Day 48

Day 48 - 25 weeks of pregnancy

Today marks my baby's 25th week. Still looking great in terms of growth and development. Her head circumference is just right and she weighs approximately 1 1/2 lb. now. At the end of the second trimester, much of the expected reflexes maybe developed as she is expected to react to her curiosity in terms of sense of touch, hearing and eyesight (but only in perceiving brightness). She is also very active when we were viewing her via ultrasound. Her cheeks look chubby and she has a strong sucking reflex since she always puts her hands on her mouth. It's amazing to see also how she reacts with the cold jelly that she punches. I am beyond excited along with my husband as we watch her in 3d. She even gives us a "Hang Loose" sign with her hands just like how her dad fondly does. Very Polynesian. Her nose is what everybody compliments on. Thank God for a very good result of our check up today.

In addition to that, we were able to make the initial payment for our hospital. Union Hospital has a 4 day, 3 night Maternity Package for Normal Spontaneous Delivery. God be willing, we'll be able to deliver normally with no complications whatsoever. We have booked our hospital, we have booked our gynaecologist as well and we're continuously preparing for "the" day. Mission accomplished and I feel glad and accomplished about it.
