BabyBump reports: Baby Size ~ 29.2cm (large mango). Baby Weight ~ 0.499kg

Your baby is probably quite active by now and you should be able to feel movement or kicks in your belly. It might even be possible to see the movements on the surface of your skin.

After the crazy worrying about not feeling kicks, our son is finally giving me some action. However, as W would say it, my belly is probably too lined with fats for us to see any movements on the surface of the skin just yet. He kicks a few times a day and sometimes gives a series of kicks around meal times. I’m also getting the feeling that he’s a fussy eater because he makes me puke food out even when they’re not that bad. And it’s not because I’m too full either because the first time I felt him kicking (and it was a series of kicks), I’d eaten A LOT of food including two whole bowls of Zosui (Japanese porridge).

We’re also wrecking our brains trying to think of names for the kid. “Junior” and “Wengr” are probably not going to help him survive high school. Fortunately, the responsibility for coming up with his Chinese name has been assigned to the in-laws.

On a more positive note, we are at least getting some headway with the crazy excel list of things to buy. Categorized according to areas like Feeding, Changing, to Travel etc, we are looking at a big hole in the pocket that we are trying to control by doing as much research as possible before buying. Today, we walked into Motherswork (a local store) and looked at strollers. They didn’t have a lot of models for us to select so we could only really look at the Bugaboo Cameleon and the Stokke Xplory. But more on strollers in another post…
