much powder while using it.


I also bought this in offer price from Kiddy palace. My cousin said that if normally offer price is around this price, the baby expo will probably be having this price as well so there's no need to wait for further comparison. There will be exactly many same brand appear in the baby expo too.

It comes with the whole pack includes the steriliser, 2small milk bottles, a teething toy, a water-drinking bottle and a pair of pacifier.

the steriliser

2small milk bottles, a teething toy, a water-drinking bottle and a pair of pacifier.

Total cost after offer. Without offer, just the steriliser only costs $149. There's 2 types of steriliser. Digital and Electric. Digital is more expensive and the steriliser last longer hours after sterilise but I think the electric one is good enough. Lasted 6 hours.

As for the pram, we decided not to buy first. Not in a rush for it yet. Cause newborn baby have to be carried in arms first, cannot put in pram as they are too small and they cannot adjust their head themselves. Moreover, my cousin may want to give me pram probably later after BB Eden 1 month.

Don't wanna spend things on some of the unnecessarily stuffs. We shall gather all the money for any further use or needs. The rest of the necessarily things not yet gather will be left till baby expo then buy.
